Tim and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. My strawberry daiquiri was precisely what I needed. The drink and food menus presented a diverse array of options, including margaritas, skinny margaritas, beer, specialty drinks, and cocktails. The food menu has a wider range of options and multiple combinations of different food. We started with chips, salsa, and cheese dip, followed by our entrées, which were served with great care .

It's not the…read morefanciest spot, and service on busy nights can be chaotic (you might need to flag down a server) but we see the hustle as part of its charm. The space has two levels and a patio. Parking in their small lot or on the street can be tricky, but it's worth the effort. We love their mix of authentic Mexican dishes and classic favorites. Portions are huge (expect leftovers), and the Fajitas Del Mar are fantastic. We highly recommend it!

The margaritas were spot-on, the guacamole was fresh and delicious, and the food was absolutely amazing! I made a smart choice by ordering just an empanada, knowing I'd be filling up on chips and guac -- and it turned out to be the perfect plan. You can tell the food is made with care and love; it really comes through in every bite. I especially appreciate all the pescatarian and vegetarian options -- something you definitely won't find at the restaurant across the street. Dining at El Patron is always a treat, and I look forward to every opportunity I get to eat there. I can't wait to go back and try even more of their incredible dishes!

They weren't very busy, but I definitely didn't have any of the issues noted in other reviews. Our table had several different cocktails, including the margarita "mocktail", and all were very good. We had the guacamole appetizer which was good but the portion was far too small to warrant a $14 price tag. Dinner was a variety - bacon-wrapped shrimp, halibut, ribeye tacos and octopus. Flavors were different than we are used to but the food was very good all around and everyone was happy with their choice. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience - we would go back in a heartbeat.

Pescatarian Verdict: #stlouispescatarianapproved…read more Tex Mex spot loading.... The restaurant describes its food as Central Mexican cuisine interpreted through a Midwestern lens, and its menu goes considerably beyond standard tacos and enchiladas. They make their own blue corn tortillas chips and they use house made salsas and sauces. You know the chips you eat too much of to start your Mexican meal? Well they serve theirs with three different sauces. And this is a particularly good one for a pescatarian because seafood isn't an afterthought. The restaurant has dishes such as branzino, scallops, octopus and other seafood preparations. The atmosphere is stylish enough for a business lunch or date. The napkins were this burlap material that I absolutely loved. A very solid Mexican spot near the plaza.

I've been here a few times with my office mates. They are all very into Mexican. Living in South…read moreFlorida influenced me to learn much more about Latin foods which are much more diverse than Mexican. I've had a very hard time finding much Latin diversity here so far but for Mexican this is quite good. I've mostly gotten combo platters because I like the variety. I believe every combo platter should come with rice and beans. I can tell how authentic a place is by the beans and salsa quite often. So far I've liked the combo platters and the taco salad that I tried. Again, if I remember correctly, I had to pay extra to get beans on my taco salad. That would be one complaint I have. Beans should be a staple and come with everything unless the person doesn't want them. The service has been good. No complaints and it's been busy when we've eaten there usually during lunch hours. The decor and ambiance is pretty typical Mexican. Nothing fancy. The one thing I will note is I didn't see any Mexicans working there. Maybe someone in the kitchen I can't see so that's usually not a great sign. I know they've been around a long time. I'd probably go a smidge lower to 3.5 if I could just because I'm rather picky about Mexican and Latin food but I don't think it's fair to go down to 3 so I'm rounding up. The prices seem a bit high but everything is so expensive in 2026! They are probably pretty average for eating out and I'm sure it's costing them more just like all the rest of us have seen food prices sky rocket over the past year. I would certainly recommend them for a lunch bite and a nice Mexican American experience.

It was a good midnight snack. I got the Barbacoa taco and shrimp taco. Both had tons of flavor, and two was plenty for dinner. The margaritas were excellent! Since you order at the counter, we didn't have a ton of experience with the staff, but everyone seemed friendly and the shop is well maintained We did eat inside, and there were definitely people outside, taking advantage of the patio

It gave an option for dining with a group of people or simply dining alone. We arrived around 1pm on a week day, so just after the lunch rush which was perfect. The food was made fresh, I've always wanted to try the barria taco but no one seems to offer anything but a beef option. And finally, I found a chicken one. It was Delish !! Now I couldn't dip in the au just because it was beef but I appreciate having the option. The Mexican rice was light and flavorful. The queso was good however it stiffened up pretty quickly, just in case you feel the anxiety of choosing between. Your appetizer and the main costs course. Over all, a great experience for a late afternoon lunch. Check out it when your craving tacos, I don't think you'll be disappointment.

The portion sizes are on the epic side, so come hungry and leave full, likely with leftovers. I have been to Los Alamos for brunch twice now. The service and food have been great both times. I recommend the bad ass burrito, which has three meats in it, if you are really hungry or want to share with someone. I was thoroughly stuffed after eating only half of it along with some chips, salsa, and queso. Prices are so reasonable, especially for the volume of food that you get. Parking is street-only but pretty easy to find, though you may have to walk a few short blocks. There could be a bit of a wait during peak hours on the weekend. Otherwise, walk on in, get yourself a table, and then head towards the back to order at the deli counter.

So far either me or friends have tried all regular tacos and the burrito. All have been flavorful and delicious. The location is on the outskirts of Crossroads downtown. Since the location is shared with a brewery, it has an industrial feel both outside and inside, but don't let that stop you. You order at the counter, take a number and the food is delivered to your table - you know the drill. They have some games and the atmosphere is pretty chill. The employees are kind and personable and hey beer made on site. What more could you ask for?

Best tacos I have ate in a very long time. I was going to the Truman around the corner and met up with my friend in Kamelot. Took him to lunch, almost missed my turn, but was totally worth it. I think I had the Barnacoa, asada and fish. And a CZECH beer that was awesome! Told the crew when we got to the Truman about the location and food . They also went and had a great experience.

I wish I would've had more time to look around the market because it looked like they had a lot of good stuff but I'll have to go back and see. They do have tables inside that you can eat at. The food was done at the quoted time and was accurate. The one individual I encountered was friendly. The menu was very straightforward-tacos, burritos, and a few other items, all can be customized. I had to get an order of chips and queso. I really liked their queso. It had good flavor and wasn't overly spicy. The chips were fresh and held up to the queso nicely. I'm definitely probably alway going to order this when I go. I also tried a taco with carne asada. The tacos are the street variety but they are really good sized. They don't skimp on the meat. And the carne asada was really good. No gristle or gross bits. It was chopped finely and I'd definitely order it again. I also had to try a burrito. I tried the El pastor for that and added on all the toppings-cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I also opted for extra meat because it was super cheap-like $1, so why not? Again, I was not disappointed. I did throw my burrito on the good 'ol George Foreman when I got home because they don't grill it at all and I wanted some grill marks on that tortilla. Otherwise, the el pastor was flavorful and tender and the toppings were all fresh. Per usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach so I saved half of my burrito, but it was a welcome leftover meal the following day. Definitely check them out if you're on the boulevard and want some tasty, Mexican grub.

A Hidden Gem in Kansas City!…read more We flew into Kansas City for a quick getaway and, of course, we had to find some good local food! After searching for tacos, we put the car in motion and headed to Tacos El Gallo on Southwest Blvd--and I'm so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by two beautiful, spirited Hispanic young ladies who were incredibly welcoming and took the time to explain the menu and help us decide what to try. We went with the chicken, steak, and birria tacos, along with corn elote. We paired everything with mango and hibiscus agua fresca, and let me just say... WHEW! Everything was fresh, but lacked seasoning! The birria tacos were definitely a standout, but honestly, we enjoyed everything we ordered. And the customer service made the experience even better. If you're visiting Kansas City and looking for some authentic, flavorful tacos with great hospitality, put Tacos El Gallo on your list!
