" El Gallo Cocina Mexicana is where you will find authentic flavors in Dayton! The street tacos hold a special place in my heart. You can count on freshly cooked meat and warm tortillas every time. Alongside fantastic service, this place makes for a perfect dinner date. Only downside is limited vegetarian options, but the staff is always eager to help create something delish. Highly recommend!

" Amazing experience at El Gallo Cocina! From the moment we entered, the staff was warm and welcoming. I tried the famous huevos rancheros, and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype! The flavors were rich and comforting. A friend got the verde enchiladas and also raved about them. We shared a dessert, tres leches, and it was heavenly. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for authentic Mexican food in Dayton for ages, and I finally found it at El Gallo! The flavors are spot on, from the salsa to the tacos. I tried their carnitas, and they were so tender that I could hardly believe it. While the atmosphere is casual, it feels like home. It's a bit on the smaller side, so it can get crowded, but the staff is efficient and friendly. I will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited El Gallo based on recommendation. Overall, we had a delightful meal. The food felt authentic, especially the mole. I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, though it was a bit cramped during dinner hours. The staff addressed all our concerns promptly, which added a personal touch to the experience. I look forward to returning and trying other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gallo has quickly become my go-to for a tasty lunch. I love the flavor of their al pastor; it’s among the best I’ve had. The ambiance is inviting, and I've always received excellent service. I do wish the seating was a bit more spacious, as it does get crowded during peak hours. Overall, a fantastic spot for authentic Mexican grub! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden treasure in the city! El Gallo Cocina has impressed me time after time. Each dish is bursting with freshness, and the horchata is heavenly. The staff is so warm and accommodating; it's a joy to dine here. I tried to tell everyone I know about it! Don't miss their carne asada nights; it’s an experience you won’t forget! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at El Gallo Cocina Mexicana! I came in for a casual lunch and was greeted warmly by the host. I ordered the chiles rellenos and they were delicious! The whole dish felt authentic, from the sauce to the filling. My friend had the steak torta, which was equally impressive. The servers were polite and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant also appeared very clean and well-kept. I'll definitely be back with friends. Highly recommended!
