Reviews Mi Gallo Giro

Great little hole-in-the-wall; Fiance heard about it from a work acquaintance in Longmont. They said to get tacos. First time we tried to check it out, we were surprised to find it's hours are 'til 3pm (and closed on Sunday), so we returned a few weeks later. We wanted to try several meats / tacos, but were told we couldn't get just one taco of each meat (there are 15 meat options, but we were hoping to get 3 tacos per person to try 6 meats / have a bunch of different flavor options)...we settled on 3 meat choices: asada, barbacoa, and chicken. 6 tacos and 2 Mexican (cane sugar) Cokes came to about $27. It was 100° outside, and although it was cooler in the shade, we opted to take them home to the comfort of AC while we dined. I'm certain they're even more fabulous if eaten immediately, but we'll find that out another time. All tacos were full of fresh vegetables, and they gave us several ramekins of the orange (spicy) and green (unspicy) salsas. The green was a little flavorful. The orange just burned in the back of the throat without adding noticeable flavor, so we stuck with green. Barbacoa was the best, by far. My fiance usually favors Chicken, but didn't eat half of it. Neither of us cared for the Asada (was dry), which was the only one that didn't have refried beans (which weren't specified to be on the tacos at all, but added great flavor and moisture in every bite). We would go back to try more, but it may be a while because they close at 3pm, and the stipulation to get 2 or more of each taco to try the different meats.. it's understandable, but inconvenient.

Had an "Alex" breakfast burrito at 7:10 on a Tuesday morning. Fast service, exceptionally kind people, and the food was great! Will be recommending to others for sure. Kind of hidden away - you might miss it. It is tucked back between other buildings with minimal signage. Use the frontage road.

Best breakfast and lunch burritos around! Very friendly staff and quick service.
