Some of the best fish tacos I have ever had. Pure bliss in my mouth. Love the Chipotle sauce. Joe and the staff were kind and welcoming and made it feel very homey. Highly recommend!

For poor college students (they have a BYU discount menu) looking for a sit-down Mexican restaurant with good food and not extreme prices, this was great. I’m not the one to rate authenticity but it sure as heck tasted great. I had steak gallanitos (corn empanadas smothered in some amazing tomatillo sauce), a lengua street taco (yeah it’s cow tongue and that was weird but it was good), and my wife got the BYU discount menu enchilada.
Service was great, restaurant wasn’t crowded or loud, music was an appropriate volume, and we really enjoyed ourselves.
I saw a review from a couple weeks ago saying they didn’t take cards. Not sure what was going on then because they definitely took my Discover card yesterday.

I simply adore this place. It is so delicious! I will never stop raving about their food to everyone I know. The meat is well-seasoned, flavorful, and always piping hot. Their agua frescas are my favorite in the Valley, and I love their salsa bar. The staff is friendly, and Jose is one of our favorites!
I love them so much that they even catered our reception dinner, and it was 10/10 as well! If you’re in the mood for some amazing food, this is always the place to go!

Nice owner, greeter, and waitress. The food seemed very authentic. The food was good. The environment was festive, and authentic. I just have to subtract 1 star as they did not accept my credit card, or even my Visa debit card. They take cash only.

Last night my wife and I visited Gallo Giro Mexican Restaurant in Provo. When we first walked in, the restaurant smelled great and we were excited to try the food. Our waiter recommended the molcajete, so we decided to order it to share.
Unfortunately, the dish was not very good. The molcajete came out extremely full of sauce and the flavors just didn’t taste right. We were pretty hungry, but we ended up barely eating it because it wasn’t enjoyable.
Since we were still hungry, I ordered some street tacos for us instead.
When the waiter brought the bill, he charged us the full price for the molcajete even though he could clearly see we barely touched it. There was no offer to adjust the bill or even ask if something was wrong with the dish. To make it more uncomfortable, he also asked us to pay in cash.
Overall, the place smelled great when we arrived, but the food and customer service didn’t meet expectations. Hopefully they can improve the quality of the food and how they handle situations when customers are not satisfied.

El Gallo Giro is amazing! My friend and I first stumbled across this restaurant while we were walking by because it smelled so good! We’ve been addicted ever since and have been coming for two years. Each time, the food is just as delicious as the last. I love being able to get my own salsa, and the shrimp tacos are a must-order! They are my absolute favorite. The staff is also friendly and accommodating!

I requested a special order and the chef was very accommodating and the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had a good experience! The food was amazing, 10 out of 10 – if you haven’t been here, you NEED to try it!

El Gallo Giro was a nice little spot to go to for sure. It’s not so good to the point where I would frequent it all the time but it was nice to give it a try.
I like how they gave grilled cactus as a side (“nopales”) and how “Mexican” the inside felt. They had a soccer game playing and some chill Mexican music. Then also had a salsa bar where you can pick what condiments you wanted.
I like the attention to detail they gave to my food as well.
Maybe I’m too picky because I’m Mexican and grew up with high class Norteño/Tex-Mex food but this just isn’t a five star deal. It’s four stars. It could be nicer, could be more extravagant. But, it’s just a local place that’s nice to bring a friend or date to if you ask me.
Nice job.

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for years and it is easily a family favorite!!! My favorite is the supreme quesadilla and it never ever disappoints. So glad to have a place like this so close!!!

We had them cater our wedding dinner and everyone LOVED the food. Prices were very reasonable too and we had more than enough food for everyone! We also got horchata and many of us kept going back for more. Whether eating in their restaurant or catered food I’ve never not loved all the dishes made here. My Mexican dad likes it and feels the food is pretty authentic too. Seriously, El Gallo Giro is THE BEST.
