Great Go-To TX Mex Joint!

07/18/2007 Posted by lahrlett

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.

Editor's Review

This Austin favorite has been serving traditional Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes like carne guisada and enchiladas verde since 1958. The large spacious patio offers patrons many seating options in the open air. See the full editorial review.
