    Chilaquiles
    Ana A.

    We came in for breakfast, it was not busy at all. We got sat right away. Our waitress was okay. The customer service was def lacking. After she took our order and delivered the food not once did we see her again or had any follow up if we needed anything. The customer service def took away from a good experience. The food was okay too. I ordered the chilaquiles which reminds me more of a tostada with cheese, meat and salsa than chilaquiles. The elite was good, the pancake was okay.

    My friends and I stopped by on a Thursday around 7pm. We were able to find parking right in front, checked in with the host, and were seated right away. We started with drinks and I ordered the Tamalindo, it was really good with the chamoy and Tajin rim! For food, we decided to share La Charola which came with fresh guacamole, pico de Gallo, two salsas, and chips. I ordered the al pastor burrito. It was good though I wish it had more meat. It's a good place to enjoy food and drinks with friends!

    My wife and I were blown away by this hole-in-the-wall spot in Roosevelt District. It was our first time here, and our server, Mini (not sure if I spelled that right) did such a fantastic job at making us feel right at home. She answered all of our questions, gave us great recommendations, and was extremely polite. We ordered the frijoles con queso, which was so flavorful (and a perfect appetizer), the New Mexican enchiladas, and the Bistec Tampequena. Everything was cooked to perfections. It didn't try too hard to be different. Gallo Blanco took traditional dishes and simply elevated them to perfection. We cannot wait to return again.

    We picked this spot bc we have an Amex benefit. The hostess was super friendly and sat us right away. Our waitress was nice but forgot to refill our waters. The food came outright after the other which is great but we had a small table so it was tight. We got the monchito cocktail- my husband enjoyed the smokiness, I was hoping for more coconut flavor. The standout dish for me was the ceviche- the flavors were so good, although the amount of fish did seem little compared to the veggies and sauce. The guac was good and the accompanying salsas had a great spice. My shrimp and grits were ok- there was a smoky flavor that's not my favorite. They were able to put the chorizo on the side as I don't eat meat. My husband enjoyed his tampequena- he said it the steak was just right. It is served with tortillas so the dish is kind of like fajita style in that you build your own taco. The streets were busy with cars but we got lucky and found a spot easily!

    My sister introduced me to this place & I'm so glad she did. The food was delicious! & as a vegetarian I'm usually limited in options but they had a decent selection for breakfast & lunch--much appreciated! Their aguas taste fresh & rich, I don't even like agua de jamaica but let me tell you! I drank half my Mamas cup lol the horchata is rich in flavor & pretty sweet so keep that in mind. The restaurant itself is larger than it appears, lots of fun art & colors, full bar, limited parking FYI (street parking mostly.) Our server was kind enough to let us try/sample the aguas before committing to an entire glass. So thank you for that. Prices were decent for the quality of food. I ordered the vegetable burrito ($14-$18/plate) with beans & cheese. I was at first nervous the veggies were going to make the burrito soggy but nope. It was perfection. Compliments to the chef! & the salsas were bangin' too! My sister ordered a steak salad which she inhaled & the amount of meat served on her salad was worth every dollar, they did not hold back. Overall, I will definitely be back to try the chilequiles which I heard are also bomb. My only notes: -A little more cheese on my burrito but that's just me 'cause I love cheese. -& Perhaps a soyrizo option for the non-meat eaters. I promise, try it, you'd be surprised how tasty a soyrizo & egg come out, it's a close second!

    Elote -- the kernels were small, so they gave us 2.

    This was great! I like that they have breakfast offerings all day. My brother and I came and got a selection of food. We started with elote and ceviche which were fine. We split the heuvos rancheros and got our own tacos (I had the Del mar and carne asade tacos). We also split the tres leches cake. My favorites were the Del Mar taco, the heuvos, and the cake. I thought the Del Mar taco had more flavor than the carne asade. I guess I could've added the salsa I was drenching the chips with to the carne asada, but I just ate it straight with the lime. The ceviche was good, and the elote was ok. I'd definitely come back. Service was very friendly. We arrived early enough we didn't NEED a reservation, but I'd recommend it. It got busy by the time we left.

    Cocktail
    Kelli K.

    A strange mix of American and Mexican food. The Mexican food is undersalted and unnecessarily creamy and cheesy. The pozole was bland. The cheese grits with shrimp was bland and soupy. The cocktails were great. Seems like Mexican food for an American palate.

    Guacamole

    Stopped by over the weekend and loved eating at their patio. It was late in the afternoon so we got seated right away. Their patio is dog friendly which is always a plus. I was craving pozole and there's not many places where you can get this. The bowl was huge and tasty, I wished it had more pork. We also got the guacamole and the small one was a great portion. The chips were good. Service was friendly and we got the food super fast. I am definitely going to come back again for brunch.

    4.5/5! I'm a big fan of Gallo Blanco! I think it's a cute spot, the drinks are great, there's a wide variety and the tacos consistently hit the spot for me. I went the other day and ordered the mango margarita, elote to share and three tacos - shrimp, pork belly and carne asada. The mango margarita was delicious; the mango puree was strong without tasting artificially sweet. Each taco has a unique and flavorful profile and they don't skimp on the protein. I particularly love the sweet / salty of the pork belly and the sauce on the shrimp. Three tacos is a filling meal! I also liked that the elote had good flavor and topping without being caked in mayo or cotija. My only complaint with our most recent visit was that the service was pretty slow. We were seated at the bar and had to wave someone down both to order drinks and later to order food.

    Shrimp and grits
    Mike B.

    Stopped here for dinner with a group of six, before heading to Phoenix theater for a show. Pleasantly surprised that happy hour is every day from 3:00 to 6:00, and there house Margarita or skinny margarita is on the happy hour special for just $7! Wine and beer was $5 on happy hour. Reasonably extensive menu. I had the shrimp and grits, and it was excellent with plenty of shrimp and the the Shreiners chorizo was an added bonus. The La Bomba burrito was an upgrade to the standard Al Pastor and was a great twist on a classic. Two in our party ordered the salmon and we're very happy with it. We did start with the spicy ceviche and they were not kidding as it did have a kick and was excellent. A must stop if you're in the area!

    Churros
    Mindi D.

    Great food and service. The churros were the real star but the tacos, burrito and rice were excellent too!

    So surprised by this place! Hadn't heard of it (which shame on me) and just decided to try off of Resy and was BLOWN AWAY. Has been a while since I've been so caught off guard by such delicious food. Learned that so many of their ingredients are local, the simple syrup and juices for the margs are homemade/freshly squeezed. The quality was just so apparent and the flavors were incredible. Brought my husband back immediately and it's our new hyper fixation spot! Staff is great too, sat at the bar, super friendly. Vibes inside were casual, even some people working at the bar during happy hour which was kinda cool to see. Love this spot!

    Sampler - flapjacks with barbacoa, eggs over easy, and sourdough!
    Yu W.

    A friend recommended here for brunch and its dog friendliness, and I'm so thankful. I've never been the biggest fan of pancakes, but their flapjacks are insanely fluffy and simply glorious! I'm such a fan now! Also a big fan of their coffees - got to try the cafe miel and cafe de olla! The servers are all super nice and friendly. The place is adorable. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!

But I wanted something hearty after donating blood the day before at Phoenix Fan Fusion. I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!"

We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic.
