This is one of my favorite spots to dine for Mexican Food. When I first came was craving fried rice. OMG they have some of the best fried rice ever. Friendly customers/Ambiance. Lastly, the best entire thing about this restaurant is the service (i.e. Javier), don't get me wrong all the servers are good, but Javier is in a class all by himself!!!! Always smiling and so friendly and courteous. When I come in on Tuesday's he always knows what I am there for (i.e. Margaritas) because really good price on Tuesday. He also remembers me by name and also knows what I traditionally order as well. He is absolutely the best!!!! Love him. Ask for him when you are dining in and I guarantee you, he will not disappoint.

I came to celebrate my birthday at Los Gallitos Mexican Cafe and honestly left happier than when I arrived--which says a lot! The BEST part? We came on a deal day for the 2/$5 margaritas, and when I tell you they were strong... they were STRONG *and* delicious. Definitely did not disappoint From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with amazing service. Our server was super accommodating, especially since our group ordered a little bit of everything--from quesadillas to fajitas. Everything came out great, and no complaints at all. I wish we had taken pictures, but we were too busy actually enjoying the moment and having a good time--which honestly says everything you need to know. Overall, the food, the service, and the vibe were all on point. We will definitely be back soon! read more

On Mother's Day I took my significant other out to Los Gallitos Mexican Cafe for breakfast because she wanted to go some place new. We had driven by this restaurant a couple of times with a sign out for breakfast and she looked this up on the web. It clearly states that breakfast starts at 8:00. The first week we showed up at 8:00 ( the week before Mother's Day) they told us they didn't open for breakfast until 9:00 A so we left but because of the furnishings she wanted to go back. At that time, no one was in the parking lot- not a good sign, and we did give them a hard time for not fixing the sign outside ( 10 minutes, paintbrush, paint to fix) and on the website. Because of her interest and trying to get to church for the 11:00 A service I took her at 9:00 A. Again, we were the only car in the huge parking lot an animus sign- no one else was here- what does that tell you. You could feel the tension build as we entered the building. The servers were still in set up mode, but found a place for us. They took our drink order, her coffee and me Diet Pepsi. my Diet Pepsi had no carbonation and did not taste well, but the server had disappeared into an empty restaurant. You could hear the echos in the kitchen as dishes were stacked. It was a good 10 minutes before the sever remembered us and when she showed up my significant other's coffee cup was emptied and I complained about the Diet Pepsi with no carbonation. She disappeared again for another couple of minutes and came back with a carbonated Diet Pepsi and coffee. Now my significant other takes her coffee with half and half and for the 2nd time she requested half and half. She came back with two and we ordered. Now we were 20 minutes into the ordeal. My order was the problem. I ordered two Charro beans instead of potatoes and refried beans, with a side order of tomatillo verde sauce and asked her whether that was going to be a problem. She answered no. Then the waiting started, another 15 minutes goes by and she serves my beautiful women her food and announces to me that the kitchen does not have Charro beans and serves me bacon and scrambled eggs. I asked for the green sauce again. Again, she explains again that the kitchen does not have Charro beans. Both of our drinks had been dry for a while and I asked her for refills. My beautiful parter asked for more half and half. More time goes by before the drinks were refilled. The half and half was brought but the green sauce forgotten. I remind her again. Guess the manager heard my frustration and stopped by our table. I downloaded my complaints. Told him the service sucked ( a technical term). And, told him that we would not be back. He then promised us a desert and comped my meal. When the server show up again at the end of the meal with the green sauce She said, 'this is on me" and the manager said ' we don't do breakfast well". Really? By the way there was no desert delivered. I paid what remain of the bill, no tip, and we left. I would rate us disgruntled. As we left after an hour and twenty minutes the parking lot was still without cars. Wonder why? Can you give negative stars? The opportunity to improve is just about everywhere! Gad, and she missed Church. She was not happy read more

Food, Service, Ambiance is the best here! First time coming here and we loved it! They greeted us at the entrance, they were really attentive of what we were ordering, we saw the manager go to each and every table to see if everything was alright if they needed something which it was nice for us that he was really attentive, our server was really nice and patient with us since we didn't ask a lot of questions from the menu. i order a mixed coctel with shrimp and octopus and it was delicious and my husband orderd a fajita tray which he said it was really good. We will be coming back! Keep up the great work! read more

Ambiance was nice! Clean and fancy for a restaurant!! The service was great too, our server was extremely friendly and quick to bring drinks and food. Chips were yum - green salsa and a warm mild red salsa , chips tasted fresh. We got fajitas and fried avocado (chicken). I can't speak to the fajitas but my husband said they were delicious. The fried avocado... the flavor was there but I wished it was hot and the chicken wasn't dry.. My plate was not piping hot at all / it seemed like it sat on the counter for 30 minutes before serving. There was barely anyone at the restaurant at 5PM on Sunday. fast service but food was ok. Really giving 3.5 stars as my food was cold and not the best - this is the only mexican restaurant that serves fried avocado since Gringos removed it off their menu and other local mexican restaurant closed. read more

Our server Pedro was great. Food tasted good especially the sopa that came with the beef stuffed avocado although the fajita taco was very salty. We had house rita, Mexican candy and Paloma. We were visiting from Austin. read more

The place looks nice and cool. Service was good my water was refilled almost immediately I had it refilled 6 times. Food was good and the complimentary chips and salsa is good the green sauce lacks a little seasoning but it's good. The only bad thing I can say is that the air vents have a lot of dust the air isn't the cleanest but the water is purified taste great! read more

Greeted and promptly set at a table. Friendly staff. Prompt drinks. Wide selection of cocktails. Nice environment, not loud at all which makes it nice to converse with friends. Food selection impressive- so many things to want to try- but be aware proportions are generous( which is pleasing). The food ingredients are fresh, flavored and served well. I was very pleased with the menu selections including veggies, chicken, beef, shrimp and salmon. Nice variety to suit all and great taste for reasonable price. Will return again! read more

The ambiance at Los Gallitos was grand style hacienda elegance with sparkling white walls and high ceilings. We immediately noticed a large cocktail area with an extraordinary bar and many tables for enjoying your guests and a welcoming beverage. We noted the staff exceedingly polite, gracious and in good humor. Our party was directed to a wonderful table near a very large window. Beautiful starched white linen made a formal table for our meal. The freshly prepared chips and sauces arrived very quickly. The very personable staff quickly offered menus. There were several pages with photographs to help us make our decisions. A great many dishes are available for a variety of appetites! Many traditional pleasures are offered. Adventurous plates were pictured and available for more exotic tastes. Prices seemed modest for these meals prepared in their kitchen. Our preferred plates were delivered quickly. Orders were plated in an attractive manner on generous blue and white pottery. Everything was served hot and very easy to enjoy with fresh, handmade tortillas! Delicious! Drinks were refreshed; we were visited frequently by the serving staff. More tortillas were made available, extra sauces, too. Of course, we ordered desserts with freshly made coffee. Some of us decided after dinner cocktails were necessary! Los Gallitos is an elegant hacienda where we had a fabulous meal while dressed in casual clothing, shorts and sporting shirts! There are several rooms available for private dining - rooms for small groups and large groups. Think formal events, maybe weddings, showers, or family reunions. Club meetings and corporate presentations would find the atmosphere to be comfortable, and inviting. Los Gallitos has an ability to offer service staff for specific events. Their accommodating staff seems well trained and experienced. These professionals are able to assist with your intention. Speak to a friendly manager to make reservation. read more

Bravo was an amazing waiter, very attentive and friendly! Service and food was a 10/10

Ordered a large takeout for about 15 people for the day after Thanksgiving. Ordered about a week in advance. It was FANTASTIC. Food was delicious, ready at the right time, and tasted like the usual special Gallitos experience. Shoutout to Miguel who walked us through the order process and was there when we picked up the order. read more

The food was not that great to me, the booth was tight and it was too dark . It was a very intimate but I was there alone and just wanted to try it since I always pass it. My server was as super nice and friendly. It's a nice restaurant but it's not for me. My score was mostly based off the server he was very nice. read more

Have eaten here several times. The food as always great and the service is excellent. I am very picky about my Mexican food having grown up on the border of Juarez. read more

Alex took great care of us! He didn't shy away from making recommendations and they were spot on! I had the soup and taco, my husband had the Tortuga Avocado with their signature Gallitos sauce. Delicious margaritas and micheladas! The restaurant was very clean. It felt very light and quiet enough for easy conversation. I will be back. read more

I was glad when a new restaurant opened in this space. The food has been really good during my few visits. The Romeo plate is my favorite. One server called it Romero plate so I'm not sure if it's spelled wrong on the menu or if there's a translation misstep. Either way, I love it. It's my go-to. I tried a deep fried avocado dish, once. I never had a deep fried avocado before and I love avocado so I gave it a try. While it was ok, I won't ever get one again. I guess I'm an avocado minimalist. Just a little salt and I'm good. I suspect it's a well cooked dish for those who like deep fried avocados. Their chips and salsa are really good, too. Their salsa is red and warm (temperature not spicy). Crispy, fresh chips and flavorful salsa. They have several fried fish/seafood dishes on the menu. I've never eaten fried fish from a Mexican restaurant but I might try it. The pictures look great. The people who work there are super nice and very accommodating. Everyone is smiling and friendly. The restaurant is big inside but they redid the decorations so it feels more warm than with previous restaurants. Surprisingly I haven't had a margarita there YET. I definitely will and my review will be updated with my thoughts on it. read more

Service was great but food was not. I was shocked to see their beef fajitas are $27 for one person. I am not sure when their prices went up. Their fajitas are just okay but not worth that price. We have been here a few times and another one of their locations as well. This time was probably our last. read more

I walked in at lunch an ordered what I recall as two orders of natchos with beef, two orders of charo beans and hot sause and chips. I paid $49 which I thought then was ridiculas but paid it. When I got home I realized I did not get any charo beans and I had beef quesadias not nachos. I tried calling the resturant but no answer. I called several times with no answaer. I called back the next day and on the same number I had used the day prior and talked to someone who argued why didn't I call the day before? We went in circles over this and my complaint. Honestly the quasadias were not special, I did not enjoy my high priced meal with no beans. I'll skip this place and stay with Gringo's a quarter mile away. read more

Great place with authentic Mexican food! The service was great and food was delicious. Definitely going back!

Came to this place the other night and it's a big place. I wouldn't recommend sitting in a booth they are very uncomfortable and tight. Not meant for plus sized people. The food is good and they serve plenty. The drinks are really great also. I'm picky when it comes to margaritas and I had a mango chamoy margarita and it was really good. I would for sure go here again. The service was ok they were just more so trying to turn tables as quickly as possible. Parking is plenty so no worries there. read more

As soon as we walked in, there was a very bad smell. The whole restaurant smelt like a bathroom. I don't know if it was the mop they used to clean or if something was wrong with the bathrooms but the smell was very bad. Luckily they sat us at the very back of the restaurant and the smell wasn't as bad. The food was decent but in my opinion a little overpriced. Our waiter was nice and came to our table several times to check on us. I honestly don't think we will ever go back. read more

I have reviewed this before and so I will do this again. Very good food, friendly waitstaff. I can only give this one 5 stars and 6 if I could. read more

Sat at the bar while we waited for our food to take home Wasn't too impressed with food when we ate at home. I'm guessing due to get lying cold. The flavor was hit or miss in some of the items Chips and salsa were good. Chips need salt Rice and beans didn't have much flavor as I would have loved The drinks and bar staff was very cool and drinks were mixed well. Next time I will be eating at the restaurant. The ambiance was beautiful and all I saw was the bar. When I'm in the mood for some more Mexican food I will be back . read more

Place looked good. However, never going back to that restaurant. My family and I never received any service and were completely ignored. Didn't even get offered chips and drinks. read more

Food is consistent and tasty. I think just a bit expensive but not really out of line with competition. Wife is esp in favor of the stuffed avocado I have not found elsewhere. Servers efficient and prompt. I was sorry to see them close the location at Fort Bend Toll Road and US 59, but the location on HWY 6 is near as good. Good caldo, good enchiladas, fresh tortillas. read more

First Friday of Lenten season had a great shrimp cocktail it was fresh, great quality shrimp and a great sauce Mexican style cocktail

All good, except you won't get tortillas with your queso flameado and you don't get refills when you run out of your drink. Other than that -100000/100. read more

Great menu, enchiladas are awesome, margaritas are amazing & service is outstanding! Had to return a few days later to try Happy Hour-best hidden secret!! Unbelievable HH menu & of course their margaritas are great price! Their new GM, Señor Sanchez is a great leader (he came from another restaurant, that we used to go to for 8 yrs!) You won't be disappointed! read more

We ordered the Parillada plate with fish, and all of it, except the carnitas, appeared old. My wife said that it appeared the plate wasn't made with love. I concurred. I see there are only nine reviews, so I'm guessing a few friends upped the average, but nothing about the food impressed me. Gringos it is! read more

Service was fine, honest. Food was below mediocre. Too expensive for quality. Straws are not long enough for drinks. Any extras cost EXTRA!! $1.85 for some extra pickled jalapeños. ​Owners don't seem to care. Will not return. Almost empty at 5pm on a Sunday. read more

The food is delicious, as WAS always at the FM1092 location. Homemade corn and flour tortillas, best carnitas just like restaurants used to prepare them! Tasty Margaritas on the rocks...Wednesday special 2x$5 and they're pretty darn good! Also great customer service! read more

We booked one of the private rooms for a family gathering and everything was fantastic. Diego was great from start to finish.

Definitely won't be coming back here again. Never saw a waitress the entire time I was here. We were seated and waited 25 minutes. I stood up and ordered two drinks at the bar and took them back to my seat. Finished the drinks and still never saw a waitress. This place must've been understaffed today. Oh well it's unfortunate but maybe Gringos will be better. Zero stars! read more

I had the shrimp nachos. Maybe not the best choice. They were very salty and I did not like them. Food presentation was great. The waiter we had was lousy. We had to wait and wait to get simple things like more chips and more tea. I was not impressed. read more

Great atmosphere, food was delicious and the server was very helpful with recommendations. I will definitely be coming back!

I was craving Mexican food and needed to choose between 2 or 3 restaurants and decided for this one. WRONG CHOICE!!! Terrible service and sloppy food. The margaritas poor water. Never again going back. read more

The 2 stars is for the food and drinks. They were delicious and wonderful. The service was awful. We went for my daughter's birthday. Had reservations for 15 people. Kids included. It took forever for drinks. And food. A very long time. The waiter was training (which I understand ) but HELP him. It was too much for someone in training. They added certain tickets together when they should not have. It was a total cluster (you know what) our reservations were for 7.15 and it's now 10.10. We spent t more time waiting for food and drinks and tickets than anything. They were not busy and the girls up front do not help at all. Will not go back any time soon. They need better management . Especially on a Saturday night. Not impressed at all. Will spend my money elsewhere. read more
