Taqueria El Gallo De Jalisco

This place is amazing , all the one star reviews are just people who nitpick everything. The Carne Asada was salty but I for one love saltiness and it really helped the salsa not be overwhelmingly hot. The portions to price is beyond acceptable and can't say that it's not unfair at all. Service when we sat down to eat was alright, nothing to write home about but also I am the type who just wants to come in eat my food and get a refill. When we asked for salsa to go and to go boxes they weren't stingy at all and gave us all the salsa you could ask for. Another reason why I added some more cash on the already high tip I put down. The menu is small so you're not running around trying to find one thing that looks good. The place is very appealing and the atmosphere is nice and calming. Overall out of 10 I'd give it a 8.7/10. I have been back 5 times since I first tried the place. I recommend it to anyone who has a few bucks in their pocket trying to get full and have a delicious meal.

Great soup the pulpo was tender and the shrimp were not overcooked. The broth was flavorful. The tripe tacos were fried crispy like I asked and they didn't have any hint of that barnyard flavor. Food came out fast and the restaurant was clean.

Ceviche and Seafood soup! The most amazing!!Will be a must stop every time we pass this way!!!

When I first moved to Midland, I ate here for breakfast one day on a whim. It was sooo good!! I forgot the name of it, and have been looking for it ever since. Tonight, my wife was starving so I pulled open my Yelp app and searched Mexican Food... this place came up as the closest to where we were. When I pulled up.. I freaked out. YES YES YES! I found you again!!! This time I will NOT forget you!!This is AUTHENTIC Mexican. They do NOT speak English here. Do not let that stop you.. just point at the picture of what you want.. it will be amazing!Complimentary chips and salsa, amd if you're like me, you quickly judge the place based on the salsa. You will not be disappointed!! Not chunky, perfect for dipping.. it is HOT! You have been warned!They also have Mexican Coke!! Imported in.. it has real sugar.. it's the only way to go.. if you have had this... you know what's up. If not. You need to get it!

Some things are meant to be simple.Corn, flour, meat, onion, cilantro, limes, all topped off with a homemade hot sauce . All that goodness double wrapped in the tortilla, folded and eaten. Simple, no pretense, the food of the masses. The stuff you can drive a mile and everyone else is striving for this kind of quality.Oh, but there's nothing simple about the tacos here, or as near as I could tell, anything else that was coming out of the kitchen door and served to smiling faces. Large bowls of steaming soups laced with bits of corn, meat and vegetables in a savory broth had our fellow diners faces down in the steam. Something special is going on here.A friend and I were returning from 3 days of hiking in Big Bend National Park about 2 hours south of here and sought world class Mexican food with a vengeance. Success. Thank you, Yelp.We arrive at an impossible early time for lunch because of a flight we had to catch. 10:55 a.m., that time of day most restaurants can't hit their stride. Within minutes of being seated the crowd starts coming. Construction workers, a family of three with an elderly man in a wheelchair--the waitress gives him a hug and a kiss but it's clear he's just a customer, not family. Guys that look like they might be close to homeless and folks that have driven from the local office with their ties on, they're all here consuming the magic that's going on. Oh, and two guys with sore legs, backs and hips from 30 miles of hiking at 7-8,000 feet, blissful looks on their face as Mexican Cokes are downed with heavenly tacos of lengua, pollo, steak and pork.Damn, but if I ever return to Midland, Texas, with the purpose of heading back to Big Bend, the 7-8 mile backtrack away from the park and the extra driving time to this restaurant will be in the cards. This my hiking friend and I made a pact. Skip the lunch in Dallas airport, hunger for that big bowl of soup everyone was having with big slices of avocado. We'll be back. May be a year, but you don't forget food this good.If you come: the TV will be blaring MTV style videos of Mexican guys and gals in tight jeans and hats with accordions and guitars. Cinder block building, industrial area clearly not intended for a restaurant but do not let that deter. Big orange exterior with restaurant name. You'll pass a dozen similar places from the interstate. Don't you dare drive by. Big, roomy, friendly no-nonesense waitresses, pay at the front cash register. Waitresses spoke English fine but we still attempted to order in our best 2nd grade Spanish. They smiled, so did we.

Came in on 4-6-19 tagged along with mom on a business trip so she wouldn't have to drive alone and she has always hyped this place to me so much and she is the type that's hard to impress but it was very good food I had a shrimp cocktail and a Gordita. Gordita was not what I expected it to me was more like a sandwich but still good in its own unique way. If you're driving to midland it's not too far off the Interstate.

My husband and I went there Sunday for lunch. Kara never checked on us. I had no silverware for my meal. We never were asked if our meal was fine if we needed anything else. We also received NO REFILLS on our coffee or lemonade. The food was good. SERVICE NOT SO MUCH. My husband no matter how lousy the food or service is HE ALWAYS LEAVES A TIP. I had to send him outside and I pay so there would be NO TIP. Sorry not sorry enough is enough!

Delicious food, friendly staff, generous portions, fast. Authentic tacos that I could just keep eating. Will be eating here any time I'm in Midland. Great place to eat for sure!

Food was amazing. Real authentic Mexican. The asada fries are a must. Sister wasn't a fan of the chicken but agreed the steak was five plus stars!!

It was alright the plate that I order was the torta and taco and I guess it was okay ..
