After introducing my wife to the train wreck that is Swap-O-Rama in Alsip, southbound on Cicero we went in search of a place to eat lunch. After about a mile we came to El Gallo Tapatio.

If you order at least $3.00 worth of food you’ll get an unsalted basket of chips that have a nice crunch to them. Extra chips are $1.00 per basket more. The accompanying pico de gallo is hotter than most. Additionally, there is a mild salsa and a smokey/ashey-flavored salsa. Both of these are in squeeze bottles.



The steak burrito came to be an excellent value and was very good overall. Beans, lettuce, cheese, and tomato along with two pieces of non-offensive fat rounded out the filling. Nothing spectacular, just a good meal. If you’re in the area, give it a shot.
