Tacos El Gallo

The tacos were delicious that I wish I can eat those every day and my taste buds wouldn't be tired. However, the tamale was not very soft to eat but otherwise the flavor was good. The salsa and topping options were great including the option of pico de Gallo. On the bright side, the service was relatively fast since I only had to wait a couple of minutes to get the food after ordering at the counter.

A hidden neighborhood favorite!I got the Birria Pizza which was excellent and so unique. It serves 2-3 easily and was superflavorful. I loved that it came with a side of the soup for dipping just like classic Birria tacos would. We also tried the fried elote and I was really impressed with how tender the corn was! Not greasy at all. And of course we had to get a Mexican Coke!The staff were super friendly and welcoming. It's an order at the counter and then seat yourself system. There's only 5 tables inside, but the patio is fairly large considering the location. We took ours to go though since it's just a couple streets from my place.

The birria tacos were so good!! I really loved the flavor all around: the tortilla, the meat, the consome, the salsa diabla. The salsa is quite spicy but perfectly so to me. The order comes with a good amount of tacos (four) as they are on the smaller side but I don't think they could have been better.

I'm a big fan of the original location on Southwest Boulevard, so I was excited to see the restaurant place it's second home in this Mission neighborhood.I'm a bit basic and mostly go with breakfast or tacos.It's not fancy, but it's a good solid meal served in filling portions.Some salsa from the condiment bar adds a little kick.The inside is small and can get cramped in a rush.

Tacos El Gallo has something to crow about - they have opened their 2nd location and first on the Kansas side. The gritty urban feel of their original is replaced with a sleek suburban stripmall feel - just the way Johnson County city planners insist. The ambiance may not be authentic, but the menu and recipes remain "muy autentico". My recent Saturday afternoon visit left me satiated with my trinity of barbacoa, asada, and pastor tacos topped with some pickled onions, spicy green sauce, and pico from the plentiful salsa table. For a few perfect moments I even forgot that I was in JOCO! Great stuff, great pricing. I also took home a 1/2 dozen tamales for my wife. She stated they were delicious, but I wouldn't know for sure since she ate all 6 within 2 days and refused to share.

The owner of this place is smart. She's managed to nestle not just one but two taco shops in locations where their arrival is greeted with joy and gratitude. That's impressive once, but twice? Savvy. We have settled on their carne asada burrito spread as our go-to to-go. Drenched in cheese sauce, but not fried like a chimichanga, because we keep it healthy (obviously).The team is nice, the outdoor seating is perfect for spring and fall, it hits lots of great notes for a small but mighty neighborhood institution. The one thing I would change would be the door handle. Having a push bar when you need to pull it open is confusing and we all together must demand better for society. Unless this is that seemingly nice woman behind the counter playing an elaborate prank on the rest of us, in which case, fair play you devilish genius.

I liked the first-rate service, the fairly reasonable prices and the good salsa heat options during my dine-in lunch at this new restaurant.The El Mexican plate ($9.99) was ready just five minutes after I ordered at the counter. It included three fresh, warm, double layer, 4.5" street tacos with generous amounts of my choice of nine protein options (shrimp and fish dishes are also available separately), along with rice, refried beans and access to a pretty good toppings bar with sour cream and several toppings and salsas of various heat levels from mild to salsa diabla.They did not offer complimentary chips & salsa.I found the staff to be cheerful, polite and professional, while the dining area was clean and basic. I also noticed the staff's focus on cleanliness during my visit - nice!The menu included breakfast, meals for the kiddos, aguas frescas, a soda dispenser, margaritas and various bottled beers.They also offered a patio area with music.Very nice!

Don't let the end of a strip mall and 4 indoor booths scare you! Outdoor seating is available and A LOT of traffic was to go orders. Food was fresh...street tacos were full...ordered asada carnitas and pastor...very good...wish barbacoa was an option...cold salsa bar was awesome!!!! Bought a bag of homemade tortilla chips to take home! Would definitely recommend

We have fond memories of this place as Lalo's and miss him (and his food) dearly but I so welcome the newest addition to our neighborhood. The burritos Al pastor was smothered in cheese! It was so tasty. The portion was huge. I ended up splitting with my husband and we gobbled it all up. My son had the quesadilla and raved about the beans! He smeared the beans on top of the quesadilla and ate it that way. He also ate the entire cup of beans and rice. Good stuff. We also ordered frozen tamales for the next morning. They were sooooo tasty. Here's a tip-- If you don't want to steam, just wrap it with a damp paper towel and pop it in the microwave. It still comes out moist and not at all dry. Delicious. The sauce bar is excellent. I tried all the sauces and also saved some for the next day. I actually just mixed it altogether on whatever I was eating haha tasted good to me! My husband ordered the food there and said it was very busy!! They made the food quick and by the time he came home, it was still hot. It's also a small spot so if you're looking to sit down, I would recommend going either before 6 or after 7:30. There's also a breakfast menu that I'm really excited to try. I'll be back, for sure.

Very disappointed in the tacos, I order 7 different tacos to try. Asada, pastor and carnitas. Asada had absolutely no flavor.Pastor had 3/10 flavor.Carnitas had about 4/10 flavor.Very small tacos with barely any meat in them. Half a lime for all the tacos. Tacos and fountain drink came out to $23. Overpriced for what I got. Definitely won't be be back here for lunch. I Hope they fix their prices or cook the food better. I do not recommend tacos from here. They need to do better, giving tacos a bad name . Coming from a Mexican this was not it
