El Gallo Restaurant

Enjoy our romantic patio while 3 Mariachis play. Brunch on Sunday

  • Austin Owned For 50 Years
  • Lunch Specials Tue-Fri 11-2:30
  • Mariachis During Dinner

For the 50 years our family has been pleased to serve Austin, we have always strived to bring our patrons fine food. We pride ourselves in using the very best ingredients, combined in recipes from our native Mexico. Every dish is expertly prepared & served quickly and courteously.

You may come to El Gallo because of our hard-to-find specialties including 50's style Tex-Mex enchiladas or for the light lunches, served from 11am to 2:30pm Tue-Fri every week. Perhaps you enjoy the mariachis who perform during dinner, or our outdoor seating on the patio. But we like to think it's a unique blend of great food, excellent service & fun atmosphere that will bring you here for the first time and will bring you back again and again!

Banquet & On-Site Catering services and To-Go orders are available for your special event or office party.

We hope you'll agree that "El Gallo es especial."

I LOVE El Gallo. Their chips and salsa are great. The salsa actually has a spicy flavor to it and it doesn't taste like a can of tomatos. I LOVE thier cheese enchiladas. They are greasy and cheesey and hot the way an enchilada should be. it is never crowded and the drinks are pretty good and cheap. The parking is great too!

Pros: Fast seating and service. Great, cheap eats and drinks. Good salsa.

Good atmosphere. Good chips and salsa. However, the worst enchiladas I have ever had. Maybe other items are great but these are not (cheese, was more like velveeta). Rice was tasteless and burnt from being in the oven. Wouldn't recommend with so many other great places to eat at in Austin.
