3 stars for the fast friendly service 2 stars for the food. Heard great things about this restaurant. It's normally very busy and you have to wait to be seated. 02/14/22. Went in for lunch, the chips and dips were super yummy and the Ice tea was strong. The main course came out and that's where the fun ended. We ordered 3 different meals and all 3 were BLAND. I mean zero flavor. I didn't even eat half of mine because it was that bland and horrible. Not sure what kind of Mexican food they are trying to service, TexMex, Mexico City, or coastal South Mexico? Whatever it was, it missed the mark.. Heck it missed the entire target! I really wanted to like this establishment and add it to the RGV food format. Unfortunately, it will be checked off as No bueno......

I haven't had a Chile Relleno in years. Probably because I never had a good one. I never got the hype because I had never had one spectacular before. My friend recommended the Beef Chile Relleno and I said "Ditto". She has never steered me wrong when it comes to Mexican food. When the plate arrived I knew that I would be taking half of it home due to the sheer size. But, I was wrong. I left a few grains of rice on the plate. It was sooo delicious that I drove by to show another friend where it was because she said that she hadn't had a good chile relleno in years either. El Gallito, don't change a thing! It was marvelous-simply marvelous!!! See...

My wife met me here for lunch and she had already ordered my food before I got there. Sat down waited for about 5 mins to see if the waitress would come ask if I needed anything (which I did). After a little over 5 minutes, no one came, so I got up and went to get my own silverware and extra napkins from their services area. Still after that, no one came to ask if we were ok (which i wasn't). I still hadn't gotten a drink and went the whole 40 mins. I was there with nothing to drink and no waitress. We were ready to go, and finally, a waitress showed up with the bill. It was lunchtime, and it wasn't that busy in the...

I'd heard about the Chicken Fried Chicken platter so I had to stop by and try it. Wasn't disappointed. The whole chicken breast barely fit on the plate. Crunchy on the outside but soft, juicy and perfectly cooked on the inside. We also had a Caldo de Pollo. The bowl was humongous! The soup was very tasty and love that they leave the rice and Chicken outside the bowl which leaves room for lots of veggies and broth. We ended our lunch with a slice of pumpkin cake from their dessert choices. This cake is a family favorite. Moist pumpkin carrot cake flavor with a rich cream cheese frosting.

05-24-2024 visit, food was great. Hadn't been here in a bit. Gotta say, they're pretty darn consistent. Great Monterrey Chicken & Mariachi plate. Definitely be back.......... Great food, great service.4/14/23 visit. Stopped in for a late dinner. Sat immediately, drink order taken quickly and entree order taken shortly after that. Over a good visit but it was really cold in there. Started off with chips and salsa, fair warning they aren't complimentary. We're ok with that. I ordered a classic, Monterey Chicken and the wife had taquitos of bistek. Food was great.
