Los Gallos Mexican Restaurant

Restaurant Mexican restaurant Latin american restaurant

😐 I ordered the Chile Relleno combo, one with 2 cheese enchiladas and one just with the chile only. The size of the chile is very small and it's not the kind of chile used for Chile Relleno. The flavor of the salsa is not good, it's kind of sour. Service is always great, very efficient and fast. This... People often mention family, restaurant, salsa, Mexican, chile, good, Great,

    The food was ok, nothing too special. I'm not sure if it's because I took the food home and it cooled down a bit.

    It's not a modern atmosphere, and the one waitress is a bit overstretched during the lunch hour when I usually go there. But the food is good standard Mexican food the way grandma used to make, AND THE PRICES ARE UNBELIEVABLY LOW. My mom likes the hard-shelled taco or taquito combo. My dad likes the carnitas burrito (sometimes wet). I like the enchiladas or the chile relleno combo. Last week, the 3 of us went for lunch and ordered our favorite dishes, two of us had a Pepsi, and one of us had a beer. I think the total was $41 !!! Definitely pre-covid prices.

    Great food!!! Very nice owners!!! Quiet and peaceful family owned restaurant. Been going for a few months... Almost a year, almost daily, Monday through Friday for lunch. Always a pleasant meal with nice people to serve you, small chat... ALWAYS a nice experience.

    Los Gallos.. this is while in the wall Mexican family style Mexican restaurant you e been looking for. The food is exceptional, and the generational family run staff is very friendly and helpful. I love their chile verde burrito, wet with green sauce.. it’s a go to almost every visit here, but the chips and salsa are very good too. My friends and family all have their favorite plates as well, but the best thing about this place is spot is their prices. For those who don’t know, they still have their prices set from the 80s.. or at least it feels this way. It’s a funny thing to think you could grab a Del Taco burrito for more money than an authentic, tasty, sizable, delicious one only one block away at Los Gallos. I normally tip much larger here to help them out, as they, in my humble opinion, do not charge enough for their food.

    I had a platter of beans and rice with a shredded beef taco, a cheese enchilada and a cheese stuffed chili con Carne! The price was only $10.75 as of 10/26/23. I would recommend also came with free chips and salsa, the salsa was perfectly spicy. I washed everything down with an ice cold beer in a frosty mug!!

    This was my first time here and I should have asked what they recommend. I was told the enchiladas are the best so as soon as I go back I will let you know. Now the salsa they gave me with my chips was very delicious and tasty. I would go back just to get salsa there.

    We came at 3 on Friday. Waited 10 minutes to be seated and never saw anyone but 1 cook in the kitchen. After waiting that long and seeing no one, unfortunately we had to leave.

    We love this place. We've been enjoying their food for decades! They really need to consider refreshing the interior of the restaurant! Small family operater this delightful restaurant.

    Great food at an amazing price. Full bar and ice cold beer. Nice friendly family atmosphere with great service. Definitely a chill local spot.

    Service was good. The food was just okay. The Chile relleno was only half of the Chile. The albóndigas lacked its original flavor, The beef fajitas were not grilled and the corn tortillas were not fresh and were not even hot. No refills on horchata. The ambiance is more of a cantina than a restaurant. Would not come back.

    Found this small Mexican eatier while searching for authentic Mexican cuisine. While the restaurant has the look and feel of a local and family run restaurant, the service and taste leave much to be desired. I was surprised that the only seafood entree they offered was shrimp enchiladas or fajitas. I chose the later and was thoroughly disappointed by both the lack of shrimp and the horride taste of the guacamole (watery with an after taste that would only go away with soda). I think I counted four pieces of shrimp but a bunch of green peppers, onions, and grilled tomatoes. My fajitas came with two small flour tortillas. At least the beans and rice were a nice touch and tasted what it should be. The service was ok. The chip bowl never seemed empty since the server would always replace the bowl even if not empty. Two types of salsa were provided and it was ok. Another server seemed to be in a rush yet gave a smile while taking our order. At the time of our visit the restaurant I noticed about only 4 tables with patrons.

    I enjoyed the "hopelessly addicted to" chili verde, 5 star for sure. The shredded beef hard taco was only average, 3 star. I really appreciated the hospitality as I WAS NOT required to wear a face diaper, contradicting what's stated on the door.

    It's a good price for the size dish 👌 but I've had better Mexican food plus it felt like it took forever to get our food.

    Family owned, local restaurant. Great food, prices, with the family atmosphere. Our family loves eating here. Kid friendly.

    Great prices. Good food. I had the chile verde special. Good.

  • 4/5 Deb O. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed the taste and presentation of the food. I ordered two different enchiladas. There were several to choose from; those I ordered were delicious. I found the meal to have a lot of tasty moisture to it. Different from other Mexican restaurants. The Spanish rice had a delicate sort of relish on it, homemade and delicious. The atmosphere is friendly. But it's not that great having the Nightly News playing audibly near the dining area, especially these days. We will be returning to find out how the tamales are prepared.
