    El Gallo Blanco

    No ambiance here at El Gallo Blanco, 2838 Portage Road, but the food is outstanding. The choices are many, including several meat and "filler" options for tacos, burritos, et al. All the foods are fresh and you probably won't finish the complimentary basket of chips before your food arrives- they're quick!
