The food is phenomenal. The service is impeccable. The drinks are on-point. I’ve sat down and ordered takeout multiple times from this place and they never disappoint. The staff is always friendly and inviting. The cooks know what they’re doing. I love this place.
April 2024
Had some amazing Mexican tacos at El Gallo. I was told that the food was good, and "authentic" so my expectations were high. I was pleased that the tacos were really good! I ordered al Pastor, chicken and steak tacos that were delicious. This is a roadside Mexican restaurant so the atmosphere was a bit "quirky". The staff was professional and attentive and I would definitely return to El Gallo and try some other things on the menu.
January 2024
Awesome amazing delicious. We will be back!! From New Mexico to Oaxaca we’ve eaten all. This place makes the trip a lot shorter! Chorizo cheese app, chili poblanos, stuffed pineapple special, pulled chicken tacos!
