Horrible! – The food was not worth the cost of gas to get there. It was flavorless, soaked in cheese and sour cream, and purely tasteless. I will not return. The service was non-existent. The decor was fine.
Mole, Mole, Mole... – We always leave over-stuffed and elated! There isn't much happening in the form of Mexican food in this town, but thank goodness there's El Gallito & Senior Lopez! The tamales are deluxe, and delicious. The combo plates are jumbo and delectable! The margaritas are satisfying, but a tad sweet. The guac is perfect, and the mole is way too good! We love this place. And, you get a free calendar on the way out...bonus! Go for some Mariachi music!
Best I've found in Seattle – I'm a Mexican food snob. I grew up in Texas in a largely Hispanic neighborhood. I've been sorely disappointed with the Mexican offerings in Seattle. My friends keep dragging me out to various places they think offer good Mexican food and then asking me what I think. I gave El Gallito a "C" for average. My friends felt like I was being unfair, but then I explained to them that "C" was a lot higher than the "F"s I gave to all those other poor excuses for Mexican restaurants. I will actually go to E... read more
Very good food and value – Love this place! It is a great deal and fast good food. Family owned and the pride shows. Not to mention they pour a good drink. Hate to tell too many people I may not be able to get in the door.
Fab mole! – I don't find the staff particularly gleeful, but the food is amazing. Try the chicken mole - your grin will get hung up on your ears. It's great stuff. The tortillas are nice and steamy soft, the rice and beans just cheesy enough. From the outside, you'd think this place was closed down. The inside is what I'd call Tijuana surprise. Not necessarily a bad thing.
IT IS THE BEST! – El Gallito has been the place I have been going for mexican food for over six years. Senior Lopez is always there to greet you. He is warm and friendly, in addtion the food is the best, the burrito sauce is yummy! also try the enchillata sauce on a burrito, mr lopez will think this is weird but the enchillata sauce is yummy with burritos, it has this spicy cinnimon flavor that is just the best. STOP going to places like Azteca or Gallirias on Boardway and start tasting the real stuff!
YUMMY – El Gallito is AWESOME mexican food.....big portions and not too greasy or heavy. The tamales were homemade and very good....The salsa is HOT so watch out! The chile verde burito seemed to be a big hit at the table.......Careful with the margaritas they are DEADLY! Highly recommend this restaurant.
Mas cerveza, por favor! – Finally I found good, authentic Mexican food here in Seattle! I could be sitting south of the border and not know the difference....the only thing missing is the sand and the sun! The ambience is authentic, the beer is cold and the guacamole is superb!
