Gallo Blanco Cafe

Wanted to try something new and Gallo Blanco via Google reviews was chosen today. Highly rated with amazing photos of the food it did not disappoint...The only challenge was trying to find parking. On the actual lot there's probably 8 parking spots with an additional 6 spots on the street. You walk into the restaurant and notice beautiful art work throughout. High ceilings with the frame visible and multiple areas that show the brick walls. I'm assuming the restaurant used to be a church or maybe an old store front years ago. Lots of choices on the menu and today's choices were a carne asada burrito and the La Parradilla " family tacos. Starting with the burrito,great tasting crispy tortilla filled with carne asada. Overall it was a good burrito,carne asada was good. I'm still on the hunt for a GREAT carne asada burrito.. On to the family tacos this was truly the star of the meal. 2 types of meat,6 corn tortillas,charred onion, pineapple and yellow pepper. Meats chosen were the barbacoa and pastor. There's so much meat you could literally make about 10-12 tacos. Barbacoa had a nice light char,good flavor (for context Taco boyz barbacoa had a little more flavor and wet). The pastor had great char and flavor was there ( for context I would have to say that Los taquitos Pastor has more of an oven cook to it with a different flavor that ranks a tad bit higher. Overall a great spot hidden in a historic neighborhood surrounded by homes. A hidden jewel worth visiting and will return.

Happy hour is from 3-6 they have wine/beer and margaritas for $5. The wine wasn’t great, stick with the margarita The food was stellar- I had two alacart tacos- Al pastor and the puervo Colorado. Preferred the Al pastor but both were very good. Hubs said his burrito was ‘the best he’s ever had’ so there you go. We also shared some elote- very good. The person next to us ordered Pozole (HUGE portion) so we ended up ordering one to go for lunch the following day. It was outstanding. Service was super friendly as well.

I’ve been in Phoenix almost 4 years now and every now and then, my gf and I stumble across little spots like this one. We took her mom and our son for brunch and the reviews did not disappoint. Everything was excellent. So much so, my gf and I will be back for a date night to try other stuff on the menu. Can’t wait to try the cocktails too!

Well, this was unexpected. What a great find. Everything was delicious. The asada tacos were well seasoned. The pastor was not goopy and had great flavor. The pork belly had a nice crisp and the pickled onions on top balanced the sweetness. Both salsas were great but I preferred the green, sweet cilantro flavor and decent heat. The Tres Leches was a perfect way to end the meal. I’ll definitely be back to try more!!!

A friend refers to Gallo Blanco as his favorite Mexican restaurant in the Valley, and now that I’ve been here I understand why! The tacos were utterly phenomenal (the pork belly was insane 🤤) and the cocktails were amazing. Huge shoutout to David for being such a fun bartender! Will definitely be back.

I used to live three houses down and grew up coming to the American Way market for 25c fudgecicles and orange fanta bottles. I was bothered at first by seeing this old neighborhood “gentrified” or what have you. But on my first visit to Gallo Blanco, everything felt familiar. The other people in the restaurant felt like locals, not tourists. The food was traditional but not. There were some twists on Mexican staple foods, but the taste and the experience felt like being in the dining room or backyard of one of my friends houses eating Nana’s chilaquiles and tacos. A properly executed restaurant curates an experience. And that’s exactly what the crew at Gallo Blanco does. They serve up delicious meals and the feeling of Nana’s kitchen.

I visited what has become my favorite place to go for breakfast, El Gallo Blanco! The service was great. The staff is amazing, always serving with a smile. and the food is so tasteful and authentic! It is a pleasant surprise to find true and authentic flavors from México! Ask for the secret menu items!
