Review Summary

Overall, El Gallo attracts praise for bold Peruvian flavors, generous portions, and solid value, with frequent nods to Pollo a la Brasa, ceviche mixto, and accompanying sides like fries and a fresh salad. The roasted chicken is often described as juicy and well seasoned, and the bread and crispy fries are noted as standout touches that add to the meal. Service is generally friendly and attentive in many visits, while a few reviews point to inconsistent preparation, hygiene concerns, and occasional gaps in table care. Takeout is commonly praised for freshness and tasty dishes, and portions can be large enough for sharing, reinforcing El Gallo as a reliable option for Peruvian comfort food. A few comments call for improvements in consistency and upkeep, but the overall impression is of a lively spot that delivers flavorful food and generous portions at approachable prices.

As a Peruvian & a big time picky eater, I can attest to the great quality of this restaurant. The wait time was reasonable which made the service superb. My order was a pollo a la brasa (chicken breast) with salad & fries & it tasted just like home. Will definitely come back soon to try other dishes on the menu.

Ive visited the restaurant for the peruvian roasted chicken "pollo a la brasa" different times here & it was ok! However, this last time I went there it tasted nothing, not like Peruvian roasted chicken, even the seasoning was not there, the oven tasted either, potatoes not as usual either. It seemed like supermarket roasted chicken but expensive.

Im half Peruvian & I went there on a sunday, middle afternoon for lunch, everything was delicious, & the staff really friendly. I had the pollo a la brasa (breast) with rice & a chicha morada so so good !! I recommend the chicha morada. The green & yellow sauce are a little spicy.

El pollo a la brasa lo considero bueno (es algo que sin duda pediría. Es lo más seguro y rico que puedes comer allí). Fui el viernes 15 de marzo y pedí un Lomo Saltado, y fue el peor lomo saltado que he comido en mi vida (seco, sin jugo, sin nada) Si la pregunta es: volvería ir? La respuesta es Sí. Pero solo a comer "Pollo a la brasa". Por lo demás no sabrás que vas a encontrar, y puedes terminar muy molesto como en mi caso.
