" Not impressed by the service. The staff seemed overwhelmed during rush hour, and my order took too long to arrive. The food was decent but nothing that wowed me. It’s unfortunate because the place has good potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Could not get enough of the salsa! It's full of flavor and the perfect kick of spice. Everything I tried was made with passion and authentic Mexican recipes. My only regret is not trying more items on the menu. This place is a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family enjoyed our dinner here! The chicken was juicy and the beans had a wonderful taste. The sidings were plentiful, which was an added bonus! The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our visit, we had the half chicken which was amazing! The sides were equally good; I especially loved the rice. A clean and friendly environment made our meal even better. Would definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gallo De Acero is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I've visited! The flavors are so authentic, I felt like I was transported to Mexico with every dish. The carne asada was grilled to perfection and was perfectly seasoned with a side of fresh tortillas that were soft and warm. I ordered a family-style meal, which allowed me to try a variety of dishes, including refried beans and homemade salsa that had the ideal level of spiciness. However, I did experience a bit of a wait for my food, but it was totally worth it. The staff was pleasant and attentive, which only added to the positive dining experience. I’ll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful time dining in! The atmosphere was inviting, and the decor was vibrant. The flautas were crispy and satisfying, just like the guacamole—which was fresh and homemade! It was a great experience overall, and would love to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
