Summertime is a good time for tacos on the boulevard. Tacos El Gallo has a great menu full of choices for all eaters. My little had chicken fingers and fries, mama had birria tacos and I got three street tacos. The condiment bar is so good for choosing your level of spice for pico and salsa. The food comes out quickly and fresh. You can dine inside or out, weather permitting. read more

A hidden neighborhood favorite! I got the Birria Pizza which was excellent and so unique. It serves 2-3 easily and was super flavorful. I loved that it came with a side of the soup for dipping just like classic Birria tacos would. We also tried the fried elote and I was really impressed with how tender the corn was! Not greasy at all. And of course we had to get a Mexican Coke! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. It's an order at the counter and then seat yourself system. There's only 5 tables inside, but the patio is fairly large considering the location. We took ours to go though since it's just a couple streets from my place. read more

The birria tacos were so good!! I really loved the flavor all around: the tortilla, the meat, the consome, the salsa diabla. The salsa is quite spicy but perfectly so to me. The order comes with a good amount of tacos (four) as they are on the smaller side but I don't think they could have been better. read more

Tacos El Gallo - Birria Tacos (comes with four) - Mexican Near Me - Mission, Kansas

The tacos were delicious that I wish I can eat those every day and my taste buds wouldn't be tired. However, the tamale was not very soft to eat but otherwise the flavor was good. The salsa and topping options were great including the option of pico de Gallo. On the bright side, the service was relatively fast since I only had to wait a couple of minutes to get the food after ordering at the counter. read more

Great food as always! It bares repeatedly repeating! Always great food and great service!

I'm a big fan of the original location on Southwest Boulevard, so I was excited to see the restaurant place it's second home in this Mission neighborhood. I'm a bit basic and mostly go with breakfast or tacos. It's not fancy, but it's a good solid meal served in filling portions. Some salsa from the condiment bar adds a little kick. The inside is small and can get cramped in a rush. read more

Tacos El Gallo has something to crow about - they have opened their 2nd location and first on the Kansas side. The gritty urban feel of their original is replaced with a sleek suburban stripmall feel - just the way Johnson County city planners insist. The ambiance may not be authentic, but the menu and recipes remain "muy autentico". My recent Saturday afternoon visit left me satiated with my trinity of barbacoa, asada, and pastor tacos topped with some pickled onions, spicy green sauce, and pico from the plentiful salsa table. For a few perfect moments I even forgot that I was in JOCO! Great stuff, great pricing. I also took home a 1/2 dozen tamales for my wife. She stated they were delicious, but I wouldn't know for sure since she ate all 6 within 2 days and refused to share. read more

I liked the first-rate service, the fairly reasonable prices and the good salsa heat options during my dine-in lunch at this new restaurant. The El Mexican plate ($9.99) was ready just five minutes after I ordered at the counter. It included three fresh, warm, double layer, 4.5" street tacos with generous amounts of my choice of nine protein options (shrimp and fish dishes are also available separately), along with rice, refried beans and access to a pretty good toppings bar with sour cream and several toppings and salsas of various heat levels from mild to salsa diabla. They did not offer complimentary chips & salsa. I found the staff to be cheerful, polite and professional, while the dining area was clean and basic. I also noticed the staff's focus on cleanliness during my visit - nice! The menu included breakfast, meals for the kiddos, aguas frescas, a soda dispenser, margaritas and various bottled beers. They also offered a patio area with music. Very nice! read more

The owner of this place is smart. She's managed to nestle not just one but two taco shops in locations where their arrival is greeted with joy and gratitude. That's impressive once, but twice? Savvy. We have settled on their carne asada burrito spread as our go-to to-go. Drenched in cheese sauce, but not fried like a chimichanga, because we keep it healthy (obviously). The team is nice, the outdoor seating is perfect for spring and fall, it hits lots of great notes for a small but mighty neighborhood institution. The one thing I would change would be the door handle. Having a push bar when you need to pull it open is confusing and we all together must demand better for society. Unless this is that seemingly nice woman behind the counter playing an elaborate prank on the rest of us, in which case, fair play you devilish genius. read more

Don't let the end of a strip mall and 4 indoor booths scare you! Outdoor seating is available and A LOT of traffic was to go orders. Food was fresh...street tacos were full...ordered asada carnitas and pastor...very good...wish barbacoa was an option...cold salsa bar was awesome!!!! Bought a bag of homemade tortilla chips to take home! Would definitely recommend read more

Very disappointed in the tacos, I order 7 different tacos to try. Asada, pastor and carnitas. Asada had absolutely no flavor. Pastor had 3/10 flavor. Carnitas had about 4/10 flavor. Very small tacos with barely any meat in them. Half a lime for all the tacos. Tacos and fountain drink came out to $23. Overpriced for what I got. Definitely won't be be back here for lunch. I Hope they fix their prices or cook the food better. I do not recommend tacos from here. They need to do better, giving tacos a bad name . Coming from a Mexican this was not it read more

My favorite taco place in town. I love the El Mexican because I get the beans and rice on the side which are delicious as well. Fun patio area outside. read more

I actually found this place on yelp. It's a quaint little place. Just like 4 tables inside, the do have outside seating too. I got the shrimp taco combo plate the tacos were very good as were the rice and beans. My wife had a couple carne asada tacos that were very good. The food was prepared fast and was very fresh tasting. The service at the counter (no table service) was fast and friendly. We will be going back soon. read more

We have fond memories of this place as Lalo's and miss him (and his food) dearly but I so welcome the newest addition to our neighborhood. The burritos Al pastor was smothered in cheese! It was so tasty. The portion was huge. I ended up splitting with my husband and we gobbled it all up. My son had the quesadilla and raved about the beans! He smeared the beans on top of the quesadilla and ate it that way. He also ate the entire cup of beans and rice. Good stuff. We also ordered frozen tamales for the next morning. They were sooooo tasty. Here's a tip-- If you don't want to steam, just wrap it with a damp paper towel and pop it in the microwave. It still comes out moist and not at all dry. Delicious. The sauce bar is excellent. I tried all the sauces and also saved some for the next day. I actually just mixed it altogether on whatever I was eating haha tasted good to me! My husband ordered the food there and said it was very busy!! They made the food quick and by the time he came home, it was still hot. It's also a small spot so if you're looking to sit down, I would recommend going either before 6 or after 7:30. There's also a breakfast menu that I'm really excited to try. I'll be back, for sure. read more

Why is this place so highly rated? The food is meh- boring and DRY. Go to KCK for some authentic street tacos. The service is just ok because they are simply polite. There is zero ambience. It's in a strip mall, ffs. I would have given another star, but the prices are a little steep for Mexican food. Less than mediocre Mexican, at that. Hell, if you want some good Tex-Mex and drinks, just go to Ponak's. read more

Quick service, workers were friendly. Tacos were not good. I love Carne asada tacos and these had no flavor and were very dry. Do yourself a favor and drive 10 min into KCK for Bonito Michoacán tacos. read more

Do not pass this place by without stopping. Staff very friendly. Portions very filling, large burrito, and get the homemade tamales - would give 10 stars on these. read more

The food is terrific authentic Mexican food. I'm a repeat customer and have never been disappointed.

Our go to spot for tacos and tortas. Horchata and Queso and chips to go with - so good!

So far the best Salvadori and food I've ever had In Kansas City Missouri. I lived in Las Vegas for 10 years and at that time I ate a lot of different South American dishes. read more

Their Carnitas burrito and their tacos are really good. DONT SLEEP GET IT WHILE YOU CAN !

Best Mexican around. This place has very great service and even better food. Really recommend trying it

We had excellent tacos. Also ordered the corn on the cob elotes which were delcious. They make a dessert with cream cheese filled churros with chocolate or strawberry sauce. Chose chocolate and then ordered two more to go. read more

Disappointing. I've eaten there a few times and it's not consistent. It's one of those places the more you eat there the more disappointed you get read more

Good food, quick service, outdoor space was enjoyable. Horchata was delicious! Definitely recommend!

We used to travel from Mission to Southwest blvd and Summit to go to Taos El Gallo. Now we have one in our own neighborhood! Life is good!

Any dish with Al Pastor filling brings real Mexican flavor to Kansas Citians. Chopped pork roast in a slightly spicy smoky sauce with a pineapple base is different than any Mexican food I am familiar with. I frequented the original in Missouri and I am excited to have one in Johnson County near my home. Taco El Gallo has two locations now. The original is on Southwest blvd and Summit in Kansas City MO. The new one is located in Mission KS at 5038 Lamar, just south of I35 .in a small strip mall. read more

Foods so good, very authentic Mexican food. That's very hard to find in the Midwest coming from Cali.

Our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Virtually no ambiance -- bright lights and sketchy picnic tables outside -- but the food is to die for.

No stars bro. Trash customer service, homie behind the counter was GHETTTO! birria was dry, consommé was missing something . The birria fries and the birria tacos are not it .. then they won't let u buy a taco by itself, you have to get the combo. Like WHO DOES THAT. So I had 4 BS tacos .. Tried to get a birria burrito, they said they can't do that because they're still figuring out the pricing . They are trash .. my bestie had the ramen. She said it was bland . 0/10, I don't recommend. read more

My boyfriend and I have been going here for months. We absolutely love it!! I recommend this place to all my friends and family. I love the tacos and queso is to die for!! We go a lot, there is a worker who isn't so nice who we've encountered with multiples times but other than the one girl everyone is so beyond friendly!! There other location is even better!! read more
