" While I've always been a fan of Mexican cuisine, I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about dining at a roadside restaurant. However, the moment I stepped into El Gallo, I was pleasantly surprised. The décor is charming, and the staff greeted us with smiles. We ordered just about everything on the menu, from enchiladas to fish tacos. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, especially the sauces! When I tasted the grilled chicken, it was evident just how seasoned these cooks are. This place is a gem in Charleston and doesn’t get nearly enough credit. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gallo Bar and Grill exceeded my expectations! Not only was the food flavorful and freshly made, but the drinks were also superb. I ordered the margarita and it was crafted with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is vibrant yet cozy. I think this could become my top choice for Mexican in Charleston. I also appreciated how the staff checked in on us frequently, but not too much to be annoying. I can't wait to go back and try the different taco offerings on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a blast during Taco Tuesday at El Gallo! The ambience was lively, and the tacos were impressive. I particularly enjoyed the carne asada taco; it was marinated perfectly! The service was both attentive and friendly, but it did get a little slower as the night progressed because the place filled up quickly. We also tried their churros and they were among the best I've ever had—crispy on the outside and soft inside. It’s a wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy delicious food with friends. 10/10 would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for a casual dinner with a couple of friends and ordered the fish tacos. I was reluctant, but once I took the first bite, I was hooked! The fish was cooked perfectly and the toppings complemented it wonderfully. The only downside was that the service was a tad slow, but the pleasant atmosphere made up for it. A lovely experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gallo has found its way into my heart and my stomach! Their Chile Relleno is hands down the best I've ever tasted anywhere. It’s a must try. Staff is friendly and the environment feels relaxed. I went during the lunch rush but was pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were served. I’ll definitely return to explore more of their menu. Here’s hoping they keep up this level of quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at El Gallo was good, but not without some hiccups. While I loved my burrito, my companion found her meal to be a tad bland. The restaurant was clean, and the staff put forth an effort to make us feel welcomed. I would go back, just with a clearer sense of what to order next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at El Gallo last weekend. I was impressed with the freshness of the ingredients. The salsa and guacamole were so good that we kept ordering more! The staff was friendly, and I felt at home while dining. I will surely come back! " (*Curated Review*)
