I love them. It's a delicious Chipotle-esque tacqueria in a vastly underserved neighborhood. The young woman at the register was extremely helpful and made grade recommendations. The burrito was delicious - shout out to the cashier for the vegetarian recommendation. The space is clean with a chill vibe. I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

Their tacos are not flavorful whatsoever. It's very dry and needs sauce, tomatillo, anything! The shredded radish is interesting, but doesn't provide any additional flavor. It'd be much better if the meat was a lot juicier and had more seasoning overall. I do like that they added parchment paper in between each taco so that they don't get too soggy. On the other hand, the loaded fries are pretty salty! Overall, I've had muchhh better tacos elsewhere. For the price, their food is not worth another visit from me, unfortunately. read more

Fish tacos are pretty much the only type of tacos I like, and when I had a hankering for them, I gave El Gallo Taqueria a try. I found out they're a mini chain with decent ratings overall. I put all my eggs into one basket and got 4 of their fish tacos while my husband got birria tacos. The birria tacos were very meaty, even in the small bite I took. My fish tacos were pretty mid. The fish didn't taste as fresh as some other places (not that it tasted old). I saw a Google review that someone threw out their tacos because they thought their tortillas were moldy. And the restaurant responded saying it's the color from the red cabbage in the fish tacos. I confirmed only areas that touched the red cabbage in my tacos had a grayish tint. The fish batter was very crispy, but in a way that took center stage, which shouldn't be the case. The fish taco as a whole was pretty dry without the mild sauce, but the mild sauce was soooo %$#@$@#%#% spicy. Unfortunately, that was the least spicy option for the sauce, and what my husband and I both chose. We literally had to take breaks in between to deal with the spice. Afterward, I could still feel the heat in my stomach, and my husband did not have pleasant bathroom experiences. Safe to say, I will not be returning to this place if I ever want fish tacos again. read more

Amazing food.......messed up my entire order!!!!!!!!!! How do you eat tacos without any sauce????? Not one......... I called and the lady on the phone was a smart ass!!!!!!!! She acted like nothing was wrong talked and asked a thousand questions about my order but never offered me any service for their mistake!!!!!!!! When I asked she said she will give me credit with sauce but doesn't have any delivery drivers. How does that help me?????? Like I said she didn't care and proceeded to be very rude and disrespectful and honestly disgusting. I highly recommend to stay away from this place just from the service alone!!!!! This is not how you treat a customer who spends 200$$$ on an order. Thank you but you guys suck huge!!! Never again!!!!!! read more

I haven't ordered from here in a while and wanted to give them a second chance after noticing the quality of the food was going down. When they 1st opened we would eat there literally 2-3 times a week until we started getting more fat than meat in the carnitas and super dry steak that was chewy like beef jerky. I wish I had followed my gut instinct and not ordered because they did not follow the order notes I put in for an allergy concern and I almost broke my tooth when I bit down really hard on a sharp bone in the carnitas. I really want to support small businesses but this was definitely the last time I'll be ordering from them as 1/2 the food went in the garbage. read more

Terrible food. I don't know what happened to them. Food is literally inedible and foul. You could improve everything.

Try this place one more time. Just in the chance they had a bad couple of days. Wel. Nope. No Seasoning. Dry meat. What a shame. That was my last try. My opinion. Not worth the money. Just isn't worth it. Good food is alway worth good money in my opinion. Bad food , should be corrected or not rewarded with sales. read more

Ordered off Uber eats when I was having some late night munchies. So many places close so early now but they close around 1am. Ordered two carne asada baby burritos. They're smaller than some other burritos but honestly it was the perfect size. It was filled and flavor was good. Not the best burrito I've ever had but it was pretty decent. Would order again next time I have late night cravings. read more

El Gallo was such a great place for us to enjoy a nice hearty meal and with their advertised promotions on Ubereats, it was even better! However, they quickly went from reasonable to ridiculous and the quality did not improve or even stay the same and it's just been worse. One day the baby burritos were $7 then jumped to $9.25. Gallo fries $12 then $15. Their side of salsa was $1.50 then jumped to $3.00 (double??) and pretty much everything else jumped up in price for us seemingly overnight since we were frequenting so much. There was no gradual increase at all. In addition, they are super stingy on the salsa. They give you a teeny cup, but it's hit or miss if you get a "full container" and we always buy extra anyway, but really feel "forced" to get more with how little is received nowadays and those are also not always filled up either!FORGET about asking for another mini container - they will straight up tell you no. You also get the same tiny sized container if you get the baby or the regular burrito. The only thing that feels the same is the $1.00 upcharge for certain meats and the taste is good, but it's hard to enjoy when you feel like you're getting effed - oh and when it's dripping all over and covered in grease making it soggy and not keep it's shape. Even with the Ubereats BOGOs, it no longer feels worth it. Maybe we will be back once in awhile, but sadly, we won't be regulars anymore. read more

I've been ordering food from here since 2017 and there really is no comparison. Especially for someone who doesn't eat meat. Their mushroom & avocado burrito is one of those things where you take a bite and your eyes roll back because something so simple shouldn't be this delicious. I've ordered from other places in nearby (and not-so-nearby) areas and always find myself coming back here. Not a single complaint except they make it nearly impossible to keep to my diet. read more

The food is usually good but tonight everything was eh. I ordered the fried chicken and fries for my kids and the chicken is sliced thin so it shouldn't be fried for too long, but clearly it was overcooked and hard like a rock. Fries were soggy mess. Disappointment for my kids. read more

First off the older guy behind the counter was literally offering all ethically Hispanic people in Spanish a discount for some reviews (I wonder why lol) right in front of my face, than my turn completely quite. Than the food, I ordered the Gallo Fries with chicken... the fries were burnt, more like air fired, there was not much chicken, only thing that tasted okay was the sauce... honestly stick to trucks around the neighborhood cause this place is horrible. read more

Where do I start? I'm in love with the Baby Burrito!!, you get a 10inch flour tortilla with your choice of filling and cheese, beans, rice, pico de gallo, guac, and Crema. I normally get a shrimp burrito with everything except avocado and extra Guacasalsa(Best sauce ever!!). When I say SEASONED! It's Seasoned!, spicy! Flavorful and so good! I can eat it everyday but I don't want my back to get extra big! But this is the only thing I order. I only order through Uber eats but one day I'll go in person to see the ambiance and service. But please El gallo! Never stops making delicious food 11/10 def recommend. Ps: I only have two pics because I keep forgetting to take more, I go straight to eating lol. read more

El Gallo Taqueria - Baby Burrito( Shrimp) with Guacasalsa. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Really good BOGOFree deals on UberEats sometimes! Carnitas Bowl: love the carnitas, which they give a good portion of. I've always gotten big pieces of fat along with the flavorful meat, which I know might not be everyone's thing, but I definitely enjoy it with some melt in the mouth fatty bites. All the components, tho not much variety if you're not paying extra, of the bowl are delicious, especially the soft, flavorful rice and the dollops of creama on top. YUM Carne Asada Fries: since it's delivery, it's expectedly soggy, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment for this dish! The sauce (Mayo?) for this is so good and they use real steak as a protein here that is cooked well. I love the cheese and crema, but whisked there was a lot more cheese for more bites of salty, cheesy goodness! read more

I did not know what to expect, but I was starving on a Friday night and this popped up on Uber Eats. Since there was a buy one get one special, I went to town on ordering. Let me begin with from the time I ordered, to when it got delivered, everything was still warm and fresh. My first bites into the burrito bowl amazed with me with flavorful rice, beans, guac and sour cream. The al pastor flavor is certainly the best with pineapple and char flavoring. Then, onto the tacos which was a little too oily because it felt the tortillas were either drenched in oil or fried. This one I may pass next time. Ending with burritos was a great idea, it was stuffed and heavy. Out of all the meats we tried the al pastor, and the beef with cheddar cheese melt was the best. Definitely will be ordering again from this place ! read more

The food here is authentic Mexican food!! The tortillas are handmade which make the tacos 10x better. The service is also great, Oscar and Thalia were amazing hosts. Overall I would give this place 5 stars!! I need this taco place in queens asap! Definitely try their aguas fresas. read more

El Gallo Taqueria - Agua de horchata - Tex-Mex Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After having a great dine-in experience, decided to place an order through UberEats. Food took a bit over 1 hr to be delivered (within a mile of distance). However, the delivery was not the issue and the reason why I am giving them 3 stars... Ordered a shrimp baby burrito, a birria quesadilla and esquites (corn on a cob in a cup). It was my second time ordering the shrimp burrito and it was just as delicious as it was the first time dining in, a must! It has a nice kick to it and can get quite spicy at the end. The birria quesadilla was the sloppiest, tiniest quesadilla I've ever had. The meat was pretty good but it felt a bit too salty for my taste, maybe if they went easy on the salt it would have been better. The esquites was the worst!!!! I couldn't even eat 1/4 of it. It was super watery and extremely sour, like it was spoiled. It was my first time trying esquites but from what I've seen, it should not be watery. Maybe I am wrong and that's how it was supposed to be, but it was terrible. Watery mayo with cheese and sour... definitely not a good combo. My experience dining in was definitely better. I would go back but definitely avoiding the quesadillas and esquites. read more

Service is unprofessional. Wouldn't accommodate me on my order, asked if they if a certain item came with a meal they told me yes when it arrived it didn't, I called spoke to someone and they said we cannot send you the item but we will refund you, called back 3x and he said waiting on my manager, called this morning the mgr wouldn't accommodate for the 7$ , it's just the point of the service! read more

Made an order for delivery this week, I've never eaten here before but the reviews for this spot are great so I had to check it out. I ordered a medium side of guacamole, I had chips at home, it was enough for three people. I wish I asked for no cilantro as there was a lot but it was good, spicy! I also ordered a mild (guacasalsa is green, very tasty) and a medium salsa (Chile de Arbol, a tomato base that has a spicy kick at the end. Thank god I didn't get a spicer salsa, this was a hot as I can't take). For my meal I ordered four tacos to try the different fillings. Tinga de Pollo was delicious. The chipotle shredded chicken had so much flavor. The Piccadilly taco was also delicious! The seasoned beef taco was a great elevated version you would find other places. I highly suggest these two! The other tacos I ordered were the Al Pastor and the Carnitas taco. These were good but very dry. I ended up having to douse it in salsa. I probably wouldn't order these again, but they have a bunch of other tacos to try so I'll be fine. Delivery was good, didn't take that long from when I ordered. Everything was packed really nice, I especially loved how the tacos were packed together but were separated from each other with parchment paper. Would love to come and eat here when things go back to normal a bit. read more

Great food and affordable prices the food was nice and tasty, the place is so nice, and great service.

I found this place on Yelp. I walked on over one day because I was craving some Mexican food. There is outdoor seating around 4-5 tables. The restaurant is super BUSY! Lots of delivery people are in and out! My goodness as I was there waiting for 15-20 mins I must've seen 10 diff delivery people picking up food. I was just thinking to myself "wow this food Has GOT to be good." When I got home with my order it was still hot and fresh. It did taste incredible! Enchilada were delish! The next time I ordered some tacos and it was very good as well. Solid place. read more

This place is a hidden gem for our cozy little residental neighborhood. To have authentic quality tacos so close by is a real blessing . The tacos shells are so soft and flavorful. The baby burritos are the hidden value item on the menu such a great value. Love the carne asada filling so well seasoned. Carnita pork is so juicy Spicy tinga surprisingly flavorful which is a compliment to the restaurant since chicken is a hard protein to get right** The fresh juice selection adds to the authenticity of the place love the horchata perfect Balance of sweet cinnamon and creaminess. Also everything tastes better with classic Mexican coke ** Pro tip** they also have a solid beer selection as well. Next pro tip** uber eats has BOGO TACOS on a semi regular basis so take advantage when you can as a bonus Tamales are well made and include flavorful sauce Green sauce tart and flavorful with a full taste with a kick personal favorite Warning the spicy salsas are authentic quality so they are really spicy but have such depth of flavor !! Habanaro salsa had me sweating You gotta go and try it all for yourself and pick a favorite such an awesome spot. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for awhile and am glad I got to try it today! We ordered: - 4 different taco types; al pastor, chorizo, lengua and barbacoa. - barbacoa cemita - carne asada quesadilla - mole chicken wings The tacos and wings were the high points of the meal. If I had to rank the entire order, it would be: - barbacoa taco (melt in your mouth beef) - mole chicken wings; the mole is earthy and chocolatey - lengua taco; you have to pay extra for this. The tongue is tender but you don't get much of it even though you have to pay extra (less than the filling of other tacos as well) - carne asada quesadilla; not bad but for the price, I should have just ordered more tacos. On my not a fan list: - chorizo; it's pretty much like mushy spicy ground beef. Maybe it's the texture that made this unsatisfying. - al pastor; pretty meh - barbacoa cemita; I really love the taco but this sandwich was really bad. There are these leaves in the sandwich that are super floral, not enough barbacoa and the flavor ends up being spicy, overwhelming amounts of bread and strong floral leaf. Stick with the tacos and wings! read more

high yield mexican It's really hard to resist the buy one get one free deal on uber eats. Got 4 tacos and 2 baby burritos (tho it actually wasn't that small??). Service was speedy and actually was really good. Tried the carne asada, suadero, al pastor, and chicken. Beef and el pastor was excellent, juicy and popping with flavor. Chicken was a little dry but still good. Tacos had a ton of meat in them (I would say they are higher yield if you are a meat lover) and the burritos had a lot of rice and beans and grilled just the way I like it. Overall an amazing value and great taste, gna try the tortas and birria next time. read more

Best tacos I've had in I couldn't tell you how long, literally don't think twice! The corn tortilla, showed up perfect and not soggy. The tacos were actually FULL!

I ordered via Grubhub. read more

I really wanted to give this place a chance because of the awesome Uber Eats discount (buy one item get one free). What I selected was the Tinga De Pollo (Chipotle coated shredded chicken) taco. Was very pleased with how quick delivery was but my heart sunk the moment I tried the tacos. The taco soft shell was stale and my taco fillings did not have a kick to it whatsoever. I kept digging through the taco waiting for that yummy spicy filling flavor that's in many Mexican cuisines. It did not hit the spot. Even the texture was off. Maybe I ordered the wrong items from this place, just maybe. Perhaps next time I should go with my instincts to order the Carne Asada Gallo fries or the tortas. read more

Great food and great service! I really enjoyed my quesadilla and the food came out pretty quickly as well. Will be coming here again.

Great local taco shop, my favorite is the churro bowl. It is amazing, the churro are freshly made, crispy and warm and the ice cream taste like horchata or a cinnamon vanilla mixture. It will not disappoint. The fries are really good too with your topping of protein on top, heavy but delicious and filling. The tacos are good, birria is my fav, I also tried the al pastor, and barbacoa ones, sometimes the meat are a bit overcook and dried. They have different sauce but on the light spicy side, so usually I would pick medium but I had the spicy and it was good. read more

I have gotten a pulled pork burrito (regular sized burrito was worth it but their burritos are shrinking!! so the baby burrito is especially not worth it for the price and size) and churro bowl (slightly bitter at first) here before. That was good. But their tacos ain't it. I got 4 chorizo tacos for $14. The chorizo tasted like chorizo to a certain extent. Yes, the spice is there. But it felt so liquidated and minced. It was like I was eating spicy sloppy joe in a taco. I would not recommend it. For those who never had agua fresca tamarindo, it kind of tastes like apple juice (which is perfect because I was deciding between the agua fresca tamarindo and sidral). I would recommend trying it. Oh and also they have paper straws!!! The food is a bit pricey for the serving size but most of the stuff tastes good. read more

Awesome food. A huge plus is that they're open late and are fast to make your order, even when there's a rush. BOGO offers on UberEats are awesome 12/7/23 Update - ordered two tortas and two tacos and picked up around 9PM. I only got one chile de arbol sauce and I asked for two more as I like to put them on the tortas as well. The lady at the front who was expediting orders did not give a kind reaction that I asked for more - I did not appreciate that as I have ordered plenty in the past and have never had an issue. read more
