El Gallo — Restaurant in Palos Township

I basically live here, I live in the neighborhood behind this restaurant so I’m always here. Great food, great atmosphere and the staff are always friendly! However boba heaven has attracted a bunch of undesirable people, who treat the parking lot like a car meet while showing off their mommy and daddy’s cars.

⭐⭐☆☆☆ Friendly Staff, But Disappointing Food

I ordered by phone and walked in to pick it up, only to find out it’s cash only. I don’t usually carry cash, so I had to use their ATM and got hit with a $3 fee — not a great first impression.

The staff was friendly, and that’s honestly the only thing keeping this from being a 1-star review.

I ordered a steak torta, but it was mostly bread with very little meat or toppings. What meat there was seemed like greasy leftover bits, and the sandwich ended up falling apart from how soaked the bread got. The salsa verde was also a miss — it had a sour, fermented taste that made me question its freshness.

There are plenty of better options nearby, so I won’t...
