Description
El Gallo Negro 2 brings Mexican flavor to College Point, serving up tacos, birria, and molcajete de carnes in a relaxed setting. The Molcajete de Carnes arrives sizzling with grilled steak, chicken, chorizo, and melted cheese, while the birria tacos are juicy and flavorful, especially dipped in rich consomé. The chicken and steak tacos are praised for being delicious and not dry, though the shrimp taco is fried, which may surprise some. The atmosphere is laid-back with Latin music that transports diners, and the host is friendly. Reviews mention generous portions and late hours until 3:00 AM. However, some note that takeout orders seem to get priority over dine-in, and there have been complaints about changing prices and extra charges for sauce.
