One of the things I loved about Gilla Brewery was that I could get delicious authentic tacos and burritos nextdoor at Taquiera Don Beto 2 and consume them at the brewery next door.

Damn Covid...



Are they done for good? I never stopped by during the short time they were open. Hell I live 5 minutes from there.

I think he just meant because you can't go right now due to it being a bar.

They still exist as a business

Gilla is still making beer to-go only which you order online and then pickup at the brewery on Saturdays. I just can’t hang out at the brewery, drink gilla beer on draft, watch sports, and chomp down Don Beto barbacoa burritos.

Tried:
Trailer Park Trashy (bleh)
Chicken Fajita (bleh)
Beef Fajita (gross)
Crossroads (decent)
Queso (one of the best I've ever had)

The cheese was also so bland. Why not use better cheeses?

Anyone try the "Some Like it Hot" menu for August?

They are bringing the heat!

This year’s Some Like It Hot menu lineup includes:

• Bottle Rocket Shrimp Taco: Habanero-battered fried shrimp, cabbage slaw, cotija cheese, candied jalapenos, cilantro and Diablo Mayo, served on a flour tortilla.

• Daredevil Queso Blanco: A spicy sister to our legendary Green Chile Queso! Our new Daredevil Queso Blanco features roasted jalapenos and serranos, fresh cilantro and Diablo Sauce, served with a basket of house fried chili lime salted Chicharrones.

• Ring of Fire Margarita: Habanero-infused Exotico tequila with housemade sweet and sour, fresh jalapeno and a Tajin rim.

Well, it’s not open to the public now, but pre-covid, it’d just be whatever sport was on tv at that moment. It opened last fall, so I was usually there during football games, but I think I remember seeing a hockey game on at some point. There wasn’t much ambiance about the place as it’s just a small spot in a strip mall with some tvs and a couple arcade games. Just good beer and good friends (I grew up going to school with one of the owners).

They didn’t have the bottle rocket shrimp taco last weekend. They said since they just opened they were focusing on the regular menu and didn’t have any specialty items. Maybe call before to see if they have it. It might be that they have since added it.
