This is a gem. Spotless and staffed with thoughtful and responsive team members. The food was exceptionally fresh and made thirty thought to health conscious customers. The guacamole is exceptionL and entree portions are generous. Having lunch, there was delightful as it was not crowded and the service was very prompt Prices are very reasonable as well read more

Soooo good! A great spot for a casual yet put together meal. I highly recommend getting the elote and taco platters, especially the barbacoa. The churros were a great sweet treat for after the meals. Service was great, they were able to accommodate seating with our dog and also unseasoned chicken for her read more

Gallo Blanco is a fave amongst the locals and when I take out of towners it is always a hit! This location is tucked into a walking residential neighborhood and has a spacious interior for a dining room experience or a bar/lounge experience. There are also two out door patios to choose from. The menu has options for meats or veggies eaters. This a Mexican restaurant, but you can order pancakes here as well (a fave). The traditional margaritas are tart if you don't love the usual mix. The chips that arrive to your table include 3 different salsa with varying levels of heat. The service has always been spot on. read more

Everything is amazing here! The service and food are exactly what you want whether you are going out for brunch or even dinner. The micheladas and drinks are always refreshing. Appreciate this local gem very much. read more

What a great lunch experience. Everyone was friendly and the service was amazing. They have options for everyone and every allergy. The ambiance is nice. Noisy but not so bad that you have to yell. I will be back soon. read more

Where to begin? Outdoor seating where the copious amounts of flies were more attentive than the wait staff. When we asked for another "fan," the confused wait staff member....looking perplexed... brought us another "fan" that didn't work. She saw it didn't work but just left it at out table anyway. We had to borrow another working fan from a different table. On to the food.... Never had Chilaquiles serves on tostadas. Also, most other places serve chilaquiles with a thicker sauce. Imagine my surprise when I was served eggs, with barbacoa, sitting on tostada shells, swimming in soup. Never been so disappointed in breakfast dish in my life. My wife had the huevos rancheros. She complained of the odd flavor of the tortillas. She said it was reminiscent of masa that was made from hose water. Overall horrible experience. read more

Great happy hours deals! Had the spicy margarita that was great, started with Elote - delicious! My first torta - we had the La bombs torta and the pork belly torta recommended by the server. Both were great! My first torta ever :) read more

Solid neighborhood staple in DT PHX. After two visits I still really like this place. Casual yet slightly upmarket vibe makes you feel like your money's really going somewhere. The carne asada burrito gets a 4/5 from me. Definitely not your authentic, hole-in-the-wall style burrito but it's pretty dang good. My only complaint is that it's on the small side. The great: consistency, great service, ambiance, food presentation and taste The good: as a value proposition it is not the best. The ugly: nothing to report Would absolutely come back. 4.5-stars from me. read more

This is a really nice spot that's a bit out of the way but super worth it. The interior is ultra modern industrial but with a Mexican accent! I like the tres leches here as well as the entrees. The best though? Chilaquiles! Come here for brunch/breakfast and get the chilaquiles. It's the perfect way to start your day. This is a great for a first date, to meet up with an old friend, or to pleasantly surprise your foodie friends. Fun fact: the chef here was tapped to be the executive chef for the Sky Harbor Centurion Lounge! read more

This place is overall one of my favorites, so I show up about once a week with 1-3 friends. It's an old historic market and warehouse building repurposed as a sit down casual but elegant, i.e. not pretentious, locally owned restaurant that isn't a chain. All the servers are wonderful. We love them all, but especially Lindsay because we've known her the longest and she's such a gem. The cooks are amazing and attentive. Just give it some thought, and let the server know what to tell them, i.e. know how you want something cooked if you have specifics. Ask for recommendations to suit your tastes, and you won't have any problems, only a uniquely friendly and delicious dining experience! Note: Prices are decent, but go at happy hour for the specials that can't be outdone anywhere else in the area. read more

The food and environment here is always top notch. It be never disappoints. Scratch made sauces and salsa - lots of flavor. The staff is always so welcoming and attentive. Way to go! As always, will be back! read more

What a hidden gem deep in the residential of Phoenix. Fantastic tacos Ala cart. The only downside is the service is pretty slow and you have to pay for chips and salsa. Sodas come in a can. read more

Everything we ate was delicious! Recommend sharing the family style tacos for a group so you can try all of the various skillets. Cocktails were also very well balanced! Highly recommend. read more

This place reminds me of the places my international family takes Us to when we visit them. ABSOLUTELY LOVE the cozy vibe, decor and the Espresso Martinis, while pricey, WHEW LAWDY, they are worth the splurge!! Service is spot on, unfortunately, after 2 Martini's, I cannot recall our Server's name, but she was very attentive and accommodating! We shared the Chorizo and Bean dip and a Carne Asada Burrito--both we're EXCELLENT! The Patio looked quite inviting, but there were no heaters & we live in AZ, year around, so our blood is thin. Since it's November, we had to pass this time. BUT I am already planning a weekend get together on that Patio with my Girls when it warms up here! $5 Mimosas, Margaritas & Bloody Mary's... you might want to beat Us there & get a seat!! read more

I got the New Mexico chicken enchiladas and a regular margarita. My date got the sope with a mango margarita. The enchiladas were great, very filling, juicy chicken, delicious red sauce. The rice and beans here are very good. Solid plate. My margarita didn't taste that great, but the mango margarita was much better. Great service, fair prices. I will be back to try more things on the menu. read more

This dip is incredible here. Perfect level of spicy. The cocktails are signature and the palomas are great. They have a cute patio for diners, as well as ample space inside. Located in a trendy neighborhood, this is great for dinner or for an apps and cocktails stop. A little pricey but really good. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. The food is phenomenal, the drinks are great and inexpensive especially during happy hour, and the ambience is homey and fun. My favorites are the flapjacks, the fries with aioli, and the shrimp tacos. read more

I came here for an early dinner with some coworkers. We sat outside and the local neighborhood cat, named pollo, joined us as well (our server told us he hangs out and sometimes lucks out getting some chicken). For my meal I had a house margarita and the New Mexica enchiladas. The margarita was great and cheap for happy hour. The enchiladas were solid as well. They had a good red sauce, weren't as spicy as I was hoping, but had some really good creme sauce on top to balance the red sauce. We had a good time and the weather was perfect for an outdoor meal. The patio was closed in with a gate on the end and a tree in the middle. Noise level was low and made for easy conversation. read more

Oh man. It's hard to use just words to describe how good Gallo Blanco was. The combination of location, venue, ambiance, staff, and food - all being REALLY GOOD - is just so rare to find! I and two friends arrived on a Saturday evening without reservations and got a table in the bar area right away. We'd heard about their good margaritas but waffled between the Gallo or La Flaca version. Knowing we would have more than one we decided to try the Gallo first, then swap - but it was so good that we had three each and never wavered. Homemade guacamole sprinkled with cojita cheese and served with a variety of delicious salsas and some pico - and they brought extra chips - was a wonderful start. We ordered a delicious (truly!) elote - made with grilled corn which gave a unique smoky flavor to the dish. You can have it on the cob - or cut off - and it was excellent. Ok - it maybe needed a tiny bit more mayo for extra "juiciness" but YUM! We decided to split two orders of Tacos Familias - each included six amazing (AMAZING!) homemade corn tortillas and two choices of protein - we had a pork roasted with red chili (spicy flavorful, not spicy hot), carne asada, shrimp, and barbacoa - they were all good - the shrimp and barbacoa were over the top delicious. We threw in a side order of frioles - and in spite of the 12 tortillas, we added another 6 - and ATE.THEM.ALL! Sublimely delicious! My friends are married - one (the main cook in their house) isn't a desert fan, so the other suffers from lack of such. Whenever we go out - or cook in - regardless of how full we are, desert is a must. We chose the Tres Leches, and while we waited the three of us discussed "juicy" cake (a pool of cream on the plate) vs drier. The non-desert friend was in favor of the latter - me and his hubby the former. We were delighted and mesmerized when a huge and JUICY piece of cake was served! I've had TL this good only once (thank you Ken Wills/Cave Vin/Minneapolis!) - it was scrumptious. Mr "I don't like desert" had three bites and agreed on how good it was. I'm watching my "girlish figure" so I had five bites. And he who rarely gets desert enjoyed the bulk of the cake. This was all of the combinations I noted in my first paragraph, but I'll add one more - given the quality and quantity of food, it was also pretty reasonable - the tab for all of the food and 8 margaritas was $153. Looking forward to going back again! HIGHLY recommended!! ‍ ADDENDUM: no changes in comments but a suggestion for improvement. We asked for crema for our tacos and were served a hard cold clump of sour cream. It's fairly easy to make crème fraiche or even buy good commercial crema. I mean, you make fantastic tortillas, why dumb them down with sour cream? It should be semi-liquid so you can drizzle it over those wonderful tacos! read more

On a Thursday evening, this place was busy. We came here for the margaritas and they were fantastic. Getting a seat and situated was slow at first, as the people at the front kept asking us to wait for the host to seat us. After waiting a couple of minutes, with no one to show us where to seat, the front apologized and directed us to a table. They have outdoor seating, but we opted inside. The place is rather large, with two bar areas and lots of seating. They have an open kitchen, where they pump out some delicious tacos at a fast rate. So fast, that we got our carne asada tacos before we got our drinks. Carne asada tacos came with cilantro and onion and the salsa was spicy. Really good though? The Gallo Blanco margarita was great and so was the sangria. Interestingly, the sangria used white wine instead of red. Either way, it was good. The server was nice and overall experience was good read more

We were visiting and ate here after seeing it on Local Nomad's "A Local's Guide to Phoenix". Loved it so much that we came back a second time. Ordered tacos, all were amazing. Loved the kids' menu as well. The chilaquiles were my favorite. La Flaca Margarita was good - had it both times and it was consistently good. Highly recommend this gem in Phoenix! read more

Awesome. The place is busy for a reason. The chips with all the sauces and guacamole could be a meal on its own. So good. The chilaquiles is my go to. Never had better. Top all that off with their great margaritas. Located in an old neighborhood grocery store near 7th street. Always a great stop. Never disappointed. read more

Had a photoshoot across the street and stopped in for brunch on a Sunday out of curiosity. Gallo Blanco did not disappoint! When we first got there around 10am, it was pretty quiet but filled up soon enough with tons of families waiting. Loved the cafe con horchata and my chulaquiles were BOMB! Hubs got the pozole rojo which he practically licked clean. He wasn't a huge fan of the cinnamon mocha, a little more bitter than he was expecting. Service was top notch! Super friendly staff and our server was awesome. He checked on us often and gave great recs. Even with the line of folks waiting building up, we never felt rushed. Definitely want to come back for dinner and drinks! read more

During our stay in Phoenix, this place was recommended by our host. We went for dinner & had margs & the family plate of tacos. Both were delicious. Guacamole was quite tasty too. Rarely do we visit the same restaurant during a trip, but wanted to try their breakfast. Sooooo glad we did. Enjoyed the breakfast even more than dinner. If you go for breakfast, the Chilaquiles will NOT disappoint. So yummy. And make sure someone in your party gets flapjacks. They were the best pancakes we've ever had. A party of two could easily split the Chilaquiles and order a flapjack. Enjoy! read more

What a lovely surprise in downtown Phoenix. The happy hour margaritas were fabulous our server so helpful. The food was delicious, the vibe was fantastic. It reminded me of being back home in Mpls, where you are driving down the street and a restaurant reveals itself where you would not expect it. This one was modern and urban and so neighborly. Definitely recommending to all my friends and family! Well done Gallo Blanco! Thank you for the fabulous surprise! read more

We brought some out of town visitors to Gallo Blanco yesterday evening raving about the food but unfortunately we were not able to eat there due to poor service. We were not greeted, the staff seemed too consumed with inserting their credit card tips then to even acknowledge us. We stood there for 5 minutes as four of the servers were behind the counter ignoring us. Once finally sat at our table the server never came so we got up and left. I have never experienced such disregard from a restaurant before let alone Gallo. It was only 7pm and not packed/busy as I have seen it before. read more

One of my favorite places to go in downtown Phoenix. Great food super friendly staff fun family place.

The patio was heavenly, the food so authentic and tasty! A great place near Sky Harbor.

DELICIOUS. Bomb salsas, sope was amazing & filling Love this place. Shrimp I& grits sooo bomb read more

The food is Amazing except I don't recommend the tacos dorados. They are more like a chalupa and are very dry. Everything else tastes great. The service by their waitstaff is hit or miss. We've gone in 3 times. Two of the 3 waitresses were unenthusiastic and were not really checking on our table. The second time we went, the waitress was great. I wish I would have gotten her name. It's a cute little spot. read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place! This is the spot I have started taking my friends and family to for the environment and especially the food.
