Taqueria Los Gallos: The Sit-Down Taqueria on Central Avenue

Taqueria Los Gallos is the taqueria you sit down in. It's at 13070 Central Avenue, in the middle of downtown Boulder Creek, and it serves tacos, burritos, and the rest of the standard order in a plain dining room rather than at a window.

That distinction is worth making because the town's other Mexican option, El Rey Leon, is a food truck parked further down the same street with outdoor seating. Los Gallos is the indoor one. On a wet February evening that's the whole difference.

Ordering, and the two locations

The same owners run Taqueria Los Gallos in Boulder Creek and the taqueria of the same name in Scotts Valley. If you're ordering through an app, the delivery listing that reaches a Boulder Creek address from the Boulder Creek kitchen is on Uber Eats. The DoorDash listing under that name is the Scotts Valley location.

Los Gallos and River Dogs are the only two Boulder Creek restaurants that any delivery app carries. Everything else in town is pickup or a table.

Hours

Open every day at 8:30 a.m. Monday through Friday it serves until 8:45 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday until 7:45 p.m. That makes it one of the latest kitchens in town, and one of the few places serving anything at all before 9 a.m. Hours change, so call 831-217-5000 to confirm before a special trip.
