El Gallo Giro

Some of the best fish tacos I have ever had. Pure bliss in my mouth. Love the Chipotle sauce. Joe and the staff were kind and welcoming and made it feel very homey. Highly recommend!

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.

I simply adore this place. It is so delicious! I will never stop raving about their food to everyone I know. The meat is well-seasoned, flavorful, and always piping hot. Their agua frescas are my favorite in the Valley, and I love their salsa bar. The staff is friendly, and Jose is one of our favorites! I love them so much that they even catered our reception dinner, and it was 10/10 as well! If you’re in the mood for some amazing food, this is always the place to go!

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.

Last night my wife and I visited Gallo Giro Mexican Restaurant in Provo. When we first walked in, the restaurant smelled great and we were excited to try the food. Our waiter recommended the molcajete, so we decided to order it to share. Unfortunately, the dish was not very good. The molcajete came out extremely full of sauce and the flavors just didn’t taste right. We were pretty hungry, but we ended up barely eating it because it wasn’t enjoyable. Since we were still hungry, I ordered some street tacos for us instead. When the waiter brought the bill, he charged us the full price for the molcajete even though he could clearly see we barely touched it. There was no offer to adjust the bill or even ask if something was wrong with the dish. To make it more uncomfortable, he also asked us
