Everything from the carne asada to the varieties of aguas frescas truly reflects Mexican culinary traditions. The environment is family-friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our meal so much that we ended up ordering extra! One of my favorite spots in Joliet. Strongly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Interesting flavors and plenty of variety in the menu! I tried their beef and chicken combo; both were cooked skillfully. I will admit the service was a bit slow during peak hours, but I’ll be back anyway for another round of their delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last weekend and ordered the roasted chicken with rice and beans. The flavors were remarkable; you could tell the ingredients were fresh and prepared with care. My only complaint was the service, as it took a bit longer than expected to get our food. But the quality of the meals made up for it. I’ll be back for more authentic tastes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've heard good things about El Gallo De Acero and decided to try it out. The carne asada tacos I ordered were very flavorful, but I noticed the sides were somewhat bland. The service was okay; not bad, but they could be friendlier. Overall, it was a decent experience and I might give it another chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came for lunch with some friends and ordered the flautas. They were crispy and filled with just the right amount of meat. It was satisfying and delicious. The waitress was polite, and the environment was bright and clean, which enhanced our experience. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch! " (*Curated Review*)
