El Galante Mexican Grill

El Galante is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants in Concord! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned—every dish tastes like it’s made with care. The chips and salsa are a great start, and the portions are more than generous. The service is quick and super friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, perfect for a casual lunch or a fun dinner out. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, El Galante never disappoints!

I've lived in the area for a few years now, and I have been searching for this kind of spot!! This is, without a doubt, my new favorite restaurant in the Concord area. The atmosphere is welcoming and spacious, and the service is friendly and VERY diligent. The food is fresh, authentic, and absolutely cooked to perfection. I can't remember the last time I had THIS kind of experience at a restaurant!! I can't wait to come back! 1000/10

El Galante Mexican Grill is now one of our favorite spots to visit! The food is excellent and full of flavor, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. We love how the cooks wave at you as you walk in—it adds such a personal touch. The Mexican music playing in the background creates a fun and authentic atmosphere. While we miss Punchy’s, we’re really glad to have this great new restaurant in town!

Really good margaritas & the atmosphere was awesome. The staff were very friendly & the food was excellent. Very reasonable price & good portions.

We totally enjoyed our experience here. I was leary at first, but we said let's give it a try. It was excellent! I had the chicken, cheese & rice (ACP), my wife had the steak, cheese & rice. Both very good and plenty enough to take home for lunch the next day. The nachos & queso were very good. I also got a crispy beef taco on the side, just to try their ground beef. It was very good, will get more than one next time. They have an extensive menu. We'll be going back to try some different items. Can't go wrong here. The wait staff were friendly and excellent. Plus they give military discount!

New Spot! Loved it and will definitely be back! It was a cold day so the seafood & chicken soup were ordered, and they didn't disappoint. Hubby got the torta and to his surprise he got some good hot crispy fries on the side. Can't wait to visit and try something else! ♡

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and had a great experience! Service was great, food came out quickly and was delicious, prices were very fair, restaurant was clean. And we always love when you get free endless chips and salsa! Salsa was mild but we got spicier options upon request. Also got strawberry churros to go which were great! If we lived in the area we’d be coming again!

Exceeded all my expectations. Food was remarkably delicious and great portions. Service was top notch. Very friendly and genuine interactions with all staff even from the kitchen they were smiling and greeting us as we walked in. First impression was outstanding. Will most definitely be coming back more often!!!

Best REAL Mexican in Concord!!! The guacamole is insane. There is full bar, great music and the service is fantastic!!! Also, prices are reasonable!!!

The food was amazing! We have FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!! Our waitress was Genesis & she was extremely kind, courteous & attentive!! Everyone is kind and friendly!!! The food is AWESOME, delicious & quick service!! 5/5 stars definitely a place to visit when you are in area!

We were curious to try this place after Punchy's closed down. This is a very good, authentic Mexican restaurant. Hubby ordered the Chicken Quesadilla/Fajita that includes peppers and onions and it was fantastic. I ordered the Birria Tacos and it was awesome! The complimentary chips and salsa are definitely made in-house. We highly recommend this place.

Wow!! Very happy with our family lunch today. I had the Diabla Torta, a sandwich with chorizo and steak. Full flavor and amazing! Will definitely be back!!

We have driven by here several times and decided to give it a try. The restaurant was very clean and bright. We were seated right away and check on frequently. The staff was excellent! They treated us with respect and had genuine smiles. (a smiling staff tells a lot about how a restaurant is managed). The menu has a lot to choose from and the price for our dinner was very reasonable. This is going to be our go to Mexican restaurant.

If you like Mexican food, don't walk.....RUN! This is one of the best restaurants I have been too. Food portions are large and still have good prices. Staff is very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Very comfortable atmosphere, great for a family/friend get together or even for a more intimate dinner.

Best Mexican food I have had in a very long time! Everything we ordered was full of flavor and high quality. One of my kids does not eat Mexican food but he was very impressed with their burger and fries. This is our new go-to for Mexican food. Worth driving past 10 others to get to this one.

Ordered the ACP thru an Uber Eats promotion that was buy one get one free. After placing the order and double checking the Uber Eats app I noticed that there was only one order of the ACP on the receipt, so I call to ask what was going on and was told that the promotion was no longer available. After I explained that the promotion was still showing on Uber Eats and that I had already paid and would be charged for cancellation, I was told that I would have to pay for the other ACP. Told the person on the phone that it's completely unfair to me as I had already paid and was expecting 2 ACP's. After going back and forth with this person, and them trying to get me to give them $5 for the plate, they finally agreed to give me the second one for free like it was supposed to be. Thought it was over and done with but I was wrong. When the food arrived it was 2 plates of only refried beans and chicken. ACP... Arroz con Pollo... rice with chicken. Not beans with chicken. To whoever the person I was on the phone with... GFYS.
