We have been going here for decades. Service & food always great.
Most restaurants don't survive 50+ years in the same location. This iconic Mexican eatery has though. It's simple façade and no frills menu has stood the test of time here in Spring Branch. My family have been dining here since 1971(the year it was established). If you're looking for modern, elevate
El Gallo has been around since 1971. First thing I noticed as I sat enjoying my chips and salsa was the amount of regulars in the restaurant. The waiters knew the customers by first name. Right away I knew why it was successful for a long time. The chips are very good. Thin and crispy and go perfect
A Spring Branch thing. Great for large or small gathering. Also excellent to go. Always DELICIOUS, great service with a home away from home atmosphere.
Went on Saturday evening, wasn't crowded at all. The food came out quickly, Rice and beans were hot, and fresh, with lots of flavor. The grilled chicken was okay. Lacked some flavor. Would've liked some bell peppers along with more onions on my grilled chicken asada.
I like this place. It is a hidden gem in the area. I always drove by till finally tried it and I wasn't disappointed.
The beef fajitas was really good. I highly recommend this one.
After 20+ years in Houston, El Gallo is still my favorite for good texmex. Beats the big names and big chains, hands down.
Great food great prices you will not be disappointed my favorites enchilada
Local Tex Mex served by some of the most friendliest, kindest folks. Waitstaff is always doing a great job here. The food is tasty, you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The queso here is a must order.
Beautiful restaurant. Great food and service.
Fast, friendly service. Classic atmosphere. Food came out quickly and was nice and hot. My cheese enchiladas were perfect, really good beans and rice too. Tried a bite of my friends fajita enchilada, it was so tender and delicious I am getting fajitas next time! Good prices, too. Best Tex-Mex I have
The food here is delicious and the staff is always nice, I have never had a bad visit.
This place has been there for ever it is family-owned it it is a really solid Mexican food restaurant - if you’re looking for something not fancy but good food this is the place
Loved hearing the cooks in the back getting along so well, made me smile.
Going 15-plus years, I never had bad food or service. It might not look fancy, but the food and service are excellent
Skip the well known Houston institutions and make this your primary stop. The enchiladas are the best I have ever had. The cheese and and exceptional sauce are like nothing I have ever had. The chips and salsa are excellent, although the salsa is different from others, it is an unexpected delight. A
