El Gallito Mexican - San Benito

Great choice for breakfast, but not oat flakes or eggs with nopales. Oatmeal was Bland, Nopales were a mixture of hard and delicate without taste. Adding salsa didn't help much. The service was excellent, the waitress was polite and helpful. The only problem with atmosphere is noise vibrated around the room.

First time visit to El Gallito. Cousin bragged up the fajitas and we were not disappointed. Exceptionally delicious. Flavorful, cooked to perfection. Can't say enough about them. Give them a try, you will be glad you did.

Best fajitas I've had at a Mexican restaurant. The margaritas were also well worth the $5. Edit: We came back and had another excellent experience. We ordered the fried fish plate, 2 nacho supremes, and El Gallito's Tacos. The fish plate was a lot bigger than expected and definitely worth the money.

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... Plotted. Scouts Out.

This was my first visit, and I will definitely return. The food was fantastic! It was the best pollo en mole I've ever had. The shredded chicken in the mole sauce was mildly spicy and packed with flavor. My girlfriend loved it too, and she's eager to come back!
