Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Pretty good basic Mexican food. Nice red sauce! But nothing to write home about.

I love the traditional bacon, egg and Green chile breakfast burrito. Consistent, reasonably priced, and great staff. Always my go to for a quick & great bite. My lazy ass is waiting for a drive thru location:)

Gallup overflows with Mexican food restaurants but this seldom discovered Mexican food gem will not lure you from the road unless you have prior knowledge because Alicia's lies hidden along on the town's segment of old Route 66 in the back of Lowe's, one of the town's main chain grocery stores. It is the locals that keep Alicia's hopping at breakfast and lunch. Even town folk who have never chomped into one of her excellent burritos or applied fork to one of her piping hot combo dishes are likely familiar with the cafe's tongue biting jalapeno enriched salsa always available fresh by the pint next to the refrigerated flour and corn tortillas in the back of the store.

Great tasty food. Their menudo is terrific, savory and filling. Great on cold blustery days -- or anytime. Family owned and operated, they know their customers. Everyone is personable. The atmosphere is very casual (it is, after all, at the back of a grocery store). And they just raised their prices for the first time in 2 years. Authentic food, rapid service, clean setting, good people. One of my favorite places to eat in Gallup. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Alicia's is hard to find if you're not a local (inside the Loews grocery store at Route 66 and Ford Canyon Dr), but the food is very good. Everything is made to order so it's hot and fresh when you eat. I like the green chile breakfast burritos and the shrimp tacos as well. It can get very busy at lunchtime so be prepared to wait a bit if you hit it at the rush.

So after a dismal continental breakfast at the Days Inn in which it took a 30 minute wait to make one waffle, I came up with the brilliant idea of grabbing breakfast burritos and a coffee before hitting the road instead of suffering through warm yogurt, fruit loops and questionable hard boiled eggs. I insisted, of course, that we choose Alicia's because the name says express and why, we're in a hurry. My husband begrudgingly complies as we drive past multiple acceptable looking Mexican food joints on MY epic mission to find this 5-star rated breakfast burrito. With that said, a couple things cause me to rate this down from the awesomeness that other yelpers proclaim: First, finding it is IMPOSSIBLE because the address is WRONG. We drove to the yelp location near the airport and alas, they are not there. When I called the gal was very friendly (huge plus) and told me that they were located inside the Lowes Grocery store. She failed to tell this out of towner that there are two Lowes Grocery stores, so of course we went to the wrong one first. Of course. And at this point I'm starving and undercaffeinated. And did I mention I'm starving? Second, the burritos were decent, but not rolled well so the goodies inside fell out all over the place. Not the best for eating whilst on the go. Also, the tortillas had a good flavor but were a bit chewy and slightly tough like they had been reheated. So that was obviously disappointing. Third, there was nothing "express" about getting the burritos made. And if you aren't from Gallup, it's somewhat alarming waiting ANY length of time in the parking lot of a grocery store alone with your children while armed guards are walking around. Good grief! Let's just say I don't think I'll search it out so diligently my next time through.

Abysmally terrible food. Possibly the worse Mexican food (if you want to call it that) I've ever experienced. The gentleman working the front is incredibly nice and helpful. I want to make it clear the 1 star is purely for the horrible food. All the staff here were very nice to us. It's just that when you read the reviews and then you get there and you see all the Mexican staff you get your hopes up. We had vegetarian tacos and a chorizo burrito. Both were tasteless. Not even cilantro on either. No spices either. I mean, come on!!! Mexican cuisine is some of the best cuisine on the damned planet, it's spice complexity rivaled only by Indian cuisine. You just want some flavor in your food when you come to a place like this. Even the guacamole was bland, tasting of solely avocado- no cumin, oregano, garlic, or even onions. Such a disappointment after driving for 8 hours straight and being famished. You'd do better going to a fast food place somewhere else. Terrible.

This place is hard to find but a great stop for lunch or early dinner. Located in back of Lowe's stop and shop closest to Albertson's. Great, REAL mexican food for good prices.

Easily the best lunch spot in Gallup -- fast, delicious, and cheap! The trick is finding it (it is inside the Lowe's Shop and Save grocery store on Route 66). Go to the back right corner of the grocery store and you'll see it. Everything is excellent. Particular favorites to look for: carne asada or the chicken/green chili burrito. Also has my favorite chips and salsa in all of Gallup.

This is the local spot, hidden, but always busy. If you are driving through Gallup, there is no way to find this place, you have to know someone who knows where it's at. The prices of the food is cheap in comparision to other places. I recommend the carne asada tacos, you'll get a sizzling plate of yumminess! My only complaint is that they should serve breakfast all day.... Why? Because it's the best in town and I am a night owl. Now I am missing home thinking of Alicia's food. :))

Alicia's is a great find. It is well suited for people staying at the El Rancho. It took me months of living in Gallup to find this gem, so be glad I am sharing this information. You walk into the Shop & Save and head to the back right. It's not in the corner, but it's back there a little to the left.
(5)Alan E.
This is a strange little Gallup resturant. It's located in the back of a supermarket, and has some of the best mexican food you will find. Its one of those places that locals like myself love and where the people know you and what you like.
