Well-liked DUMBO taqueria with flavorful tacos, bowls, and burritos at fair prices, though service speed and consistency can vary; authenticity of some reviews is questionable.
El Gallo Taqueria delivers reliable casual Mexican dining with strong food quality anchored by excellent birria and fish tacos, plus warm, attentive service that regulars consistently praise. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from flavorful to bland across visits—and occasional service slowdowns during rush prevent a higher grade. The pleasant DUMBO location and fair value make it a solid neighborhood choice, though not a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Service can be slow when busy; a few orders forgotten at the counter
