" We had our company lunch catered here, and it was an outstanding experience! The staff was incredibly accommodating and the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the tacos and there were plenty of options for all dietary needs. TBT El Gallo knows how to put on a great spread! Highly recommend to anyone looking for catering. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much hype around this place, I finally checked it out. I was a bit disappointed. The tacos were fine, but they didn't really stand out compared to other authentic places in the area. The service was quick, but I felt rushed. Maybe I just caught them on an off day. I might give this place another chance, but I was not overly impressed. " (*Curated Review*)

" For the best tacos head to TBT El Gallo! I’ve tried many places around Richmond and nothing compares to the unique flavors offered here. The birria tacos are my personal favorite, and the service from Carlos and team makes the experience even better. I can’t wait to sit outside and enjoy more meals here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I just had the Aloha Fluffy taco and it blew my mind! It was packed with flavor and the pickled pineapple elevated it to a whole new level. The staff was also super friendly and eager to help me navigate the menu. Definitely a hidden gem in Richmond! I'll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited TBT El Gallo during peak lunch hours and it was chaotic! However, the staff handled the rush well and I appreciated their hard work. I ordered the Big Papi taco and it was fantastic! Although I wished there was more seating available, the outdoor dining was pleasant enough. All in all, a pretty great experience. " (*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*)
