Los Gallitos - Fort Bragg

The best menu item I've ever had! But it didn't have a homage, but we were okay with this lol. Colorful and fun atmosphere. Service was a little slow, but it was very busy, so we understood. Vampira also drank from the hook.

Oh. My. Goodness. This place is amazing! My hubby and I stopped in on our way from the glass beach to Sacramento and enjoyed the best Mexican food ever! Service was awesome and the food was DELICIOUS! If you don't get anything else, you have to try their tacos.

We had a lovely early dinner here this week. I had shrimp tacos flour tortillas, Vern had a good chili Rellano. Terrific Horchata!

It was fairly busy when we arrived just after 6 pm. Then it got even busier. A lot of takeout orders from people just off work. Fortunately there was a table for five available immediately. Food was delicious but it was so loud it made conversation difficult. Most of that came from a few exuberant patrons at the bar.

When I tried the chips here, I cautiously dipped one into the salsa, hoping I wouldn’t regret it. To my surprise, it was pleasantly mild, and the chips were delicious. I went for a full dip, and my expression was one of pure shock at how perfect it was! Fresh, flavorful, and with a great texture—there was no need for excessive spice to mask a lack of flavor. I can confidently say I’ve never had salsa this perfect! (I’m not a fan of extremely spicy food, so if you are, you may feel differently, but I loved it!) Next came the guacamole, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. My face lit up with awe after that first bite! It had the perfect combination of flavor and spice, with fresh avocado and diced tomatoes. All I wanted to do was grab more chips to scoop up the guac and salsa! The chips were thicker and wonderfully crispy, and they might even make them in-house. They were excellent! Then the water arrived, and after a hesitant sip, I smiled again. It was simply delightful—no unpleasant taste, just refreshing and enjoyable, with a low mineral content that made it easy to drink. The restaurant had a fantastic authentic atmosphere, a quick kitchen, and very friendly staff. The music was at a pleasant volume, and despite it being a Tuesday night, the place was buzzing with happy patrons. Oh, and the food was outstanding too! (Just a little extra tip for you!)
