I am so sad to write this review as I use to love this restaurants! They removed the impossible meat options and they do not have other alternatives such as a side of beans or mushrooms for vegetarians. Won’t be able to come back to this restaurant and my family and I loved to eat here!

Our family likes this place for authentic Mexican tacos. Everything is very tasty and has an authentic touch. The prices are reasonable, service is great. My only complaint is that the music can be a little loud sometimes.

Came out for a relative late late bite. Wanted to check out a new taco place stumbling on “El Gallo”. Nice small place centrally located. They were closing so it was a quick pick up order. Food 4 ⭐️ Location 4 ⭐️ Service 3 ⭐️ Value 1 ⭐️ All and all a nice visit but servings are tiny. There are options for great tacos so portion size is important. I’d pass on this location in the future. The pic is a quesadilla. Good if it’s for the kids.

We had burrito bowls- Chicken Tinga and Churassco. Service is excellent. Food is perfectly spiced. The sauces and spicing speaks authentic Mexican food. Limeade, Diet Coke, and water rounded out our meals. This was a lunch. I do wish the steak bowl was larger but in fairness it is an appropriate size so no points off on that. Delicious Authentic Mexican in Weston. They also serve Margaritas and wine and beer. Beautiful restaurant, great service, and the food is good but on the pricey side for the value (portion size). Our table for people came to $49.22, without tip, for two burrito bowls, a limeade, and a Diet Coke. On the other hand, if you’re watching portion size, this is a very healthy choice.

The food here is really great! The seating, not so great. I'd go a step further and say that the seating was uncomfortable. We had a bowl and the chicken tacos. The tacos were to die for! I can easily eat that same dish over and over every time. If you can get past the seating, definitely try here!

Good Mexican food. While I enjoyed my dish, the prices are rather high considering what you receive. The presentation is nice. The atmosphere is cramped, and the service was slow but kind.

Been there a couple of times. Food: flavours feel authentic. The potato chips with sauce is a mexican classic! Great! Guacamole is the best we’ve tried in the Weston surroundings. For tacos: Al pastor, barbacoa and carnitas not bad in my opinion. But my family liked those flavours.. To me and my wife, tacos de carne asada are the best. The fact they come with a specific sauce (salsa) is great. Portion sizes were as expected. We loved the verde, roasted serrano and chile de arbol salsas! Chilaquiles are great! Very authentic and great flavour! Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus fresh water) is also very good and traditional in Mexico. Great! Finally, for dessert: churros are fantastic! Service: extraordinary. Very attentive. Quick. Always checking all is fine. Atmosphere is relaxed. Mexican pop hits (songs that were hits in Mexico) always playing in the background. Clean bathrooms. A great place to visit!

Very expensive for what they offer, little variety and no differential value that merits cost/product, I would not return

Ordered through uber eats. Portions are extremely small. Sent wrong food and sauces. You think someone would have the decency to check an order going out with all the fees. Total rip off for the price.

The food was very good, the chilaquiles were the bomb, tacos were fire, and the people were very nice. The restaurant is a bit small, dont expect to go with a big group, but perfect for a date or a chill with another couple. All in all 8/10

Family ordered four dinners. Cost with tip @ $90. Food was average, slightly greasy. Portions very small. We all left hungry and picked up dinner at Publix. When I expressed my disappointment to the server she indicated other customers same issue. Won t return.

Service was terrible. Waitresses can t keep up. Our table ordered food and they delayed bringing food to a member of our party by another 15 minutes after our food was brought to the table. The took a while to bring drinks and more water. Food was good. Drinks were good. To bad service is terrible.

When I go to Mexican restaurant Im looking fwd to chips and salsa. What they give us is a tiny bowl (did i say tiny?) Bowl of potato chips like lays, strange. If there is a group of people the tiny bowl looks hilarious. Like come on, a larger bowl needs to be placed. Second food is over priced not worth what you get. Waiter was a young man very slow unattentive. We agreed we would not be back. With that being said place clean, well decorated comfortable, no wait during lunch hour, nice people.

All the food they served us here was delicious, you can tell they definitely use fresh, quality ingredients. The flavors are very close to Mexican flavors. Of course, the cost is a little high but I think it is worth it since it is not easy to find good Mexican flavors in the city. The girls who served us were very friendly and helpful. We will return. Parking: As it is located in a shared plaza, there is plenty of parking, if you are lucky you will find it right in front of the restaurant.

Extensively expensive for what the type of food it is, literally the smalles tortilla /tacos youll ever see. 2 modest bites per taco, 3 tiny tacos $15.00 once said and done. Flavor is really good, praces abusive. Same with their drinks, expensive and you get a very small cup. Also, presure on trying to sell you more food. We felt they were way hungrier than us! Hungry for $$$$. Again, Abusive prices for very VERY little bit of food. No going back there.

$14 Margarita which is made with a wine - they have no blue agave tequila. It was a pretty awful drink. We sampled the food with a steak quesadilla which was served cold. Better options are available for this type of food in Weston and around Broward. I was hoping for a nice evening and was deeply disappointed.

I understand this a high end restaurant being where it s at but 15 dollars for 3 tiny tacos is just robbery I could go to a real taqueria restaurant n get 3 tacos n pay less then 15 dollars for 3 real tacos also jarritos 5 bucks is just insane not worth the money.

My daughter and I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos (3 per order) and my husband ordered the same but in a burrito. The food is very tasty but the portions are extremely small. These were the smallest tacos I ve ever seen. The chips were great and so was the guac and pico but we were left unsatisfied and still hungry.

Best taco spot out west or maybe even all of South Florida!! Hip atmosphere with a minimalist menu. We had almost everything and it was all delicious. Recommend spicy margarita to start and churros to finish. Wifey and I stopped in for lunch and no wait, but I heard dinner gets real busy. Either way would have been worth the wait. Give it a try, you won t regret it!

★★★
February 23, 2024

Great decor and location. The idea of the restaurant is nice however execution of food and drinks could be better. Ordered the chilaquiles with churrasco, not what I expected. Too much tomatillo sauce, and the churrasco tasted more like boiled/reheated bite sizes. Menu needs a taco sampler option. The Paloma cocktail missed the mark, not balanced and lacked the grapefruit flavor.

I use to be a regular customer at this place and the food was not cheap, but very good, last time the food was awful, I told the server about it, he told me he will speak with his manager about it, but they charged me the full ticket despite the fact I just eat less than 50% of the food. Not recommended.

Cool little spot filled to the brim with Weston trophy wives and finance bros. Staff was nice enough but green. Takeout order was quick and easy (5-10 min wait). Carne Asada tacos and guacamole were very good, Al Pastor and chips were fine. Cheese Quesadilla was meh. All the sauces were flavorful and spicy. Best Mexican we ve had in the area. Would order again!

Called for takeout and was told they weren t taking carry out orders because dining room was full and orders would take too long. Wasn t even given choice to wait. Very disappointing.

Food was good service was good but the restaurant does not have a typical taqueria vibe whatsoever . The background music was too loud, acoustics weren t the greatest which lead to not hearing the waiters, host.. very well felt like I was at little hen eating Mexican again, food was good but that vibe was just not there will we go back?.. yes, maybe at some point but not a place we would strive to go back to any time soon.

This location has a great atmosphere with good music. The customer service is exemplary and all restaurants should try to operate at this level. Now lets discuss the food... They gave chips and sauce which consisted of potato chips with hot sauce on them. These were not good at all. The guacamole was good but pretty standard to any other Mexican place you can go to. The chips they give you with the guacamole were right out of a bag. I ordered the carne asada burrito. It was ok, there are better burritos in Weston. The price is ridiculous for for the portion.

Outstanding new spot here in Weston. My wife and I passed by one day on our way for ice cream. Decided tonight was the night. Starting with their house made chips we shared a chicken quesadilla. I m not one for chicken but wow! Packed full of flavor and presented beautifully. Next we each had a burrito. Wife had chicken and I had carne asada. Delicious. Guac was delicious as well as the salsa that we tried from their variety. Lastly we shared an order of churros which was cooked and sugared perfectly. Ah! Almost forgot to mention the service. They treated us very well and made sure we were satisfied. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you and welcome to Weston!

We have been here two times: the first one we couldn t dine inn because the restaurant was full. We waited at the entrance for 15 minutes and nobody came to take our information to put us in the wait line, so we left. The second time, we order for take out, everything was smooth with the order, actually our order was ready in 5min. We got very disappointed when we saw the size of the tacos, very small portions for the price that is being paid.

I have been 2 times and ordered food to go once. When we picked the food, they had given our large order to another person that had done a small one. I understand this can happen, but the owner, who was present, not any other member of the restaurant didn t even had the courtesy to apologize for THEIR MISTAKE. I like the food, but their attitude was simply wrong.

What a gem! Came on a Sunday afternoon. The place is cozy. The staff is very friendly. The place is decorated very nice as well. The server was very helpful in deciding what to order. The mango margaritas were delicious, not too sweet. The agua fresca was also nice, but definitely would stick with the margarita. The guacamole and chips tasted fresh, not too salty. The salsas were all good, careful because they could be spicy if you re not accustomed to it. The quesadillas were a hit. The steak, mushroom and chicken were all delicious. I will be returning.

New restaurant that has great potential but unfortunately my first try was disappointing. Dropped in for a quick lunch of pastor tacos with a diet Coke. Small dish of kettle chips with red sauce was presented and different but what the heck. Diet Coke came out in a mixed drink glass 5oz of drink accented with a lime. I was thirsty and asked for a refill but was warned that these are the 5oz cans at 5 usd a pop. Very disappointing. Finally, the Seranto hot sauce with guac came with tacos. Taste was fabulous but again a bit of sand or dirt was somewhere on the 2 and 3 taco making the meal just okay despite the great taste.
