" I was excited to try TBT El Gallo because of all the great reviews. The tacos I got were good, but honestly, I expected a bit more based on what I read. The seasoning was nice, but the meat in my quesabirria tacos was dry. Still, the hot salsa was the highlight for me! Could use improvement, but I'd probably give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's the little things that matter! TBT El Gallo surprised me with their friendly service. The tacos I had were packed with flavor. I loved that they have unique options that many other taco places don’t offer. The only downside was pricing; it's higher than your average taco stand, but for the quality, I can justify it. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! The tacos were the highlight of our visit. Each taco was bursting with flavors and freshness. I also enjoyed chatting with the staff; they were super friendly! My only complaint was the limited options for indoor seating, but honestly, the food made up for it. I’ll be returning without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" TBT El Gallo has quickly become my go-to taco spot! The flavors are bold, and their birria tacos are out of this world. I also enjoy their outdoor seating area, although it can get busy. The staff is kind and helpful, and the service is typically fast. If you're a taco fan, you can't miss this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're on the hunt for something authentic and delicious, TBT El Gallo is the place to be! I had the shrimp tacos and they were bursting with flavor. The service was friendly, and I appreciated how they helped me with my order. My only complaint is I think it could be a bit more organized inside, but that's a minor issue for the fantastic food. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" An authentic culinary experience at TBT El Gallo! There’s nothing quite like their birria tacos when you're craving something rich and flavorful. The ingredients tasted fresh and made with love. My friends and I took a gamble on this place, and we are so glad we did! Prices are reasonable, and portions were generous. We will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really disappointed with my experience at TBT El Gallo. I expected amazing tacos based on all the reviews but found them to be bland and unappetizing. The service was decent, but the whole vibe felt rushed and chaotic. I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon, especially with so many other options available in Richmond. " (*Curated Review*)
