El Gallo Mexican Cuisine

I came here for my birthday, it was my first time at El Gallo. The food is NYC style quality, all fresh and delicious! For a storefront bistro, it's welcoming and charming. The service was outstanding and the owner/chef was delightful! I dare say this is the best Mexican fare in the area, and right in my hometown. My birthday was made special by these folks, even tho a very cold and bitter night; they even had a tortilla soup, not listed on menu, to warm us up! We're so glad we stopped in, impromptu for my birthday...I'll definitely be returning soon!

We did carry out for the nachos, chimichangas, and the quesadilla, and the guacamole. Food was outstanding. The guacamole was so good. Definitely recommend.

From delicious food to the nicest manager one could hope to encounter, Ray and the team at El Gallo never disappoint. As a Hawthorne local, I do my best to support local businesses and El Gallo is a pleasure every time. My most recent order was for me and friends, and we were all delighted (and had leftovers that reheated wonderfully) with our choices. You can’t go wrong here - and if you’re dining in, it’s just the lovliest place. Thanks for being awesome!! PS - can’t get enough of the rice and refried beans!!! Seriously! 🤤
