Amazing food, great service, all tucked into an unassuming hole-in-the-wall. Their salsa bar is loaded with options, I highly recommend giving them all a try, there's something for everyone! I tried the strawberry horchata just for s's and g's and it was delicious. I also had the Birria tacos and was very happy with the taste and the amount of consume' served. I will definitely be back! read more

El Gallo Mexican Restaurant - Queso Birria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hudson Falls, New York

The food here is phenomenal. It's top quality authentic Mexican food that won't break the bank. We ordered first at the counter (queso birria tacos & 2 child plates with chicken quesadillas) & then took a seat with our drinks to wait for our food to be cooked. The child plates normally come with a side black beans or refried beans, but I knew my kiddos wouldn't eat them & the wonderfully accommodating lady at the counter offered rice instead. My birria tacos couldn't have been better. A fresh salsa bar was available as well but I managed perfectly fine with the birria juices & the salsa that came with my plate. It was pretty clean/ organized & a laid back atmosphere. read more

Ahhh finally a good traditional taco/burrito place within driving distance! I got a few meals for takeout, had the burrito for lunch and am saving the pozole for later. The California burrito is soo good! Way better than any of the national chains for sure. read more

I've been here twice in the past two weeks, and I'm blown away by the quality of the food and the value El Gallo offers. The decor is pleasant enough butt somewhat cafeteria like, but it's clean and spacious. The food is absolutely first rate, with wonderfully flavored rice and beans with most dishes, and everything I've tried from the tacos to the taco salad seem made from the freshest of ingredients and every item bursts with individual flavors. It's not all samey like some Mexican places can be. Your entree is a huge meal in itself, but you can also enhance it with a salsa bar that offers numerous salsas in various colors and heats, very fresh sour cream, sliced jalapenos and more. The taco salad I had was with steak, and it seemed like a full sized steak was sliced into the incredibly flavorful salad, which included fresh lettuce, avocado, pickled onions, diced tomatoes, black beans (my choice, you can also get refried), and it all comes in a huge, freshly prepared edible tortilla bowl. It is an absolute delight! Add a huge selection of authentic Mexican sodas and other beverages and a top notch staff that is responsive and friendly, and El Gallo is the only choice for fifty miles in any direction if you want amazing, authentic Mexican food in a nice setting with generous portions and the option, with the salsa bar, to customize your meal exactly how you want it. I can't wait to go back! read more

Love this place fresh clean great service and the food is delicious so glad your here

The first time I went I got menudo. It's a Mexican soup that I love. We ate in and had to pay before we ate. The server took our order at the table. The Jamaica is really good and can tell it's freshly made. It's a basic restaurant set up with the drink machine available for refills. Along with a small salsa bar. It's a very spacious place. The second time I went I got the carne asada plate. It was ok. Not up to standards for what the plate in my opinion usually looks like. The meat wasn't seasoned and the lettuce with the pico de gallo didn't go together. I will return to try other dishes. read more

We called in an order 25 minutes before closing and it was ready for pick up in 10 minutes! Food was delicious and the order was exactly right. read more

Vegan tacos were surprisingly very good. Enjoyed trying the 4 different salsas on offer, which I think were home made. Daughter's taco pastor was good. Wasn't a traditional spit, but the meat was juicy with bits of pineapple and pickled onions. read more

Fajita tacos were tasty. The chicken was small chunks and dry, otherwise good. Jeff had the burrito special. Apparently they ran out of shredded chicken so he had beef. Said it was good, but would have enjoyed it more if he'd been able to have chicken. We'd give this place another try in the future. Friendly service. read more

Meh food and meh service. I was looking forward to having a good quality meal, but definitely wouldn't recommend this place.

The fajita tacos are amazing!!! The hot sauce "bar" allowed me to create a custom mix of complex heat. There's a dispensary on the other side of the plaza mall so some heads came in baked and had the munchies! Juan & Co are doing a great job and parking here is much easier than their Taco Kings location in Glens Falls. read more

I'm going here instead of chipotle. More fresh and bigger quantity. & never busy so go fill up their lobby!

What a treasure this place is! The food was absolutely delicious, impeccably prepared, and so authentic! The server Marielle could not have been sweeter or more accommodating, and although the place isn't fancy, it's cozy and comfortable, CLEAN, and friendly. Try it! It's great!! read more

Excellent fast casual Mexican. Pork in the pozole soup was tender with a complex array of spices that scream home made cooking. Corn tortillas were freshly soft. read more
