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.

I'm a huge fan of latin food in general, Peruvian food being a highlight. I have to say this was a pretty disappointing experience for a few reasons. The menu seemed to be more of a Peruvian take on American cuisine than actual Peruvian dishes. There were some but there were items like chinese-style chicken fried rice, burgers & other foods that aren't traditionally latino. I tried the fried rice anyway & honestly it tasted just like chinese food minus the oil that they used & the salsa I added on top. What really hurt my experience at this place though was the inattentive service. Nobody seated us, we waited for minutes until we just sat at a table. Took a while to get our orders taken. The actual food didn't take too long to come out, but once it did we weren't given any sauces - had to take them from another table. After finishing, the longest wait occurred for the bill. Wasted a lot of time waiting for service here & it was not packed.

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.

Le meilleur poulet au Québec. 5 à 6 visites juste pour le poulet & les sauces. Je fais la route de Drummondville avec ma copine juste pour venir savourer votre poulet.

The pizza El Gallo is amazingly good! With the green spicy sauce on it? The dream!

A bit slow service at times but food is consistently good. I ordered grilled chicken breast & leg on different occasions. It was good although I personally prefer the thigh because it was a lot more tender while the chicken breast was a little overcooked. My friend ordered El Gallo pizza. The dough was well cooked & it was well seasoned overall. Their green & yellow sauce are also very good 👍(not sure what they're called)
