" Tacos El Gallo has quickly become my favorite spot in East Peoria! The tacos are incredibly fresh and packed with flavors that remind me of my recent trip to Mexico. I especially loved the carne asada tacos, which were grilled to perfection. The service was exceptional, and the staff was so welcoming. I would recommend trying their homemade salsas which add a perfect kick! Overall, I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Gallo is the real deal! I had the steak tacos and they were bursting with flavor. The service was very welcoming, and the speed of service was impressive. The atmosphere is casual, and while it isn’t a fine-dining experience, it has that homey vibe that I love. Excellent portions for the price! I’ll definitely be returning with more friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Tacos El Gallo based on the reviews, and I wasn't let down! The tacos tasted homemade, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. I particularly enjoyed the chorizo tacos, but I felt the serving sizes could have been a bit larger for the price. Overall, a great experience with warm service! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Tacos El Gallo due to the fantastic reviews, but my experience was underwhelming. The tacos, while decent, didn't taste as fresh as I had expected. Plus, service was slow, and my requests for no onions on my burrito were ignored. My friends enjoyed their meals, but I felt disappointed with my order. I might give it another try, but I probably won’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about how much I love this place! Every time I come, I'm met with consistently delicious food that transports me right back to my childhood in Mexico. The al pastor tacos are a must-try and the combination of flavors is unbeatable! However, the seating is limited, which can be a downside, especially during peak hours. But the food makes it worth it, and the prices are very reasonable for the portions. I’ll definitely keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the area, you MUST try Tacos El Gallo! The tacos are bursting with flavor and the service is spectacular. They really treat everyone like family which is a rare find. The place is a little tight on space, but that just adds to the charm. I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tacos El Gallo for the first time last week. I was excited after hearing so much about it. I ordered the taco trio and some rice and beans on the side. While the tacos were tasty and filled with authentic ingredients, the rice was a bit bland and could use some seasoning. The atmosphere was casual and simple; I enjoyed the vibe but wished for a bit more decor. Overall, a solid experience, but room for improvement in the rice. " (*Curated Review*)
