El Gallo Mexican Restaurant

Very disappointing. Carpet old & gross. Queso with ground beef was watery like soup. Servers unimpressive and lazy. Horrible, actually. Never again. They haven't even claimed this Yelp page. Not sure why the owners haven't claimed their Yelp page, so they can respond to customers comments.

I. LOVE. EL GALLO. I have been coming to this exact location since I was 15 y/o and I'm in my early 30's now. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is soooo good. I usually get the Taco Al Carbon with queso on top and it's to die for, the chicken soup, to die for, the soft chicken tacos, to die for, the margaritas, to die for, the queso, sooooooooooooooo good! Hahah! I sincerely love this place! Everyone is so kind, friendly, and ready to feed you! Lol! Looks can be deceiving for sure but if you're in the C-Y-P, you HAVE to check it out! 12/10

The food is always great here and the service is too !!! We have been to both locations and it has been consistent. Love their queso and grilled chicken. They don't have sweet tea though.... Maybe they will look into that. You will have a nice dinner and treated well. So go and enjoy some great Mexican food. The ambiance is a family friendly establishment.

The portions are huge and I could only eat about half of my burrito but it was So delicious. The service is a little slow but they were pretty busy when we went so I don't think it's that big of a deal. Very cute spot with good margs!

I have been coming back to Cypress for over 40 years to eat here. I love their cheese. I come back for it, crave it. I don't know what it is, but their cheese is just different. I have never found better cheese and beef enchiladas, beans and rice. Never. They are the best, always consistent, good texture and flavor. The same guys have a worked there for years. The same pics on the walls--I like that. The sameness is what makes El Gallo special. I am almost 55 now. I was in 8th grade when we moved to Cypress and started coming to El Gallo regularly. I have since travelledAll over Texas eating Mexican food. There are fancier places, sure. But when you ask me where I really want to eat more than anywhere else, El Gallo is my first choice.

Visited my go-to Mexican spot tonight. The Tex-Mex Especial is one of my favorite menu items. The food and service did not disappoint.

Very good local Mexican restaurant and and they give you big portions. Also the best margarita I've had in a long time.

Service is top notch. I like the enchiladas the best. Quesadillas were ok but not as good as the enchiladas. Prices are very affordable

I have been going to El Gallo all of my life. I have loved it always. Management made a recipe change years ago to save money. After a few people said it wasn't as good, they promptly changed back to the original. I have always appreciated that. The place is big enough to fit a lot of people but still feels cozy.

Wonderful food. Been coming here since the mid 1950s. Service fell off for a while in the early 1960s but since about 1965, no one can compete with El Gallo.
