El Gallo Mexican Food

The food here is excellent, and the staff is extremely friendly. The dining area isn't fancy, but it's clean. Only thing I would say, is that the portions are on the small side.

Really good affordable Mexican food with friendly service. Went here for the first time for lunch with a coworker and ordered the Queso Birria tacos, the Asada Fries, and a Burrito. We had our choice of salsas and picked an avocado cream salsa and a tomatillo salsa. We also got a basket of chips. Everything was tasty.I've had better queso birria in town, but the three tacos were filling and the meat was nicely braised. They were extremely greasy and the consommé was in a shallow dish, so you couldn't easily dip them. You had to spoon the broth on and then it would drip all over the plastic basket. The beef on the Asada fries was really good and I would probably order street tacos next time to taste more of the meats available here. I like that they were served with avocado slices. The burrito was big enough for two meals. We really enjoyed the salsas. I always think of avocado and tomatillo sauces of being extremely mild with no heat, but both of these had a small bite to them which was welcome and very good. And the avocado salsa actually tasted like avocado and not just like a creamy green sauce. It's definitely good enough for a return trip. And as the mark of good lunch spots everywhere, there was a table full of either construction workers or groundskeepers and a couple tables of older couples and families. It's with a return trip for sure. No alcohol or beer, but plenty of bottles of Mexican Coke and Jarritos.

This place was sooooo good. Our expectations were pretty high because the food looked amazing on the photos, and the actual food still exceeded our expectations! The area that it is located in is sketch af, we honestly almost left before we went inside, but we chose to give it a shot, and we are so glad we did. Absolutely amazing!

I'm upset at myself for traveling all the way to the city, when great authentic street tacos have been around the corner! This joint is next to a gas station, so it's easy to miss. I had an assortment of tacos on their taco Tuesday! Chicken, Pork Belly, Chorizo, Steak , and Pork to be exact. My total work tax came to a little over $8 for the 5. My favorites were... all of them ! If I had to choose a top taco it would be either the pork belly or steak. All the meats were seasoned and I could of ate it by itself lol. The hot sauce that was given with it was an added bonus that truly kicked up all the flavors. I'm really interested to try the rest of their menu! Especially since I know the meats with other dishes would be a automatic hit! The associates there were all kind and made sure I was taken care of. It seems to be a family business too which I love!

Fire. Nuff said. Ugh. Yelp wants 70 more words. So good. So so so good. This is really good Mexican food. Really really really good. If you are having trouble finding good Mexican food to eat stop looking and eat here

New owners as of couple weeks ago. Really bad food. Worse than fast food. Salsa tastes like they poured tomato sauce into a to-go container. My family couldn't eat it. Specifically the Cheese enchilada, birria, al pastor tacos, and quesidilla. No return policy. REALLY BAD FOOD.

My son and I always enjoy Mexican date nights together so we decided to try a new place. El Gallo is attached to a building that also houses a gas station and a little CBD shop, so it's nice and quaint, but those are often the best spots.I opted for two carne asada street tacos and he went for the chicken fajitas. The tacos had great flavor, but I did get a few pieces of chewy gristle. I love the avocado cream sauce and the fresh lime served with the tacos. My son really enjoyed his chicken fajitas and his beans were well-seasoned and very tasty. We are looking forward to coming back and trying some different next time!

Kansas City seems to have a thing about having amazing local restaurants located next to or attached to a gas station. This is another one. The restaurant is a wide open room. You place your order at the counter and then grab a table in the lobby. A sauce bar is along the wall if you're interested. Three tacos and a Mexican Coke costs about $8.Good food. Polite staff. I recommend if you're in the area.

Got the Birria tacos to go, and when I got back to my hotel the consume cups had exploded. I think due to how hot the consume was? Dunno, but it tastes good. Heat proof containers would be nice

Got a few items. All were great. Very flavorful. Loved the pitcher of margaritas having a bunch of flavor options too.
