Take a ride back in time when entering this border style restaurant that has been bringing authentic Mexican food to Austin for over 50 years. Low level Tejano music helps contain the atmosphere. The walls show off historically significant murals with warm, dark, colors and red Saltillo tiles truly bring the old world sense of decor into the 21st century. By being directly across the street from St. Edwards, this location has been a favorite of students and parents alike but patrons come from all over town, including the eastside. Plates are large and most options are combination plates offering a taste of many selections, including surf and turf.
Message from El Gallo:
For the 50 years our family has been pleased to serve Austin, we have always strived to bring our patrons fine food. We pride ourselves in using the very best ingredients, combined in recipes from our native Mexico. Every dish is expertly prepared & served quickly and courteously. You may come to El Gallo because of our hard-to-find specialties including 50's style Tex-Mex enchiladas or for the light lunches, served from 11am to 2:30pm Tue-Fri every week. Perhaps you enjoy the mariachis who perform during dinner, or our outdoor seating on the patio. But we like to think it's a unique blend of great food, excellent service & fun atmosphere that will bring you here for the first time and will bring you back again and again! Banquet & On-Site Catering services and To-Go orders are available for your special event or office party. We hope you'll agree that "El Gallo es especial."
