    OUTSTANDING!  Words can't describe how tasty the tacos are here.  The ones that stood out was the tripa, buche. and lengua.  They were all so flavorful.  The lengua was so tender.  And the tripa had a nice crispy texture to it.

    The service was great and the cashier was very friendly.

    The Jamaica drink was also delicious.  I can't wait to go back again soon!

    About as good as street tacos get.

    What really steals the show here is their salsas. The red and green they have in squirt bottles are fine, but the avocado one is just beautiful and simple, making it a great compliment to any of their items, and the hot one (bright red and served with the ladle) is absolutely delicious. It's complex, vibrant, and provides and excellent spice level to anything it goes on.

    The meats are the flavorful and nicely grilled, with the asada being better than the pastor in my opinion, but both being very good. The corn tortillas taste simple and fresh and are doubled up (as they should be).

    I do wish they didn't charge for taking extra salsas to go, though I can admit that if they didn't, I might take quarts of the stuff home.

    Quickly becoming one of my go-to places any time I don't feel like cooking.

    This is a place you don't really hear about but everyone should know about!!
    I had their Al Pastor & Carne Asada street tacos and a horchata which was all decently priced!!
    $1.50 for each taco
    And $3.00 for a 32oz horchata  TAKE MY MONEY!!

    "I could eat six thousand tacos in one day! Can we set up this challenge and actually see how many tacos I can eat before my tummy hurts?" - said me to my husband after inhaling lunch tacos at El Gallo.

    Bilingual staff took our picky order (no onions, yucky) pronto right when you enter the front doors. Orange igloo full of cool water on tap. Get your number, seat yourself, admire all the international items you can purchase right here in KC (even hemorrhoid creams), hear your number called, pick up your baskets, head directly to the Salsa bar for extra spicy carrots/salsas & consume.

    Quick, easy, yummy, patio seating, casual ambiance, street parking, debt cards accepted ... what more do you need? Y-U-M!
