Lively Upper West Side taco shop with flavorful tacos and fast-casual vibes, solid for quick meals but inconsistent service and portions; great kid options and value if you order smart.
The verdict

El Gallo Taqueria delivers solid food quality with genuine strengths in street-style tacos and breakfast burritos, but inconsistent execution and variable service speed prevent a higher grade.
