    Nachos
    Sarah Z.

    I've heard good things about this new El GallonTaqueria location, but I've got to say it is just OK in my opinion. I've tried their birria ramen and nachos. The birria ramen is too salty for my taste and just doesn't have that birria flavor I crave. The nachos are pretty good. The prices are higher in this location because it's DUMBO, but I notice it's also pricier compared to other Mexican spots in the neighborhood. The restaurant is pretty big with many tables. During lunch time, it's just a lot of takeout orders and it took a while to get mine so make sure you order earlier or call ahead.

    Carne Asada Burrito Bowl (no cheese, no sour cream)
    Devashis R.

    Quick decision to swing by on a Saturday after an event across the street ended around 9:30pm. Moderately busy for that time, I'm sure not having too many options in the immediate area makes it a good choice. It's a quick serve so you order at the counter and they'll bring it out to you. I ordered the carne asada burrito bowl without cheese and sour cream. Staff was nice and asked if I wanted any hot sauce, and when I mentioned I liked spicy, he said he had something I'd like. I think was some kind of habanero sauce (it was reddish orange color) and def had a kick to it. I liked that the carne asada and guacamole seemed fresh. I wish the hot item wasn't served in a plastic container, but what are ya gonna do? I felt everything was ok but nothing special. I believe they serve breakfast all day and they also have a bar that serves alcohol. I'd go back but wouldn't make a special trip for it.

    Tajin rim margaritas, carne asada burrito, Chilaquiles with al pastor

    Had an awesome lunch at El Gallo Cocina. We ordered a carne asada burrito and the meat was tender and the salsas were finally bringing the heat I was craving. We also got chilaquiles with Al Pastor and that was even better! Loved the food, yet the margaritas were the real star of the show, we had to order multiple after the first round with tajin rims. Shoutout to Dennis for the great service and the fire recommendation of ordering a Mexican coffee at the end. Would recommend this place

    ? I got disappointed about food, remember seasoning it's so important, still lots of restaurants don't understand what's service and hospitality difference is! There was ambience here, this place needs a waitress, manager and busboy, I don't believe it will survive one more year. Good luck

    Taco Gallo Fries
    Sarah Z.

    I thought the food was solid - I've been waiting for decent and good Mexican in the area and have not found anything that is priced well and delicious. I thought the tamales were spot on and I hadn't had a good one in so long, they taste homemade and I loved the texture and flavors (had the jalapeño/tomato/onion one). We also ordered the fries, chicken chipotle taco was ok and the carnes was good. Very casual restaurant so easy to dine in or grab and go. It was bustling for late lunch hour (3pm).

    Wow. We just got off the Brooklyn Bridge in Dumbo and stumbled upon this little gem. The restaurant was clean. Dennis was super friendly and helpful, and the food. Wow! I had the carne asada burrito. There were a lot of toppings, but the carne asada was seasoned perfectly. It really hit the spot. Not too expensive. My lunch was about 15 bucks with a drink.

    Burrito

    I ordered a buy one get one burrito off Postmates. Honestly it was the thinnest and tiniest burrito I've ever gotten. Smaller than a Taco Bell burrito. If it wasn't for the free one I'd still be hungry. I'm not kidding they only filled half of the tortilla. Not to mention the chicken was extremely chewy almost like rubber. I'm giving it a 2 Star because everything else was good. How fast it came, the other ingredients in the burrito etc. but overall not worth $13 a burrito imo.

    I got the lengua aka cow tongue. It was blah and tasteless. I wish it had more seasoning.

    Pozole, Birria taco, carne asada taco
    Margaret F.

    Repeat customer, highly recommend! The pozole and birria taco are my favorite dishes so far. Really great quality for the price. The girl serving at the front during lunch on 12/14 was also very kind and helpful.

    Burrito size. Awfully small

    Found myself craving Mexican (specifically, Birria) one Friday evening after a long work week…read more Nenes Taqueria hit the spot in every way I wanted. I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

    I tried their Birria deluxe set that comes with a Birria taco, Birria empanada, Birria Mulita, and…read moreconsome for $16. That's a great deal! The Birria taco was good! The empanada was not like the usual closed off empanada, it was like open like a taco but instead of a taco shell, it was like the empanada dough. I didn't try the mulita yet but it was huge. Filling between two tortillas and I saw some guac filling as well. The consome was good! Not too salty - and has general pieces of meat inside the soup. The tacos were good but I felt like it lacked a little depth. I added some of the mango(?) it was a sweetish salsa and that gave it a nice little kick.
