" Dining at El Gallo Giro was a great experience overall. The food was fresh and I indulged in their delightful churros – they were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The staff was knowledgeable and were quite eager to assist with the menu. I was pleased with the atmosphere, though it got a little crowded towards the end of my meal. I’d definitely recommend this place, especially for their desserts! " (*Curated Review*)

" I popped into El Gallo Giro expecting delicious food based on all the talk around town. I seized the day with a torta Cubana. It was packed with flavor but a bit on the smaller side for the price. The ambiance was pleasant, pleasantly upbeat, yet the tables were cramped. Service was friendly, which was nice, but my overall experience was only okay. I think I may try the place again, as there were many options I had not tried yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to El Gallo Giro, I experienced a wide array of delightful treats! From freshly made conchas to fluffy bolillos, everything was simply delectable. The highlight was definitely the carnitas. The staff, led by the ever-friendly Pedro, went out of their way to ensure I was satisfied with my food choices. I also loved their aguas frescas — so refreshing and flavorful! Despite the crowded atmosphere, it felt welcoming. If you're looking for genuine Mexican food, El Gallo Giro won't disappoint. This has quickly become one of my favorite places in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I think of El Gallo Giro, my mouth begins to water! Their sweet breads are to die for — flakey and fresh. I recently tried their pozole verde, and it was comforting and packed full of flavor. Though there can be a long wait during busy periods, the hospitality from the workers makes up for it. They're absolutely sweet and attentive to each customer's needs. If you're looking for a place to indulge in authentic Mexican fare, this should be your go-to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been frequenting El Gallo Giro for quite some time now. I genuinely enjoy the cheerful energy of the restaurant. The staff is fantastic, especially when addressing any special requests; they're usually prompt as well. On my last visit, I ordered the halibut tacos and was thrilled; I loved the unique twist they put on a classic dish. You’re always in for a treat — I highly recommend stopping by.

" Every visit I have had to El Gallo Giro has been satisfactory. The tacos are simply delicious and remind me of home. The customer service is a hit or miss, though during my last visit, Pedro was phenomenal. He joked with me while making sure my order was correct. I appreciate the authenticity here. A fun spot for a casual meal. Overall, I would recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I had my doubts before going to El Gallo Giro, especially with some of the mixed reviews. But I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised! The food was quite good, particularly the pollo al pastor. It brought back some memories of my trips to Mexico! The only downside was a bit of a wait during peak hours, but the friendly staff and excellent customer service made up for it. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
