Amazing food, I ordered only a few things to go, didn't get anything fancy, didn't need too! The classics were spot on and didn't disappoint. Also I don't speak a lot of Spanish and even with a little English everyone was so kind. Just visiting for two days but I've spent both lunches ordering from here. Wish I could have stayed instead of to-go because the whole place is so cute, the decorations are stunning and classic Mexico themed. (I do order extra cheese on everything)

Free chips and salsa- chips are ok, salsa is good and spicy.I ordered a chicken tostada. I enjoyed it! Shredded juicy chicken and had topping of beans, lettuce, and I ordered guac and sour cream as extras.I liked the food, the vibe, and enjoyed the Mexican decor.

Tacos are tacos but this place was eh...My husband and I have always drove by this place and wanted to to stop and check it out. Kinda wish we didn't.I ordered an horchata thinking it was going to be home made, but it was that powder klass stuff instead that was so disappointing. They also gave us free chips and salsa. The chips were your average chips, but the salsa... was so good and spicy... I got four tacos with three different meats, two chicken, carnitas, and pastor and none of them really shouted muy bien! They were all right nothing special but not terrible either.My husband ordered the super burrito but wanted chorizo which they served but refused to put in a burrito (confused) so he asked for Chile Colorado burrito but not available so he asked for Chile verde burrito finally yes they had it but decided to give it to him in a plate not what he asked for but charged us for it. The Chile verde was eh also nothing special but not terrible although the beans and rice were bland and not very good.We went during the day so it wasn't busy at all food came really quick usually not a good sign, all in all this place didn't really hit especially when we can cook better than what we were served we won't be coming back again.The restaurant itself was cute lots of Mexican decorations and seamed authentic. To bad the food didn't reflect that.

The servings are generous and prices are very reasonable considering how expensive things are these days. However, I must say I was not impressed with the flavor as it felt a bit bland. Service was excellent

The menu is pretty big and has a ton of options. Unfortunately, all of our food was just okay. Nothing had a real kick to it or elevated flavors. I felt that a traditional and authentic Mexican restaurant should serve dishes with tons of flavors that are rich and delicious. We ordered big burritos; one was veggie, and one was with chicken. However, neither hit the spot.

I was attracted by the exterior Mexican ambience along with its presumed food. To which I was immensely disappointed once I received my reheated wet burrito. I decided to bring two businessmen with hopes of finalizing pertinent paperwork as we'd ate. Due to our paletes being disservice'd by Gallego's cuisine, the business acquisitions fell through. To anyone reading this, do not visit Gallego's unless you're in a rush for reheated food. It took the hostess five to ten minutes to reheat via microwave and serve us two burritos and an order of three tacos.

Service is quick and the food is wonderfully made. I love their cheese enchiladas with verde sauce.

Much better mexican places in berkeley with better prices and quality. Don't waste your money here!! The only difference on a super quesadilla vs plain for several dollars is two tablespoons of lettuce a teaspoon of diced tomatoes and 1/16 teaspoon blob of sour cream.Do not waste your money.

Bad service, mediocre food. I don't understand why people like them they are just a neighborhood joint. I'd go to the Mexican market on Channing a few blocks away. Very unfriendly and I have tried them more than once. I'm from Southern California and grew up on Mexican food and I make it. This place did not work for me. YMMV.
