“We have traveled quite a bit in Mexico over the years. Our favorite places to eat are small, home-owned, “hole in the wall” type eateries. Always good food, warm pleasant people and just a comfortable place to be. We found that at El Gallo Giro. No corporate rubber chicken sandwiches here. Drop by for a fine meal and a touch of Mexico. I don’t think you will be disappointed…“

“I love this place. Warm salsa is amazing! Super friendly and the food is great. I have super picky Mexican food eating friends and they loved this place too. Mariachi band on Tuesdays can be fun and remember it’s ok to say no to them if you’re not in the mood. The food does take some time, but the quality is worth it!!“

“amazing food, great service.“

“The menu is small but amazing and beautifully presented. The food is very fresh and full of flavor. Really attentive and kind wait staff. Premium local meats and chicken and wonderful fish (offerings change). Flavor combos are excellent. Noisy. We try to eat there after the lunch crowd leaves. Closed from 3 to 5.“

“Loved the carne asada burrosaurus. Hot sauce added great flavor and very generous portion too, nice to get good value for your money.“

“This was absolutely amazing “holy cow” this was amazing!!!!! I’ve never had such fast service at any taco restaurant especially one that then serves such well cooked and well prepared tacos all around just an insane experience all the props in the world to the staff!!“

“First off. I fly here from WA to eat the fries burrito. My bf came with me and there was hair and METAL in his food. They are throwing their meat out right now but I’m feeling additional compensation is required. It was not a thin piece of metal (it was roughly paper clip looking)“

“First time visiting and I will definitely be coming back! My husband came by Don Joaquin's a few days ago and couldn't stop raving about it so I decided to join him there for lunch today.... let me tell you that I am so glad that I did! The restaurant is spacious, clean and they have some freezers with Popsicles, paletas and ice cream bars and fried doraditos by the ordering station. Menu is simple but sometimes that all you need right? I got the gringa combo, which has 3 tacos (al pastor, chicken and asada) with a drink and my husband got an asada burrito with a side of rice. I also got a slice of strawberry tres leches cake which was stellar! Every single bite was lovely; everything was flavored so well and was fresh! Definitely recommend if you are in the area - you won't be disappointed!“

“Have wanted to try this place for years. Finally did and it did not disappoint. Excellent carne asada burrito smothered with sauce and cheese. Perfect amount to split with another person. Chips were top notch and the salsa and the perfect amount of heat.“

“Their mixed tacos are amazing! Highly recommended!“

“I really like their smothered burrito with pork sauce.“

“When we first came to Utah in Aug 2020 we asked around and most people said there were not many good Mexican restaurants on SLC. Being from Southern California we know good Mexican food given the large Latino population. When we got a recommendation for El Gallo Loco, in Sandy of all places, we were skeptical but decided to go check it out. The words AMAZING do not even describe it. Alberto is super nice, friendly, and really helped us to pick dishes we thoroughly enjoyed. He is super humble about the place, and really took the time to find out what types of food and flavors we liked, and made recommendations which did not disappoint on any level. Their Tortilla soup is hands down the BEST we have ever had, and we’ve had a lot. Their chicken - WOW. Marinated and tender in any dish - tacos, burritos, fajitas - even just the chicken. They have 3 authentic salsas - the green sauce on burritos is so good we thought about it all week !! Chips are perfect - not greasy at all. Good range of drinks, beer, wine , margaritas and even horchata - if that’s not authentic I don’t know what is. This is one of our GO TO places for sure.“

“I have been coming here for years. I love their chimichanga platter and their birria tacos!“

“Loved it great service and food!!“

“Fui al de Springville ase unos días y siempre todo está bien y la cajera en la mañana bien buena y siempre con una sonrisa pero ese día fuimos en la tarde después de las 6pm y fue un error. Los que están en la tarde se ven que no les gusta el trabajo y un muchacho creo que se llama Iván en su cellular ignorando mi pregunta. Mi esposo también no le gusta ir en la tarde por que no tratan bien a la gente. Necesitan una clase en cómo comportase con la gente. Nunca más regresamos en la tarde.“

“always affordable and filled w any type of meat you can think of!“

“It was catered for my daughters birthday and the food was so good got queso birras, rice, beans and got some agua fresca on the house 10/10 would recommend 🙏🏽“

“We waited to try it when it opened and I’m sad we waited so long. The staff were friendly, fast, and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious. The best chili relleno I’ve ever had. I also love the salsa and warm refried beans served with chips. We will be back! Best Mexican food in Utah County!“

“A student I was driving with said she previously worked here for her aunt. Since I ❤️ Mexican food, decided to give it a try. We all got Alambre, the Friday special and it was DELICIOUS. We will definitely be going back.“

“This place slaps. The owner was cool, him and his crew know how to cook some real deal tacos and quesadillas. This isn’t your standard issue street taco either, these are full flavor blast tacos. It’s truly worth a visit. We will be back in the near future to explore more of the menu.“

“fast fresh authentic best Mex 😊“

“We have loved Cocolitos and their family since they were over by Harmons over a decade ago! It's the best Mexican around, and I love that it's a family owned business. Chips are made in house.“

“I can count on consistent, high quality, delicious, food, here along with great service!!“

“My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant for over 10 years!“

“We like Costa Vida… but, We came today and they charged us an extra 1.99 for chicken with the kids quesadilla i was shocked as they have never charged for meat before. When we got home there was not even any chicken 😞“

“The one place to go if you're looking for authentic items from México or other Latin American places.Don't let the small door entrance fool you. The place might be small but they really have a bit of everything.Just give them a shot.“

“During coronavirus quarantine we try to Order from this place every week. Yesterday, was pretty crazy. The governor just asked people to stay home. People were lined up to pick up food. Your amazing employees were doing their best. Everyone was stressed and some customers took it out on the very people trying to serve them. Thank you for staying open so your employees have work and we have food. Thank your employees for dealing so patiently with the customers that don’t handle this stress so well.“

“Pollo Loco has the absolute best tasting chicken of any fast food, or even dine in restaurants. The way it’s prepared is perfect and it always tastes fresh and healthy. Love this place!“

“one of our favorite places to eat. Never had a bad meal or bad attitude from an employees. 😍“

“First time trying this place since the name change, Both as a Dasher & as a customer. I have to say the staff are awesome, very friendly and helpful (unlike some other places I have been recently) We ordered a Shredded Chicken Chimichanga, a California Burrito, a Habanero Burrito, and a side of rice. The food was served very promptly, hot and well presented, and we all agreed that it was absolutely delicious. Both of the Burritos and the Chimichanga were packed full of meat and flavor, Not like a lot of these places that pack them full of beans, and a few chewy bits of tasteless meat. They even put a bag of Cinnamon chips in with our order, which was a very nice touch. We will definitely be using this place on a regular basis, and will happily collect orders from their restaurant to deliver via DoorDash. Keep up the good work, it doesn’t go unnoticed.“
