Gallito Taqueria - Tampa

Lakeland location in The Joinery A second visit and repeat order of the pork carnitas quesadilla with salsa roja and puffy tacos have solidified their place for our Taco Tuesday date night meal. Our tastebuds have only experienced consistent entree execution. When the entree is the delicious, edible star of the menu, a combo option is just a bonus.

Waterfront views and tacos… not a bad combo! The some of the tacos were a tad too salty for my tastes and the others I would have to give it a full lime wedge squeeze to add some moisture to the protein. I’m a big fan of their street corn, make sure to give it a good stir! The wait can get a little crazy depending on if there’s an event happening or not at Sparkman Wharf but they come out at a reasonable time. Lots of parking across the street or garage.

Okay so Gallitos has been one of my favorite places to eat for a while now and it 's always delicious, but I ate some of their tacos again today for lunch and was just like 'DANG HOW ARE THESE THIS GOOD ' because they really are just that good! Blown away! And I really just wanted to tell someone how much I loved them so I 'm writing this...just...incredibly yummy, guys, and deceptively filling for the size, too! Everyone who works there is SO kind and friendly, and their service is really fast (and has even I feel gotten faster since my first visit). I usually stick to their tacos because they 're so delicious, but a month ago or so I had their street corn and their queso and again, just impressed. Everything 's great. Go check it out if you haven 't had the chance!

Forget everything else in the menu. You HAVE to get the Quesabirria tacos! It is hands down the best thing there. We have tried the fried fish, shredded beef, grilled mojo chicken and puffy tacos. The are really good. Great flavor. But the Quesabirria tacos. Are top! Their sangría is good. If you buy anything alcoholic here, it will be a bit cheaper than at the Lighthaus Beer Garden.

We tried for lunch today and was so happy with our food. The employees were very polite and pleasant. We tried all of the tacos. Everything was delicious. The pork taco were probably my favorite. Everything tasted fresh and you could watch them make everything to order.
