El Gallo Pinto in Azusa

love everything they make. their food is not made until your order no heat up food but real food

Had to stop here and eat with my mom and sister before I left CA. My padrino couldn't join us this time but we still enjoyed our meals. So simple yet delicious. Love me some chicharones with yucca and curtido. I don't know about others, but our wait wasn't long at all. My nephew is a picky eater but he was loving the Gallo pinto and the plantains. Gotta love good food and spending time with mom is always a plus.

Authentic food from Nicaragua. Friendly service. I would go back again for sure.

Little expensive, if you want to get the baho you would share with someone. Tried the Bunuelos but didn't like them.

Really good

True authentic Nicaraguan cuisine. Love everything here. Queso frito is to die for.

Good traditional Nicaraguan food, econimic price

It is amazing food

The food is delicious cant complain about that. I just don't understand why the owners wife has no smile and is always looking like she does'nt want be around people. She has zero customer service. I mean we are paying for our food we are not getting it for free. Anyways, Food is really good and great portion size. I have been going since Don Chepe was there, I miss him especially his smile. He always greeted us like family. Even will walk us out to our car and had time to talk to us about Nicaragua. If you don't mind the service and the long wait..go.. at least the food is good.

The main mitch has a little attitude sometimes. But the is best mofofs.

Good food! We got the pollo asado served with gallo pinto, salad, and tajadas. Carne brochetas served with gallo pinto, salad, and platano maduro. Yucca with fried cheese. To drink: cacao, tamarindo, & melon con naranja. It was worth coming here!Also be prepared to wait some time for the food.

Good Nicaraguan food. Price $. Small location but comfortable

Took to look to service the lady looks she didn't wanna be there bad attitude never going back there food to greasy

Food was good but it took a really long time to get our food with about a half full restaurant. Probably waited 1 hour from ordering of food until receiving food. And we did not receive our apps. We liked the food but the amount of time we had to wait for food was just too much.

The food is great here!!

Taste delicious, price ok

I went with my sister in laws and I like the food there I might go back🍽

Delicious authentic Nicaraguan food, clean restaurant, and excellent service!

Food might be great but they only have ONE person taking orders, drinks, food, and bills. And the cook inside. Ridiculous

Very pricey and a very long wait for the food. The food was decent but overall not a great value. A combination plate averages $13 - $16.

Good foodbmy kids LOVE it

Food is delicious! I totally recommend this place if you're looking for Nicaraguan food.. service is a little slow but everything else is fantastic!

Although the food is good they take forever to get your meal. And not only that their customer service is very poor. I wouldn't recommend this place. Make sure to have enough time on your hands to eat at this location. Because you'll be here a while.

The food is good, but customer service is BAD!!The older fat lady has a nasty attitude...seems like it hurts her to smile. Parking is terrible.

El Gallo Pinto is like my home away from home! Everytime I visit family here, we MAKE SURE that we ALL go to El Gallo Pinto, (and I have ALOT of family!) The only reason I gave it a four star is because it is really slow! But other than that, it's great service and home cooked meals 👌

This place has good Nicaraguan food and the serveice is great I got the carne asada with marakuja and it was great

Hands down best Nicaraguan Restaurant this side of the mississippi! They have treated my wife and I like Family for over 10 years. Literally I drive over 20 miles to visit Carolina and her family and enjoy their wonderful food every chance I get. Fritangas are the best!! Gracias, Caro!!

Food was ok but they took long in serving us. The waitress was very attentive. Maybe they should serve chips while you wait for your food.

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! 😍

I first visited this place years ago!!! I went today to see if it stood the test of time. I thought it was great!! A lot of people are complaining about the service being slow on the other reviews, but it was relatively quick for the type of food they're putting out. The price was fair, $30 for myself my fiance and my young daughter just had rice and beans. The service was good, they didn't even have an issue with my daughter being fidgety and not want to stay seated. I reccomend this place highly if you want great Nicaraguan food. The naysayers find things to complain about, just go in there with an open mind, and I think you'll like it too

Not happy with the food.

Great Nicaraguan food, portion sizes are big and delicious. Service can be slow, but it is worth the wait.

Food is great, but got charged for paying with a card. Didn't like that.

The bes Nicaraguant food I've had in a very long time

Love the food

Great service.... i liked the way they explain to me about their food since im Mexican and the food is from Nicaragua

Food is good.Slender petite waitress treats the customer like garbage. As if you're begging to get fed for free. Never ever going back. Customers do not deserve to get treated so poorly.

There's NO authenticity to their food. I order a bistec encebollado and it was cooked in some kind of bbq sauce. When I asked the waitress she said, "that's how we make it". NO it's not! Don't insult my intelligence.

Great food.

Amazing customer service. The baho & cacao drink was delicious. Definitely worth making the trip from AZ.

It was a good experience the food it was great

Called in order at 5:29pm ... they said 25 minutes... got there in 30 ... cuz i know my paisanos are super slow... got there .. paid right away ... and waited .. and waited.. and waited... 6:19.. finally she says .. i'm packing it up right now ...WHAT!! Service has always been sketchy ...but food "was" good and the only Nica food within 30 minutes of my house. But.. this is ridiculous... and the gallo pinto was mushy ... and the churrasco burned. Wow.. my peeps ... a little more love and respect for our Nica food ..goes a long way!! Are these new owners? Pero, por favor . Necesitamos un nuevo restaurante Nica .. en San Gabriel .. quien se anima.?

My husband and I drove in from Las Vegas. The food was delicious! We were not disappointed.

Food was good as well as the service. The problem for me is that they charge a service fee for using your credit card. That to me is not acceptable.

!Good Food! I love it 💖

Clean,and quaint environment. Great tasting food!

Being native to the region the food was amazing the fritanga was good. Felt like moms cooking.

Friendly people, good food.

Food used to be great, not anymore, service is a fiasco

Very nice place to eat Nicaraguan Food, good variety.
