The new guy they hired this year does not change gloves, so everything he put into the bowl with his hands smelled of cheese (really don’t like cheese). Also the portions this year it seems decreased. Used to be a good place, but definitely not one right now.

The owner is nice and very funny and friendly, but i need to be honest with my review. The food is of very poor quality (meat is bland and too salty) and most of the vegetables they use come from a can (e.g. mushrooms, jalapenos, and likely the beans). The portions are highly controlled and i have felt ripped off both times i came here; to compound this, the food was cold and the taste was likely the worst mexican food I’ve had. Also, the hygiene of the cook needs to be improved, as he was wiping his sniffly nose while cooking. I am submitting this review purely for this business to learn what needs improvement so that they can improve food quality and pricing strategy: improve cook training; get better, fresh vegetables; change your recipes; and make your prices and portions more reasonable.

Apparently, they made a rule that they can’t add extra of something (for me, it was cheese). The guy making my burrito also wiped his nose with his gloves and didn’t change them, while making my food. Thought they were decent before this, almost as good as Chipotle or Qdoba, but I’m unimpressed at this point and don’t really plan on coming back.

I’ve been to Gallo easily over a hundred times in the last five years, and I keep going back. The two things Gallo has above its competitors are its salsas and the quesadilla. The salsas are way better than those at Chipotle, and I particularly highly recommend the salsa verde for some real heat. If you’re not getting the quesadilla at Gallo, you’re doing it all wrong; all the good ingredients in the hot crispy tortilla is something you’re not going to get elsewhere in walking distance from CMU. The quantity of food for the cost is quite satisfactory, and the staff is always friendly also.

I’d just received difficult news and came here for dinner, hoping for a pick-me-up. It was a rough first experience. I walked up to the storefront and the girl behind the counter turned around and stuck her tongue out at me with a grimace. No response when I asked her or her co-worker what was wrong, just chuckles.
Disappointed.

It is a good, clean place in CMU main campus and we have vegetarian option too so I’m happy with that. Thanks.

Mediocre Tex Mex but it’s an amazing value with a CMU meal block. Will definitely fill you up and empty your colon.

Quesadilla with a lot of veggie options, reasonable price. Shout-out to switching to cardboard boxes from plastic boxes.

I had food poisoning after eating here. Best to just avoid it and look for better options on campus.
