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.

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 😋👏

If you're craving the best Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa in Montreal, look no further than El Gallo on Rue St-Hubert! This gem serves up perfectly marinated, juicy, & tender rotisserie chicken with that signature smoky, crispy skin that keeps you coming back for more. The flavors are authentic & bold-truly a standout in the city's vibrant Peruvian food scene.

Beyond the star chicken, the sides complement the meal perfectly, & the casual, cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Locals rave about the generous portions & fair prices, making El Gallo a fantastic choice whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout.

If you want to experience real Peruvian comfort food done right, El Gallo is a must-visit. Don't miss out on their legendary Pollo a la Brasa-it's hands down the best in town!

Perfect for foodies & anyone looking to spice up their routine with some delicious Peruvian flavors. Highly recommended!

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.

Delicious Peruvian Fare at Gallo - A Must-Visit in Jean Talon My recent visit to Gallo, nestled in the vibrant Jean Talon area, was a delightful culinary journey that I'm eager to share. If you're a fan of Peruvian cuisine or looking to dip your toes into its rich flavors, Gallo should undoubtedly be on your list. First off, the food was an absolute highlight. The chicken, which seems to be a staple of their menu, was cooked to perfection. Opting for the half chicken for two, my dining companion & I were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. It was more than enough for us, accompanied by a hearty serving of fries. The sauces served alongside were not only delicious but also catered to those who might shy away from spicy food, striking the perfect balance of flavor without the heat. The service at Gallo deserves special mention as well. Our experience was marked by prompt & attentive service, ensuring that our meal was both enjoyable & smooth. It's always a pleasure to dine at a restaurant where the staff make you feel welcome & valued, & Gallo did just that. Another aspect that sets Gallo apart is its value for money. It's refreshing to find a restaurant where you can enjoy high-quality food that doesn't break the bank. This place proves that you don't have to compromise on quality for affordability. In conclusion, Gallo is a gem in Jean Talon, offering delicious Peruvian cuisine, excellent service, & great value. Whether you're a long-time lover of Peruvian food or curious to try something new, I highly recommend giving Gallo a visit. It's a fantastic restaurant that promises a delightful dining experience without a hefty price tag.

The most authentic Peruvian food I've eaten in Montréal! The Ceviche is amazing along side the Lomo Saltado & the Jalea. Their cocktails are very well made, I highly recommend eating & drinking here :)
