So freaking good. The horchata is on point and for brunch I got chilequiles which I could not stop eating even once I was full. This place rocks.
This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Seattle area. The vibe is like going back in time to the early 90s and walking into a home in the wall joint. Ask the artwork is by Frida Kahlo or inspired by her and Diego Rivera. It's family owned and the service is always wonderful. The drinks are fresh and yummy and the food is amazing and authentic. It's also very affordable which is hard to find around here these days.
Amazing food! Best restaurant guacamole I've had.

El Gallito is a family-owned Mexican restaurant located in Cap Hill that offers classic Mexican fare, with particularly excellent beans and rice. The food is made from scratch, making it stand out from other basic Mexican restaurants. The mole and carne adobada are flavorful and generously portioned, while the Cadillac Margarita, made with Gran Marnier, is worth the premium price. The chips and salsa are also a favorite among customers. The restaurant may not look impressive from the outside, but the interior is welcoming, and the service is friendly and accommodating, with many praising staff member Antonio for his excellent service. It is a reliable spot with a relaxed atmosphere, making it a great place for both solo diners and families. Many customers enjoy the tasty salsa and good lunch prices, and while parking can be limited in the area, the overall experience is enjoyable. El Gallito remains a popular choice for those seeking home-cooked Mexican food with a caring touch.
