Best WLM Reviews

I photographed (@seanevansphoto) some delicious food at Taqueria El Gallo de Oro. I tried the Birra Tacos, and they were very good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Quesabirria Tacos or diner is why will start process of naturalization to be Mexican ???? Food are amazing , must try
Second time going there and food is great!!
We've dined in twice and service was fabulous. Very attentive and quick.
Got the quesabrilla taco dinner & partner got an al pastor burrito. We also got chips and salsa
The chips were okay, needed salt. The salsa was delicious and had a little kick. The tacos were DELICIOUS crunchy cheesy juicy. The consume was great and so was the rice & beans. The burrito was PACKED with meat!!! Super tender and tasty!
Definitely enjoy this place and the food.
5/5, would recommend
Authentic Mexican ???????? food ????.
This squirrel ????️ went here before a Allstate show. We had a great dinner at a great ???????? price. I would rather visit a true Mexican restaurant than one of the big fake chains.
Taco Dinner - Birria, Steak, Pork
Burrito - Steak so juicy
Horchata the size of my head.
The beans are even good.
Best taco place around.
I'm embarrassed to say I've ate here 4 times within 2 weeks. It took me a while to find my favorite neighborhood taco spot, (down town des plaines) but this place did not disappoint! I got the steak tacos, generous amount of meat, good flavor. I also tried the pork, also very good. Love love the sopes. Typically for me if a place has good tacos there rice and beans seem to be mediocre, however they were one of my favorite things I ate from here, very flavorful, and delicious. I don't leave reviews, however a girl loves her tacos, and these were delicious, I had to spread the word, to my fellow Mexican food lovers ❤️
Great flavors, good portions, quesabirria dinner is super good, call in advance, takes 25- 30 minutes, worth the wait!
Quesadillas and Quesabirrias both taste legit and ... they sound the same :) if you want the sauce(yes you want the sauce) with the Quesabirria, be sure to order the dinner! Soooo yummy... now soooo full! See y'all again soon!
