West side gains Mexican restaurant

May 29, 2019

Customers are filling up on tacos and burritos at the new west-side location for Giliberto’s Mexican Taco Shop.

The family-owned restaurant opened its third Sioux Falls site May 23 in the new Roosevelt Marketplace on Sertoma Avenue just north of 41st Street. The dining room and drive-thru are open 24 hours a day, every day of the week.

In its first week of operation, the restaurant has been swamped at times, and the drive-thru wasn’t fully functional until Tuesday morning.

“We would like to thank every customer for being patient on waiting for their order,” said Ana Coconi, whose family owns the restaurants. “We are working really hard to make everybody’s order right.”

Giliberto’s features an extensive menu, with everything from street tacos and burritos to enchiladas and chimichangas. Breakfast items such as huevos rancheros and a Spanish omelet are served all day. The cooks also make the traditional soup menudo on the weekends.

Inside, there’s seating for 64 people. Customers order at the counter, and a server brings the food to the table. Diners can help themselves to a salsa bar.

The restaurant is the sixth location for the family, which is originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, Coconi said. They opened the first one in Moab, Utah, and in addition to Sioux Falls, expanded to Willmar and St. Cloud, Minn. Giliberto’s also is opening in June in Blaine, Minn., a suburb on the north side of the Twin Cities.

Coconi said the family isn’t looking to expand further in Sioux Falls at this point but is considering restaurants in Brookings, Rapid City, Aberdeen, Fargo and other cities in Minnesota.
