Reviews for Taqueria el Gallo Loco in Sandy, UT
I ordered the nachos supreme with no meat and it was embarrassing to look at. I can’t believe anyone would serve this,... especially for $13! I got like 10 chips and half of the plate was lettuce. In reality it’s a third the size of a nacho plateat best. I hope nobody else gets ripped off by this place. Read more
Pretty much the epitome of a hole in the wall Mexican place. It's so hard to find a good Mexican place, and this one is worth... going back to. Great street tacos, especially the birria tacos. A little more expensive than some other places, but the qualityof meat is noticeably better. Everything we tried was great with one exception - don't order the fried fish taco. It wasliterally a fish stick in a tortilla. Everything else was good. Service was fine - it's such a small place I don't think theyreally need a server, there was one server and she basically just brings the food from the order counter to your table which isabout 5 ft. Overall the food was better than most- I would definitely come back. Read more
STOP everything and GO!! I’ve only been here twice now but that was twice this week. I went myself and then I had to take my... wife back for our date night. I’m gluten intolerant so I got the enchiladas. I got el pastor, shredded beef, and Carne. Theel pastor was my favorite. Each sauce has its own very unique flavor. Each meat also has its own flavor. Unlike somerestaurants where everything tastes kind of the same. The first time I went I was extremely hungry after snowboarding and I wasseriously slapping my leg and moaning the first 10 bites. The second time I was almost as impressed. Salsa - When I went forlunch I was given chips and salsa with one salsa. It was so unique. It was absolutely delicious. But I hesitate to describe itbecause I don’t know if I can do it justice. It looks still have carrots in it which sounds disgusting but it was incredible. When I went for dinner with my wife we were given three salsas with our chips. Two salsa Verde‘s and the same one I was givenat lunch. Chips - their chips taste very fresh and I assume they make them fresh on site. Sauce - they have a green and a redenchilada type sauce that goes over the burritos or enchiladas. They do half on one side and half on the other. It is absolutelyincredible! Super complex flavors and fresh taste. Beans - The beans are amazing. They aren’t too runny but they aren’tjust a blended up slop of thick mess. Thick enough you can eat with a fork, but just barely. Is there a word for beans like ElDante is for noodles? That’s kind of how I would explain the bean when you bite into it. Not dry and crunchy but not justmushy. Without hesitation I will say this is the best Mexican food I have ever had. A close second would be Oscar’s tacos inSan Diego California and some place I ate at in Mexico. I give it a 9 out of 10. They put these purple or red onion things onsome salad on the side of your plate. My Mexican neighbor makes those onions a much better so that’s why I give it Read more
I read a few of the reviews before I posted mine. Seems weird to give somebody a one-star review when you don't read the menu... and you're surprised by the prices. I've been here many times including last night. My wife and I had two awesome meals with acouple appetizers and we were out the door for $42. I felt like we got a lot of food for what we paid. Every time we come herewe feel like we are actually in Mexico. The food is very good and feels a lot like restaurant we have visited in Mexico. Theyalways do a very good job with the presentation of the food. My wife commented that if they had a nicer location they couldeasily charge twice as much for their food. The quality of the food, the presentation, the flavor, the quantity, all of it isvery very good. Read more
No military discount. Got the full chicken. Some parts were better than other sides, little hard for me to rate only because... it wasn't seasoned all around. Like the fact ot had onions, but they need to work on seasoning the whole chicken. Rice wasawsome, beans were runny, tortilla was good. Over all 4 out of 5 only because it was ok. Not perfect, but ok. Read more

¡Muy rica la comida aqui! The food is very good here. Nice ambience (cool cheese grater lights) and extremely helpful and... kind staff and owner. If you need something just ask Ariel and it will be taken care of quickly. I highly recommend you trythe specialty drinks like mango, horchata, jamaica and tuna. All are delicious and make the meal complete. For me the chickentacos were the best. Read more
