Los Gallos Mexican Taqueria

This is the best Mexican restaurant ever! I travel an hour fighting traffic every time to enjoy a meal here. And every time I'm glad I did! Their food is delicious and it's the same each time. The Enchipotladas are amazing and the sauce is unlike anything I've ever tried. It's so flavourful! Nachos are absolutely the Best! Everything here is worth the trip. Tho the place is small and not fancy, their food makes up for what's lacking. I've been going here for many years and it's consistently good every time!

Los Gallos has been our go to take out spot for tacos for the last three years. They have screwed up our orders on more than one occasion. Not once did they ever apologize or try to make it right. I could care less about Los Gallos after the first incident, but my husband kept wanting to go back. So, we did. I admire his patience because they always mess up his food, not mine. Once again, they screwed up my husband's order in the same exact way they had done before. He ordered tacos with tripa over the phone. When he arrived at the restaurant to pick up our food, he realized he was given tacos with chorizo instead of tacos with tripa.My husband informed the restaurant of their mistake. Once again, the restaurant did not acknowledge their mistake. They did not apologize. They told him he would have to wait 20 minutes if he wanted them to make tacos with tripa. They would not prioritize his order. What's infuriating is that they put the mistake on my husband. "Just say tripe next time," the staff member at the counter said to him. First of all, Los Gallos' own menu says "tripa". Also, "tripa" does not sound anything like "chorizo". If it's that difficult to differentiate the two words, maybe Los Gallos needs to set up online ordering instead. We will no longer be getting food from Los Gallos.

This place is awesome. Another Philly gem with delicious Mexican food. The space itself is nicely decorated (especially for the holidays) and spacious -- photos do not do it justice. The staff is great. The portions are large, and the food is very clearly high quality. The prices here are very affordable. We left feeling good about what we ate (and leaving with leftovers!) and how much we spent. Complementary Chips - Worth highlighting that these were great. Really liked that that they came with beans and a light cheese dusting as well. Chicken Quesadilla - No ordinary quesadilla -- the chicken in there was very well seasoned and grilled to perfection. The cheese inside was tasty and plentiful -- don't remember what kind it was exactly, but it was similar to a mozzarella. Overall, an excellent quesadilla. Usually I don't order these because they're on the smaller side and often served as a children's option, but this was huge. Al Pastor Tacos - Packed tacos with crispy pork! These were also really good. Not much else to highly -- lots of flavor and plenty fixings to leave you feeling full. Value: 5/5Quality: 5/5Quantity: 5/5Service: 5/5Atmosphere: 5/5

I lived in San Diego for a few years, so I consider myself a bit of a taco snob. These were so good! The Birria tacos were juicy and well seasoned. The Al pastor was also super good. The meat was generous!! I really appreciate that because I hate skimpy tacos. Definitely coming back when I need my taco fix!

I've been ordering takeout from here for a while and finally had the opportunity to dine in recently. Before placing our orders, we got a standard complimentary basket of tortilla chips and dips. The chips were so fresh and the beans and cheese toppings made them extra delicious! My husband and I shared the guacamole and as our entree, I had the bistec azteca and my husband had the carne asada platter. Everything was really good and looked exactly like the pictures on the menu. The steaks were chewy but well seasoned. I usually never go beyond tacos and enchiladas when I do takeout so it was nice to try something new. This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in Philly right now because the food is so consistent. I'm still partial to the lingua tacos and chicken enchiladas here (both the mole and verde).

*Takeout Review*Since this place was very close to my friend's house, He recommended I try this place, he ordered 2 dishes for us. While the portions are very generous for the price, the proteins cooked nicely and the sides are good too. However I find one of the dish a little too salty and oily, and the cheese on top was unnecessary. The food was OK at best. Maybe next time If I decide to visit again, I will try some of their tacos or burritos.The staff is very friendly and the Atmosphere is unique.

Super let down with the crappy burritos we got here this time. Awful. I have been here in the past and it was excellent. This time around it tasted like I was being pranked. Dry overcooked rice and chicken, and tons of salt on a stale tortilla. No veggies, horrible "cheese", with no flavor except salt. I was surprised I didn't get food poisoning. I made it through 3 bites and threw the rest in the trash. What happened to this place?? Never going here again.Go elsewhere.

Would need some more visits to get a better feel for the place, but first impressions this place has probably been some of the best Mexican food I've eaten so far - at least from perspective of someone who doesn't often head into the city proper areas.Pleasant, comfortable local spot with neat decorations.I'd have to say eating in is the better way to go, as I'd imagine the dishes we ordered wouldn't have been as good if ordered to go.Horchata was the one drink we got. For me at least the sweetness level was a bit above average but still tasty nonetheless. This $6 drink was huge, and can easily be shared among 2 people.I ordered the Alambre El Paisano, while my family member got the Ribeye Steak Con Camarones.They were $22 and $23 respectively, but the work that went into those dishes matched if not exceeded the price tags.Usually for me it's hard to find places that serve good shrimp as part of a dish, but the shrimp in the Alambre El Paisano were fantastic. They had peak flavor and a nice bite to them. Overall excellent execution.My family member also enjoyed their Ribeye Steak dish, which did include a cactus leaf. I've never eaten cactus before but it was pretty interesting to taste.Tortillas came out hot and fresh in a little basket covered by a unique cloth, which gives a nice home-y touch.Service was pretty standard, but the waitor was nice.I look forward to trying out other items in the menu.

Bought a pina colada from them at a Juneteenth festival in Philly and they lied about putting rum in a $17 pineapple. Then claimed they are charging $3 for half shots to add to it. Super disappointed.

One world: terrible! This must be authentic Mexican food because I saw nothing like this. I ordered a quesadilla, and the cheese in it was like plastic. It's like gum, but you can swallow it. No taste, nothing. You need to chew forever!!!Everything came to the table , extremely salty. Do not get me wrong, I am type of person out salt on every bite. I do not get bothered by salt, but this is something else. My husband ordered taco, he did not like it either.I read comments, so many people like this place. Something must be wrong with us, we literally the it! My husband is a trash can, normally he eats everyting. Just not today
