After moving from Arizona over three years ago, I have been searching for a place that could get me my fix of quality Mexican cuisine. This is that place.

It was a quieter evening when my group came in but the wait staff was very friendly and quickly brought us menus and chips. ( Very good chips to boot)

$14 for Guacamole and chips and they dont even have parking or sell alcohol. Ended up not staying so I can’t rate the food. Server was a younger guy with a little bit of an attitude.

Not authentic. Ordered tacos al pastor for takeout and the meat in the tacos was cold. No pineapples in it (al pastor). Overpriced for the quality. Payed for a side of guac and it was literally a chunk of the avocado in the cup (thats not guacamole)

This is the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in this part of Bergen county. The tres tacos with carnitas is my favorite.

I love this place! It’s comforting and delicious. The quality is great! I was in the market for a new “go to” spot for Mexican food and El Gallo was the hands down winner. I recommend the enchiladas and the carnita flautas.

I have ordered with my family often since opening day. I have never once gotten a bad meal! I know most of the servers and they are all very nice I would highly recommend and I absolutely love love love the owner. He’s funny and kind. Please order from here I highly recommend. ( I know I have said I highly recommend like a ton of times but I really do highly recommend!!!) They have definitely taken all of your reviews to heart and are sure to incorporate everyone’s opinions.
