Excellent quality and flavorful mexican food. We've been several times for to-go and the only thing we've had to complain of was once the tortillas tasted/felt a little old/stiff. Heat them up and they were good to go. We're coming here for quick Tex/Mex for the foreseeable. There's one place I've reviewed we'll go for highest quality, but it's more of a drive than coming here. read more

*** check your takeout orders - missed a burrito & two burritos incorrect *** El Gallo De Jalisco answered our takeout order phone call on June 22, 2025, fairly quickly. The guy told us $50.39 and ready in 20 minutes. We hopped in the truck and I tried to hustle through sluggish, heavy traffic on Highway 361, but we got there 45 minutes later. After all of that, two of our burritos were incorrect. One was missing. I just handed the bag to my brother who didn't check them. Can't blame him. He won't admit this, but I am pretty sure he was hungover. Lol. Service at the drive-thru window, while super slow, was nice. The guy at the window was understandable about the traffic. I ordered a plain black coffee while I was there. It was okay. They give you small cups of salsa, so you might need to ask for more. My chorizo and egg burrito ($4.75) was good and a nice portion. The rest of my family was a bit disappointed. Won't be back. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 3 | Service: 3 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 3 read more

Drive thru!!! That's a plus. We got the breakfast tacos and they're on point. Homemade tortillas and good size. Going back when we're in town. read more

Cute little restaurant with a statue of a huge rooster in the parking lot. Friendly service. The chips and salsa were good. I had the cheese enchiladas, and it comes with beans and rice. My husband had the carne asada, and it came with charro beans, guacamole, pico, and rice. We both had the homemade corn tortillas. Food was delicious. read more

Food has been good every time I've come here and the service is great, friendly and fast! Love the carne guisada!

I went back to eat my favorite #25 again last Saturday, I also go a beef a fajita plate to go for my wife and beef enchiladas for my son. I don't know if it was the weekend cook or what but, the food was not as good at all. The meat had no flavor and they failed to put what I ordered on my plate. The waitress had to go back to get my rice and Pico de gallo. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. So much so, I did not leave a tip. My wife said her food was the same, no flavor! I guess it's fair to say that this place is inconsistent at best. I think I'll go back one more time during the week and see if I can get that loving feeling again. If it's like it was Saturday, "flavorless", I'll never go back again! read more

We ordered 17 and 4. Mexican plate and flautas de pallo. We used the drive through and it was a bit slow. The food was amazing and we highly recommended you give them a try. read more

Huge portions see pictures below. All for 16.00 no drinks ..we needed water after our time at the beach. Didnt post pics of all tacos ordered but 5 total with the plate. Waitress was so kind and service was quick. Don t let the broken windows and lack of huevos Rancho on the menu scare you. Definitely a solid spot for a good large meal! read more

Any other of the Mexican places in the bluff is better than this trash. Whataburger has better tacos. The Homeless that live and sleep in the parking lot will look through your car while you eat and the manager won't care. read more

Just okay. I really can't say I have found a good Mexican place around here. This used to be my go to when craving Mexican food, but lately they are not as good. Twice they have sent me with the wrong food in drive thru. I've been overcharged several times, and the last time I went I didn't get silverware. Kind of hard to eat enchiladas with no silverware. They have also forgot my chips and salsa in drive thru. The lady that works there is really nice. Definitely is not my to go place anymore. read more

We had a group of 10, we showed up and the parking lot was empty. We were nervous that it would not be very good, but it was really good authentic Mexican food. Everyone in our group nearly cleared our plates. This place is definitely great! Worth a try and super cheap! $54 bucks for 5 grown people! The only thing was the service was a tad slow and we were the only ones in there a party of 10. read more

It was ok. The food wasn't impressive, especially when you claim to be an authentic Mexican restaurant. There was absolutely no music in the venue, completely dead air, made it very awkward and uncomfortably silent. read more

Ordered takeout and they still gave us chips and salsa! The food was the most authentic I've had around this areas plus the cheapest, a GO TO! read more

Look for the bug rooster out front. Food is very good, prices are good. Ambience is a typical tex-mex place for south Texas, but that normally means the food is amazing! read more

Pretty good value but given that my enchiladas we watery, I'm thinking they had been frozen. A shame because even so, they were quite good. The beef in the fajitas had an unpleasant taste, like it was marinated in lime juice and vinegar. The portions were generous. Given the price, not a regrettable experience. The service was friendly and very fast. read more

Very good hole in the wall, per se. I am a Mexican that doesn't like Mexican food but this place was yummy. I ordered the pork chop breakfast and everything was cooked on point, the pork chop was a bit over done but was still very edible. read more

Compared to the other places that serve breakfast tacos in the Bluff, El Gallo definitely has the best. Not overly greasy & fresh tortillas. Haven't tried anything but the tacos, but am looking forward to trying other things on the menu. Would recommend, especially if you live in the Bluff. Really convenient location with fast service. read more

My husband and I went here yesterday, We had a $10 off coupon I'd gotten from Groupon a while back so we thought we'd give it a try. It's not hard to find, just look for the huge rooster (gallo) out front. Going on just the appearance of the building and the empty parking lot, this is not a place we'd normally stop at. The place looks a bit run down, there is a cracked window up front etc. That being said, we have found what is now one of our favorite Tex-Mex places in Corpus. The inside is a bit small, there are a cluster of tables, a TV playing in the back ground etc. We took a seat and within 30 seconds we had a basket of chips and a bowl of hot sauce on the table. The chips are standard restaurant chips (not made in house) and the hot sauce was good. Medium-ish heat and flavorful. We ordered 2 unsweet teas and had them within another 30 seconds. The tea is VERY good. I ordered the cheese enchilada plate and my husband got the chicken fajita plate and we got a bowl of queso to share. The waitress came back with the queso immediately and we dug in. Good queso. Our food came very fast, I'd say less than 5 minutes and it was steaming hot. My enchiladas were good. Nothing extraordinary but solid Tex-Mex cheese enchiladas - good gravy and generous melted cheese. refried beans and rice. My husbands plate had rice, beans, grilled peppers and onions, a small guacamole salad and a huge pile of sliced white meat chicken. The chicken fajita meat was VERY good. Moist, flavorful...you could tell it was marinated and grilled well. The flour tortillas are SUPERB. Obviously homemade, huge and fluffy. If we weren't trying to eat low carb at home, I would have bought a dozen to go. SO good. Neither of us could finish our food and we are both big eaters. We had plenty of food left and we were STUFFED. Solid food, very fast and friendly service and the prices are great as well. All our food and drinks were $16 with the $10 coupon so, $26 for two huge Tex-Mex meals (both with leftovers for tomorrow), 2 huge teas and a bowl of queso. I honestly don't know why this place wasn't crowded with people. Is it the location? The kind of run down exterior? It's a mystery because the food and service are just really, really good. We will be returning again to try more goodies and I can't wait to get some breakfast tacos on those amazing flour tortillas. read more

It is a Mexican restaurant, part of a great chain here in CC. The prices are low, $3.99 for migas, fresh and tasty. My egg bacon burrito was huge with lots of good bacon, for $3.25. So we frequent any of the Jaslicos in town with confidence. read more

So apparently if you are not the same nationality as the two other groups of people that came and sat AFTER you, you will wait and wait and wait to be acknowledged. Only five tables of guests total in the restaurant. We were number 3 to arrive. Never were brought menus, never acknowledged. Left and will not be back ever! read more

Always messing up orders! Now I ordered a taco a certain way and they gave me something I literally can not eat..... Said I ordered it! Argued with me when I called. Saying I ordered it..... Um NO I WOULD NEVER ORDER THAT NOR HAVE I EVER IN MY LIFE!!! Hello! I literally can not eat the taco you gave me! I could not eat all day because of them! Couldn't even find a solution to the problem.... So I payed money for something that I CAN NOT EAT!!! And while I was on the phone they forgot that I was there and left me on hold for WAY TO LONG. I am a paying customer that has gone there for months. Now I WILL EVER GO BACK! Cause when you make a mistake you should take ownership of it! Smh read more

I'm from Corpus but I now live in Austin, where people think they know tacos. But they don't, because they don't know how to make a good tortilla. I miss fresh, fluffy flour tortillas like the ones you can get here. read more

Currently my favorite taqueria. Fast drive-thru service but still very good quality. Prices are surprisingly low. Whatever they use to marinate their meats is absolutely delicious. Never had a bad experience and I go there at least once a week. read more

With an overwhelming abundance of Tex-Mex restaurants in Flour Bluff, this restaurant stands out for good, fresh food. The ambiance is not wonderful, but the food hits the spot...not overtly greasy like most Mexican food. Family owned and operated, everyone is really nice. It's not gourmet, but it is tasty! read more

Having lived in south Texas for the first 50 years of my life but in Michigan the last 15, I was really looking forward to eating some good Mexican food. This place did not disappoint. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Would highly recommend. read more

I was with my Midwestern parents on a vacation weekend on North Padre Island, and I wanted them to experience a true taqueria. This place was perfect! We had large Mexican breakfast meals, and the food was delicious. I had the migas and they were delicious. Highly recommend them! My dad's breakfast burrito was huge and very inexpensive (around $3.50ish). Overall, it was a good stop and I was full and happy for hours. read more

Very good Mexican food, the ingredients always seem to be fresh. I usually have breakfast here every morning before work and haven't had a bad taco yet. For lunch the enchiladas are really good, and the carne guisada is melt in your mouth good. Highly recommend for great food with very reasonable prices. read more

I always order the Mexican taquitos and they are always good! The tacos and green salsa is awesome. I have also had the breakfast egg plate and it is so yummy! Everything I've had from here is really good. This is better than all the other Mexican huts. read more

Great food in a dive atmosphere! The first time I went I ordered enchiladas. My daughter ordered 3 soft tacos. The enchiladas were nearly as good as those at Poco and Moms in Tucson. The individual tacos are huge, to the point that my daughter only ate one. New time there I had the tacos. You get to choose the meat, shell, and some of the ingredients. I ordered 3. They are wonderful. Next time I will get jus 2. read more

The food was great and the service was too. The only knock on this place is that they have only bathroom. I would visit this place again.

The service sucked the waitress was bad talking all there shit because they got the order wrong and we corrected them we will never come here again and I suggest you never come as well read more
