Delicious food, beautiful presentation, and unbelievable prices. Amazing place for lunch with family and friends. We shared the Choriqueso which was loaded with chorizo, and I had the Gorilla Hot Dog which was delicious. The Burgers and Tortas all used fresh meat and tasted wonderful, and the salads had crunchy and fresh greens along with chicken and salmon that tastes like it is grilled to order. Everything was wonderful and I plan on visiting as much as I can to try out more of their food.
Full Review Below The Choriqueso as an appetizer is served bubbling hot on a skillet and is loaded with chorizo along with 6 homemade tortillas on the side.
The Gorilla Hot Dog is one of my favorites that I try to get every time I visit. It’s a savory sausage wrapped in bacon and topped with tomato, grilled onion, house sauce, and a big slice of Panela Cheese. The hot dog feels like a meal by itself for the price of $2.99, there’s nowhere else where something this delicious can be this affordable.
The Mushroom Swiss Poblano Burger is unlike any mushroom burger I’ve had. The Poblanos cut the creaminess very nicely and bring a wonderful flavor to the burger that I can’t find anywhere else. If you like Mushroom Swiss, I recommend trying this burger at least once, you won’t regret it.
The Grilled Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce is a beautiful salad with a large piece of fresh grilled Salmon accompanied with rice and vegetables. The fish tasted fresh and so did the vegetables. The arrangement and proportions of the Grilled Salmon is the best I’ve seen at any restaurant whether it be sit-down casual or fine dining. I am not the biggest fan of fish, but even I can appreciate a wonderful dish such as this.
The Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad is served with freshly grilled chicken on top of a bed of parmesan cheese and cool crisp romaine lettuce, which is accompanied by cherry tomatoes and croutons. This was the first time I had freshly grilled chicken added to a Ceasar Salad, and it elevated the quality of it tremendously. The Chicken was seasoned perfectly and left me feeling warm, while the salad was cool and refreshing.
Lastly, the Steak Torta is a great representation of a traditional Torta. The Steak and the Ham were coated with a layer of Mozzarella Cheese which held the sandwich together, and was topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickled red onions, house sauce, and avocado. The Torta is a great option for those seeking something more traditional but still delicious.
My partner and I are foodies and have traveled to different countries to try out their cuisines, but nowhere comes close to the amazing quality of the food and service at Gorilla Grill. All of the food we ate left us feeling great and refreshed for the rest of the day and had us thinking about what to order the next...
Read moreI had seen good reviews for this location...the reviews are spot on but just some minor details I saw. I had the burrito and ordered a side of mozzarella sticks.
The mozzarella sticks were a nice surprise. Crispy... perfectly toasted...and the cheese was melted just right. But it was lacking a marinara with more zest. It was a little on the watery side...but still a side I would order any time.
The beef in the burrito was cooked perfectly. It was tender, seasoned to the right flavor...but the rice and beans lacked a little flavor. Usually the flavor comes in a nice salsa...and I felt thats what was lacking. I know this place specializes in clean meals...clean flavors, so maybe it's my palette that is used to the heavier condiments in other locations...but that's just me. But the burrito was filling and a good lunch selection.
The place is a little pricier when compared to similar food options.
The other small detail was when I showed up, I happened to arrive in the middle of a sports game...so the staff were watching the game. I stood in the front for about a minute before they realized I was there. I don't doubt the customer service...once they realized I was there, I was attended perfectly...but that was my experience.
Still a place to definitely check out...
Read moreCute little neighborhood cafe on Sugar Road. I ordered the grilled fish with steamed rice and green, leafy salad. It was the good lettuce, (not pale iceberg kind) with sliced cucumber, grape tomatoes and slice of red onion. My fish was flavorful and tender. It wasn't on the menu but the server offered the cucumber water drink which was absolutely delicious! You get one additional refill. My husband got a grilled chicken salad. (We're trying to eat healthy!) But the menu had the usual burgers, fries and such.
The restaurant is small but not too crowded at lunch. There were teachers on their inservice lunch break and Edinburg police officers lunching there too.
The only negative was that a television was playing overhead on the wall and competing with other music playing, but we politely asked our server to please turn off the tv and she did.
We thought the service was very friendly and efficient as well. You pay in the front. FYI, there is an 3.9% charge for using a credit card.
Breakfast is served all day. We...
