Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe El Gallo as a spot with generous portions and flavorful Peruvian fare, with the signature Pollo a la Brasa repeatedly praised for its juicy, marinated, and crispy skin, and the meals often accompanied by bread, fries, and fresh salad that diners say balance the richness. The menu and atmosphere are described as casual and inviting, suitable for takeout or a relaxed meal in, with many praising fresh ingredients and solid value for the price. While many visits are highlighted for tasty food, several notes point to inconsistencies, including overcooked chicken, reheated items, or flavors that don’t meet expectations, and some diners report hygiene concerns, missing utensils, or imperfect table service. Ceviche, sandwiches, and other Peruvian staples receive positive mentions, along with friendly service and a warm, homey vibe in the dining area. In sum, El Gallo is seen as a strong option for hearty Peruvian comfort food and reliable Pollo a la Brasa, with overall flavor and value winning over some occasional missteps.

Esperamos 1h30 para recibir nuestra comida. Ordenamos una jalea y solo recibimos los mariscos. Le dijimos al mesero que faltaban las yucas. Pues nunca llegaron. También ordenamos café y nos dijeron después de mas de una hora que se había acabado el café. Al final, nos dieron un descuento de 6$ para disculparse. Pésima experiencia.

We always get the ceviche & rice with seafood. It's pricey but delicious. Really friendly service.

I've rarely had a worse dining experience. We ordered the family combo, but everything felt like day-old leftovers; the Peruvian chicken & fries were clearly just reheated & served lukewarm. To make matters worse, the timing was absurd… they brought the fries & salad out, & we sat staring at them for 10 minutes before the chicken finally arrived.

The service was the final straw. Despite the menu stating the combo included a beverage, the waiter tried to sneak an extra charge onto our bill. I literally had to point to the menu to prove him wrong, & he just offered a weak excuse. For these prices, the quality is really bad. I won't be back.

Poulet rôti inoubliable !
Attention, le menu famille est très imposant. Nous avions pris frites & riz & nous en avons deux gros saladiers!

Por primera vez quería probar la tan famosa gastro peruana, decepción. Mala preparación e higiene de los alimentos. Alimentos refritos. El sabor, nada q ver.

Repas pauvre en qualité pour le prix. Poulet semble de la veille, trop cuit.
Service aux tables manque de soin. (Pas d'ustensile, demander de nettoyer la table, pas de demande à comment on trouve le repas) Je donne 1 étoiles de plus pour l'intérêt du jeune homme à s'être intéressé à mon avis & vouloir s'améliorer. Je ne donnerais malheureusement pas de 3e chance pour une autre occasion :(
Bref j'espère que le commentaire aura aider sinon bonne continuité !

How often do you walk into a new place & it instantly becomes your must-go spot? 😍 This restaurant completely surprised me - the food is easily ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ quality, & when you factor in the price, it deserves even more stars! ✨

I came in not even that hungry, just looking for a small bite & a beer 🍺. Then the pork sandwich caught my eye… & wow 🤩 it blew me away! The portion is huge - thick, juicy pork full of flavor, served on bread that tastes like it just came straight out of the oven 🍞. On top of that, the plate comes with crispy fries 🍟, a fresh salad 🥗, & even an extra piece of that delicious bread - all for only $18!! Unbelievable value 💯.

I heard their roasted chicken 🍗 is actually the signature dish, & after seeing other people order it, I have to come back for that. If you're looking for food that's generous, flavorful, & truly satisfying, this is the spot! Highly recommend 😋👏

Une très bonne portion, rien de spectaculaire, le goût était acceptable & le prix très raisonnable. Un sandwich au chicharrón avec frites & salade à 18 $ aurait largement suffi pour deux personnes, mais je ne l'ai pas terminé.

Las papas que vienen con el pollo a la braza, vienen con cascara y es mal visto..... Nuevamente fui al restaurant'El Gallo' y verdaderamente horrible las papas fritas, estan de la misma forma y estan malogradas, las frien y les dan a los comensales y a la clientela que hacen pedidos con anticipacion, SERVICIO A LA CLIENTELA DEBERIA TOMAR EN SERIO Y VERIFICAR TODOS LOS RESTAURANTE EN LA RUE ST.HUBERT.
