Gallego's - Carne asada torta nowadays. - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Me and my family have been coming to gallegos for many years now, but lately the food from Gallegos hasn't been the best like it used to be. Me and my brother ordered California burritos like we always do and they always add too much sour cream now. Gallegos service is good the employees are always respectful and the environment is always clean. I really love going to gallegos but you guys need to start making the food like y'all use to! Hopefully this review encourages you to fix it cause it would really suck if me and my family stopped coming here. read more

BEST TACO SHOL IN SAN DIEGO HANDS DOwn I have been coming to this place since I was a kid very great people

the best cali burrito in san diego!! salsas always hit, their horchata is FIREEEEEEEE!!!!

Look as someone who has lived in city heights my entire life. Gallegos is a staple. A hole in the wall and completely unassuming. It was the first taco shop I've ever been to as a child and it continues to be a guilty pleasure. That being said, I'll be honest, like many others before me who speak on the quality. I can support the claim that it isn't what it used to be. But as a carne asada fries connoisseur I can without a doubt say that their carne asada fries are top 5 in the county. That's the only thing I'll ever get. read more

Came in and order a ceviche tostada and tacos. Food was at best mid def not what worth the money you pay for. Salsa same. The service wasn't the best either. read more

So embarrassing I was sick after for a week so disgusted don't recommend here and bad service to top it off . read more

came in to pick up my to go order for me and my coworker on my break. Never coming back tacos r cold, not enough meat for the price, and over priced me for extra sour cream. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time coming here there's to many near by taco shops to go to instead of this one they're super greedy and don't appreciate any customers read more

Best Mexican food I've tried in a while and the best people work here as well 10/10 would recommend

Instant bathroom run I asked for a Cali b not a grasa burrito . Smelled like rotten eggs too

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! I don't even know how they are still open. The food was cold it tasted like they only use a microwave. I didn't even bother eating it, what a waste. Don't waste your time and please take my word. read more

Ordered a supreme cali burrito and got food poisoning for 3 days me & my 3 yr old were really sick ! Never coming here again. Service was bad as well. read more

Workers have a bad attitude and charge a lot for extra cheese . I didn't mind since it seems to be a small business but when I got home my burrito had little to no meat and no extra cheese . They're greedy and don't appreciate customers. Never going back . read more

I ordered a California burrito from here & there was a little orangish looking hair in my burrito!! At first i thought it was from the shrimp but i didn't order any shrimp!!! NEVER EATING HE read more

Very good entrees here - I had the beef chimichanga, supreme California burrito, carnesada fries and surf & turf fries. Their hot sauces are awesome! I always ask for extras. I like the setting of the place as well; they have wooden tables and chairs. The parking lot is very tiny. read more

The food is tasty but the staff lack common sense! I bought aguachile but due to their bad packaging skills the juice got all over my bag. Once I got home from picking it up. You had one job smh! read more

came at 10:20 pm still took us in and served to eat and let us finish our food the surf and turf was bomb for my first time here

This is my favorite place for mini al pastor tacos! The pork is well marinated, cooked well so it's not dry but moist and tender. I usually ask for extra limes to squeeze over my tacos- perfection! The horchata is amazing as well. I always get one for myself and another one for my husband. It's unfortunate that their carne asada fries is half the portion of the usual size that every place usual has and their isn't anything special. Also I found it odd that the fries, carne asada, cheese is in one portion of the box, then one portion has guacamole/sour cream, and the last portion of the box has beans... read more

This place is more miss than hit. I gave this place a couple of chances before assuming the worst but every time I order from this place, something is wrong. The first time, I called in an order for pick up so I can be quick. I arrive, pay for my order, and the next customer orders the same thing and when the order is ready, she ends up giving the burrito to that same customer. The second time, I order a breakfast burrito with bacon and she charges me for the wrong item( which happens to be more) and the burrito was small. The last time and final straw that made me want to write this review, had to be the customer service. read more

My favorite breakfast burrito place. But prices are steep. Normally $7-8 at most shops but $12 here. Also wish the sizes were bigger since prices is so high. read more

When ever we come down from vegas to visit our fam in city heights we have to stop here, their burritos hands down best in the city, cant beat their caldo ether so good, Cashiers always so friendly and cooks always in a great mood. read more

I have to say these guys have a pretty good enchilada sauce, but it was the inside of the enchiladas that I thought needed some improvement. I ordered the combo which came with my choice two chicken enchildas, rice, refried beans, and a healthy serving of tortilla chips and house salsa. The meal was $7 and some change. It's funny, I liked everything about the enchiladas except the chicken inside. Some one argue that it's the most important part of an enchilada, but I would beg to differ and go with the sauce itself and how the corn tortillas preparation goes. They used the dark meat of the chicken which I did not mind in pollo asada and such, but it seemed out of place in these enchiladas. The meat had a dark color that was not appealing and was a bit on the greasy side. I would of preferred shredded all white chicken that had been stewing in a light sauce or something similar to a chicken tinga. It's sure s hard to replicate mother's enchiladas. Anyways, the corn tortillas were treated right. They were lightly fried, damped off, then bathed in a hot bubbling deep red enchilada sauce. This process gave the corn tortillas the right texture and the sauce had very nice traditional flavors. The sauce offered deep rich chili flavor and had a smooth consistency. I love it. Both the rice and beans were good and typical for such a meal. The tortilla chips were crispy and the house salsa was tasty and packed some heat. I really feel these enchiladas would be much better if they would focus on the chicken they put inside of it. Just a little TLC and we'll have a winner. read more

Best Mexican food , clean , friendly people my mom loved the seafood soup I loved the Birria And tacos de cabeza authentic read more

Don't bother. Poor customer service. Only cash. Expensive. They need to accept cards!

From the outside, it doesn't really seem like there would be a taco shop inside...I guess the inside is better than what you would think on the outside. There's quite a lot of seating here, there's a good menu at fair prices. The staff is nice and the food came out pretty quickly, but that depends on what you order and how many people are there. I only got a breakfast burrito, with beans, eggs, potatoes, cheese. They use fries, but seem more fresh cut that the oily type. For the price, it's a very large burrito, it can be hard to finish. If you dine-in, you also get chips and salsa. There are two types of salsa - a more green salsa with cilantro and onion, and a well blended dark red one. Both are pretty spicy. Overall, this is a good try for a filling meal. read more

I learned of this place from a SD local and it's so good. It's a hole in the wall spot. I highly recommend getting the supreme cali burrito. It's one of the best cali burritos i've had. They also have really good combo plates, i got the carne asada plate I learned of this place from a SD local. It's a hole in the wall spot but it's good. I highly recommend getting the supreme california burrito. It's one of the best cali burritos I've had. I've also tried their bean and cheese burrito and carne asada plate and both were good. The only thing I didn't like was their carne asada fries. It's not bad but it's not good and I also prefer thin cut fries on my carne asada fries so I'm a little bias. Oh, and if you dine in, you get free tortilla chips. Horchata and jamaicha was good too. read more

They over charged you if you pay with card ! And they charge you extra for anything. As well their food can be cold or hot you never know .

This place has the best California Burrito in my opinion! The fries are delicious and the burrito is just full of so much flavor. I really recommend this taco shop for a number of reason but, I personally like to go here if you are looking for some mini tacos, California burrito or a torta. read more
