El Gallo Giro - Memphis

Hidden Gem. This Mexican restaurant, many would say, is in a rather shady part of town. There are few choices left in the warehouse district to enjoy a nice lunch, but despite the location, El Gallo Giro is one of the best Mexican spots in town! The food is always hot, fresh and quick. The next time you find yourself stuck near the airport around lunch, drop by! They are located between Winchester and Getwell on Lamar (78).

Quick and friendly service, priced well, huge portions, great salsa and large basket of tortilla chips, tastes freshly put together and well seasoned. Recommend highly!

Best Mexican food I've had in a very long time. The steak/asada was perfect. The enchiladas were flawless. This place reminded me of my childhood eating my grandmother's food and visiting mexico as a kid. It's even better than a lot of places I've had back home in California. I would definitely recommend and revisit.

Love this place. A Mexican friend of mine told me about this place back in 2002. He said they had really good burritos. So one day for lunch I went with him to make a burrito run. All I can say is they have the best burritos I have ever had. The things are fat and loaded, they must weigh about a pound or two. I've had the steak and chorizo burritos, both are amazing as well as the chorizo tacos. May not be in the best part of town but it's worth trying. I go just for the burritos and tacos.

Can't argue with authentic.. Discovered this place on urbanspoon, I wouldn't recommend it after dark, but during the day it's good food, good service and reasonable pricing.
