    We were looking for some tacos before heading back home, especially since the line to cross the border was long. Hubby called a friend and he recommended this place. We didn't have enough dollars or pesos, so we went to a nearby ATM, as it's cash only. I only wanted the adobada tacos! He ordered some for himself, but also tried the cabeza and carne asada ones, I believe.The tacos were delicious and very flavorful. The salsa had a nice kick to it as well. Gallito is a great place for some yummy street tacos!

    The food here was excellent. The service was great, and they had very clean bathrooms. my Spanish isn't too good, but they had one woman there who spoke some English. You order and then eat then pay which was cool. Overall very satisfied. The only con was there's a lot of flies. But this isn't a fine dining restaurant, it's more of a taco stand with good seating and clean bathrooms.

    I love tacos! However I don't eat just about any taco. That been said I will share my thoughts on this establishment tacos! I usually go to tacos El Gallo down the street and since they were in the process of moving across the street I came to their other location which is called El Gallito. I ordered two al pastor tacos and after I finished them I ordered one tripa taco and one suadero. The al pastor was good but I thought that the marinade was a little strong to my taste, the tripa and suadero were very good on my opinion. They have radishes, napkins, lemons and all the fixings on separate bags to your convenience. The taqueros are very friendly and courteous. Good tacos at affordable prices accompanied by great service. I fully recommend this establishment!

    Tacos Al Pastor!

    This place was amazing! Never have I tasted Al Pastor Tacos just BURSTING with FLAVOR! Definitely will be a regular spot everytime I come down to visit with my family. Tortillas are made Fresh too! Don't overlook this place. It's DEFINITELY worth a try. I am GLAD I got the chance to eat here before leaving back home!

    Chile relleno taco with adobada
    Mina N.

    Amazing tacos, particularly their adobada. We typically get their chile relleno with adobada taco... But even their chicken tacos were amazing, as it has nopales, boiled beans, and cheese on it! Definitely now one of our fav taco joints. We found this joint because it was recommended on Mark Wein's YouTube video on the best TJ tacos. And he was right... It was delish!

    Hot Flaming Carne Asada Burrito

    I love their Tacos but what I like the most is their Chile Relleno tacos and burritos (rice, beans, chile relleno) and their Hot Flaming Hot Cheeto! they are sooo good! BOMB! I'm always finding myself ordering from their by Ubereats lol cause I want to sit at home and enjoy those tacos and burritos of Chiles rellenos lol also their so close to home so why not right?

    After trying the place up the street, I almost didn't come here. (The other place was great!). Glad I did. Tacos El Gallito is every bit as good. Tried a few tacos, and of course a Fanta. The salsa they make is excellent, and not so spicy that you'd regret it. Everything is prepared fresh. No trouble with language, and folks are very friendly. There were maybe 25 people eating there, and I'm not surprised a bit, even on a Sunday. The photo attached is of the Adobada. Delish.

    Food was ok , but charging for 2 corn tortillas just like if you had bought a pack too jintzzy.

    Tacos are so good. This taco shop is right by the otay border crossing. If you are going through Otay you have to stop & get some taquitos. They have adobada, asada, tripas, pollo, mulas everything you need/want & more.

    Order anything on this menu at this cart only.

Lets start with the good, adobada was flavorful and that unique green salsa on top just gives it that authentic Mexican tang that you like. Unfortunately the asada taco was very underwhelming. Meat wasn't charred as it should be and the asada just wasn't quality. A little too much on the chewy side for my liking. It was eatable but just a let down after trying adobada.

It is incredibly tasty, great portions, amazing flavor, delicious salsas, insanely good onions from the grill!!! The tortillas are to die for! ( they may be handmade). We absolutely loved everything we order. Yummm!!! We got the Poderosa adobada quesadilla, one asada taco, one order of asada fries and a queso taco. We enjoyed the food so much that this is from now on our place for authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend!!! The young girl at the counter was so professional, courteous and so helpful that I had to ask what her name was but I don't remember it right now. ( young blonde girl ) super friendly, kind and full of smiles. The young cook was also so efficient and friendly!! Impressive! THANK you Tacos El Prieto!!! You exceeded our expectations by far ( your staff is amazing and proudly represent the business ) Bravo!!!

They had a beautiful display of their shrimp tacos with wonderful toppings. I was sold. I thought I had chosen a caterer that would elevate the taco experience. Everything they promised wasn't delivered from sending the wrong appetizers, flimsy plates to serve the food, NO toppings for the shrimp tacos, no signage saying the 3 types of tacos to choose from, etc. The gentleman and girls serving the food were friendly and professional, however they had no idea of what they were supposed to be serving. When I asked them, he just replied that's what they sent us with. I think Ricardo feels terrible, but after talking with him, he had no idea of what happened, like he did the sales, but whoever executes the food wasn't him. He did refund part of my fee, however, I have to warn others, because they really let me down, it's not something that can be fixed. Be careful if you use them.

    Bomb tacos. What else can I say?…read more We ordered carne and adobada meats. Both were so good. The carne is traditional carne asada. It had flavor and it was tender. The adobada was also tender and full of flavor. It was not spicy. The mula was bomb. The cheese was melted perfectly. The corn tortillas is where it's at. Fresh. This place is from Tj, now we don't have to go to TJ to get authentic tacos. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for TJ tacos at a great price.

I always go here because the food is great, but the staff is very rude. We ordered a lot of tacos and campechana through the drive‑thru and politely asked for three avocado sauces and the red sauce. When they brought our food to the parking lot, we noticed they only gave us one of each. I went inside to ask for more, but the ladies working there were extremely rude. They gave me attitude right away and asked, "Where's your order?" I explained that we ordered through the drive‑thru and I just stepped inside to ask for extra sauce. They kept saying "No puede, no puede," and talking in Spanish with attitude. Someone tried to translate, but they still didn't give me any real explanation -- just "no puede." We bought a lot of food, and getting only one sauce each is unreasonable. Their food is good, and customers love the sauces too. I hope they fix their staff's attitude because this location is very stingy compared to the one on Broadway, where they always give plenty. I usually let things like this slide, but this time I'm writing a review because the rudeness and lack of consideration were unacceptable. People would enjoy this place even more if the staff were kinder and more generous with the sauces. It's just sauce there's no need to be rude. I hope management reads this and addresses the issue. Thank you.
