Taqueria El Gallito

We stopped in today for dinner as we all love trying places we've never been. This place is bright and the parking is easy and plentiful. The restaurant is clean minus a really cluttered area near the back they use for storage that is a huge eye sore. There was a real disconnect while ordering as the woman taking the order spoke no English and my Spanish is weak at best. So, we played the game of pointing at photos of meals on the wall and pretending we understood one another. That ended with our meal last being no where near what we ordered. Green sauce on the wrong plate, red sauce on the wrong plate, etc..The food was good but on the high end of average. The shrimp cocktail was first rate and the highlight of my meal. My mineragua was ice cold and really helped on a hot day. The mariachi music was wonderful but entirely too loud. We couldn't hear one another talk and conversation was really strained. The bill was almost 100 dollars for three people and we simply didn't eat 100 dollars worth of food. All in all, not a bad place but not a great place either. I likely wouldn't choose to eat there again but wouldn't refuse if someone invited me.

6 tacos for $32 Flavor was great, meat was tender, tacos were slightly on the small side. Overall it was great but do not expect to be filled with 2 tacos since they are more on the traditional street taco sized tacos. Looking forward to going back and trying other items on the menu next time.

We were quite busy and couldn't quite get to figuring out our dinner plan, so we ended up calling in an order for pick up since it's conveniently down the road from us (quite literally). As another review mentions, they do not speak much English, so I opted to ask for my order in Spanish over the phone. It was still somehow a bit confusing as there was noise in the background. I think if you want to try this place and don't speak Spanish at all, just go in person and then figure it out from there. The tacos are tiny, street sized and are much like ones you'd get from a truck on Federal. They are very good, and definitely help yourself to the salsas and the pickled jalapeño/carrot/onion and you'll be set. My hubs and I each got 3, but I feel my hubs could have had 4. So if hungry, order accordingly. I also supplemented my meal with some cut up fresh crudite (read carefully: carrots and cucumbers) to help cool my palette. We had the lengua, carnitas, and carne asada. All solid. I've sort of recently become a carnitas snob, so I would not say they are the best I've ever had but still good. Also, so cheap. I guess I didn't realize how much the tacos were until after I paid. Less than $10 for 6. But again, they are small, so decide accordingly.

This was the last stop on our recent Taco Tour. We had hit the taco wall pretty hard and decided to end here. All in all, this place pretty good. They did have a small salsa bar, which I always appreciate. Although, the salsa choices were somewhat limited, and the onions were a bit oxidized.As for the tacos, the lengua was okay, and the chicken was somewhat bland. The adobada was pretty good. The chorizo, however, although minced rather fine was very good. It was almost off-puttingly red in color, but the flavor really worked. I would definitely be willing to come here again sometime.

Absolutely terrible. This place is trash & their service was sorry af. The cashier was rude and completely messed up our order. She also charged us $36 for four tacos, nacho's & two drinks when we clearly ordered 6 taco's not 4. She then came to our table and said she forgot to charge us for 2 of the 6 taco's. She asked us to pay for them, although their the ones who messed it up. After we had already tipped them $6 bucks on top of our order. Which I'm not sure why they even have an option to tip them on their screen when everything is self served? The taco's are extremely small btw and they have the audacity to charge $3 each for them. Never again

Cheap, delicious, authentic tacos! Super fast when I call in my order to pick up. Can't go wrong with the classics- carnitas, asada, al pastor.

Great food the taco are the best!!! The service is great they are very friendly. The place is good over all and look the way the taqueria has the authenticity look to it

If you don't speak Spanish good luck ordering. Per usual the Mexican food in Denver is tasteless slop masked with hot sauce. Ordered baria tacos..... got home and no sauce to dip them into. The beans had zero flavor and a bit dry. The rice had zero flavor. Small menu too. It's pretty bad when Taco Bell is the best Mexican food in the whole area.

Do not go here !!! We ordered tacos de asada and the meat was grey & it had a nasty taste to it the tacos de al pastor were bland and so were the tacos de carnitas. Don't waste your time find a different taco spot. And all the workers there look miserable to be there. Horrible food and costumer service !!!!

I used to come here several times per week...never again... now, it is just awful in every way. Over-priced, with no pricing on the menu(!!!!!!) I am charged something different, for the same item, every single time I come in here...it takes FOREVER to get simple items, even when there is no one else in the store....food quiality has deteriorated badly as well...I am finally learning my lesson, and giving up. :(
