The staff were nice and the food was made quickly…read more I ordered: Steak/asada burrito: steak (asada), onion (cebolla), avocado (aguacate), sour cream (crema) cheese (queso), pinto beans (frijoles pintos), lettuce (lechuga), and tomato (tomate) - I asked for it without beans and light onion. - They made it exactly as I ordered. - The ingredients were fresh. - Unfortunately, the steak had very little flavor. I added lime (limon), but I didn't like their salsas. Overall, it was okay 3/5. My boyfriend ordered: 3 tacos - chicken (pollo), steak (asada), and Al pastor: Onion (cebolla) and cilantro - He said they were okay, but not very flavorful either. - Of the three, he liked the chicken the most. - He also wasn't a fan of the salsa. Chips & salsa: They give you a good size brown paper bag filled with chips and a nice size salsa. - I was not a fan of the salsa, but I like the chips; you can tell they make them fresh in house. - My boyfriend was not a fan of either the salsa or the chips. He said they were thick and greasy. - I agree they are thick and they do have grease, but that's because they are freshly fried corn tortillas, which I think that's a good thing.

Checked out this pretty small Mexican restaurant in Crestwood. El Gallo Tapatio is one of those…read moreplaces you expect to be some bare bones family owned place, and yes it actually is. It has a pretty simple menu of a few items or so. At least it makes it easier to choose anything. The prices are okay and the food is better than it looks. Bad thing is there's no alcohol. It's not a place for margaritas, but rather Jarritos. That's why they have to make good on the food, so you can at least get something. For meat eaters the menu is mostly for them with things like beef and chicken. There's also crazier things like tongue. It's about $8 for guacamole. Pretty much the only vegetarian thing on the menu it seems. Had a chunkiness with a light spiciness to it. The tortilla chips were crispy and simple without being burnt like at many places. For sure it's one of the many places to get Mexican food. It's located on Cicero Avenue at 137th Street. They're open until late at night so you can go when getting the munchies or something.

The service was nice, we sat at the bar -- it was packed out through the entire place but the bar had seating so we took that, to also guarantee swift service . I enjoyed everything about the place, the food, the service, the music, and even the atmosphere was cool. I tried their birriria* tacos and loveddddd them because the broth was flavorful just like the meat! The margaritas were also really good, and so big we had to take them to go (which they allow!). Absolutely will be back soon!

The place has a welcoming, casual atmosphere. There is choice of seating: booth, table, or bar side. It's clean and well attended. The wait staff was nice. The chef even came to clarify some things on my order (how I wanted my egg) and checked on me afterwards with future suggestions. I'll be back. I seated myself in a booth. Fresh made chips and salsa choices were brought to the table with napkins and utensils. Rhodes chips were just right. They were made from good tortillas, crisp fried in clean oil. I could have just had that for breakfast. I needed proteins, so I chose the Chilaquiles con Huevo in green salsa. I was told the red was not spicy but can be adjusted to my liking. My eggs (2) were over easy (well executed), served over cheesy corn fried tortilla strips with sour cream, tomatoes, refried beans, rice and guacamole. I make it through half the dish. The rest was taken home and eaten the next day. Just as tasty. I have more s dishes to try and a Summer month to do it.

Welcoming and accommodating staff from the time you walk in until the time you walk out satisfied. Even though they're working in a small space, you won't feel like it because they don't rush you and everyone has been so patient to answer questions about dishes on the menu. This menu has the most unique tres leches cake slices because they have more than one flavor but they often sell out! :-) So get there early if you want to try their pistachio tres leches cake or their café (coffee) flavor, they're both very good! Their homemade drinks like their cold horchata and cold Jamaica are worth the trip too

My dad got the barbocoa burrito and I got the Mar y Tierra-skirt steak and shrimp wrapped in bacon. It's funny bc I ordered well done steak and it looked burnt but it wasn't! It was really tasty as was the shrimp. A little too much salt and they forgot my tortillas. The guacamole and salsa were really really good as were the chips.

Hubby ordered the combo fajitas and a strawberry margarita. I ordered the steak enchiladas rojas and a pina colada. Everything was seasoned well and we enjoyed our meals.
