El Gallo Tropical Grill — Restaurant in Hamilton Township

I destroyed this on the car ride home but l assure you it tastes amazing! There are tables inside to dine in but it's not fancy and i tend to prefer take out for this spot. I had three al pastor sopas. For .75 more you can mix your meat types which is nice. The masa dough is made in house. I love mexican but am allergic to jalapeños. This place only had jalapeños in the pico and they were way to remove. Their al pastor pork and pineapple is to die for. Flavorful but not spicy. The green salsa is mild but has jalapeños in it. If you like spicy hot food ask for the hot salsa. So good. Presentation is beautiful if you don't mess it up in the car like I did. I tried what they call the jello textured flan. It was so good and had a caramel liquid that I wanted to last forever. It was a nice size portion and under $3. There is also a cake like slice of flan but I didn't try that one. They do sell Mexican soda and ju aritos but I preferred a big gulp from...

My fiancé has been coming to this restaurant for years but introduced me once we started dating 6 years ago. This is hands down the best authentic Mexican food in NJ, and Philadelphia. We eat out a lot and love trying new places but so far, NO place has come close to the food here. The service is decent, they are friendly and remember you after only a visit or two. That’s always nice. I guess if I was to complain about anything at all, it would be the lack of heat within the restaurant in the winter. We usually order to go so it’s not a huge deal to us. But seriously… if your looking to genuinely enjoy some good food. This is the spot!!! We will be eating here until the end of days. Try the chimichanga and tamales. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to the cooks, the food is AMAZING. I would attach a picture of my food but I ate...

🪳 I came with my boyfriend, and this food is absolutely amazing. I mean everything was on point and so so flavorful. The meat was perfectly seasoned, the green sauce was delicious, the rice and beans were good and so were my plantains. The plantains were crispy on the outside but warm and very soft on the inside.So why the two star review? Well after my man asked for boxes when we were done eating, I decided to go the bathroom before heading home. When I got in the bathroom I saw not one but three roaches 😞 I’m heartbroken because I couldn’t finish the food and I can’t bring myself to eat there ever again. I heard roaches are more common than we think in restaurant kitchens. But seeing is...
