Tequila Taqueria is one of those typical hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants that serve authentic, delicious Mexican food. They're located right next to Peet's Coffee & Tea in downtown Livermore, across the street from the Post Office. I've only ordered one item from their menu and it's so good, I don't even think about trying something else...it's the Super Burrito Al Pastor! Yes, I have finished one of these hugigantimongous burritos...but I was REALLY hungry! ;)

Tonight was our first visit to El Charro Taqueria and it was a pleasant experience. The ambiance was better than your run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant and they even have outdoor seating.

We tried the taco salad al pastor and the shrimp fajitas...both were delicious and filling (what Mexican food isn't?) The taco salad was filled to the top with goodies and the shell was crispy and fresh. The fajitas came with 6 shrimp and the typical accompaniments like red, yellow and green bell peppers, grilled onions, beans and rice.

Room for improvement: the shrimp could have had more flavor, as they were a little on the bland side. I added some salsa to my fajita tortilla filled with shrimp, peppers, onions, beans and rice and that made it taste pretty good.

This is your typical hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant with cheap, good eats. It's located downtown, right next to City Hall and the fountain. Parking is scarce but there are only 8 tables anyway, so a lot of people get take-out. A lot of Mexicans eat here and I was referred to this place by a Mexican, so my expectations were high...and Los Gallos did not disappoint!

After being a Carnitas fan, I discovered Tacos Al Pastor here...and I've never went back since! D-E-L-I-S-H!!! I've tried several different restaurants in the area and none can come close to Los Gallos' Al Pastor.

5 stars for having the BEST Al Pastor I've found in the Sacramento area. Service sucks, but again, that's pretty typical of a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant, so I'm docking only 1/2 star for that. The chips and salsa are a disappointment, so that's another 1/2 star deduction.
