PAPA GALLO 3405 Candlers Mountain Road, Lynchburg, VA 24502

"Carnitas Wilbur pictured. The salsas were good from the chip basic. The Wilbur was so good. The Carnitas had such a wonderful flavor and the Tomatillo Salsa was amazing!! It brings the heat. Felt like the tortillas were fresh made too!"

"One word: ¡BIRRIA! The tacos were legendary, like Randy Moss in '03. Next level. I would find it hard to order anything else. Portions were large, especially the fajitas. There was enough for a full dinner the next day. If you're ordering chips the avocado salsa was the most impressive, with the molcajete a close second. Service was great, our guy checked on us several times. I know some people may be put off by the higher price point but in our experience the quality/quantity of food was worth it. The decor is also impressive, creating a nice change of atmosphere from the mall."

"I was here recently to celebrate my birthday. It exceeded expectations. Briana provided stellar service and the food was astounding. I highly recommend the fresh-made guacamole (not pictured as it was eaten too fast..oops)."

"We were seated right away and our server asked what we would like to drink. Then someone else came to the table and asked what we would like to eat. However, when our appetizer came, we needed plates and that took a very long time to get. As you can see in the pictures, the street corn can be hard to eat if you're sharing with others. There was nothing special about my food. The bacon tasted like Canadian bacon, which was not noted on the menu. It was served cold and so was my friends dish. You can see the cheese getting hard on her plate. This is supposed to be more upscale but did not meet that expectation. Our table and seats were dirty when we sat down. The restaurant does look very appealing and certainly catches the eye when you walk by but I don't think I'd go there again."

"The mall has a winning restaurant and I didn't even feel like I was in the mall once I stepped inside! From the mellow lighting to the small town facade that was the wall, Papa Gallo is an experience. The enchiladas were delicious and felt worth about $16. The waiters were nice though there were quite a few of them checking on us. The only hiccup was when my friend asked for some queso to go and they gave him a small condiment cup then charged him $8 for it on his receipt when he had no clue it cost that much for a little bit of extra queso. He immediately returned it and they refunded him without a fuss so no harm no foul. My friends all ordered different plates that I wish I had tried because they looked delectable; so now I have I to eat there again!"
