"For poor college students (they have a BYU discount menu) looking for a sit-down Mexican restaurant with good food and not extreme prices, this was great. I’m not the one to rate authenticity but it sure as heck tasted great. I had steak gallanitos (corn empanadas smothered in some amazing tomatillo sauce), a lengua street taco (yeah it’s cow tongue and that was weird but it was good), and my wife got the BYU discount menu enchilada. Service was great, restaurant wasn’t crowded or loud, music was an appropriate volume, and we really enjoyed ourselves. I saw a review from a couple weeks ago saying they didn’t take cards. Not sure what was going on then because they definitely took my Discover card yesterday."

"Nice owner, greeter, and waitress. The food seemed very authentic. The food was good. The environment was festive, and authentic. I just have to subtract 1 star as they did not accept my credit card, or even my Visa debit card. They take cash only."

"El Gallo Giro was a nice little spot to go to for sure. It's not so good to the point where I would frequent it all the time but it was nice to give it a try. I like how they gave grilled cactus as a side ("nopales") and how "Mexican" the inside felt. They had a soccer game playing and some chill Mexican music. Then also had a salsa bar where you can pick what condiments you wanted. I like the attention to detail they gave to my food as well. Maybe I'm too picky because I'm Mexican and grew up with high class Norteño/Tex-Mex food but this just isn't a five star deal. It's four stars. It could be nicer, could be more extravagant. But, it's just a local place that's nice to bring a friend or date to if you ask me. Nice job."

"I requested a special order and the chef was very accommodating and the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had a good experience! The food was amazing, 10 out of 10 - if you haven’t been here, you NEED to try it!"

"We had them cater our wedding dinner and everyone LOVED the food. Prices were very reasonable too and we had more than enough food for everyone! We also got horchata and many of us kept going back for more. Whether eating in their restaurant or catered food I've never not loved all the dishes made here. My Mexican dad likes it and feels the food is pretty authentic too. Seriously, El Gallo Giro is THE BEST."
