" I've been to El Gallo Giro several times, and each visit feels like a new culinary adventure! The al pastor tacos are absolutely divine, bursting with authentic flavor. I've taken friends here, and they've all loved their meals. The service has always been friendly, but a tiny bit slower during peak hours. Still worth it every time. " (*Curated Review*)

While the overall atmosphere is nice, it can sometimes feel a bit chaotic during busy hours, but that only proves how popular the place is. The servers are always polite, even if a bit rushed at times. " (*Curated Review*)
