Oh man. The restaurant is bright and colorful, the booth was comfortable and everything looked clean. Long history with Mexican food, and this was as good as it gets in any restaurant in Texas. The Carne Asada was well cooked and perfect. The grilled jalapeño was on point and the green onion paired with every thing on the plate. Refried beans just like you want them with moist fluffy rice. There was only one lady in front of house and she is my favorite person in the building she was helpful, was nice and really made an effort to help us get the food exactly the way we wanted. The ugly hot salsa. Oh take the tums and have the hot sauce. It was amazingly good. A delicious new flavor to a loved condiment. I had the fried shrimp and cheese appetizer. Best fried shrimp I had in a long time, and the cheese was a surprising win.The desserts were expertly fried to the crunchy apex of done. Who ever is chefing the fryer needs a raise.

Excellent food. Legit Mexican food. I'm from San Diego where Mexican food there is fantastic. So when we moved to Burlington we discovered Mi Gitano! Great drinks and awesome service! My favorite now!! Cute atmosphere!

Food poisoning. We had lunch here yesterday 10/3 around 1:30pm and by 11pm I was throwing up and had full blown food poisoning. I am pregnant so we got combo fajitas thinking it would be cooked to temp and safe, NOPE! We will never be returning to this restaurant, yuck!!

I can't get enough of how incredible the food at this restaurant is! Silvia, the server who served me, was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the three chicken enchiladas combo for dinner and fried ice cream for dessert and wow, so good... I will be back!

Despite being noticeably understaffed and a lot of traffic, we never waited very long and the food was incredible. The corn tortillas on the enchiladas were out of this world and the mole was so good.

So I have been on the look out for saucy cheese enchiladas, craving them really, and this place delivered. First we had the buffalo shrimp, cheese, jalapeños, and shrimp that is breaded and fried, so so yummy. Then I had the cheese enchiladasAnd they were delicious, good red sauce, rice and beans were also great. We also had the raspberry chimichanga for dessert, crispy, filled with cream cheese and raspberry sauce and fried to perfection. Beside food, the restaurant was bright, and great comfy booths. The server was fabulous, she was fun, really communicated and had recommendations, and and brought us this spicy chunky salsa that was delicious, burn your mouth, but delicious. Great place!

I've been to El Gitano many times over the years. It has never failed to provide excellent service, great food in a very comfortable environment. Regardless of how busy they are, the service is always prompt, friendly and efficient.... without exception. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. The tables are bussed and cleaned almost immediately. The wait people appear at your table within minutes with a smile and fresh chips and very tasty homemade salsa. I can always depend on El Gitano to provide a pleasant dining experience!

So good. This location has not missed yet. I get the same thing every time. El Gitano Special burrito. It's stewed pork in green sauce, rice and beans and covered in sauce, sliced jalapeños and some cheese. I always get a side of rice and beans too. I can't finish it all without being miserable but it's just as good later. My bride got the carne asada plate lunch. Perfect portion and she said it was excellent. Service is efficient and the food came out promptly. The place has a full bar and booths and tables. There is a server station in the entry which is huge and blocks the view of the inside. They should get rid of it. It's so imposing. There would be a lot more light in there if so.
