    The spread. Burritos are a tad smaller than I thought they would be but overall a good amount of food
    Jay L.

    Ordered off Postmates and they had a buy one get deal going for a few of their dishes. The burritos came a bit smaller than anticipated but maybe because it was BOGO. Either way, it was good overall but taste wise it could've been seasoned a bit more. The tres leches was surprisingly good.

    Over the weekend, the street is closed off so the restaurants and the bar on this block can set up an outside area for dining or drinking. The crowd at the bar could get loud! The tables were spread out enough, and the staff all had masks on. Masks are required to wear inside. My wife had the burrito carnitas. The pork is savory and tender. She cut it in half and has lunch for tomorrow. The chips were nice and crunchy. The salsa and the guacamole were both very good. I tried tres tacos; carnitas, steak and shrimp. All three were delicious. I didn't have any leftovers. The side of rice and beans was also excellent. I didn't ask for or get any limes. Luckily, I had my own, but make sure you ask if you don't have any. They have a few different flavors of jarritos and coke. The flan was extra sweet and caramel flavored. The food here is delicious, the staff was friendly and the prices are reasonable. Great local spot!

    Highly recommend! Food is amazing. We have ordered from them many times and never disappointed. We also used their catering service and everyone enjoyed the food so much they were asking for the menus - which we happily shared! Rei the owner is the best!

    Puebla burrito in front and Tacos Bandera in back, paired with our own beer!

    Great BYOB Mexican restaurant! I've had lunch and dinner here and every time has been delicious. I love getting the Puebla Burrito, which comes with a flavorfully rich and aromatic mole sauce on top. My friend loved the Tacos Bandera (breaded chicken with chipotle-honey sauce!) and I often see other tables ordering the Sizzling Fajitas that always look irresistably good. If you have room for dessert, I also highly recommend the fried cheesecake! Finally, the staff have been very attentive and caring during each visit, oftentimes earnestly asking how anything from the food to the service can be made better. I am looking forward to many more meals (and drinks!) at El Gallo!

    Steak tacos. Very clean presentation

    The ordering experience couldn't be better. I placed an order via Yelp and it was delivered within 20 minutes. I've never had such an amazing delivery experience. I wish I could say the same for the food. My husband ordered the steak tacos (it comes with complimentary chips, salsa, rice and beans), and I ordered the empanadas (2 per order). We were super excited to try our food, expecting an explosion of spices and flavors as expected in Mexican/ Spanish food. The presentation of the food was great, nice and clean. But when my husband took one bite of his tacos and he said it's horrible. There wasn't even salt on his steak tacos. My empanadas were bland as well, but the salsa definitely helped. The chips weren't salted either. I gave 3 stars because of the super fast delivery, but the food only deserves 1 star. They can definitely use some more spice/ flavors.

    Came from California to visit family and this was the first stop. The first thing we had was the queso dip and man was it amazing! We also had 2 orders of shrimp tacos and enchilada suizas, it was so good best I've ever had! The margaritas were also a nice touch. The staff is super friendly owner is really cool and our server Melanie was great, she had some good jokes.

    Free chips & salsa Salsa was awesome!

    The Yelpers got this one right 5* all the way. My wife's Chicken Quesadilla was filled with chicken and very tasty.. She liked it alot. I had the Hawthorne platter 1 Soft ground beef taco and 2 carnitas enchilada's with rice and refried beans,. All 3 were very good. The salsa that came with the free chips was awesome. Ray the owner was very sociable.We would go back in a Manhattan minute!!!

    Burrito Bowl!!! So good!
    Alison R.

    Had another great meal and delivery experience with El Gallo tonight! I switched it up and ordered the Burrito Bowl, which was delicious and a large portion so I'll be having left overs! My husband ordered the Hawthorne platter which was also awesome. Definitely our go-to Mexican delivery spot!

    Excellent food & service. The owner Rei works hard to take care of his customers. So happy El Gallo is part of Hawthorne.
