Vibrant little restaurant with young, friendly, attentive staff (though maybe overstaffed for a Thursday), and good food. I enjoyed my breakfast quesadilla and my taste of the grilled burrito was good too. They even have a kids' coloring menu and crayons for the highchair crowd. The prices are reasonable and it's close to home. We'll definitely go back.
Edited to add: the flan is delicious!!
At one point I wanted to try Mexican food , not Taco Bell. I ran across El Gallo. I figured I'll give it a try. Let me tell you.... To say I was impressed is an extreme understatement, if you like it spicy ask and they'll accommodate you to your desire. Now I have tried almost every dish, and plan to completely try everything they offer. The food comes well prepared and as I expected. I've stopped ordering Chinese or Italian. Let me tell you I don't write reviews on anything, this restaurant I had to; The food is great the guacamole is out of this world, and I've had it before at a another restaurant. The delivery drivers are top notch, friendly, polite considerate and they deserve a they deserve a 30% tip or more. This is not fast food take out " this is real food and healthy".
I rate this experience 5 diamonds out of 5. And like I said before I don't write reviews for anything not even Amazon. If you want to try Mexican, scratch that, great food give El Gallo a try, you won't be disappointed its home cooked meal that you can order.
Keep up the great work......I have been telling others of my experience.
What a lovely quick joint for food. Delicious burritos and tacos with excellent service. Very polite staff. If you haven’t been, it’s a must
Have gotten food from here a few times. Ordering tonight again. Food is delicious and great value. So glad to have found this place.
Awesome authentic Mexican food. It was great. It is BYOB and there is a liquor store right next to it to get things. The restaurant does some cool sangria and margarita deals where you bring the alcohol and they charge a small price to add all the other ingredients and mix them and serve it to you in a pitcher. The chips that they bring you when you sit down are really good as well.
