This review is for the restaurant. Who would've thought this market I pass by on a daily basis would have good food. They sell Mexican food everyday and Nicaraguan food on the weekends. However the cocina closes at 4:30. After reading some reviews, I decided to give it a try. The ordering process was a little confusing at first; ordering at the kitchen, paying at the cashier and then going to get your drinks at one counter and handing the receipt back to the kitchen. I figured out my way though. I was excited to see that they had hand made tortillas. I ordered a Hawaiian taco and it was awesome! Very good with the cheese, meat, pineapple and sauce. Also tried a nacatamal which was good too but overwhelming for the size if you're not a good eater. Enjoy!
They offer an awesome range of fresh food. I loved eating here. The employees are always welcoming, pricing is reasonable and the place is always clean.
The nacatamales are delicious, big and with a lot if meat unlike other nacatamales you find at other Nicaraguan restaurants / markets.
Pay attention everyone. El Gallito is a Mexican and Nicaraguan establishment located in El Monte. I was coming back from Riverside to Alhambra, and I remember I visited this place a while ago. I have the taste for Nicaraguan food. I went there and wait patiently in line for service. One guy did not great me and said, what can I get you? just nod me in signal that he was ready to help me. I asked for several Nicaraguan plates and he told me we dont have them ready. I just want Gallo Pinto, Tajadas y Queso. Since I love fried Queso, I asked him to give me a second piece. He nicely put me order in a piece of paper, asked me to review to see if he got it right. I nod him back in response of acceptance. He never said to me take the paper go to the register pay and come back with receipt. Not until he packed he told me go and pay.(like if I was supposed to know the payment procedures. To make this short as much as I can. I pay to the lady with me card and got receipt took the food that was left in top of a hot place and left the store. I got home (Alhambra) and start eating and I noticed that it was not a second Queso (paid 3.99). I called the store and told the person whom answer me and said (Sorry, came back now or next time with the receipt and I will either give you the Queso or money back. I told him, I just pay with a card, just check the receipt you have in your register number and the amount pay and re-embosser me the amount. It was IMPOSSIBLE to do so. He wants me to go back. I told him, I only go there once a year when I feel like eating Nicaraguan Food.
