With a strong 4.9-star rating from enthusiastic patrons, many argue it deserves a perfect five stars. Customer Jeff Meister proclaims it as the best Mexican food he has encountered, promising to return every time he passes through town.

Guests rave about the inviting atmosphere that is both clean and welcoming. According to Christina Martin, the fun vibe and attentive service complement the excellent food. The carne asada nachos receive particular praise for their extraordinary flavor, catching the attention of anyone seeking a delightful meal.

The 4.9 star rating is misleading, this place is a solid 5 stars. Best Mexican food I've ever had. I will be stopping here every time I pass through Gilla Bend.

We had a wonderful time here! The atmosphere was phenomenal, it was clean and well maintained and so incredibly fun! Service was good and the food was excellent. We ordered the tacos that were good but that nachos were absolutely out of this world. I would almost drive across the country again to get the carne asada nachos.

The not-so-hidden Jewel of Gila Bend ! It's El Taco Tri.. just a block North of Sophia's; the place with all the Yard Art outside. Even though there is a big,white banner with the name on it outside.. I'm guessing that a lot of people pass by thinking that it's just a yard art store. But go inside for a delightful lunch and some ice cream!! I've eaten at every spot in Gila Bend (which is not to say a lot), but this is by far, the best fresh food, and by far, the least expensive! I always get three Tacos, that come with a side of fresh, pickled veggies ! Wait for it.... for just 6 !!! Why anyone would sit in the drive-through at McD' down the street and pay 12-15 for junk-burgers is beyond me ????

Do yourself a favor. Stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner at El Taco Tri. If you’re overnighting at Love’s and you don’t want to walk the 0.7 miles (no judgement) they have a lot right next store you can park your rig in. Same price as Taco Bell, but way better food! I mean way better food!! I mean way, way, way better food!!!! Try the cucumber lemon aqua fresca. Carne Asada street tacos. Or anything really, it’s all delicious!
