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 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.

Best Nicaraguan food! Very authentic. We have been going here for years. After trying almost every Nicaraguan restaurant in the SGV, this one is our #1 spot. For us, it’s as good as a closed Nicaraguan spot, which served food out of a home garage. In terms of authenticity and freshness, that is pretty hard to beat. That’s how delicious this place is.

Love this place! Their combo platter is consistently great. If like traditional Nicaraguan food you’ve got to stop by and enjoy El Gallo Pinto!

We always look for a good Nica spot and we found it here at Gallo Pinto. Everything here was delicious. We’ve been here 2x and it’s always so good. I even ordered a Nicaraguan Jersey for my 4 yo here and I cant wait to get it. The ladies are very friendly and sweet. They were also nice about me bringing outside food for my boys.

Food is always good. Feels like I’m back in Nicaragua everytime I go… the customer service always varies, not always the best but regardless, great place!
