Gallego's

One of the best Mexican fast food in my opinion quick service and friendly employees

I am now a regular great food, service and location!

Food is amazing..best refried beans in San Diego..wet burritos are amazing

This place has great food and is open late , you want good mex with little hassle at fair price? Here's your spot !

My favorite and only Taco Shop that I really go to it's in my neighborhood the customer service is excellent and it's inexpensive

Good food, great hot sauce and good customer service. Loved California burrito

Amazing food, large portions. But as they say in Spanish "tiene buen sazon!"

Hidden gem, great food and people. Highly recommended!

Love the chimichangas and Mojaras (fried fish) here.

Great service fantastic food very large burritos

Very nice people in I love there food

MY MOST FAVORITE TACO SHOP IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. #1 Caldo de Rez is the most nutritious and is enough for two people, I can Never finish it lol. #2 Gallegos Torta it’s SO FAT! #3 Liver and Onions SO SO Good for you with sprinkled lemon and salsa verde. My daughters love the HUGE CARNE ASADA FRIES AND ROLLED TACOS. This place makes me not wanna cook lol 😂

I use to live in this restaurant's location and was then and still is my favorite. I'll go out of my way to come here for their food and all the employees are quick and friendly.

It's a great place for original mexican cooking. Every body is so nice I've been eating at Gallegos for more than 7 years more or less. They treat you like family. You have to stop by and have a big bowl of menudo or caldo de res, it's the best

The best Mexican food around! I especially love their birria plate and their bomb tortillas that stay fresh and don't get hard. Service is excellent

Burritos are amazing I've tried them 3 times and it tastes like the first time every time. Come try it out you won't be disappointed.

Very good peoples, and even better food!

I been coming here for the last 13 yrs. Food is great in here. Specially cali burrito .. great size for the value i always recommend this place to my fam and friends

Very nice delicious food great service I come to this taco shop more than any other place a nice veriaty of different food so don't be shy. Plus I want the puhh

I've been going since I was a kid best carne asda Fries ever

Gallegos best place feels deliciously home made and it’s always been here in the hood . Portions are big and this place is just childhood . Try it !

I used to drive by this place for years never noticed it! Kind of tucked away. One day I stopped and now I come once or twice a week ..I would say top 10 in san diego. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!

This place is awesome! And very very clean! Great atmosphere , food is amazing!! Definitely a great place to dine in!

Excellent food and service. Can't wait to visit again and try new things on the menu.

I love the Tacos they make .If I feel like getting tacos I go there. I know you can get more than just tacos but that is all I get from there.

Great food, quality ingredients the carne asada is one of the best in San Diego. Customer service is really good.

House salsa is very spicy! The individual tacos are large and include a generous portion of meat.

The food is amazing and not to expensive and the service is good as well

The food is always delicious and very satisfying I had the carne asada fries delicioso

The best taco shop in SD. Cabeza tacos, Conga Burrito, Carne Asada Quesadilla and the Surf n Turf burrito are my favorites.

I've been bringing my family to Gallego's for the past 4 years this place is really the place to go for Mexican food. Two thumbs up!

Best Mexican food in City Heights. Great camarones dishes except they leave the shells on. It looks fancy but makes for messy eating.

The food here is just like another restaurant I frequent during the weekends. Service is excellent, and I only came here when AI found out that the other restaurant started closing on Sundays. Now, if I had to choose between this restaurant and the other one, I would have a hard time! Like I said, the food and service are worthy of a five-star rating. I may have to say that both are my favorite places to eat.

So good. Hidden gem spot for authentic mexican food

Another restaurant that satisfied my taste buds. It's similar to my other favorite, Mauricio's, in that the portions are exactly the same. The service was amazing, and the quality was just as good as it was at Mauricio's. I look forward to dining here again, for my visit was exceptional.

Checked out this review on google, was so sick and tired of the extremely expensive Mexican food in North Park (though it wasn't always that expensive) so I thought I'd find some authentic Mexican food down south, and came across this bad boy with my boyfriend. I got a California burrito with Rice and Beans, the lady at the register was very nice and I knew that with the medium time span I had to wait for my food, that I knew they were making my food with love and boy was I right. By far the BEST Cali Burrito Ive had in a LONG TIME. NO Grease leaking at the bottom, just excellent flavor! The burrito was pretty big that it left me and my bf satisfied. Everything was hot & the rice and beans were delicious. Definitely will be visiting again. Very pleased!

Despite the darkness of the lights being off over the dining areas I was in a hurry and hungry. Some of the specials signs were not all too clear to me regarding price and what it included so I ended up just getting a carne asada burrito. Which I have to say it was hot (heat not spice), juicy which you always want from a CA burrito and hit that spot that took me back to when I was a kid eating my first CA burrito and burning my hand because i always added too much salsa. The salsa both green and red were not spicy but they tasted great. This spot is 5 minutes from my job site so I'm definitely coming back. The server/cashier was nice. She spoke both English and Spanish. I didn't really pay too much attention to the actual location as I was in and out under 7 minutes.

This place deserves 6 stars! Best Mexican food in San Diego, all those fancy places ain’t got nothin on Gallego’s! Pollo Asado Chimichanga was killer! Can’t wait to try their breakfast!

Highly reccomend. Best cali breakfast burrito I've had in SD. Huge burrito, not greasy, meat tastes good, lots of egg, fries, and meat. Staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable considering the amount and quality of food

Great Mexican food. Their hash brown breakfast burrito is the best I’ve founded SD. The carne asada quesadilla is also a favorite. Clean atmosphere and huge portions. Very good. Gallego’s is one of the things I miss most about living in City Heights.

The Birria was on point. Good food for the price.

Great!!! Food!!! Great!!! Service!!! Great!!! Atmosphere!!! ❤️ Love this place ❤️

U can call ur order ahead of time like 15 min so when u get there ur food is ready don't need to wait in line I love there customer service always very friendly the owner when his there he will come out and check if everything is OK very humble over all I love these place and recommend 100% delicious food

I only had a few things here but what I have eaten it had always been very good. The Birria noodles are really good and flavorful. The Queso Birria tacos are good as well.

Excellent customer service, great food! My favorite plate is definitely the Garlic Shrimp!

We love Gallegos Mexican Restaurant! I've been a regular customer since 2008. I highly recommend it. Everyone is very polite, respectful as well as welcoming! (Their food it's delicious) Please help support small businesses!

I absolutely love the shredded beef chimichangas, Cali burrito and the Mojara (fried fish) comes with a salad , rice and beans.

Always busy. But great food. Can't complain !

Great food and service but a bit expensive if you ask me.

Excellent corner taco shop. Only deducting 1 star due to lack of consistency.

Good food but service could be better

Great food and really good portions. I had the fried tilapia and it was slightly over cooked but all in all great food. I will definitely come back and recommend to everyone.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent but the place was not very clean.

The food is realy good what I dont like is That it takes 15-25 mins waiting so is better to Order by phone

Been going there for 10 years! Love their chilaquiles and bistek ranchero 😋. Everything I Have ordered so far has been well done.

Really nice and smiling faces greet youat this place, the food is also good and reasonable prices.

Good food, prices reasonable. Once in a while the carne and pollo asada too salty.

The food is great, if a bit overpriced. The place looks small from the outside, but has a surprising amount of seating area. Ordering over the phone can be a bit of an issue, as I've had the person on the other end get distracted more than once and get my order wrong.

This is a great place for quick service they offer huge burrito's that are really good and not greasy. My personal fave carne assada w/fries (this meal can feed 2). Everything on menu is available for take out also. I have don't know why but they add a 50 cent charge if you use credit or debit cards that they don't charge if paying cash. Staff are friendly the place is clean. Hope my review gives you a good experience if you dine here.

Food is very delicious but the atmosphere is not that good. You can enjoy the food but barely enjoy the time spent there.

From the outside, it doesn't really seem like there would be a taco shop inside...I guess the inside is better than what you would think on the outside. There's quite a lot of seating here, there's a good menu at fair prices. The staff is nice and the food came out pretty quickly, but that depends on what you order and how many people are there. I only got a breakfast burrito, with beans, eggs, potatoes, cheese. They use fries, but seem more fresh cut that the oily type. For the price, it's a very large burrito, it can be hard to finish. If you dine-in, you also get chips and salsa. There are two types of salsa - a more green salsa with cilantro and onion, and a well blended dark red one. Both are pretty spicy. Overall, this is a good try for a filling meal.

Food little too much salt. Great customer service

Salsas are too hot Great service Menu is misleading I feel that customers are Misslead and management Hope's that customers won't Notice or complain.

Eat here at least once a week. Very good food but the in house dining experience is poor. Always mess up orders last time my son didn't get his burrito or drink. Plus our water glasses were disgustingly dirty! If you eat here i suggest you call in the order to go. Long waits as if they forgot about you. Besides the dine in experience food is great. Closer than BURRITOS SANTANA- gotta try that place its amazing its near el cajon blvd & 54th st

My friend brought me to eat last time!.. there camarones al mojo de ajo wore delicious!...i just don't know what happened today...the presentation was good but my shrimp wore plane.😞

More lettuce than meat in this roll tacos, la neta Basura don’t recommend no one here.

Show favoritism and Not friendly. Looked at me funny as if they didn't want blacks in the restaurant

It's all right I've had better, it at least it was served hot.

Service is poorly and long time waiting for the food to come a out no Customer service at all

I used to go for the milanesa de pollo. & this time was nasty. Looked like if it was heated in a microwave & cut the milanesa in half & did 2 plates. Place for me is X

There food is alright. I didn't like that the carne asada fries are smaller than any other place, yet it's almost $10. There customer service is good, but only when you're there. Once you leave, they will brush you away if you have a complaint.

I usually buy carne asada burrito n is very good, but the last one I buy was full of fat n nerves from the meat n salty

Ordered a mixed burrito with extra guacamole that I paid $2.50 extra for. They put dollops of guacamole at each end of the burrito so no matter which side I bit into there would be guacamole. As I ate more I realized there was just shredded beef and beans throughout the rest of the burrito but a dollop of guacamole at the unbitten end of the burrito. Burrito was supposed to come with tomatoes, onions and bellpeppers which it had none of. Check your order before you leave.

This was my favorite place until a few months ago quality and service are severely lacking! Got a burnt torta and called immediately to report problem (takeout) went in two days later to get problem resolved (restaurant not in my area of town) and they did nothing to try to keep this client. Very disappointed!

Gross food, we had a California burrito and a carne asada burrito, I told my son it was garbage and yes it was, on top of being nasty it was cold, I guess this type of food is delicious to the homeless or the drunks, an insult to Mexican food, looked and tasted like vomit

Bad service didnt get what asked for..asked again and lady said she was coming back with it she never came back we left & its Nasty i Found a bug on my salad. Not planning on going back there

This is so nasty I lost my appetite they should clean their restaurant

Change my credit card 2 time and they act like it's my fault smh never eat here again and the lady I talk to on the phn was very rude...

Try ordering from their daily special that is on their website which has a the prices, but when I placed my order they charged $2.00 more than advertised. They claim they just raised prices but have not updated website, it is the same story since March when I ordered. FALSE ADVERTISING and they DON'T HONOR the advertised price.

Dirty table's and sticky enamel is fading from wiping down clean. People visiting place are not Mexican so restaurant gets away with food it's serving and claimes to be a Mexican experience of veryety of foods from Mexico. The food is geto food. Frezer to microwave tortillas are hard be for you know it. Presentation is similar to a "Mexican restaurant" money wise $15.00 not bad , excerpt food is not worth it. Stik to a restaurant you know or so Wat normal pepole do if you want Mexican food go to restaurants that are not geto Mexican restaurants. I'll atmit I have stumbled on to good geto food. NOTE: I was younger and fast life I did not care who enterd the establishment wher i was having somthing to eat. This restaurant is not worth taking time to experience the stoped caring know it like a fast food.no Mexicans go the so know one knows Wat to complain about. Mexican food melts in your mouth and it freshly.

Mexican coca cola $3.00 are you kidding me , pico de gallo for an exiating ord3r they considering extra , $1.00 i said forget it this was my first amd last experience i will bring my business somewhere else

The food is really good here but the associated at the front are very rude and disrespectful. They made my chimichangas shredded beef and I asked for carne asada.Thw girl didn't even bother to apologize and corrected me that I asked for shredded beef with an extremely bad attitude, I was going to suffer to wait extra time. Therevwas also ti .i'mes where they have forgotten to put my food in my bag when I do to go orders.Really need to get good nice people to customer service and your business will grow even more .

The rolled tacos are good but overall it's sucks who puts sour cream and beans together like drinking water. You need to smash beans instead liquified beans ridiculous. The sauce aren't even fresh probably are more than a week inside the that fridge. It taste frozen. But what kind of chips don't have option to add salt smh. Plus the tables are made for a king but I don't feel like eating as a king. I'll rather go to Burger King , at least they give me a crown.

Used to love coming here and was doing so and recommending people to go here but now service is just completely awful and they have screwed up my order several times now got burnt carne asada on my Cali burrito. Never coming here anymore totally lost a really loyal customer I was coming here daily for lunch really disappointed me...
