El gallo Mexican deli restaurant

Excellent tacos! I got the tacos al pastor and tacos tinga (which had chicken and pineapple) and both were full of great flavor, I was completely satisfied. Super delicious food. Quick service. I also got a steak chimichanga and was super impressed with the serving sizes, I couldn’t finish it all. I would highly recommend this place for tacos in New Haven.

My husband and i ordered at the counter which wasn’t to enjoyable due to the customer service. We ordered the mix Birria,Tinga, el pastor, and carnitas. The birria lacked flavor we didn’t get a consume and it needed it. Carnitas barely had carnitas the only one I enjoyed was the tinga taco. And what I like about the el pastor taco was the cooked pineapple that was in it. I’m sorry I don’t believe this is authentic Mexican restaurant when it comes to flavors. I would suggest they work on flavor profiling when it comes to Mexican food. I am not one to write reviews but that high star rating is false and felt there should be some honesty

Had a wonderful experience for lunch with my mom. Lia took care of us and made sure we had the best service! Food was amazing and prepared very fast. It was also set up very nicely for Halloween/fall with fun decorations set up. Would highly recommend especially if Lia is working!

This little hole in the wall punches above its weight. Good tacos with a wide selection (they let you mix and match unlike some other taquerieas) and the tortas and verde ribs are standouts. You'll be lucky if you get Celeste as your orderctaker/server - super attentive and friendly!

My coworkers and I love this place! The food is fantastic and comes out quick. Huge shout-out to Celeste, who’s always so welcoming and even remembers our favorite orders. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!
