We are not locals in Reno and decided to try a restaurant outside of a casino and found Los Gallos. We are so glad we did. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The carnitas had Flavor and were moist. The cheese enchilada plate was huge and delicious. . Chips and salsa came with our order. We also tried the horchata, the large was $4.00 and good. You can eat there on a budget or splurge and get a large plate. I would recommend the restaurant to others and found it suitable for kids. read more

After a really fun day of day drinking,I found myself looking for something yummy to eat and maybe sober me up a bit-I stumbled upon this little unassuming place located right across the street from Silver Legacy-Los Gallos Taqueria. Upon walking in,I was impressed with the patrons,this was a no frills crowd who looked like they were all in on a secret that this place was going to be a really good foodie spot.This is one of those spots where u walk up and order at the counter and they bring your food out to you.I loved the decor as you can really tell the owners are proud of their Jalisco roots.As an added bonus-I do tend to like taquerias that have pics of the menu items on the walls-always been a good luck charm for me that the place would be pretty good. We ordered a few things-A Super Burrito with Al Pastor($13.50)-it was pretty tasty-way way filling-killed my buzz totally-which I guess was the goal-I'd order it again for sure.We Also got a Shrimp taco($5)My wife is from Jalisco,so kinda picky with her Mexican food but she thought it was pretty tasty-one of the most flavorful tacos she has had in a long time.We also got the 2 enchilada plate with ground beef and chicken($15.50)-This dish came with rice and bean-I really liked the rice quite a bit and beans went well with the chips because of the added cheese on the beans.One thing I didn't love was the fact that you had to pay for chips and salsa-I'm sure I'm just spoiled from all the places that gives those out for free but I guess that's the way it goes-pretty sure it was like $3-no biggie. In closing-if u ever find yourself in Reno and u want something other than the commercial stuff they sell in the casinos-I would highly recommend walking across the street from Silver Legacy and walk into this little hole in the wall hidden gem of a restaurant and enjoy yourself a taste of Jalisco -you won't be disappointed. read more

Hands down my favorite taqueria ever!!!! Omg ! So I'm from the bay , SF 4 me n San Jo 4 my man . We were looking for Mexican food on our handy dandy Yelp and came across this place which is right across the street from where we're staying. We went over there with not high expectations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was packed with locals, so that sounded promising.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered based on the yelp reviews a pastor super burrito wet with green sauce and a super burrito wet with red sauce. Both were incredible. So damn delicious. It was so good I'm coming back tomorrow to take burritos home on the way home. Absolutely delicious the sauce was fire the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. One of the best burritos we ever had and we're coming from the bay so you know that shit serious. This is going to be our must stop whenever ever in Reno. They didn't give us chips that's an extra charge, however they did give us a couple sauces for our burrito. Yum Yum read more

Seen a review on yelp and thought we would try it. Walking distance from El Dorado right next to Circus Circus. I Cannot recommend this place enough - service was quick and friendly. Staff cleaned tables as soon as customers left. --But the food, was so good. I got the chimichanga with grilled chicken. It comes with rice and beans in it. I'm not a big rice and big fan-But this was so good!! Don't let the price scare you away. It was worth every bit of it. And it was huge!! I took 3/4 of it back to eat later my husband got the green wet burrito and he said it was very good. He had half of it to take back home. I'm really contemplating trying to go there again before we leave from our trip. Highly recommend. You won't regret it! read more

This place was so unassuming and incredibly good. A solid, authentic Mexican restaurant with the best tacos I've had in a while. The free chips and salsa were fresh and still warm, the salsas really flavorful as well. My favorite was the pico de gallo. The tacos were also really fresh and warm when we got them. Service was so quick, we really only waited less than 5 mins for all our food to come. And they cleaned up our table right when we were done. Amazing place. Can't beat the $4 large horchata either. This place is just across the street from silver legacy and circus circus. Give it a try if you're craving Mexican food after a long day of skiing or snowboarding. I promise you won't regret it. read more

Let's be honest. When I'm looking for an out of town Mexican spot, I look for 2 things: A little bit of dinginess and lots of actual Mexicans eating there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Los Gallos covered those two needs perfectly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Located on the main ave across from Circus Circus. Kinda cool pawn shops too but didn't have time to check them out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in, it def has the authentic dinginess that is usually synonymous with authentic tasting food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of handmade signs and pictures of food on the walls. And also lots of pictures from their hometown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a Monday afternoon and there were many local Mexican families eating there which is another great sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordering was pretty easy. After doing me best To order in Spanish I realized the lady working there spoke perfect English. Haha. I ordered a shrimp burrito with everything and 3 street tacos all to go. It took a long time for the food to come out. There was a large party order that they were getting ready so I waited a long time. It was so long that I expected them to offer me a free coffee or soda but they didn't. The food finally came and it was a solid 4. The shrimp burrito was tasty and the shrimp was cooked really well. The tacos were good too. I'll def be back next time I'm in Reno. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The definition of a mom and pop restaurant. I came here for breakfast and ordered the menudo. It was absolutely delicious. They allowed me to order it with a mix of corn and flour tortillas. It also came with a tray of chips and salsa. The bowl of deliciousness didn't smell funky and the meat was melt in your mouth tender. I will be sure to remember this place for future trips to Reno. read more

My husband and I were very hungry and tired of spending mega money on subpar food at the casinos. Stumbled across the Taqueria and could not have been more pleased.

The chili relleno were homemade not from a can, which is hard to find! read more

Ok. This will be a quick one and for those of you who tried this place will know. I would like to say... I am craving for you - soft taco lengua and cheese quesadilla! The service is fast. Order up at the front. They'll give you a number and you find a spot to sit. They'll serve you free chips and dip. It's warm and toasty. You're not even finished with the appetizer and your food is already being served. I love how the lengua is so soft and melts in your mouth. Oh my!!!! I'm literally craving for it right now! Haha. The ambiance inside is ok. The music and or the tv is not loud. You can relax while you're eating too. But for us it's a quick in and out. We went around lunch time and it was uhm ok I think. The people kind of I don't know how to say it. Lol. It's as if we're aliens eating in a taqueria. Hahaha. So to dine in again, maybe not. The parking, you have to park on the side street. Or you can park up front but only 2 cars can park. To top it all, I will go back and order their food again and will try the other ones on their menu. Because why not specially the food is really good! read more

I hate giving such a low score but I feel like is a must. The service was great, the girl in the register was nice and welcoming. However, the food was not too tasty. I ordered five street tacos 2 asada, 2 pastor and one carnitas. The meat tasted like they used very old oil or the meat was old. The salsas were too mild and some were sweet from so much tomato which is not a big deal but takes the authentic taste away. I guess that's a personal preference. Lastly, the carnitas taco.. I tasted a small piece of the meat before the whole thing. The meat tasted old and way too refried or reheated. I felt bad for wasting food but I had to leave that taco untouched in the plate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small and nice nothing fancy but with enough space to sit and tv to listen to which was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't know if there is a better choice of food to pick there but if the meat wasn't good I can't imagine any other plates being any different. read more

It's been a few years since I've been to Reno, so it was nice to see that my family's go-to restaurant is still as lively as usual. The food prices here has increased most likely due to inflation, but the quality of the food and the service here was still as good as before. I got a fish quesadilla for $12, and it was stuffed with cheese and fish. It was just what I needed after a long day of skiing. read more

First time there for lunch today with my family. It was actually recommended by my brother in law. Wow, so much of a variety of choices for tacos! I was amazed! We seriously wanted to order the whole menu. I ordered a lengua and fish taco, hubby ordered menudo, and the kids had chicken tacos plates. My kids are picky eaters! They devoured their whole plate and wanted more of the rice! I loved both of my tacos especially the fish taco. They had a perfect amount of fish in the tacos and the salsa they topped off with was a perfect spice! My family and I will definitely come back here when we visit Reno! read more

Amazing taste The best tacos, I asked for a little more salsa and I was given 3 different kind to taste and enjoy. Definitely recommended! read more

Best mendoza and shrimp burrito in town. I make point to visit here when in Reno. 5 Stars!!!

My mom wanted to try this Mexican spot to eat. So, just went here they did not have much for vegetarians/vegans but I forgot what they made for me, I think it was some rice and beans dish thing, it was just ok I suppose? Yet really with they had some more vegetarian shit... #hopefullwishing... read more

This place is !!! Conveniently located across the street from the Silver Legacy where we stayed. We ordered the carnitas tacos and a cocktail with . Where to begin, first of all the carnitas had the right amount of crispy edges, tender meat and fat ratio. So flavorful, I swear my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The cocktail came with the nice big shrimp. On the first day, I had it with octopus and on the second without it. I enjoyed both equally I just wanted more on day two. The flavor was on point and the have you a bottle of hot sauce and ketchup to add to your liking. I would drive back to Reno just to eat there again! read more

Atmosphere: 3/5 Clean, well organized but not what one would consider nice or upscale. Went during the snow storm so the restaurant was quite empty. Service: 3/5 Nothing special but they do offer complimentary chips and salsa. Food came out quick but had very little interaction with the staff. Some people like to eat in peace. Food: 3/5 Ordered the quesadilla with birria. This was by no means a quesa birria and the cashier made it clear. As far as the food is concerned, it was tasty, however the meat was a bit dry. Overall experience was ok but not memorable. read more

Out of town and looking for some good affordable eats. And this place was right across the street and I found it on Yelp. It's a little different from the Mexican food at home but was still well worth the cost. And was still delicious. Walk up to the counter and order and they bring it to your table. It was quick and easy. Place isn't terrible but it's not your fancy restaurant either. Food was great salsa was great I have no complaints. I had the camerones a la diablo. Rice beans were cooked well the sauce on the shrimp had a smoky flavor which was different but still good. Would eat here over and over. read more
