    This good is amazing, excellent food and customer service. I recommend it, the Mexican atmosphere is nice too. 10/10 we came here in a Saturday during 1:30pm and there were plenty of tables available for walk in, but you can reserve if you need to. Restrooms are clean, food good, and well there’s nothing wrong with this amazing place.

    I love this place. The breakfast buffet has a lot of options to choose from. They have chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, menudo, posole, guisado, frijoles charros, molletes, huevos con chorizo, papas con chorizo, sausage, hash browns, French toast, pancakes, arroz con leche, fruit, salad bar, flan, and on the weekends they had tacos de barbacoa. You can also order tortillas de harina or eggs overeasy with your waitress. The aguas are FRESH and FANTASTIC. I highly recommend.

    I feel so bad for giving them one star but every time I go I get food poisoning or I get very sick. My family loves it but it just doesn't agree with me. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very family friendly as well. Is just the food is not for me.

    I’m sorry but you all need to hire cooks that know how to make Mexican food. I just went to your restaurant this weekend and not only was the food gross but finding extra inedible things in my food was disgusting!!! I went a while back and decided to visit one more time thinking things have change but my experience was worse! Yuck!! And the sopapillas??? Tasted like lard and flour. The green and red supposably enchiladas were can sauce. Menudo was tasteless. Beans, gross. Nothing really appealing to the eye unless you don’t know about food. I know it’s a fast food restaurant but things need changing. Never will I visit any of your Gallegos restaurant again. My cooking is 100 times better. I could teach your “cooks” a thing or two. Not ashamed to blast you all though. And is there something lower than the first star??? Just asking. ———-⭐️—— negative star.

    I love the openness of this location, the lighting and overall cleanliness is very good. They had lots of choices for their breakfast buffet. The food was well seasoned with great flavor. This will definitely be my go to for breakfast buffet for sure. Also the staff was very friendly and efficient and quick to refill our coffee cups 😍❣️

    this place is very disappointing, the food is not good at all, very greasy and salty more than the normal Mexican food. Enchiladas are awful ! But I think the rest of the food is like that as well. The only good thing about this place is their buñuelos and fruit. I think for the price there are a lot of BETTER places with better food.

    Excellent buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. I specially like eating breakfast over there. I do the Keto diet and there are plenty of low carb options. Staff is friendly and I never ran out of water (I work outside so I am very thirsty most of the time)

    Delicious! This is my grandfather’s favorite restaurant! I was visiting family a few weeks ago in El Paso and my grandfather wanted to come eat. He used to come and eat here with my grandmother all the time! He remembered some of the staff and they were so nice to him! The waitress was also very attentive and the whole experience was excellent! The restaurant is very clean and the food was hot and delicious! Thank you for such a pleasant experience ❤️👋🏼

    Food here is pretty much always great. The bad thing is it takes forever for more to come out and people start to wait anxiously. Basic homestyle Mexican food..very good. Just have to be quicker. Lemonade is awesome

    Love the fact that when we've missed breakfast, the servers will still make us some if we ask. Great customer service and the food is always Delicious👍

    For the quality of food, we believe it's not worth the price.. $15.00 a person was steep for a breakfast buffet. The ham tasted off, the sausage was burnt, the hash browns were a dripping with grease soggy mess..

    Very good place to eat. Everything tatse so good. I said to myself where do you ever see and fund a Mexican buffet? Iam from Phoenix I don't see anything out there. Again this is a good place to bring family friends to eat some traditional food. Waitress are very kind and on top of you.

    I was just driving through El Paso from New Mex and by accident ended up having lunch here with my family. Food was so delicious and authentic, customer service was top notch and very affordable, I will come back God willing..

    This place is the best of all of the gallegos in El Paso. Best selection of food staff always curious. I have visit all of them and I would always come back to this one even though is far away. Cheap price very good food.

  • 2/5 Sylvia Del H. 1 year ago on Google
    So many people in there. Food not that great. Menudo was delicious though. Surely not worth what I paid for. Also the restaurant is dirty. I didn't notice the old crust of food on my granddaughters booter seatbelt. NASTY!

  • 4/5 Lea B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere. Waitresses were pretty nice. I think my only complaint would be the timing to wait for them to refill the buffet. Other than that, I did enjoy the food.

  • 4/5 Jon A. 6 months ago on Google
    Gallegos is simple mexican food, some dishes are mediocre (the tacos were ok), others taste great (Fahitas, Chilli Reno, Enchiladas). You can't beat the price or the great service. I was immediately seated and the waitress brought me 2 glasses of ice tea to start. I'm stuffed!

    The food here is always delicious, especially the soup! I love being able to have a variety of always amazing tasting dishes at a great price!

    Chile colorado was way too salty, Music needs to fit the atmosphere..... Should be traditional mariachi, trio's, bolero. Not trashy mexican pop.
