My first trip to El Gallo Tropical was to try their fish tacos as part of my goal to find the best…read morefish tacos in/around Hamilton Township. I'd known about them for years, but they were kind of out of the way for me. The place is small and unassuming, which gave me high expectations, as sometimes I find myself having lower expectations for a more "Mexican" decorated place (I'm wrong as often as I'm right). As far as the Fish Tacos went, they do not serve the Baja style fried fish tacos that I'd grown up on out west, so it was a downer when the plater arrived and I saw the tacos filled with chopped fish cooked in broth. That said, at least the taco was well filled and the fish had a very good flavor. The broth turned out to be a major issue, as the (very tasty) single layer tortillas were soaking up the broth while I ate the first taco, and the second and third tacos both split at the seams and fell apart after one or two bites. A second tortilla may have prevented this debacle, but I won't order fish tacos here again. I'd have loved a fish soup made in this style. The next visit I tried Tacos de Tripa (fried pork intestines), which is my current go to taco style. They were very good, and I enjoyed the heck out of them. They were nice and crispy as I'd requested, and the excellent tasting tortilla made them an excellent choice. My wife had a cheese tamal that had ribbons of poblanos inside as well, and it was also very good with the poblanos providing a nice balance to the heaviness of the cheese. I'd get both again in a heartbeat. My third visit was at lunchtime, and I opted for a Torta de Chili Relleno--essentially a chili relleno sandwich. It wasn't the first I've ever had, and it's a fave torta when I see them on the menu--which isn't often. The torta arrived with a nice sized chili relleno along with the usual smear of beans, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and a couple pieces of queso fresco served on a lightly toasted roll. Overall, the torta was very good tasting, and it went down nicely. However, I wish they used a little firmer roll instead of the soft one they did use. The torta was big and warm, and a crustier roll would have been better. The soft one used was near to collapsing under the weight of the ingredients. Fries are an option on the many torta options for a couple dollars extra. In retrospect, I'd have liked to have added a layer of fries to the sandwich for a little extra kick. All in all, El Gallo Tropical is a place I'll continue to go to. The staff is very friendly, and the menu is extensive (too big?). Although I had them initially at three stars after my first visit for fish tacos, the second (4+) and third (4-) visits have raised them up, and I'm rounding up to a four.

It is a soft opening only so food did take a little while but we enjoyed the ambiance felt elegant. It was a little chilly at first but it may have been because the rug had the door a bit open. Anywho, the girl was so nice and explained they were open at about 8 am and that there was a breakfast menu , kids menu, lunch/dinner menu -and lunch special menu. Please check their instagram for this info because they have so much variety. I had rice and beans mix so tasty, sweet potato mash soo so fresh and tasty and their chicken parm also full of flavor and tasty. What i appreciated was the options of sides and the fact they gave chips and tortillas or bread to fill you up! My husband had the surf and turf and was also happy with his plate(s). It was higher end place so it was priced accordingly I think. In the near future I will be trying some of their more simple items such as shakes, bowls, fancy pancakes, and checking out their $15 lunch special menu -I think it's available 12p-3p and comes with dessert!

My expectations were not high as I knew this location as Boardwalk Fries and a Portuguese restaurant the quickly went out of business - both of which I was not impressed with. So, I was really pleasantly surprised to walk into a tastefully, well decorated restaurant with full bar. Menus are on tablets with language selection capability - really useful and with pictures. The server came right away to offer help and explain some of the selections we were interested in. However, when we were eating, we were no disturbed. My wife had skirt steak. It was $30, but when you consider the cost of a skirt steak at the grocery store these days and that it came with 2 sides of your choice, I think you would agree its value. I had fish with garlic butter sauce. Don't know what kind of fish it was - didn't ask - but it was delicious. It also came with 2 sides and was only $20 as I remember. I enjoyed a Club Columbia beer with my meal and finished with a fantastic Columbia coffee. (I'm usually a cream and sugar kind of guy, but I took the chance to taste it without sugar and then finished without ever adding it. It was that good.) I had their flan for desert and really enjoyed it. A little thicker than Mexican flan with an almost cheesecake like consistency. My wife had a passionfruit desert which really didn't interest me - not a passionfruit fan, but after 1 taste I found myself going back for another and then another. Overall great food and experience. A note that others have pointed out. When I got the bill, the bottom line was like $97 and that usually includes tax and mor recently a credit card surcharge. I was about to add a tip when I notice 20% had already been included in that $97. So, my meal cost was only $75.00. If you choose to eat here, remember this.

Ok I left that so that you could see what my initial problem was, but I am extremely impressed with a quick response from Ricardo, who I believe is one of the owners and the help I got from the restaurant itself. And yes, I found several people that spoke English. And I'm so happy to be able to update this because the food is out of this world. But they did tell me that I have to order through DoorDash that I can't order for delivery through them so just note that And definitely stop by because this food is so outstanding that I don't believe there's any other Mexican restaurant that can touch this I lived in Arizona for five years and I found out what real Mexican food taste like and all the wonderful fresh ingredients they use like the American version of Chinese food.

Service is friendly and efficient. Orders are made at the counter, or, dare you dare, via QR codes located at the table. Parking is limited, and because it's located between two one-way streets, it can be tricky coming in to or leaving. The Sopes at La Taqueria are a must to try. They're heavily ladened with tasty toppings, and I'd order them again in a heartbeat. The chorizo sope was especially good, and had enough chorizo on it to make two Sopes. Be forewarned that you will not have clean hands after eating them. On another visit I tried the fish tacos. Fish tacos at La Taqueria are the chopped/shredded variety rather than the deep fried filet version. The tortillas themselves were heated well, but were nothing special, nor was the flavor of the fish itself anything remarkable. I expected something more interesting from the place. On the flip side, I also tried a Taco de Tripa, asking for it to be cooked crisp (Tripa in Mexico is pork chitterling, not tripe) and it was very, very (feel free to insert more verys) good, and is definitely a taco I'll try again and again. During our most recent visit, we had the Enchiladas de Pollo en Mole, which brought four enchiladas in a deeply flavored mole with rice and beans. The mole was not sweet like so many other moles in other area restaurants, but was instead relying heavily on the flavors of the chiles. It was very tasty, and a nice change from the usual sweet moles. We also had an excellent Huarache de Lengua, a thick, oval tortilla ladened with beef tongue. I have a feeling my wife will be ordering it each time we return. In addition, we ordered a bowl of the Sopa de Panza y Pata, a soup with a spicy broth and loaded with cow's hooves and tripe. It was a meal in itself, and was also served with rice on the side along with some thick corn gorditas. I was torn between four and five stars here, and if the fish tacos hadn't been such a bust, they'd probably have gotten that fifth star. La Taqueria is definitely in the top tier of local Mexican/Guatemalan restaurants, and will be part of our regular rotation going forward.

I have tied to be a fan, but am just not there. I'll start with the positives. The drive through takeout utilizing a bank drive through window is pretty cool, I prefer to just walk in but can see how some would find it easier to stay in vehicle. I like that they have ground beef as an option in tacos and other dishes, theirs is basically ground beef with little to no seasoning, but not oily or salty. All tacos seem to be served with pickled red onions too. My dine in experience a year ago was lackluster to be kind. Queso fundido dip was NOT fun. Fried pickles( not my idea to order) forgettable. I was coerced by the kind waiter not to order my first choice of entree, I went with a chicken chimi and again, not even a gringo restaurant worthy version . After that visit I wrote this place off as there are several better ones closer to home. I returned again due to a recent search for the best breakfast burritos in this area . I ordered a bacon burrito with light sauce. It was good, very small in stature and not very much egg. If I grabbed this from a fast food place I might think I found the holy grail( for half of this ones price) but it wasn't even served with containers of salsa. Backed it up with ok ground beef tacos, saved by the pickled red onions. I know that many like this place, but for the items I order, it's just not my favorite. With the original Btown location reopening soon, I'm more apt to go there next.

I was pleased to see that they had my favorite fresh fruit drink, Tamarindo, so we were off to a good start The chicken tortilla soup had a good flavor, but it had no tortilla strips in it, and I had to ask for them. It also had pieces of corn and other veg in too. I know every family has their own version, but I wondered if my new to the job server brought me the wrong soup. It was good, but it was an unusual departure from my experience with the many, many chicken tortilla soups I've had elsewhere. The meal was more than taken to a new level with the main dish, which was by far, one of the best chili rellenos dishes I've had in the area. The chilies and cheese were good in themselves, but it was the red sauce that was the real star of the plate--not super spicy, but spicy enough and super flavorful. Chili rellenos have always been my litmus test for a Mexican place, and this one definitely passed the test. Along with the chilies, there was a choice of pinto or black beans, which is great, because most of the places around here seem more black bean centric, and I grew up on pintos. I would 100% return for this dish. The next visit was for breakfast, and I had the famous Huevos Rancheros, and they lived up to expectations. The excellent pinto beans provided a base for perfectly cooked eggs and a very good house made sauce. If you're expecting the melted cheese covered mess seen in many places, then you're in for a treat. The dish came with a side of potatoes, and they gave me the option of deep fried home fries. I don't like home fries as a rule (they're boring, hash brown wannabes), but the deep fry gave them flavor and a crispy outer layer, something lacking in most home fries. There were a handful of burned ones, but they died for a good cause. Our other dish was a very good California Benedict with a healthy serving of avocado, bacon, and two more correctly cooked eggs. I don't know, but getting an over-easy egg seems pretty hard to get right sometimes, so it's always a small victory when it actually happens. Service was attentive on both visits, and the inexperienced server from my first trip was assisted by a more experienced one midway through the service. Both breakfast plates and the main lunch dish I tried were absolute winners and worthy of repeating. The chicken tortilla soup didn't set my heart aflame, and I wouldn't get it again except to see if it's the same.
