   We arrived on time for our reservation only to be told that there was no food service that day due to staffing issues. Therefore I consider our reservation canceled by the establishment.

   The chips and salsa were very good, as well as the service. Our server was very kind and attentive making sure we had everything we needed. My biggest critique would be the tortillas used for the tacos. They were very disappointing and made it so you couldn’t enjoy the filling. For me a big judge of a Mexican restaurant is their tortillas. Additionally I think there should’ve been a choice of corn or flour.

   Waited 15 mins and no one acknowledged us. Waiter looked at my husband , didn’t say anything.. walked away. We had reservations.. wasn’t as if they were expecting us. Didn’t get to try any food , so I couldnt rate that, but it won’t give me that option. I was really hoping for a different experience. Prob won’t try again

   Made a reservation but still waited 30 minutes to be seated. Service was slow, we were there over 2 hours. Multiple servers around, but spent little time in the dining room attending to guests. We saw one couple sit down and leave.

   Loved the authentic Latin flavors here, from the perfect outside crunch/inside melt in your mouth taste of the empanada appetizer to the perfectly seasoned homemade chips and refritos. The tacos were stuffed full of goodness and had a yummy pan-fried texture on the outside. Don’t miss this little gem; the chef definitely knows what he’s doing!

   A big friend group came into town; we had multiple dietary requirements—this place met our needs. A fantastic spot with great drinks and an awesome menu.

    What a treat. The mushroom empanadas were really something special, though really our whole meal was incredible. We’d ordered extra so we’d have leftovers. Sadly, we realized we’d left it on the table when we got home. Wanted to cry. Food was so good

    We had not been to El Gallo since it opened assuming it was just another Mex restaurant serving the same as everyone else. It absolutely is not the same. While simplistic in presentation, the flavors lean pure, combinations are creative, and staff/kitchen are very willing to work with food sensitive diners. Will def return.

    Food was really good but it was over priced. Definitely will come again though.

    Thanksgiving prix fix meal. Delicious. Would have liked a more traditional 2nd course option.

    Went to El Gallo for their Thanksgiving service and I’m at a loss for words. My Turkey day plans fell through and I was able to get reservations at the last minute at El Gallo, not knowing what to expect having previously only come for brunch. The food alone was incredible. I had their garlic sautéed shrimp in Chile oil, followed by a tamarind glazed pork belly with a black bean stew. It was one of those meals that you didn’t want to end. The ambiance was perfect, service was seamless, and the evening couldn’t have been better. I would absolutely recommend El Gallo to any one coming through Asheville looking for a casual but memorable dining experience. The flavors, the colors - they nailed it all. Cannot wait to come back to El Gallo next time I’m in town.

    Everything we had to eat (tacos: quest barrio, al pastor, del mar; empanadas, carnitas, churros) and drink (Oaxaca Old fashioned, IPA) was excellent, tasty and creative. Service was fine. Five stars for the basics, but it has to be said the place is relatively small and quite noisy (some will like that; we prefer things a bit quieter), and the menu is quite limited. So four stars overall, but very positive.
