" I visited El Gallo for the first time last week with high expectations based on all the amazing reviews, and let me tell you—do not hesitate! The tacos are out of this world, reminding me of street food in Mexico. I opted for the birria tacos, and they were packed with juicy flavor. The service from Karen was impeccable; she was friendly and efficient. The vibrant decorations and warm ambience truly enhanced the dining experience. The only drawback was a bit of a delay in receiving our drinks, but the food made up for it. I will be coming back without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love this place! Every meal feels like a feast. I tried their tacos de lengua and the flavors transported me right back to my last trip to Mexico. Beyond the great food, the staff’s friendliness makes all the difference. Karen always greets me with a smile, and her recommendations never lead me astray. However, the seating could be improved; I've found a cozy corner but it can feel cramped during busy times. Still, I would never hesitate to recommend this delightful gem to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit El Gallo Taqueria, I leave satisfied and excited to return. The authenticity of the food is exactly what I crave! I love their haddock tacos and the salsa is deliciously spicy. The environment is always buzzing with good energy, making it a lively spot to enjoy a meal. I wish they had more seating, though, as it can fill up quickly during peak hours. Despite that, the stellar service from Dennis and the rest of the team continuously impresses. Highly recommend if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gallo Taqueria is one of the best spots for authentic Mexican food in the city! I had an array of tacos, and everything was deliciously fresh with great seasoning. The staff was really friendly, which added to the whole experience. The only drawback was that the place can get quite busy, so be prepared to wait during peak hours. I would still highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended El Gallo, and I'm so grateful! What a fantastic experience. The service couldn't be better—Henry made sure everything was top-notch. The tacos were bursting with authentic flavors, definitely a highlight of my trip. I also loved their hibiscus agua fresca! The ambiance is great, very inviting. My only complaint is that it can get noisy if you're trying to have a conversation, so maybe not the best place for a quiet dinner. Nonetheless, I wholeheartedly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional time at El Gallo Taqueria! The food was authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor! I tried their signature tacos, and they completely blew me away. What a treat! The staff was eager to help and provided top-notch service. The atmosphere was lively which is great for a casual hangout, but it can get a bit crowded. I will be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gallo is such a delightful taco spot! The authentic flavors and atmosphere transport you straight to a vibrant Mexican street café. The burritos are also delicious when craving something filling. The only downside is the long wait times, which is a double-edged sword; worth it for the food but frustrating when you’re hungry! Overall, I highly recommend it to all taco lovers. " (*Curated Review*)
