Family friendly with delicious Peruvian food! It was our first time & it is now officially approved by our picky 11yo. Their fries were perfection & the chicken (including the skin!) was amazing. We are making this place our new family stop when the need for some Peruvian flavor arises.

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.

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!

I had Jalea, it's a pretty small portion compared to other Peruvian restaurants on the street.

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.

The food was better than I expected. Quite tasty with the original peruvian flavours. Servers were friendly & so able to respond our inquiries.

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.
