Los Jilbertos Taco Shop selected as Menifee’s April Business Spotlight

MENIFEE – The city of Menifee announced Los Jilbertos Taco Shop as the April Business Spotlight, a program that is a part of the Economic Development Department’s B3 Building Better Businesses program.

Known for its super nachos, loaded carne asada fries, classic huevos rancheros and chile relleno burrito, Los Jilbertos became a community favorite.

In search of a new location in the Inland Empire, Los Jilbertos’ owners chose Menifee because of its thriving business community as well as its robust commercial and residential development. In 2022, Los Jilbertos Taco Shop opened for business in the McCall Plaza, 27511 McCall Blvd., serving the Menifee community with additional locations in neighboring cities such as Murrieta, Lake Elsinore and Temecula.

Its presence in the city goes beyond the kitchen to prioritizing giving back to the communities it serves. The taco shop regularly assists local schools and actively participates in Menifee programs, including the Menifee Passport and the Menifee Taco Trail. Los Jilbertos participated in the Me nifee Passport program in the holiday season of 2022 by offering a discount to encourage supporting local and community involvement of residents and visitors alike. Its ongoing participation in the Menifee Taco Trail also champions supporting local businesses while exploring the city’s offerings.
