El Gallo Loco: Reviews & Ratings

Best homemade food in town. Except the owners aunt is very rude. They want to charge for water. Oklahoma law prohibits water charge. If you bring your own water this lady shames you.

To be honest, I did not go in or eat there. I just loitering in the parking lot for 30 minutes. Sadly I didn't even get a "loitering" coffee. I mean a latte. Man I miss Barnes and nobles..........But onto the review! The parking lot was pretty good, very busy though. Guess that just means they are popular, which in turn means they are pretty good.. so I'm gonna go by what I could see and smell from the parking lot and say, hold up, the person I came to meet just showed up............

The food is decent and worth the price of entry, the location is rather small and doesn't accommodate large groups of people and the tables are close and older, but what do you expect from a small local business? It does what it sets out to do, that being make tasty Mexican food at a decent budget. I prefer to take home, but despite what I said about the space feeling small I don't mind eating in from time to time. Worth a visit for the food.

Visiting from out of town and was hesitant to eat Mexican food in Tulsa. Ordered tacos: tripas (extra crunchy), asada, buche, and a mango agua. We ordered the "spicy salsa" instead of what they regularly serve. Food was good

Authentic Mexican restaurant. Staff is very cordial, big serving plates and variety of dishes. The dish included 2 entres and 2 sides. Hand made tortillas at the moment you order.
