Average Costa Rican spot. The gallo pinto and plantains were decent, and portions were fair for the price. Service was polite but not particularly attentive. Atmosphere is casual and simple. Food arrived a bit lukewarm on one dish. Fine for a quick authentic-ish meal, but nothing that stood out enough to make it a regular. Okay overall.
I tried the burrito at El Gallo Pinto Costa Rica on Hull Street Rd, and it was definitely a good size with a unique flavor. The service was good and friendly, but a little slow. That being said, even though it had a Mexican flag next to it, it’s really not anything like a Mexican burrito. It has its own style and taste, so I think they should probably market it differently to avoid confusion.
This is one of the few places in town that you can get breakfast lunch or dinner to go at 5 AM in a choose from a buffet in the kitchen type of setting. The prices are very reasonable. I walked out with plates all the time that should be $30 and I pay $10-$15. Also, they have a variety of Latin foods.

El Gallo Pinto Costa Rica offers a wide variety of authentic Hispanic cuisine from different regions. The restaurant is particularly known for its delicious birria tacos and Costa Rican dishes, which are among the most authentic options available. Customers frequently praise the flavorful rice and beans, and the seafood dishes, including salmon, are consistently well-prepared. The ambiance is decent, with TVs playing, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Service can vary, with some staff being new and still learning, but the overall quality of the food remains a highlight. Many visitors enjoy the Desayuno Tico Breakfast, which some describe as a favorite, along with other dishes like tamales and gorditas. The unique addition of loroca in mixta pupusas has also been mentioned positively. Guests appreciate the tasty pupusas and often return for their delicious offerings. The restaurant even starts delivering before dawn, catering to early risers. The beef soup has been noted as particularly hearty and satisfying, making it an unexpected but excellent choice for breakfast.
