Los Gallos Taqueria - Lincoln, California

Lillian

This tiny restaurant next to the Beermann plaza can be easy to miss. From the outside the exterior looks like a little house. But they are a family ran taqueria serving up traditional, classic Mexican dishes. Overall, it's a solid dining option when I find myself in Lincoln.

The interior is smallish, with a dining area with about six 4 person tables and two 2 person tables. It's cozy for sure. I popped in for a late mid afternoon weekend lunch, so it wasn't busy.

The complimentary chips tasted and looked fresh fried. Crisp yumminess without the oiliness. The red salsa was delicious; flavorful with a bit of non spicy kick. The cerviche tostada was fantastic. Yum. Fresh flavors. It was a bit wet though, so I put a napkin underneath to soak up the wetness to slow down the tostada from getting overly wet and falling apart. The cerviche tostada was $5.99. The shredded beef in the crispy taco had good basic flavor. The one item combo with beans and rice is priced at $10.99, two items $12.99, and three items $14.99.

This place completely meets the definition of a great hole-in-the-wall eatery. Please don’t let the humble location and unassuming facade deter you from some of the best Mexican food in the area.

The food is just flavorful, authentic, and just down right good. Their tacos are so good, burritos just the same, but don’t you dare not try the enchiladas!

The food was alright. It was definitely not something to rave about. We tried tacos, torta, ceviche tostada, and flan. The only thing that was worth a shout out was the ceviche. It was pretty great, but everything else was just okay. The restaurant was tiny, so we felt awkward talking amongst our table. There was also no salsa bar. They did bring out a small serving of chips and salsa, which was good but nothing special. The prices were a little on the high side as well.

Everything is delicious here and reasonably priced. The ceviche is my favorite; hard to find fresh well made ceviche with fish. We’ve been cooking here 10 years maybe. We have used them for catering as well which I will do again. The staff have great customer service skills on the phone and for dine in. This is our go to for a Friday right night. Appreciate this little gem in Lincoln.

Don't know about the food as we didn't stay for that but the racing seemed to be very well organized and the kids had a blast! There were different sized cars for kids and adults and races were either groups of kids or older kids/adults, they do not race together. Instructions and helmets are provided.

My Pop's and I go frequently for their menudo. Very good and exceptional portion/price. Highly recommend. A very small dining area, but it adds to the charm.

A little gem on a side street in downtown Lincoln California. We were going to some other restaurant when we said let's try this. What a pleasant surprise. Only 6 tables (4 in use due to covid) but great food at very reasonable price. And so.e if the best coffee we have had in a while. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. A nice surprise on a Sunday morning

We order few burritos and surprise. We are Mexican we expect good food. Asada burritos only rice and meet no cream or beans the salsa only tomato. No going back to this place. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽😤
