I read a few of the reviews before I posted mine. Seems weird to give somebody a one-star review when you don't read the menu and you're surprised by the prices. I've been here many times including last night. My wife and I had two awesome meals with a couple appetizers and we were out the door for $42. I felt like we got a lot of food for what we paid. Every time we come here we feel like we are actually in Mexico. The food is very good and feels a lot like restaurant we have visited in Mexico. They always do a very good job with the presentation of the food. My wife commented that if they had a nicer location they could easily charge twice as much for their food. The quality of the food, the presentation, the flavor, the quantity, all of it is very very good.

We were visiting SLC from Texas for a rugby tournament and staying in Sandy. Stumbled upon the small unassuming Mexican restaurant and thought we would give it a try. So glad we did! From the fresh chips and salsas (4 to choose from) to the amazing margaritas and to die for birria tacos, we loved everything! Not very crowded, server was nice and friendly. The interior of the place is a bit small and nothing special, but the food sure is! Thanks for a wonderful Mexican meal outside of Texas!

Very tasty food. I love how many veggies options they have. I ordered the veggie burrito with salad, rice and beans on the side. The salsa they give you when you first sit down is unlike anything I’ve ever eaten. So tasty!

Dining at Gallo Loco, you'll find a slice of SoCal served on a plate. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Southern California's relaxed vibe, bringing warmth and sunshine indoors. The food, both in taste and presentation, is outstanding. Each dish is an artful masterpiece that caters not just to your taste buds but also your eyes. No need for extra seasoning here, even for regular Cholula fans. A highlight is the chimichanga - a perfectly delicious treat that needs no enhancing. Gallo Loco impresses with its attentiveness to dietary needs. They prepared a unique vegan cactus enchiladas for our group, illustrating their ability to flexibly cater to diverse preferences. The owner, Alberto, is the heart of Gallo Loco. His friendliness radiates throughout the restaurant, making everyone feel at home. His meticulous attention to detail shines through in the food, service, and overall dining experience. The margaritas deserve special praise. They're unparalleled, delivering the perfect balance of flavors in every sip. For a SoCal culinary experience that is authentic, vibrant, and welcoming, make a beeline for Gallo Loco. Expect excellent food, warm hospitality, and unforgettable margaritas. No fluff, just a solid five-star dining experience.

I used to absolutely love this place but the prices of everything have just about doubled in the last few years. I paid over $37 for 2 small street taco’s ($7 EACH!?) and 2 appetizer (guacamole rolls are $17 EACH!?)….. What happened???? See photo’s attached.

DO NOT GO HERE !!!! Nastiest place ever, my stomach hurt after eating half a taco. The “mocajete” was not a mocajete, why is there chorizo in it. The carne Asada was dry ground beef that had no flavor. The cocktail for $18 was the worst thing ever, 5 pieces of baby shrimp with half an avocado. Everything was flavorless and dry. The beans were straight out of the can and the only thing was good was the rice. Disappointed cause I was excited to try this place out

Exceptionally good authentic Mexican food. Everything here has such a unique flavor, the salsas are all made in house and you can really tell that the owner takes pride in their shop. We ordered tacos, taconazo, guacamole rolls, and California burrito. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend the guac rolls and anything with the pibil pork! Will definitely be back for more :)

The atmosphere is great quiet small place serves alcohol also... food on a scale of 1-10 is a 4 service is a 10
