Everything We have had at El Gallo has been very good to excellent. The service is prompt, friendly and accurate. The ambiance is adequate. It is a little jammed but that is to accommodate the number of people that want to eat there.

El Gallo is easily the best restaurant in Rancho Murieta. The food is way better than the hotel's restaurant or the BBQ place. They have the best carnitas in all of Sacramento. Nice and crispy, like carnitas are supposed to be. Some places just give you stewed pork and call it carnitas. If you want REAL carnitas, come get the Carnitas plate at El Gallo. Or the carnitas chimichanga. Mmmm good stuff. They also have Camarones Vallarta which are big juicy shrimp wrapped in bacon and deep fried and then covered in melty cheese. OMG so good. Speaking of melty cheese, don't skip out on the Queso Fundido which is melted Monterey Jack with crumbled up chorizo mixed in. It's the best cheese dip I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. No processed cheese here. They can get really busy some Friday and Saturday nights, especially if there is an event happening at the Rancho Murieta Equestrian Center. Give this place a try. You won't regret it!

This is a solid little place nestled in a quiet (mostly) business park in Rancho Murieta. They have a full service bar, a great patio near the ponds and waterfalls that would be great for a summer evening and the food is pretty decent. My wife had the taco salad and I got the two taco plate. We were both satisfied with our food and the highlight was probably the delicious dips that came with the chips. The only drawbacks I would see with this restaurant are that the service was a little slow (it wasn't busy, as we were one of three tables) and it's just a touch expensive. It's possible that a Monday lunch hour doesn't staff more than one waiter, so don't quote me on their service during peak hours. The only other detractor is that their menu needs some love. The food feels pretty limited, no descriptions about what comes in burritos, on the tacos, etc. and they didn't have a la carte options for things like the tacos. I'd definitely consider it a bit of a hidden gem that could do one or two things and become a super popular restaurant. Definitely give them a try!
