I dig Gallegos. 3 Crispy Taco's, A side of Refries and a Mexican Coke and I can almost close my eyes and imagine that I am down in Chula Vista about 5 miles from the border where you NEVER have say "No Rice" when ordering a burrito 🌯.

Oh my god. Finally found the best taqueria in the East Bay. The beef/carne asada was truly unforgettable. I keep trying to go back but closes so early. That’s how boss this place is. They know it.

Great food and friendly service. Loved this place since they were in the little building down the street years ago and the quality is just as great as always.

This place is really delicious, I’ve been coming here every other week for my lunch break and never disappointed. I love their traditional Mexican plate of burrito bowl and the chicken tacos!

This feels very retro and has its own charm of a restaurant. Gallegos is off the busy San Pablo ave, and they even have their own parking lot which is nice. The prices on the menu are really fair for the area, so you can’t resist great Mexican food at a decent price. I usually go with burritos, but this time I wanted to try their tacos. I got 2 al pastor, carne asada and fish taco. I admit that I thought the fish was Baja fish style, but it was still good. The rest of the tacos were good as well. Free chips and salsa comes as well for dining in. The salsa can be on the spicier side.

Gallegos serves excellent, authentic Mexican food. The service is friendly and it is heart warming to know that this family owned and run business is able to stay afloat during these challenging times. Please support Gallegos and have patience when they are busy. The food is worth the wait. We love you Gallegos!

Gallegos is nice. Food is about $8 to $15ish with the "specialty plates" costing the most. The fresh water is well, fresh and the watermelon is made with real watermelon, Not powder drink mixes. Came before the lunch rush barely any wait and food came right away. But at about 12:15 while I was finishing up a line formed to order. Only concern is (a free) small chip bowl costing $1 to get more.

This is a friendly and comfortable spot. It is one of my favorite places to watch sports, especially soccer. My friends from Southern California seem to think this is the most authentic taquria in west Berkeley. The plates and alacarte items are like home cooked meals. I feel like I am with family when I am here. The salsa is just right and the chips are worthy. The crowd is friendly and makes me feel welcome. I am always pleased when I eat here. The prices are fair for the portions and quality. The clean and comfortable environment makes it easy to like this place. It dose a good business at lunch and offers good horchata. The have good bottled Mexican beer and beverages. It feels like home away from home to the taco lover.

The food was so good I forgot to take a picture! I’m so happy we discovered this place. Apparently it’s owned by an elderly woman so it feels extra good to know we are supporting a family business. The service was great and the restaurant itself is lovely, inviting, and very colorful. Highly recommend!

Just had lunch here for the first time today—combo plate with chicken taco & enchilada roja, rice, beans and jamaica aqua fresca. Man oh man it was tasty! The enchilada sauce was delectable, and each item on the plate was delicious and well presented. These people prepare their food with love and pride.

I have been looking for a decent taqueria in the area. This one was a hit and totally worth a visit. I had a Carne Asada Burrito and my buddy had the fish tacos. We both left full and happy.

Order steak super burrito, mostly refried beans, pretty much a regular burrito with sourcream and guacamole, not super. My first and last $6.00 mexican coke. The burrito was still good, just close to $21.00 for both. They did throw a few chips and salsa for free...

Very good authentic mexican food. Waitress is courteous and patient. For the price, the food is delicious. I ordered the huevos con chorizo and it was tasty if not a little overcooked. Overall a satisfying experience. Will definitely come back again!

The food was okay service was all right the food is expensive they wanted $50 for two people and we only had two flautas rice and beans on each plate and two Mexican Cokes I think we should go to a real sit-down restaurant and get better service better food and better quality for Less Price I was not happy at all and that was our first time there I would not recommend

“The restaurant is really nice, but I witnessed some unethical behavior from the staff: dirty and poorly arranged tables, and a lack of hygiene during service. Although the place has a good atmosphere, these issues need to be addressed.”

Bought a burrito that was almost $8 and it was the size of my palm what is wrong with you people. I complain and told him this burrito is way too small they said no other Taqueria makes it bigger than us, ignorant response. I will never come back to this Taqueria until they have a regular sized burrito
