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.

Definitely get their loaded nachos and hibiscus tea when you're there extremely filling and delicious!! This place definitely has a lot of people getting takeout so the staff is very busy but accommodating . There's plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating if you prefer. The interior is filled with a western Mexican theme, which just adds onto the authenticity of the restaurant and food!

Just wish it had a bit more substance to it. Chips were good, possibly house made? Their house salsa left a lot to be desired - way too thin - but, again, good flavor. The fireball salsa had nice heat and an earthy taste that I enjoyed. I assume it comes from the use of dried peppers? Only note on that one is that it's too blended. I'm guessing their salsas are more sauces than dipping condiments? Either way, flavor was there. The burrito is for lunch tomorrow so if there's anything earth shattering that requires me to come back, you'll know. =)

I've been hearing great things about this place for years. I'll confess that I'm not a big…read morebreakfast or brunch type, but when another Yelper touted their cheesesteak I had to try it. A friend recently moved to Morrisville and I found myself in the area at lunchtime after a visit. I wanted to try a few things but it looked as though the steak was a big one, so I just had that. The fries that came with it were very good too. As was foretold, the steak was one of the best I've had in years. Let me start with the roll, long seeded torp that had a light toasting. ALL steaks should be so lucky as to have this as a delivery vehicle, most sandwiches too. The beef was tender and nicely seasoned and cheese and onions were evenly distributed throughout. The portion size/cost was very fair, this was 2 meals for me. My only critique would be on the Cooper American cheese used. I would prefer a sharper cheese, Cooper sharp or even provolone. I'll inquire if there are other options. Even if there weren't, I'd still get this anytime. I saw several other lunch items of interest to me, and in the right frame of mind and early enough several breakfast options too. Service was friendly and fast. I'll likely be back next for the shrimp tacos, or just another steak. I'm at a 4.5 with just the one visit, stay tuned....

We have come mostly on a Friday afternoon for dinner and the place is very empty. Which is so sad because the decor alone is reason enough to come here and give them a chance! It is like transporting yourself to a fun restaurant in downtown Cancun. Every single wall is painted or has some type of artisanal art work....plus can we talk about the GIANT HORSE in the middle of the restaurant! Alright now for the food, I would highly recommend getting the tacos Al pastor. They are some of the best tacos and come filled to the brim with delicious meat and pineapple. We always get a plate of these! The next thing I would not miss are the sopes, my husband loves these because they remind him of crunchy arepas. They bring a delicious salad, tons of cheese and meat. Just make sure to ask for some salsa Verde and creme to go with them. Finally if you like Birria, I highly recommend the Queso Birria or the Birria Pizza if you have an appetite. Both have perfectly seasoned meat and great for sharing. As for drinks I would not miss the Mangonaza or the Horchata, both are perfect to balance your meals. Make sure to check this place out and see what you think, you will probably see me there too!
