Possibly the best menudo on earth. Also, great staff and clean comfortable restaurant atmosphere.

The food here has been consistently good with a variety of things to enjoy. Service is friendly and despite being an "order at the counter" place is attentive and helpful.

Absolutely love it here, have been a few times and it's delicious, quick and easy. I don't speak Spanish and am not particularly cultured when it comes to food but they are patient with me and always answer whatever questions I have. Great service, great portions, all around fantastic.

Simply the best Mexican food in Orem. It’s authentic and delicious. My wife and I shared a half smoked chicken. It fed us both with a lot of leftovers.

I had only been the the El Gallo Giro in Southern California. These two are not related. I figured why not give a day in court. When I sat down the salsa in the small cups. Exceptional salsa flavors. The carrots and jalapeños are very tasty. I could not believe how tasty and flavorful the El Cubana is. The smoked chicken is good. Be careful with some of the bones. Comes with the territory. Would recommend coming here again. The gal who took our order was very pleasant.

The chiliquilles were amazing! We tried one with green sauce and one with red, both with eggs and they were amazing!! The salsa bar had some great options too. Definitely worth coming back to!
The chickens are delicious ? but the girl's attention is the best, she is an excellent person, the best of the best 100 out of 100 and of course she came back, thank you ❤❤❤

The food was just not very good. There were no descriptions of the menu items so if you didn't know what they were already, you have no idea. I took my family there because we like to try new places and it was rated 5.0 but I can't for the life of me figure out why. I'd rate it a 2.5 tops. Our server was good. We won't be going back.

This restaurant is super authentic and badass. Thank the heavens for Mexico. My favorites are the salsas and drink jugs stocked with jugos frescos and horchata. I could eat from here and only here for the rest of my life and be happy.

Glad to see this place pop back up. El Gallo Giro has been in several locations in the area over the years. It's in a strip mall next to Fat Daddy's pizza (best pizza around BTW). Great place for their street tacos, but everything is fresh and tasty. On this trip we got the Menudo- a yummy spicy soup. Also, did the combo plate with a couple chicken enchiladas and a chicken burrito. Great service. Quick and very friendly (very patient even with a guy like me with lots of questions). Strip mall location is clean. Not much of a unique vibe. Take out is best option. Fun fact: they have a little salsa station with the best fresh sweet mango salsa around.
