Restaurant El Gallo

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.

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!

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.

Most people say that food is just something to be eaten but I think otherwise. I think it's something to be cherished & embed. I took one bite of the chicken I knew I had to write this review the second it touched my taste buds it felt like being born again. I've never eaten anything as majestic as that chicken I'm normally vegan but that chicken made me rethink my entire life. Safe to say I would eat here again

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.

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.

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.

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)
