No disrespect to anyone I gave this place a couple tries before I decided to write a review. i come from a traditional mexican background. I'm very familiar with traditional recipes.When it comes to mexican food. I understand some of these dishes may be altered to taylor more, to the American palate. With that said the only thing I can honestly recommend from this place. Are there soups. I tried their enchiladas.I try their fajitas and the dishes overwhelming plates full of glop. Overbearing sauce with tons of cheese and sour cream, and i'm not sure if the sauces are actually made from scratch or our ofna can for the enchiladas. I had the same waitress twice. It looked like she was upset, not very friendly at all. but it is what it is. My review is based on the food, but service should matter as well. I can see this place is very well established, and I'm sure the local people enjoy it for what it is. So to summarize for someone who doesn't live in San francisco would not recommend for anybody to drive out here and I am not coming back.

There are much much better places in the Bay Area than Gallardos, the burrito they have on the menu was quite disappointing with guacamole put on top of it?? (Does not make any sense)
In addition my friend and I got quite sick after eating here

Good, authentic Mexican food. Always busy. Good service. Friendly owner walks around and says hello with a handshake or waves from the stove.

I’ll be back! They serve food with fresh homemade tortillas, fresh salsa, limes, cilantro, and onion. The quesabirria is the best I’ve had by far in the bay. The cucumber pineapple agua Fresca was a delight. Don’t skip this spot!!

Stopped by this place on a Saturday afternoon. They have a nice streetside patio, calm but lively, perfect for a relaxed meal. The staff were all friendly and attentive, and the manager or maybe the owner was personally checking in with every table, which you don’t see often. Really solid customer service all around.
I went with the spinach omelette, a great option if you’re skipping meat. The portion was generous, and the warm tortillas on the side were easily some of the best I’ve had. You could tell they were freshly made.
It’s tucked away on a quiet, safe street with bike parking nearby, which worked out well since I rode over. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality and service. Overall, great food, good energy, and people who genuinely care about what they do. Definitely worth a visit.

11:30am on Sunday and no line. Plenty of spots open outside. Great parklet. Quick service. Some 'American' food options for picky eating toddlers. Live mariachi music which was great! Cash only.

Excellent breakfast burritos and chilaquiles for Sunday brunch! We really liked the cozy outdoor seating with lots of tables available. The omelets were solid but a bit over-fried. Pricing is excellent with most dishes under $12. Cash only.
