If you are searching for authentic tacos in Rochester, look no further. I'm from Texas and this place satisfied a taco craving like no other. This place has very generous portions with tons of meat and two corn tortilla per individual taco. Also, I love the salsa! Service was fast. El Super Gallo is inside a grocery store so it's a tight space, but that makes this place even more authentic. read more

El Super Gallo 1 - Al Pastor - International Grocery Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Food was good! Small seating area!! My kids liked the food!! And the grocery store is a bonus

Another hidden gem in Rochester and Minnesota. Mexican Grocery El Gallo is about a 5-7 minute drive from the hospital area and is hole-in-a-wall restaurant located inside of a grocery store. The menu was very authentic looking despite not knowing ~75% of the items were. You are free to grab drinks or other food inside the grocery store too as you will pay all of it together at the counter in the end. I got the coconut aloe juice which was not too tasty but refreshing when complemented with the tacos. Ordered - Tacos: chicken, beef, lamb, tongue variety platter (5/5). This was so yummy. The portions were large for $8.99 and it came with a large green pepper and onions. In addition, I got some Mexican-packaged Flaming Hot Cheetos and Bonitas for my brother for the road. It was a little pricey but I'll consider it a souvenir from the store. Looking forward to returning next time to try other dishes and experience more of Mexican flavors! read more

We were looking for ingredients for a recipe and knew we'd have good luck here. We planned our arrival around lunch time in the hopes of getting a meal too. The store is full of grocery items and variety that can't be found easily elsewhere in Rochester (masarepa and Goya seasonings) as well as fresh pastries. We wanted to stay in the dining area but unfortunately no high chair for the kiddo. I got pastor sopes to go and my partner a chicken burrito. Everything was delicious and portions are generous. The menu is in Spanish and I would suggest looking beforehand or googling on the spot if you're not as familiar just to get a sense of the variety. We will be back! read more

Amazing fresh and authentic food! We can't wait to come back. The kids loved the grocery as well and grabbing snacks to eat with dinner.

Great food and service, place a little small since there is a grocery store in the place but other than that all good

Food is amazing. Service was fast and nice. The atmosphere was very nice and were good vibes.

Best tacos I've ever had. In addition to a few off the menu they made up some custom shrimp pineapple tacos. Amazing.

I've only had good experiences here! This is a grocery store, but it also houses a little restaurant! There are a lot of options on the menu from soups to quesadillas to tacos (and more). The tacos also have a variety of meat choices as well. Having come from southern California, where Mexican taco trucks run galore, I think the tacos here are pretty good. The portions are well-sized, and I like that I can get just get a set of tacos without additional sides. Would eat again! read more

El Super Gallo 1 - Quesadilla de carne asada - International Grocery Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Hole in the wall - can be found in the back corner of the market. Taco plates come with 4 tacos at $7.99 a plate. Great salsa! It's hard to please my salsa addiction but theirs was great. Their tortilla was also cooked to a crisp which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm glad I found this and will definitely be back when visiting Rochester. Staff speak barely any English, menu in Spanish but you can probably catch the drift and they'll understand English. Luckily, I learned Spanish for a whole decade. They told me that during COVID, they're only serving tacos but I did see others eating something else. Not sure if they just didn't want to explain it to me but still delicious! Also- the market sells mangonada if you're looking for a dessert afterwards~ read more

Best Mexican food in Rochester. Period. End of story. The attached grocery has great items, as well.

Authentic Mexican food! Really like the tacos, tortas, burritos, dobladas, caldo de res is soooo good just like homemade. The menudo is a hit or miss sometimes it's been a bit fatty and other times a bit tough. read more

El Super Gallo 1 - Precious - International Grocery Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

I love this place. They have great stuff made in house. I like their chorizo best for cooking. Don't be scared to ask a question at the deli counter. They usually have somebody working in the back if you have trouble speaking Spanish. There queso fresco is much better than the stuff at the regular grocery store. Lots of stuff to try. They also have all the ingredients you need to try that authentic recipe. Their pastries are also very good. Get a couple and try them! read more

cheap prices, made fresh and quick service.also helps they have a grocery attached. steak tacos are really good.

Went here for a quick bite to eat on a first date, wow ... I said chicken something and my date ordered me tacos. They were indeed authentic and not Americanized. Not your Taco Bell by any means. And the portion was not over the top. First place I've had that used white beans for the refried beans, yummy too. Definitely will keep this place in mind when I'm out and about. Not over the top on the sides, just enough to add to your taco and enjoy the meal. read more

From los angeles, so far best food that is comparable to Los Angeles cuisine. Husband says it tastes like your in Tijuana. Definetly good!

Decent variety of foods at decent prices. They serve lunch here, which I unfortunately did not try as I went after I had already ate. It smelled delicious though. I did pick up a Pastry from their pastry rack and it was delicious! read more

We have been shopping at their grocery for years. I won't buy avocado or Mexican crema anywhere else. Great meat department too. Now with the restaurant which is amazing this place is better than ever. read more

This is an awesome little market. The food served at the grill inside is great. If you are looking for Mexican food that is more authentic than the normal fare, this is the place to go. I usually get the Alambre, but there is often a soup brewing that changes, but has always been excellent. read more
