This hidden gem exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the vibrant atmosphere was intoxicating, filled with colorful décor, and the warmest smiles from the staff. The mezcal selection was top-notch, with options that you don’t typically find, and the cocktails were masterfully crafted. The food was amazing and perfectly cooked. We had empanadas and tacos. It was so good we ordered seconds of both.
I cannot rave enough about Gallo - we hosted our wedding reception there this spring. Our event with them was flawlessly organized, the communication was consistent and transparent and Angela and Ernesto were so kind and hospitable. Their food and drinks are uniquely delicious, the atmosphere is relaxed and beautiful and the staff are intentional about making your experience a good one. We can't wait to return for future date nights and dinners with friends.

There was so much beauty in this restaurant. I took a seat at the bar as it had a plug and checked out their menu.
