Los Gallos - Placentia

Love Los Gallo's family owned and operated authentic Mexican cuisine! I also notice their low prices!!

I really enjoyed both the flavor and presentation of the food. I ordered two different types of enchiladas, and they were both delicious. There were several options to choose from, and I was very pleased with my selection. The meal was wonderfully moist, setting it apart from other Mexican restaurants I've been to. The Spanish rice had a unique homemade relish on top that was simply delightful. The atmosphere was friendly, but it was a bit distracting that the sounds from the nightly news were audible near the dining area, especially on certain days. We look forward to returning to see how the tamales are prepared.

I ordered takeout, so my review focuses solely on the food, not the service or atmosphere. I tried the albondigas soup, but the meatballs were too tough to eat and lacked flavor.

I loved the Chili Verde—it was absolutely addicting and definitely deserves 5 stars. However, the shredded Rindhart Taco was just average, so I’ll give that 3 stars. I also appreciated the hospitality of the staff, especially since I wasn't required to wear a mask, despite the signs at the entrance indicating otherwise.

The prices are fantastic, and the food is delicious. I tried the Chile Verde Special, and it was very good.
