I wouldn't recommend this place under any circumstances read more

First of all to find such a great spot like this jalisco in the area is great to have especially if you are visiting and/or staying in the area like I was. I had a limited amount of time, in the morning, to get a breakfast and coffee in before my training just down the street. I came in to this jalisco and although it was not my first time (I had come through years prior when my sister lived in the area) I felt the same service and courtesy from the staff as soon as I walked in. This place is spacious and on the weekends I am sure it gets busy! When I was there on a Tuesday morning there were constant folks coming in to grab their to-go orders or popped in to meet up with other friends or coworkers before their shift. I ordered breakfast tacos as soon as I sat in a booth and was noticed by the waitress. I think from start to finish of my meal I was there less than 30 minutes and had already devoured my three tacos and three cups of coffee. The waitress kept coming back to refill my coffee and before I knew it I was super caffeinated which I appreciated. Parking was easy and I even noticed about 6 spots in the front that have the jalisco only parking painted on the parking lot which tells me they get a ton of folks that come through. read more

El Gallito de Jalisco - 3 enchiladas, rice , beans and taco with 2 flour tortillas!!!! under 14$ !!! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Love the food and prices and thefast and friendly service.Like going there for there Breakfast Tacos

I compare Mexican restaurants to Tommy's Mexican restaurant on Wurzbach; (who has consistently good food). 1. Clean, fast service on Sunday morning 11 a.m. restaurant half full. Wide variety of Mexican dishes to choose from. We got large menudo and omelet w/cheese and hame in it, papa's and refried beans w/ side of bacon. Menudo nice ratio meat to liquid, mild seasoning, not too greasy. Give it B+. Omelette papa's plate: large portions, potatoes cubed, not overcooked, beans excellent, cheese in omelette melts nice. Definitely no overseasoning done. Bacon cold and hard but good flavor. Give it B- compared to Tommy's omelette (that is Awesome). Overall pleasant meal, would recommend restaurant. Prices comparable to other rest read more

Broccoli in caldo de pollo and no corn? That was weird to us. We mentioned it to the server as well as advised her the chicken was beyond bland - no apology or sympathy. The chips and salsa we tasty though! My husband ordered carne guisada which was mediocre. The rice was delicious! read more

Very disappointed with my experience today! I went in and order two carne guisada w/ cheese. It was delicious but look at the taco what's missing??? It had two pieces of meat that's it not even enough to fill the tortilla and I paid $8.50 and left a tip for take out. Needless to say I was still hungry afterwards. Never again!!! This place has fallen off I use to wake up early on my way to work I loved this place read more

This place is pretty vintage, which caught me off guard at first! But, the food was good. I especially like their chips and salsa. The salsa looks a little different than I've seen at several Mexican restaurants, but was a great pairing with the chips. The women's restroom is a very tight fit and only had two stalls, so might be a pain when it is busy. Quick service and will be back to try breakfast. read more

Aimply the best when it comes to tacos and the plates. Salsa is amazing. Everyone raves about datapoint. If you havent been here - datapoint gets beat by this place in a landslide. Mini tacos are awesome and they hook up the meat. Breakfast tacos great. Taquitos great. Milenesa great. Soups great. You really cant beat this place. GO if you havent. Sooooooo good read more

**Run Away** The Salsas are watered down with no flavor. It's so bad that the red and green salsa tastes the same. We ordered breakfast. I always judge a Mexican joint by their "huevos rancheros" it's the basic breakfast plate that is hard to mess up. The eggs were under cooked. I love a runny yolk. But when the egg whites are still clear that's messed up. The potatoes were under cooked as well, almost raw. The bacon was burnt. Damn. This place has such nostalgia for me, have so many great memories and the look of this place is original as hell. I love it. But the food is horrible. The service is great and it's being run by the same people from years back, which was nice to see. They just need a real cook in the kitchen. Used to be good Tex-mex food a couple of years ago. I used to hit this up while at UTSA in '04. My wife's chorizo and eggs were left on the plate. The eggs were too dry. It's like we were served food from a week ago. If they fix the food this restaurant would be a hit! read more

The food is very flavorful and tasty. It's not too salty. You also get a healthy serving that is satisfying and filling. Service is a bit slow. The decor is eclectic but cozy. They have (what I assume) is regional music playing in the background. Affordable price. read more

I was excited to come in and eat since I hadn't had a chance to since before COVID. I remembered how good my breakfast tacos and chips and salsa were. Well cups and salsa are still really good but the food is trash. Seems like whoever they have in the back preparing the dishes are just in a rush to get them out. Let me explain. I ordered the migas plate which came w refried beans and your choice of flour/corn tortillas. My dish was steaming hot, potatoes were undercooked and overall lacked seasoning. My friend ordered the flautas which came w rice beans and a salad w sour cream. Flautas were under cooked (not crispy) rice was overheated and dry. Don't waste your time coming to this place, there are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in the area that are waaay better unless all you're ordering is chips and salsa. read more

The chicken caldo is tasteless and smells. I threw it away. I will never go back. It tasted like garbage water.

This truck/trailer is actually located at the corner of huebner and Vance Jackson but it's not showing correctly on Yelp. I pass by it almost every day b/c it's super close to my place but for whatever reason I never checked it out. Today I decided to come here for a quick bite on a whim and was not disappointed at all. After carefully studying the menu and reading the reviews, I decided to order the Mexican hotdog and regular pollo taco, $5 for both not bad. Please note they do have a $5 minimum requirement for using credit cards. Service was fast. It only took about 5 mins for me to get my food. Since I live close by, I took them home to eat. I have to say both the taco and Mexican hotdog were tasty. But my favorite is deff the Mexican hotdog! I had never had Mexican hotdogs before. I like hotdogs to begin with but those Mexican hotdog was intense. There was so much flavor going on with bacon bits, sour cream, onions, etc. Deff a winner!! I pretty much licked my hands and I wasn't ashamed of this not so lady like behavior. I can only image how good the food would taste at 3AM in the morning after a few drinks. And that's how late they open on weekdays. On Friday and Saturday nights, they open until 4AM! They are closed on Sundays. Maybe next time after drinking a few fruity beer at flying saucer, I'll come here to get a Mexican hotdog and a corn in a cup. Hmmm, sounds delicious! read more

El Gallito de Jalisco - Mexican hotdogs, yum! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Been by this place many times over the years but never stopped. Stopped by for a quick breakfast and got one of my go to dishes-- a torta. For me, flavor aside, a good taqueria has to have three things in the menu for me to consider it not a run of the mill place-- tortas, soups, and shrimp cocktails. So I had to get a torta as I am a nut for them. Every place has breakfast tacos and refried beans etc so I go for the less likely candidates. They get it right in a way that many places don't by grilling the bread inside and out so it gets a little crispy. Good beef and ingredients and very tasty for $6. The coffee was quite weak though. They had burritos and many other things in the menu. I would come here again. read more

I've been here three times now and everything I've gotten here has been really good. The steak in the steak fajita quesadilla is tender and seasoned very well. The charro beans are one of the best in town, especially if you don't like pork in your beans. The chips and salsa are both homemade. read more

The absolute BEST Salsa ever!! Love the breakfast tacos here, great service & waitresses even though my Spanish is not that good

Cuidado son pinches rateros aqui! Caution! These people are thieves! Went in during breakfast ordered 2 migas plates, now menu says $6.99 each, a coffee, and a lemonade. Went to pay thinking it should be about $14 for the food +$3 per drink, $20+tax, under $22 total, and she gave me an outrageous price of $24-25. I questioned her and she claimed to have asked if we wanted cheese, and we said yes it's $1 extra for cheese! 1. I don't remember her ever asking anything about cheese, or her saying for $1 extra + the menu pic shows it with cheese. 2. I call it a bs excuse because it rings up as $8.98 minus $1.00 for breakfast price, that's still $7.98!! That's probably the price regardless if it had cheese or not. The whole time I'm questioning her she's looking annoyed as if I'm being a cheapskate! I'm not a cheapskate, I just hate dishonesty. I was planning to leave a $5 tip, I always tip $2 per every $10plus a little extra, but since she wants to sucker me out of my money, I'll sucker her out of hers. Go ahead, follow your bosses thieving ways, but it's gonna cost you! I know most people probably don't even notice the up charge, but that doesn't make it right. It's the dishonesty that URKS me!! read more

Been coming here for over 10 years now and the food is always great 100% of the time. Everything on the menu is delicious, service is great and they are fast.

We get food here all the time, it's family owned. They have some people that answer the telephone who shouldn't. I spoke with manager Maria who is very sweet and resolved an issue I had. I'm so glad that there are businesses that honor the fact that they want to maintain good food and service and are willing to hear criticism and make everybody happy!! Thank you Maria! read more

Consistently the best food in town. Great refried beans (the backbone of good Mexican food) and great service. Salsa is fresh and hot and has a great flavor. I love their Jalisco Omlette and the pork chop plate. Plenty of food on every plate. Torillias are good too, especially the corn. This place never fails me. Check it out. read more

What do you do in San Antonio when your Vietnamese restaurant fails? Why you replace it with a Mexican restaurant of course. I wonder if the waitresses in the other restaurant spoke English because this one didn't. No matter, I dug down deep and conjured up enough Spanish to order our food and non English speaking staff is a good sign anyway. My hunch was correct. Migas covered in cheddar cheese with papas and beans. The migas were very good with plenty of corn tortilla, onion, peppers and a tangy cheddar that you could actually taste. Fried potatoes and refried beans with a nice bacon flavor. This is gonna be a good day. I think I'll have Pho for lunch. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant near where I live. The mini tacos are great, service is excellent, and rest of the food is not half bad either. I am always looking for a place that serves mini tacos like I get closer to the south, and El Gallito de Jalisco does pretty good, though further south, I get the beans and avocado without request, though El Gallito de Jalisco accommodates. One thing I'll note is for whatever reason, the food tastes better at their food truck. I cant put my finger on it, but the food truck they have off Vance Jackson and Huebner is great. The Mexican Hot Dog and the Burritos there are killer, but even the tacos just taste slightly better. The food at the restaurant is good too, and maybe it's an atmosphere thing because the best tacos I get on the border are served from a truck there, so maybe it's just me. Suffice to say, I'm glad both exist. read more

Nothing satisfies my tummy more than a order of pollo mini tacos + cup of corn at 3AM in the morning. I have never been a fan of mexican food mainly because I don't like the idea of bean and cheese together. El Gallito is my favorite mexican place to eat late at night, or any time actually. Before I discovered their amazing pollo tacos, I always ordered the mexican hot dog and it is so good, bacon bits... cheese... sour cream.. YUM. I love how juicy their pollo is paired with their home-made corn tortilla. The pollo has a spice kick to it and if you want to amp that up, spread of their green salsa with it. For the corn, I always add a little of their spicy powder and this other hot sauce w/ lime to it, I don't know what the name of the condiments but they make the corn spicy and limey! perfect balance with the mayo & cheese in it. read more

Beans. I come here for the beans. The other food is awesome, too. But those beans, man. I just love them. They also have middle-of-the-night- stands around town (one I know of at Huebner and Vance Jackson). I moved from the area so I'm a bit sad I won't be able to go there every weekend. Never disappointed! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect from El Gallito. The restaurant sits in a little shopping center adjacent to a bar and a pawn shop. This alone would make most people opt for something else. But I am not like most people. I love the thrill of not knowing whether a place will be the breakfast of my dreams or play the starring role of my next nightmare. The restaurant was empty, but had a lot of walk-in business happening throughout our time there. The decor was your usual Mexican flair except this owner must like Futbol because there was a lot of soccer related posters adorning the walls. Okay, here is the lowdown on the grub. Migas: cheesy, eggs a little overcooked, had a good flavor, not greasy and filling. Refried beans: very tasty, had pieces of whole bean in it, which gave them that homemade taste. They were not greasy and hearty. Very robust flavoring of bacon in them. Chorizo and egg: Chorizo had a very spicy flavor. The eggs were also slightly overcooked. But the chorizo was plentiful and had an intense aroma that just made the plate all the better. Fried Potatoes were your usual Mexican breakfast variety and nothing to write home about as were the tortillas. The salsa was too mild for my taste and had a slightly acidic flavor to it. This is just one restaurant on my quest of trying a new place every week, but I was pleasantly surprised about this place and I can see myself eating at El Gallito again. read more

I've been craving REAL Mexican food. I feel like most "Mexican" food in San Antonio is just boring bland Tex-Mex, but I'm so glad I finally decided to try El Gallito, everything is perfect and delicious. The beans are full of flavor, the rice is well done and well seasoned. The guacamole was creamy and complimented the food well. The quesadillas were cheesy and delightful, they hit the spot for my cravings. My roommate got the chicken flautas and was very impressed. I enjoyed the dining room aesthetic of the restaurant. Even the lemonade tasted perfect. The server was nice and attentive. We went around 6:00pm on a weeknight and it wasn't too busy, y'all are missing out! read more

I stopped by for breakfast tacos and I was really disappointed and to be honest, grossed out by the food. I had the greasiest bean and cheese taco, the grease was literally falling out whenever I'd pick up the taco. The papas rancheras taco was ok, a little bland not terrible. Besides being very greasy the bean and cheese tacos were a little cold, like they'd been sitting there for some time. I should've just gone to Bill Miller's next door, at least the food would've been edible. read more

For a Jalisco, they weren't bad at all. Good flour tortillas and good beef enchiladas verde. Good lunch prices, but watch out for the iced tea at a whopping $2.25. This is pretty high considering your entree only averages about $6.99! read more

First time at this very clean restaurant, staff friendly and good environment. Ordered the eggs rancheros which came w/beans, potato's and bacon. ( bacon usually is an extra) I was very happy bacon was included. The eggs were cooked perfectly the potatoes were nice and tender (Some places not always cooked fully) the beans were nice and smooth with a good flavor. The entire meal was very enjoyable, I will be back to try other dishes. Good job! read more

Ample portions, delicious sides! This place is all decorated up to resemble some town in Mexico, San Miguel de Allende?? I'm not sure. The beans are delicious. They're fresh, and full of manteca- not that great for you, but delicious. The potatoes are cooked to perfection, but they're a little light on the quantity. I've had more in the past, I think they were just running low. The service wasn't too hot, but I still got my food quickly. I was disappointed that there's a $5 minimum on credit card transactions, which is in violation of the credit card merchant agreement. I've reported them to get that changed. They sell palletas at the front- they even have the weird flavors, like pickle or pecan. I opted for horchata- so yum! The place is moderately clean. The booths are hard and uncomfortable and too close together. If you're gordo, you might wanna sit at the tables. read more

This place is pretty good. The menudo is very good as they put lots of stuff in it. Not just the juice. The breakfast tacos are small but again they are FULL of stuff. They are a really good price too. This place definitely doesn't gouge you on the prices for food, leaving room for a drink with your meal and you will still stay under $10. Not bad at all. I noticed on the page it states they are closed on SUNDAY. THEY ARE OPEN SUNDAYS... Just FYI. read more

Mini tacos for the win ! They have a great taco truck up the street on Huebner and when I found out they had a restaurant, I had to take my parents here! Their mini tacos are seriously soooo good and packed with tons of flavor , dressed with the most tastiest grilled onions, fresh onions, pico, limes and cilantro. Mom got a small cup of pozole garnished with limes and cilantro, she said the flavor of the pozole was delicious with good flavoring and soft tender meat and homony. Dad grabbed the Gordita plate with pastor, he enjoyed the red pastor, refrained beans and rice , he said everything was great and being this is our second time coming here I'm positive this will be our go to Mexican restaurant for sure ! Family days are the best when you have great service and even better food! Chips and homemade salsa on the house, salsa has a kick with fresh taste so don't skip out! Love this little spot honestly reminds me of something I would find in little ol Robstown! read more

Great place for cheap and good breakfast tacos. It's $1.50 for a breakfast taco, but if you get 3 of the same kind, it's cheaper. I like to get their potato & egg, chorizo & egg, or their sausage & egg. All come fresh out of the kitchen and are made to order which is how I like em. They definitely don't skimp you on the contents which is always nice! There have been times where our orders have been mixed up when ordering to go and we got bacon instead of sausage etc. The service is pretty quick, but there are days where it'll take a bit longer when they are busy which is understandable. If you're looking for cheap but good breakfast tacos, this is the place for you! read more
