I stopped in for lunch and ordered a carnitas super burrito which was not at all expensive. I walked outside to make a quick telephone call, and the employees had everything bagged and readdy to go when I returned. I paid $16.35 after tax and tip and it came with a bag of chips and some salsa. The burrito was huge and one of the better ones I've had in a while. It was so big I cut it in two and save half for diner. I definitely would have lapsed into a food coma if I ate the whole thing. It was filled with rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and some tasty carnitas. The chips were fresh, crisp, and nice light brown color to them. They gave me a red and a green salsa which were loaded with fresh ingredients and a little spicy. I wish I had more of that salsa, I enjoyged every bite. This is definitely one I want to revisit the next time I'm in town.

As a vegetarian I could not find anything very suitable to order. I chose a crispy vegetarian taco and veggie enchilada. I requested cheese and avocado to be added. What arrived was hard to believe- the "crispy" taco was floating in a watery tomato sauce. I tried blotting it with my napkin, but there was just too much liquid. Therefore, the taco was mushy & soggy -the only thing inside of it was a very tiny piece of a potato. I asked about the cheese yet it never came. The veggie enchilada also was floating in liquid. The only vegetable was bell pepper Again, no cheese. I can't remember ever seeing these items on a bed of watery tomato sauce. The chips didn't taste house made and they were all right. I like spicy, but this particular watery salsa was quite spicy. We asked for a salsa Verde and that was a little bit better. My friend had the chicken enchilada and she said the chicken was overcooked and tough. Gosh, I feel bad. I really don't like to write the reviews, but it could've been much worse. The service did their best with what they could.

We drove from south Orange County early, so we arrived at our hotel very tired and a bit hungry. We decided Mexican food would be a good fit, and El Gallo was a short walk across the parking lot from the hotel. Walking in, we found a very small, hole-in-the-wall room with a few tables on the left and an open kitchen on the right. It smelled wonderful, and the man behind the counter (who also cooked our meal), asked if it was sit-down or to-go as we entered. He handed us menus and told us to sit anywhere. We both sat and faced their TV since team USA was about to begin their World Cup opener in about a half an hour, and they already had it up on the TV. The only other worker at the time was a woman who came and took our order. (Another cook came in as we were finishing the meal, but the two of them ran the place most of the time we were there.) During the course of the evening we learned that she and the cook were married. She was from Guatemala, and he was from Guadalajara, México. They were both very engaging when they had time to chat with us, and made us feel like family. My wife ordered a quesadilla, and I ordered the chicken fajitas. We also saw they had papusas on the menu, which is not a typical Mexican dish (this is why we asked where they were from). The woman from Guatemala brought the recipe with her, and she makes them by hand, one at a time. We shared an order and found them to be fantastic. They were very authentic. Good luck finding any better outside of Central America! The fajitas were so good... The chicken was tender and the veggies were grilled perfectly. They do not serve alcohol, so do not expect beer or margaritas. However, if you want a fantastic meal made to order with 100% fresh ingredients, this place is a definite stop for you. Quick side note... As the World Cup match was about to begin, the husband, the chef, originally from Guadalajara, México, stopped what he was doing and put his hand over his heart and stood at attention as they played the Star-Spangled Banner. It showed a deep contrast to the anti-immigration rhetoric we are inundated with daily. This is a hard-working family making a living out of the dream of opportunity in their new life here in America. Please give them a try.

When you're ready to pay, the portable payment terminal shows only the final total, without an itemized breakdown of the charges. If you pay by credit card, a 3% processing fee is added. I have no issue with the fee itself. My problem is that the sales tax is calculated on the total after the fee is added. The credit card fee should have nothing to do with the tax amount. Additionally, the suggested tip amounts are also calculated based on the total that includes both the sales tax and the credit card fee. Most customers expect tip percentages to be based on the pre-tax cost of the food and drinks. As a result, you end up giving a lot higher tip than you intended to. Because the payment screen does not show an itemized bill, it's very difficult to verify the charges or calculate a custom tip unless you remember the exact prices of everything you ordered. I hate when a restaurant's billing practice isn't transparent to customers.
