Los Gallitos Fresh Mexican Grill

Los Gallitos Fresh Mexican Grill is an owner-operated Mexican restaurant in Mission, Kansas, opened in November 2023 by Nereyda Torres in the longtime former home of Salsa Grill Cantina. It serves scratch-made, fresh Mexican and Tex-Mex fare — sizzling fajitas, tacos, mole enchiladas, and parrilladas — alongside a full bar.

Description

Los Gallitos Fresh Mexican Grill is a sit-down Mexican restaurant offering “bold flavor and fresh-made dishes” prepared daily, with a menu spanning fajitas, tacos, mole enchiladas, carne asada, flautas, and shareable parrilladas.¹² The kitchen emphasizes homemade, from-scratch cooking.² The restaurant operates a full-service bar known for margaritas (including watermelon and mangonada varieties), plus an outdoor patio, catering, and online ordering.¹ Hours are Sunday–Thursday 11 a.m.–9 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–10 p.m.¹ The name is Spanish for “little roosters,” an homage to the nickname owner Nereyda Torres gave her twin sons.³

Ownership and history

Los Gallitos is owned and operated by Nereyda Torres, for whom opening her own restaurant was a longtime dream.³ Before launching Los Gallitos entirely on her own, Torres had experience running other restaurants and being part of other ownership groups.³ The restaurant occupies the space at 6508 Martway St. in the Mission West Shopping Center that was formerly home to Salsa Grill Cantina, a local favorite that operated there for roughly two decades before closing earlier in 2023.³⁴ Los Gallitos officially opened on November 27, 2023, with daily specials and happy hours beginning December 6, 2023.³ Signature dishes at opening included fish tacos and parrilladas, a shareable plate for two featuring assorted meats, vegetables, and sides.³
