Especially since it was taco Tuesday and a lot places will skimp on quality. Customer service was good ,looked like a family run operation, which I can appreciate. Unfortunately in this area, they have some customers who arent the nicest, but they appeared to handle it well while I was there. Prices are pretty decent, comparable to what you would find in Southwest Detroit. Although, this looks like it is in the Gas Station, it actually has a separate door for the entrance as soon as you enter the gas station, and its decorated pretty nicely inside. I would visit again, and try more of the menu. But for now, the Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Birria and Carnitas meat are all tasty,

So do not dine in. Lets talk about the food. Chicken and tacos are great. Tacos are fully loaded for $3. Good size too, not the little ones from taco trucks. I know they smoke their chicken outside because you can see the smoke. Chicken is flavorful and marinated well. If white meat is too dry for you then you can dip it in the salsa. Sides like rice and beans are great too. Better than a lot of restaurants out there. Next time I just get it to go and eat at the park. It is too dirty to sit there with flies and mold.

As I drove up to Pollos Los Gallos I saw a column of smoking rising from the grills on the side of…read morethe building. I was a bit confused since this was my first time visiting and the building was completely bereft of any signage. But as the other reviews say, just follow your nose! I walked into to the grill area, where the cook, who was busy slathering chicken on the grill with a red sauce, directed me inside through the nondescript door on the front of the building. Ordering is really quick here. They take pre-packaged food out of a hot box, bag it up, and hand it to you. It was a little disappointing since I was expecting to get chicken fresh off the grill. Maybe during busier hours they continuously refill as customers file through? Unfortunately, I figured the earlier I went the fresher the chicken would be, but I guess I was wrong. The place was completely empty after all and I didn't see any other customer the entire time I was there. Whole Chicken Meal ($17) - Pollos Los Gallos isn't really a place you eat in so I got the bag to bring home with the delicious smell of smoked chicken and fresh corn tortillas filling the car as I drove. My first impression as I opened the box and looked at the chicken - woah, super nice char and coloring on each piece. The chicken was chopped up into smaller pieces, making things easier to eat but also increasing the number of small bones to pick through. As expected, that smoky char flavor mixed with the spice glaze on the exterior was phenomenal, but the interior even on the dark meat was dry. Again, I'm wondering if this was because it had been sitting in the hot box for a while. The meal comes with a choice of beans or rice. I got both for $1 extra. The beans were tender pinto charro beans with nice flavor and appropriately seasoned. The Mexican rice was as good as anywhere else in the area, light and fluffy and was only an extra dollar. Also included are some pickled jalapenos and red onions in a small cup. These added a good acidity from vinegar and lime juice and some spiciness from the jalapenos. Two small containers of decently spicy salsa are served on the side. I recommend moistening the chicken up by dousing it in the salsa. Finally, ten fresh hand made corn tortillas complete the meal. Put a bit of everything inside to make a delicious taco! Pollos Los Gallos is cash only, but the food is outstanding value for only $17. I'll have to revisit during the dinner rush and see if I can get fresher chicken next time.

Chunks of chorizo and bacon, Jalapeno's, tomato, cilantro and onion floating around. Amazing. Horrible part is they charge an extra $1.25 for them. Sigh. I knew when I saw the upcharge they had to be good, and they were. The building doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is Fantastic once you enter. High ceilings, industrial brick, old time photos, spider plants in large windows, wooden tables made from tree planks and large heavy sturdy wooden chairs. Shiny and varnished offer all the decorations you need. Large art pieces decorate the walls, with pendant lighting Now for The food. Presented well. Smelled great. Hand made tastiness!! Charro beans are amazing, the rice was good. The BIRRIA Is too tasty, savory and tender in a rich broth decorated with onions The pastor was charred beautifully with little charred onion bits of goodness. The tortillas are either handmade or super high quality, both the flour and corn were amazing. I ordered the Camino Real Special and it was decorated with Pico De Gallo, Guac, Radish, Lime and a charred Jalapeño. Only complaints are, Chip basket was small and only came with 1 salsa.

Taco was served with a lime wedge and 2 house sauces, topped with cilantro and onions Also, chips and house made salsa were brought to our table. The salsa was a slightly thicker/saucy consistency, on the spicy side, visible cilantro and onions, not like a pico just a nice, flavorful salsa. As for the house taco sauces i preferred the green which was a nice balance of creamy goodness and heat, and had a jalepeno flavor to it. the red sauce was spicy and more acidic, also good. The taco (campechano) had a nice spicy flavor and the al pastor was solid - hard to tell what/if fruit was used in the marinade. Service was friendly and the place was clean. If you are looking for fantastic tacos this is the place. The bonus is a great price. The place seats about 16 and is in the back of a small market - they also sell their meats to cook at home. if you are impressed by large fishbowl sized margaritas, wait staff that sings happy birthday, and a plate full brown covered in melted cheese, this may not be the place for you. if you are looking for tacos of excellence served by a friendly staff where you can also buy some spicy candies to take home, you will love this place. The friendly neighborhood atmosphere is five star.
