My family have been eating at this restaurant for more than 30 years under previous management and the food has always been superb at unbelievable prices. We were very disappointed to see them retire and sell. But guess what? The new owners have improved on what I thought was sheer perfection in Mexican food. This is the only restaurant that I know I will leave happy and stuffed. read more

I went during lunch time and haven't been here since the remodel and new management. The room was decorated nicely, and I was warmly greeted upon arrival. There was a table sign - first helping of chips and salsa are free...I ordered what I like a combo of chile rellano and a hard taco. This time I chose the ground beef taco. The meal was promptly delivered, and I enjoyed the crispy beef taco. On the plate the rice and beans were satisfying. I didn't think the chile relleno cheese texture was to my liking. There was plenty of cheese, different verities. It was the texture, somewhat hard that didn't suit me. It was a good lunch however, and this is one of the local spots that I like to visit. read more

Used to love this spot. But since the new owners took over a year or so ago, the prices have all gone up... and I consistently get incorrect take out orders. For example: paid for chili verde plate with added chips and salsa and guac. Received the chile verde.... With zero guac and a tiny tiny small chips and salsas . Simply pathetic and unacceptable. Fuck these new owners read more

Shredded beef tacos are so unbelievable, and the changes have been so amazing. Food not to be missed!

Had an impressively tasty dinner tonight at Los Gallos Mexican Restaurant!!! Gloria and Carlos were so hospitable. Kind, friendly and full of information. Well I kinda grilled them to get details. New owners - New Chefs - New Menu, and a large menu at that. BUT they'll make anything you ask. Even if not on the menu. They have a significant amount of seafood items now that they didn't before. And soups. Full bar. Beer is cold. Soda is carbonated. The food was fabulous! Salsa flavorful. But like another buzz member said, they have really hot salsa if you ask. And they also have green salsa. The portions are quite big too. Like the cheese enchilada plate you see here. Looks like two burritos! My crunchy taco shells are made fresh. Just really really good!! We will definitely go back! read more

Haven't been here for a year but they recently remodeled and expanded the menu. The food was great and everyone was super attentive and nice. They have multiple TVs around for games as well as a bar area now as well. Will be back! read more

*NEW AND IMPROVED* Los Gallos is under new ownership, and it's so much better than before! The food and service were stellar, and the prices were beyond reasonable! Kiss to the chef for the steak tampiquena and shredded beef tacos! The menu is so extensive that I'd need a scanner and a dropbox to upload, so there is definitely something for everyone. Cheap booze + good food = a win in my book. read more

Recently changed ownership and I believe there is a perception in the community that it either gone or no longer worth going to. I want to say that we know a lot of old regulars and we recently went with one of these regulars. The prices have gone up modestly but the food is excellent and the ambiance is a little brighter. Worth a trip to see for yourself. Service was very attentive as well. read more

We haven't been by in a bit and they have new owners now. New owners plus a new and far more extensive menu. I've been in twice in as many weeks for their burrito bowl. It is so filling and the carne asada is soooo good! The wait staff all seem to be the same and they're always really nice. The dining area is sparkling clean and the ladies room has a fresh coat of paint. We were given a little cup of their ranch dressing and that was great! Maybe next time I'll try a salad? read more

So I recently started a new position in this neighborhood and saw Los Gallos while going for a walk on my break. A few days later I decided that I was going to try it and I'm so happy that I didn't wait any longer. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. I had the birria tacos but this place has a menu that can satisfy any appetite of a large party given all of its options. The restaurant itself is super inviting, really clean, and the staff were extremely inviting. Do yourself a favor and ignore those foodie influencers who turn you on to mediocre food and come try the real deal at Los Gallos. I also heard that at the time of my visit that they were under new management but regardless of that fact, they're definitely doing Mexican food right. read more

Gloria is amazing. She's always so bright and ready to help whenever we need something. Not to mention she's a great Spanish teacher! The Food is incredible, most authentic Mexican food I've found here in SoCal. Without a doubt my all time favorite Mexican food spot by a long shot... no other place gets close. I've been to Mexico and this place makes me feel like I'm there. I'm a forever customer read more

Came here for dinner last night with my family based off of recent recommendations. They did not disappoint. Lorena was our server and she was amazing. Chips and salsa were delicious.

Prices are reasonable. 5/5, great service, delicious food and clean restaurant. Will be coming back. read more

I have eaten here many years ago, and it was OK, I was at the post office in the center today and it smelled so good, I asked at the post office and they said was delicious. I gave it a try, had the Thursday special of three taco with guacamole. I got chicken, was delicious!! The staff and owner were very nice. I definitely will go back. Thank you read more

I've been coming to Los Gallos for about 3 or so years. They are a few blocks from my workplace so the proximity is great. They are now under new ownership but thankfully at least for now, they have retained the same wait staff who are great. Since the new ownership took over the food has really gone up a few notches in quality. The salsa is better than before, everything seems to have been given an upgrade. The menu is now filled with wonderful options that were not present before. With the amount of really good mexican places around the area like Ranch Enchilada, Whole Enchilada, Esther's and several others, I now rank Los Gallos at the very top of that bunch. Well done. Keep up the great work and I'll keep coming back! read more

The more I go, the more I'm liking it. Went awhile back on a Monday and had the daily special of ceviche which was really fresh and a potato taco which was quite large, very tasty. Well today my son and I stopped by for a small snack. I don't think they do anything "small" jk. We shared a "regular" sized shrimp cocktail, side of guacamole and we both had a margarita. Left very full and beyond satisfied. Will definitely be going back, probably to try the gobernader tacos which our server highly recommended. read more

We recently hosted dinner for our entire family. All 14 of us aged 4 months to 77 years old. Parents, children and grand children. We were seated at a long table family style. Our server, Gloria, was attentive and very personable. We all ordered something different. Burritos, tostadas, steak fajitas, shrimp and enchiladas. Everyone enjoyed their selection. I had a large Margarita that was excellent. I would recommend it without any hesitation. We will dine there again soon. Gloria kept us not wanting for anything! read more

It's okayyy. Everything is super SPICY. Like for no reason. It's like they throw spice in all the dishes to give it "flavor" maybe? I don't know. I was not a fan of this place. Sure, yeah, it's cheap food. But it's really bland. For example, the Mexican rice had zero flavor without the hot sauce on it. The cheese enchiladas with green sauce had my throat burning. I traded enchilada plates with my boyfriend since he did the same thing, but with red sauce. And it wasn't spicy (thank goodness), but it was blah tasting. Just food. I felt like what I would imagine a cow tastes when they just graze on grass all the time. Like how exciting can it be to just eat grass? That was my level of excitement eating Los Gallos. The Chile relleno was like soggy and blah. Not enough cheese. It tasted like all egg. The chips were the only thing I genuinely liked. They were warm and greasy. But I'm not gonna go back to a place just for the chips lol read more

I was doing a job down the street and was craving a mojarra (Fried Fish). As soon as I walked in I was greeted and sat at the bar top. I was by myself and didn't need a table. They brought me chips and salsa and I ordered a beer. Once my food came I devoured it. This place is legit would definitely come back and recommend to anyone craving Mexican food. read more

We have been going here for years. Previous owner the food was good. New owner now and the food is fantastic. I have to say it's such a big improvement. The food is very fresh and very very good.

We have been going weekly since new owners came in. read more

Love the pan dulce!! So so good and aguas frescas are delicious. Came from TN to visit back home. Would come back when I visit again!

Los Gallos has been my favorite restaurant since 1991. The food has always been great. Since changing ownership the prices have increased slightly and the meals are even better. Service is fast and pleasant. Food is excellent. Quiet environment makes for an enjoyable meal and allows conversation. For me this restaurant still rings all the bells! read more

Hidden Gem! Very authentic, great staff! Full bar! Laidback. The prices are very affordable for a big family like mine.

My husband and I met up with his family members at Los gallos recently. Inside the restaurant, overall look decent. Susie was our waitress, she was good on checking on us about ordering food and see if everything okay. However, toward the end, nobody came to check on us as we're ready to pay. And, usually when customer asked for the take-home box, they will also bring plastic or paper bag to put the take-home box in. I had to go ask for one at the counter, also have to ask for my bill so I can pay our meal. Over All, the food were okay, customer service could be a bit better. read more
