Classic Mexican & Nicaraguan plates served in compact, down-to-earthy quarters with booths.

Authentic Nicaraguan flavors, big hearty plates, and the kind of gallo pinto and plantains that make you want to come back the next day.
They gave us free pork to try, it was delicious. And also gave us different types of juices for free to try. They were all excellent, we couldn’t decide which one is better.
The fritanga platter is a feast, and the staff treats you like family. The utensils also come in a paper bag so they wouldn’t touch the table. Check out my pictures.

The food was authentic Nicaraguan. The flavor was spot on. I would recommend the food but the service was lacking. I believe this is because they do not have enough personnel for the amount of clients. We dined on a Sunday and it took about 20 mins for our order to be taken add about another 25 minutes for the food to arrive. Hopefully, this was an anomaly because the food tasted really good. We had two Fritanga plates, one with carne asada (a little tough) and the other with pork. For dessert we had buñuelos (we did not care for them, hard and did not taste like the ones I had in Nicaragua)

I came back to this place for the second time because it brought me so many memories from Nicaragua. I ordered the fritanga plate and let me tell you, it was delicious!! The cacao and melon drink were on point, not too sweet at all. The taste reminded me of my grandma ❤️

Authentic Nicaraguan flavors!!
The dishes are well-seasoned and delicious, truly capturing the essence of Nicaraguan cuisine. However, the portions of meat, especially the steak (#1), were disappointingly small. Despite this, it’s a good spot for a tasty meal if you don’t mind the smaller portions.

I recently tried El Gallo Pinto Nicaragüense, and it was a five-star experience! The authentic flavors and rich taste of Nicaraguan cuisine truly stood out. Each dish was a culinary delight, and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend El Gallo Pinto for a delicious and genuine taste of Nicaraguan food!

I ordered ropa vieja (shredded beef with onions and tomatoes) that came with gallo pinto ( rice mixed with beans) and sweet plantains. It was very tasty and full of flavor. The shredded beef was a bit on the sweeter side.
My sister ordered carne asada (broiled steak), that came with queso frito (fried cheese), maduros (sweet plantains), tajadas (plantain chips) and cabbage salad. Her food was very tasty as well. My favorite things to eat were the queso frito and maduros. We came when it was near closing time and they treated us well. Can’t wait to come back.

The food is better than last year when I visited. We had a great time. The music and the service were great. They went up one notch. There’s still room for
Improvement.

This place serves consistent and delicious food that feels like a warm embrace from home. They specialize in Nicaraguan cuisine, with my favorites being their friend pork chunks, gallo pinto, and cebollita curtida.
Gallo Pinto is a classic dish, always cooked and seasoned to perfection. Accompanied with their cebollita curtida, which is tangy and very slightly spicy pickled onion relish, the combination is something I could eat every single day.
A little treasure in Azusa if you craved home cooked flavors and consistent quality.
