Food is great, we usually have the menudo & barbacoa on Sundays after church. It's a good local owned business

I am in town for work and wanted some caldo. I searched around on Yelp and found a few good reviews about the beef caldo. It was a little weird that the vegetables were still hard but it did give it a fresh texture that I have never experienced in my life. The broth was full of flavor and even the portions of vegetables were just right. I'm used to getting a lot of one vegetable and it seems like they have the vegetables portioned out for each bowl.

The food was soured and expired tasting and I threw up 5 to 6 times while I was there and I had the beef enchiladas with queso on top with rice and beans and a side of sliced avocado and my mother went back in there to tell them I threw up and they told her that they check the food every day and I don't believe it because how would I have gotten sick ? If they checked the food every day and I go there all time and I wasn't allergic to anything in that dish but please be careful and go at your own risk if you want but the desserts and drinks are good but please just be careful !!! read more

This was a great spot for dinner in Granbury, Texas. We started out with a chili con queso; which is a must when you're in Texas. They usually serve it with flour tortillas - and these tortillas were homemade and delicious. My sister ordered the fajitas which were super fresh and delicious! But i think the chicharrón sope was my favorite, hands down. Regardless, you can't go wrong! Ohhhhh and order a paloma! They are delicious as are the micheladas. read more

This was my first time at this establishment and first impression I thought it was cute. The food tasted authentic and was very good however the customer service was lacking in such a way I will not be back period and honestly I encourage anyone else considering this place to keep Moving on down the street. The waitress "Yolet", the best description I can give is inexperienced even she claims the opposite. Things that individuals were allergic were still left on the plate, items were never rang in, but additional charges for multiple sides of condiments or other charges were. This may not be a popular location all the time but customer service like that will guarantee a loss of tip every time. read more

El Gallo De Oro - Mexican Near Me - Granbury, Texas

Great Mexican breakfast and quick service. Get there early on the weekend to make sure you get parking.

They removed the prices from the menu making it difficult to order. Mixed drink prices have been raised. Mixed drinks are slow to be made. Food portions seem to be getting smaller. I once liked this place, but it has changed so much that it just doesn't feel the same. I would rather go to another place, Fort Worth, Glen Rose, or Stephenville. read more

The best breakfast burritos and tortilla soup you will ever have! This is my go to for breakfast or a cold day.

We recently moved to Granbury, TX. In the past four weeks, we've dined at four different area Mexican restaurants. Of the four, we liked El Gallo de Oro the best. They had great food with a nice variety of menu items. read more

Like others - no pricing on the menus for or any of the meals is a DEAL BREAKER. In addition there was a charge for a very very small bowl of chips/salsa. Also a deal breaker. And we had to finally ask for it and no notice that we'd be charged. Sadly I must say the food was quite good and salsa delicious. But I would never return or recommend this restaurant. The server may have been new and was certainly untrained. There were 3 in our party and we ordered 2 entrees plus margaritas and beer. Thoughtlessly she brought us only 2 silverware packets and seemed very surprised when we asked for 1 more. In addition we had to ask for water. I wonder why they are even in business. read more

Great Mexican food, we love this for breakfast or dinner. Cold brews, great service and good Mexican food, not texmex

The food lacked flavor and the server couldn't get our order correct. The scrambled eggs were supposed to contain sausage and cheese yet I had difficulty finding ANY. We had to go ask for our tortillas that came with the breakfast. read more

Molcajeti bowls is awesome, great service with a smile. We love this place, cold brews and margaritas, just wish they had grande margaritas, maybe those will come soon. read more

Authentic Mexican! The salsa was a cross between a salsa verde and regular salsa. Second time we have ate here since moving to Granbury. Will be a regular place of ours to eat at. read more

We love coming here almost every weekend! The food is always good and as far as the service, well they young ladies always have a smile on their face you just have to remember. they're young and learning! Do you come here to critique them or to enjoy the food which is always good! Enjoy the lake view, good food and relax :) As far as other reviews i'd ask yourself was your good good? Was it hot? Well then enjoy it and if you need one of the young ladies just say something like you said they are right over there at the bar! lol Happy New Year everyone! read more

Ordered 2 breakfast taco and they are exactly as I ordered, tasty, and fresh. Tortillas were freshly warmed and not sitting on a steam table which means my to-go order arrived and nothing was soggy. It will soon be on the "clean-plate" short list. I will eat here next time I'm in town. read more

blasted music too loud. We were trying to watch during the 4th of July and they not only kept their lights on, but their music was too loud. read more

We tried this place three times and we were disappointed each time. The food was rated by my Hispanic friend as the best. I guess our taste buds differ greatly. Texans are very critical of Mexican, Barbecue and steak . This food is almost inedible. No flavor and poor service. Good location but bad management. read more

Great food! Loved the huevos rancheros! And the homemade tortillas were on point. Service was good too!

Good food, nice staff, comfy atmosphere Would recommend going back again for good food read more

Enchiladas are always my go to when trying a New Mexican restaurant. They were very bland. No real flavor. Service was very slow. The people were friendly. Overall ambience was good. read more

Foods were okay, but they keep the lost and found and never return to you. I left my shades, called 3 days later NADA, nothing. They even said: well, if no body calls within a few days we bring everything home?! WTF! This is why people have stereotypes, you go eat tacos better check your seats before you left, coz the staffs will not give you the lost and found back regardless. Lesson learned. Too bad, not many restaurants in Granburry but definitely NOT coming back here due to the poor integrity value. Imagine what's going into the food! read more

Don't know why yelp is giving them 3.5 stars. My wife and I liked this place. First, the food was delicious. A prerequisite for any 5 star review. Second, the surprising thing was the amount of western food served, too: pancakes, eggs and bacon, burgers, etc. But, third, what was awesome if when my daughter dropped a piece of bacon and they brought 3 replacements just in case any other bacon was accidentally dropped. Thank you! We will be coming back! read more

I placed a pickup order for Menudo and seafood platter, which was excellent. I will be back for Menudo.

Requested a single item be taken off a sit down order because it was cold and inedible. Enchiladas Mexicanas. Asked very nicely, but both waiter and cashier refused. I'm a frequent flyer at this place; asked them "Are you sure?" They said, "Yes." El Gallo de Oro--wow. You succeeded in keeping $10 on a large tab. But you lost a customer in the process. read more

The worse Mexican Restaurant that I've patronized. First off they charge you for Chips and Salsa with the chips served a bowl the size of what you'd eat cereal from. Second, I ordered a Frozen margarita that was barley frozen and served in an orange juice glass. Lastly, the Queso cheese was more like Nacho Cheese. The meal portions didn't match the amount I was charged. This was definitely a struggle restaurant that I wouldn't recommend nor return to. read more

This place was very close to the square. Within walking distance. The food was great. A very cute, Mexican atmosphere. I had the ceviche and it was delicious. I also have Lengua tacos, which were marvelous. Highly recommend this place. read more

The food was good just that they don't tell you when they offer you chips and salsa that there's a charge for it they make it sound like it's free read more

Food was good. Prices super affordable. Staff was friendly. Service was fast. Had the mole enchiladas, fajita plate, steak tacos and tea leches cake. read more

WE see this Restaurant when ever we drive into downtown Granbury. It always seems to have cars around it so we thought we would try it. 1st thing you notice is that teh TV is set on the Spanish channel and that we were by far one of the few gringos., therefore we expected good Mexican food. The 2nd thing was, and we should have gotten up and walked out, was the menu had NO PRICES on it. We had to ask the waiter what the prices were and he had to look them up. RED FLAG #1. He asked if we wanted chips and salsa. Without thinking we said yes. It is not free and most likely the worst we ever had. Bowl of chips and a bowl of red seasoned broth. No texture to the sauce, just broth. That explains why most people there did ot eat it. My chimichanga was on the low side of quality. The meat was over cooked to just south of qualifying as shoe leather. My wife had the Burrito and it was filled with chicken and good, so stay away from the beef. The usually drinks max out around $2,99 for a soda, not here, they know where to make money. The service was missing, Every time we wanted a refill, a box to go or the bill, we had to ask another waiter/waitress to find out guy. The final thing was trying to get a copy of my credit card receipt. He printed out his, but could not figure out how to get a copy. After getting a boss, she too coudl not produce a copy. We tried it and it got us so not ever going back. They will do good because of location - location and tourists. read more

New update review: don't eat here, there was an ambulance outside. Must be from the quality of food being served here like before.

The service here is like as bad as it gets. EVERY SINGLE TIME! We come at least 2 times a week because the food is always very good. The young girl with curly hair and the other young girl that always has a little braid. They literally can have a couple tables and still wait tables like they are slammed. They will sit over in bar area and eat and drink instead of waiting on their tables. I don't know why I keep coming back! read more

Very good food and great service it has a great view of the lake too! The booths were big and is a very authentic Mexican restaurant feel. Definitely recommend! read more

Not fancy but you can't beat the quality or the food. Original Mexican food. Good service. Really got to try some good Mexican food you don't find anywhere else around Granbury. read more
