Fish tacos are pretty much the only type of tacos I like, and when I had a hankering for them, I gave El Gallo Taqueria a try. I found out they're a mini chain with decent ratings overall. I put all my eggs into one basket and got 4 of their fish tacos while my husband got birria tacos. The birria tacos were very meaty, even in the small bite I took. My fish tacos were pretty mid. The fish didn't taste as fresh as some other places (not that it tasted old). I saw a Google review that someone threw out their tacos because they thought their tortillas were moldy. And the restaurant responded saying it's the color from the red cabbage in the fish tacos. I confirmed only areas that touched the red cabbage in my tacos had a grayish tint. The fish batter was very crispy, but in a way that took center stage, which shouldn't be the case. The fish taco as a whole was pretty dry without the mild sauce, but the mild sauce was soooo %$#@$@#%#% spicy. Unfortunately, that was the least spicy option for the sauce, and what my husband and I both chose. We literally had to take breaks in between to deal with the spice. Afterward, I could still feel the heat in my stomach, and my husband did not have pleasant bathroom experiences. Safe to say, I will not be returning to this place if I ever want fish tacos again.

Sharp none that was super painful to bite into hidden in a burrito

I haven't ordered from here in a while and wanted to give them a second chance after noticing the quality of the food was going down. When they 1st opened we would eat there literally 2-3 times a week until we started getting more fat than meat in the carnitas and super dry steak that was chewy like beef jerky. I wish I had followed my gut instinct and not ordered because they did not follow the order notes I put in for an allergy concern and I almost broke my tooth when I bit down really hard on a sharp bone in the carnitas. I really want to support small businesses but this was definitely the last time I'll be ordering from them as 1/2 the food went in the garbage.

Super greasy on multiple occasions
Melissa N.

El Gallo was such a great place for us to enjoy a nice hearty meal and with their advertised promotions on Ubereats, it was even better! However, they quickly went from reasonable to ridiculous and the quality did not improve or even stay the same and it's just been worse. One day the baby burritos were $7 then jumped to $9.25. Gallo fries $12 then $15. Their side of salsa was $1.50 then jumped to $3.00 (double??) and pretty much everything else jumped up in price for us seemingly overnight since we were frequenting so much. There was no gradual increase at all. In addition, they are super stingy on the salsa. They give you a teeny cup, but it's hit or miss if you get a "full container" and we always buy extra anyway, but really feel "forced" to get more with how little is received nowadays and those are also not always filled up either!FORGET about asking for another mini container - they will straight up tell you no. You also get the same tiny sized container if you get the baby or the regular burrito. The only thing that feels the same is the $1.00 upcharge for certain meats and the taste is good, but it's hard to enjoy when you feel like you're getting effed - oh and when it's dripping all over and covered in grease making it soggy and not keep it's shape. Even with the Ubereats BOGOs, it no longer feels worth it. Maybe we will be back once in awhile, but sadly, we won't be regulars anymore.

Try this place one more time. Just in the chance they had a bad couple of days. Wel. Nope. No Seasoning. Dry meat. What a shame. That was my last try. My opinion. Not worth the money. Just isn't worth it. Good food is alway worth good money in my opinion. Bad food , should be corrected or not rewarded with sales.

Ordered off Uber eats when I was having some late night munchies. So many places close so early now but they close around 1am. Ordered two carne asada baby burritos. They're smaller than some other burritos but honestly it was the perfect size. It was filled and flavor was good. Not the best burrito I've ever had but it was pretty decent. Would order again next time I have late night cravings.

Carne burrito

BEST TACO IVE EVER HAD. PERIOD! Dennis was the best too :). New place in Brooklyn. Delicious delicious!

Shrimp and chicken tacos

I ordered after 11pm and the tacos still yazted fresh and was presented so well. The sauce wasn't too spicy.i loved every minute

Baby Burrito( Shrimp) with Guacasalsa.
Lisa A.

Where do I start? I'm in love with the Baby Burrito!!, you get a 10inch flour tortilla with your choice of filling and cheese, beans, rice, pico de gallo, guac, and Crema. I normally get a shrimp burrito with everything except avocado and extra Guacasalsa(Best sauce ever!!). When I say SEASONED! It's Seasoned!, spicy! Flavorful and so good! I can eat it everyday but I don't want my back to get extra big! But this is the only thing I order. I only order through Uber eats but one day I'll go in person to see the ambiance and service. But please El gallo! Never stops making delicious food 11/10 def recommend. Ps: I only have two pics because I keep forgetting to take more, I go straight to eating lol.

The food is usually good but tonight everything was eh. I ordered the fried chicken and fries for my kids and the chicken is sliced thin so it shouldn't be fried for too long, but clearly it was overcooked and hard like a rock. Fries were soggy mess. Disappointment for my kids.

Carne asada Gallo Fries
Nian Z.

Really good BOGOFree deals on UberEats sometimes! Carnitas Bowl: love the carnitas, which they give a good portion of. I've always gotten big pieces of fat along with the flavorful meat, which I know might not be everyone's thing, but I definitely enjoy it with some melt in the mouth fatty bites. All the components, tho not much variety if you're not paying extra, of the bowl are delicious, especially the soft, flavorful rice and the dollops of creama on top. YUM Carne Asada Fries: since it's delivery, it's expectedly soggy, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment for this dish! The sauce (Mayo?) for this is so good and they use real steak as a protein here that is cooked well. I love the cheese and crema, but whisked there was a lot more cheese for more bites of salty, cheesy goodness!

We randomly came here from a walk and wanted to check this place out. It's pretty big and nice inside. They have really good frozen margaritas that are strong. We also really enjoyed their tacos!

Tinga de pollo bowl and al pastor bowl
Michelle T.

I did not know what to expect, but I was starving on a Friday night and this popped up on Uber Eats. Since there was a buy one get one special, I went to town on ordering. Let me begin with from the time I ordered, to when it got delivered, everything was still warm and fresh. My first bites into the burrito bowl amazed with me with flavorful rice, beans, guac and sour cream. The al pastor flavor is certainly the best with pineapple and char flavoring. Then, onto the tacos which was a little too oily because it felt the tortillas were either drenched in oil or fried. This one I may pass next time. Ending with burritos was a great idea, it was stuffed and heavy. Out of all the meats we tried the al pastor, and the beef with cheddar cheese melt was the best. Definitely will be ordering again from this place !

I stopped by with friends before a 44th birthday celebration to grab some drinks and appetizers…read morebefore the main event. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, friendly and attentive all the way through to the bar. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of seating options and a great atmosphere. We tried the recommended octopus, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. The sangria was okay, though it wasn't the experience I was hoping for. The empanadas satisfied the craving, and the taquitos with their dipping sauce were definitely one of the highlights. We also ordered a few mixed cocktails and several of them were very good. Where this place really shines is the nightlife. The dance floor had a great vibe, and the DJ absolutely killed it by the end of the night. While the food was a mixed experience for me, I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere, drinks, music and overall nightlife.

The Good: Our Server: Absolutely amazing! Attentive,…read moreprofessional, and easily the highlight of the entire evening. The Ambience: The physical space and decor were very nice and well-designed. The Bad: The Gatekeeping vs. The Reality: The restaurant tries hard to pose as a high-caliber, fine-dining establishment--even going so far as to request that guests remove their hats and sunglasses before entering. However, this "elite" illusion was immediately shattered when we were welcomed by a hostess aggressively chewing gum like a cow. If you're going to enforce a strict, upscale dress code, the front-of-house staff should match that level of professionalism. The Vibe Dissonance: While the decor was lovely, the music and the DJ completely clashed with the overall look and feel of the venue. It felt confused about what kind of establishment it wanted to be and loud. The Food & Drinks: Mediocre: The food was just okay, and the drinks were simply alright. Nothing stood out or justified the high-end posturing. The Verdict: It was an interesting experience to try once, but between the mixed signals and average menu, we wouldn't go back.

A Stellar Experience at Mi Casa Tu Casa - Brick, NJ!…read more I recently called Mi Casa Tu Casa to ask if I could bring my Ocean County College Women's Basketball Team in for a team dinner the night before our season kickoff -- and from that first phone call, their excitement and kindness were unmatched! They were so happy to host us and made every step of the experience easy and enjoyable. They even offered our players 10% off their meals, which were absolutely delicious! The tacos are an incredible deal -- four for just $15-- full of flavor and perfectly portioned. The appetizers were reasonably priced and packed with taste, chips and salsa come to table when dinning in, and to top it off, the staff surprised us with a few sweet treats for the table as a thank-you gesture -- such a thoughtful touch that meant so much to our team. There's plenty of seating and space for groups, making it a great spot for family dinners, team outings, or celebrations. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to have us there. It's always special to support small businesses that continue to support our local programs, and Mi Casa Tu Casa truly embodies community, generosity, and great service. In today's tough economic climate, it felt amazing to dine somewhere that not only serves amazing food but also values people, community and connection. Ratings: Food: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 -- spacious, welcoming, and perfect for groups Pricing: $-$$ (great value for the quality and quantity!)

Very cute, vibe-y little spot, perfect for lunch with amazing drinks!…read more Very cute, festive cultural decor. Great music! Outdoor covered seating available. We started off with a round of drinks. A Mexican Coke, two types of mezcal margaritas that were amazing! The one with the blackberry syrup and thyme was INCREDIBLE! Our table also had a mocktail and it was delish! We started off with some guac and fresh chips. VERY SMALL SERVING. I would skip this dish based on the serving size alone. It wasn't worth it. And it wasn't that great to be so small. We also had a bowl of black bean soup. It was great! My daughter and I shared a plate of salsa verde enchiladas. Chicken. We loved them! The salsa-SO GOOD! The only thing that was spicy was the habanero salsa. But it was overly good! I couldn't help myself! We also each had a taco. And had a shrimp taco that was topped with a cool, crunchy coleslaw. She had a Birria taco. Both were perfect! My husband order a steak torta. He's a man of few words. But he seemed to be happy. My son in law had the molcajete and raved about it. It certainly looked beautiful! Look forward to coming back! Service was amazing! Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, had great recommendations, and was absolutely the sweetest!
