Authentic Mexican Restaurant
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!
After reading two post today on Facebook about this place I’ve decided to go there with my wife. Staff is super friendly, food and drink fast and delicious. Jesus our sever was very very friendly. Owner stopped by and he’s very attentive as well. Will be our taco place to go. Thank you guys for an amazing evening.
Excellent sangria and the attention of the waitress Angi is very good
This place is here to stay! This is what weston was missing, a good taco place, beautiful decorated and with an incredible vibe. The service is fast, and great. Will definitely be back again
Came here for a business meeting and this place is REALLY good. Actually really liked the food, nice and calm. Wonderful service. Felt like I was in a different country honeskty with how good the food was.
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.
Andres was very polite as were the rest of the staff. We ordered the Chips and Guac and Carne Asada Quesadilla! Yummy!
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.
I got Al pastor quesdilla , Food was very tasty , but the portion sizing was very very small . I won t be going back ever .
Great Mexican culinary experience in Weston! Absolutely love the environment and the decor. Food was amazing and full of flavors.
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.
Im so happy we found this place! It takes me right back to my days in San Diego, with its delicious food and warm, welcoming atmosphere. They really nail that authentic Mexican flavor here.
My wife and I very much enjoyed our dinner. Our tacos were super flavorful and the restaurant has a really nice ambiance. As big fans of salsa and spicy food, we had fun trying their Flight of Salsas. We ll be back for sure!
Amazing spot all around!!!!
The tacos are amazing The tortillas are fresh and you can taste the tortilla corn Food
Really loved the taco selections and salsas. Quick and fresh. Nice atmosphere!
Without a doubt the best al pastor tacos in all of Florida 10/10
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.
Delicious chicken tacos and burritos just a bit pricey for the portions.
The tacos and burrito bowls are to die for
We had a great time and great tacos and drinks here!!!! Paloma, Pacos al Pastor, Quesadillas con Pollo Tinca, Tacos de Churrasco everything great!!!!
Wow we found our Mexican spot everything was authentic and so good Carnitas Tacos OMG so amazing THE PLANT GUY Food
Best tacos around Weston
Love the ambiance and the food. 5 stars plus!
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.
Good tacos, good service, pretty store, great location. Always parking.
Excellent service and 100 food
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.
Food was fresh and very good.
Food is delicious but everything seems to be appetizer portion. I dont mind spending more than usual for Tacos, but serve me a good size portion. If I cant get full on Mexican food then the serving sizes are too small.
I got the barbacoa tacos and they were phenomenal! The chips and pico were great too (thick, high quality chips and super fresh pico). The interior design was beautiful and everything was just wonderful!
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.
Wooooow!!!
Great service and food. Spicy dishes so beware when ordering. Lychee margarita was delicious!
The very best Mexican Restaurant in La Florida!!! Tastefull flavors take u straight to Mexico, glorious drinks everything served by friendly and professional cookers, servers and bartenders. MUST GO! Vegetarian options: Many veggie options available Parking: Reservation not always required, but recommended
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!
Wow! Authentic Mexican cuisine. We had a carne asada bowl, chicken tinga tacos and carne asada chilaquiles. Amazing food and great ambience. Service was awesome and the beer cold! Great to have an authentic mexican food in the area! Definitely recommended!!
Food 110% music 120% service 100% (they were missing people)
Delicious food!!!
The food is good, small portions but they need more waiters the service was very slow and I have never seen in a Mexican place that gives you potatoes chips with hot sauce
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.
Very good atmosphere. They took great care of us. Very good music. The food could be improved, I recommend the spicy classic margarita. The spice is quite mild, I imagine to adapt to the local palate.
Excellent experience!! Great food. Service very good. 150 % recommended it. You wont regret it
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.
The place is small and cozy, impeccable decoration, the food was tasty, I recommend the Chilquiles and the carnitas tacos. The service was good, however it can improve.
Coming back for sure!
The waitress was the only person who made me feel that I belong there the rest of the employee were looking at me and my wife we are like if we didn t ballon especially the chef
The food was excellent, the atmosphere would still eat again.
Very good burritos, carne asada and chicken tinga are very good.
I loved this place! The food is excellent, everything is A+!!! I will definitely come back!
Jesus was fantastic and the food was amazing
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.
Excellent service, the dishes are too good!!! A place that was missing!!! 100% recommended!!
This is a hidden gem. The food was delicious and the churros were hot and crispy.
Family said the food was amazing
good service and very tasty food but miniature portions for the price you pay
Stopped by after reading good things in social media. Food and service is amazing. I will be coming back.
Lets start with the food, excellent mere mera Mexican food. The margarita and michelada were very well prepared and tasty. Good service, not very good. Girls lack desire. The place is very simple but nice and pleasant, it is not a festive atmosphere.
Charming and beautiful decoration! Good food and service. Delicious chicken quesadilla and tacos al pastor. Love my drink, a delicious Paloma.
Cute place. Burritos were delicious. Churros were also perfect. We will be back for sure.
Wow finally some good food in Weston. Tacos were delicious. Definitely will be back
Finally some good tacos in the Weston area.
I adore this classy and ultra friendly taqueria! the decor a total fave , everyone was super friendly and the service was top notch. Now, the food was authentic and the flavor delicious it will be a regular for my husband and I.
The food was delicious, we enjoyed the chicken quesadilla and tacos de carne asada friendly and very attentive service. Highly recommend!
Great place to eat Mexican food!
The food was ok they just need to add more to the menu
Nice ambiance, great service and delicious food. We will be back.
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!
100% recommended.
Amazing Mexican food. Probably one of the best I ve tried
Excellent. Recommended. Very Mexican.
Really good food love the environment the churrasco burrito is awesome and the churos are amazing.
Great food and drinks. Happy to have a local spot for good authentic food. Come and support a local small business.
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.
Date with spouse and simply felt back in Mexico. Simplistic, delightful, delicious and felt at home. Visiting Mexico since 18 years of age and let me tell you, those Tacos al Pastor it s a problem for me to be within the El Gallo perimeter, will definitely come back. Service and presentation outstanding, Gracias . Highly recommended
Excellent food, service, and experience.
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.
Delicious food and friendly staff. This has become my go-to for Mexican food in Weston.
Delicious. Authentic. Reasonable.
Portions are kinda small but they got a nice menu the food was flavorful and the spicy margarita was thats what made me say Im going to come back! I wanna try all their drinks!
Where do I start? The best guacamole, tacos, churros, lemonade!! Outstanding service. Great ambience.
Wow!!! The food is DELICIOUS!! All the workers had a great vibe and provided great service! The quality and taste of the food in unparalleled & the Churros are next level!!! Food : 5/5 |
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.
