Love the food!

First time at El Gallo, a family-run Mexican restaurant. The taco salad was good, but no beans. It was really cold inside the restaurant, so a little uncomfortable. Our waiter was very friendly and provided great service.

Best homemade Mexican food in Texas and salsa is to die for

Food was nothing fancy but it was good. More like home cooking. Waitress was very nice and friendly. Service was good and food was hot. Limited menu. No tamales or fajitas.

We went for lunch on a Saturday. It's busy, but the food comes out quickly and tables turn over quickly. It seemed like everyone knew each other coming and going from the restaurant. Our server was super friendly. The food is classic Mexican food, but really good The chicken enchilada is in a mild green sauce, the taco was a healthy portion, and the rice is like I remember on the stove everyday growing up. The highlight was dessert. The key lime pie was fantastic, tart custard in a graham cracker crust. The sopapilla was just as delicious, a light flaky cloud with honey. We enjoyed our meals. It is important to know it's cash only, and no alcohol. The hours are a little different than on the menu. We will definitely be back.

Very good food

Every item on their menu is delicious beyond words! They make everything from scratch. Nothing is “out of the can”. I know I’ve been to places that the sauce on the enchiladas tastes like canned sauce. Theirs is a tasty homemade chili sauce. Ordering to go is easy, also. Pull up their menu, call, order and tell them what time to have it ready. They’ll get your car make, and deliver it to your car, hot and ready to take home to enjoy. Desserts are pies and homemade pralines! Yummy!
