" I have been to El Gallo a handful of times and I have yet to be disappointed! Their quesadilla is packed and the cheese is so melty—definitely a comfort dish. It’s a very casual vibe, and the staff are welcoming. It’s my favorite new spot in Midtown, and I plan to keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my favorite spot, but not terrible either. The food was average and lacked a wow factor. The ambiance was decent but felt like a regular eatery. Maybe I’ll try a different dish next time to see if that improves my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried El Gallo after hearing so much hype, and it did not disappoint! The service was top-notch, and my fish taco was crispy and fresh. The salsa adds the perfect zing to it. The irony is that it was so good, I forgot to take a picture! I can't wait to tell my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the carnitas tacos today and found them too dry and unseasoned for my taste. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I expected more from the food based on prior reviews. I might consider giving it another shot, just a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall! I ordered the steak fajitas, which were sizzling and flavorful. The staff provided great service and the decor is vibrant. I liked that they have good vegetarian options too! Worth the visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely meal here last night! The pozole was rich and comforting, and my quesadilla made with fresh corn tortillas was a delight. The service was warm and inviting, and I appreciated their attention to detail. I’ll definitely be making this my regular stop for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found this place while exploring Midtown and I’m so glad I did. From the tacos to the drinks, everything was on point! I had the fish taco, which was cooked perfectly and seasoned, paired with a fresh salsa. My only complaint was that my server forgot to bring my drink, but the food more than made up for it. Will definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)
