You can imagine how happy I was to see a Taqueria in Ward Village. Just had to stop in and try all of their Tacos. First off I need to taste their Salsa. For me a good indicator of great Mexican food is the Salsa. The Taqueria El Gallo Rosa Salsa is bland. Not much going on and no heat. The Tacos all looked great and the meats had some nice flavor.
We tried the Pastor, Carne Asada, Fried Fish Taco, Pork Carnitas and Birria Tacos.
The Fish Taco was drenched in what tasted like straight mayonnaise with lime juice. More like a mayonnaise Taco rather than a Fish Taco. The fish was fresh and tasty after removing the thick batter. My favorite of all the Tacos was the Carne Asada. The Tortillas are good and I like that they don't have to double up on them to hold the fillings. I asked for hot sauce and was given a medium and hot. In all my life visiting Taco Shops, I have never seen Salsa like this. They were mostly oil and dark. The medium sauce was oily and I really didn't get much flavor or heat. The hot sauce brought the heat but it too was also oily. All in all my Wife and myself were not too impressed with these Tacos. My Wife said she would never come back. What makes me not want to return is the Salsas and hot sauces.
