I picked this place to satisfy a variety of dietary preferences in my party, including gluten-free and vegetarian. Food was excellent, it didn't seem very customizable though, because some things were pre-made, but I will say, it tasted good and there were a lot of options anyway. Prices were decent, cheaper than other options for dining out, but the portions seemed a bit on the smaller side...not ridiculously small, just a bit below what I'd expect. Service was friendly, parking a small hassle. I'd definitely return, but not if I was starving.
I went to Gala BBQ last week with my buddy, and wow—what a surprise! I never expected the food to be this good.
We ordered a lot of food, and despite being stuffed, we just couldn’t stop eating. As a vegetarian, I had plenty of options, and my friend, who eats non-veg, was just as happy with his choices.
My absolute favorite was the veg salad—the zingy sauce combined with fresh lettuce was to die for. The gluten sticks were fantastic, the fried potatoes were perfectly crispy, and the garlic mushrooms were packed with flavor.
Everything we tried was amazing. If you’re looking for a place with great food, tons of variety, and bold flavors, Gala BBQ is a must-try. Highly recommend!
This place was fantastic. The customer service was outstanding. I'm GF and didn't have any issues. There were only two broths I could have ( tomato, mushroom) however, the topping options were endless. The servers tried really hard to accommodate me and ensured there was no gluten in my options. The servers came often and handed gifs (toys) to my children. Such a good experience and will definitely go again.

Fast. Very nice staff. Good quality food. Gluten free options. And Even makes it a point for no cross contamination for gluten/celiac by switching gloves.
Just had the best experience at this Pizza Nova location! Their pizza is incredible—I'm obsessed with the Chicken Mediterranean, it's so flavourful. My wife got the gluten-free Hawaiian, and it was just as tasty (who knew gluten-free could be that good?). Oh, and the chicken wings with Garlic Parmesan? Out of this world! I never knew their wings could be that amazing... you have to try it!There’s plenty of parking in the back lot. Plus, the owner Nakissa is such a sweetheart! She was so friendly and fun to chat with. This spot is a gem!
Open until 2am, they're definitely my go-to spot in the area!
I appreciate all the vegan and gluten-free options, they're very clear with the ingredients they use. The food is always delicious, so filling, and the staff are all generous with the servings. Can't wait for my next trip there! 🌮

MELISSA WAS THE BEST! I was confused but she helped me with recommendations and I tried a lot of different food items. Ask for her she’s so sweet and she accommodates my gluten-free diet. Thank you and also food was amazing
The food here is good. They had gluten free taco shells. No gluten free burrito shells. My two biggest griefs are the service and the drink temperature. They serve beer here, and the beer is mad warm. You guys need to dial your fridges to a colder temperature. The other thing was the service. The lady who served us was not really fit for the role. I watched a customer walk in and wait to be greeted, and ultimately left. Also when I walked in I was in the shop for a few minutes before I got bored of reading the menu and called the rep over. Not a great look. When you have a restaurant you should be greeting everyone who comes in, acknowledging people and sayings I'll be right with you if you're busy. None of this was covered.
Ultimately not a bad spot. Stars for food and the atmosphere is probably great in the summer. Winter they had a heater and it wasnt too cold which was good.
Gluten free crust was really tasty but the pizza was kinda dry overall and the bacon on my sister's pizza was very undercooked, although she still enjoyed it
Tried the peri peri fries fries and they were great! Fantastic heat and flavor, perfect level of salt. Definitely a winner.
So I have to start off this review and say that I rate the food a 5 out of 5 at Mexitaco. Where they fall down slightly (I can't do half points) is on service and atmosphere).
This is the spot you go to when you want to have mouth watering, authentic (outside of Mexico) birria tacos with the side stew hands down. The chef has perfected the beef stewing process and flavour profile that goes on to hit all the right foodie feels. Think side of the road freshly made birria tacos (my mouths officially watering now). Their chorizo tacos have the right amount of heat and make you want to go back for more, not to mention their grilled fish tacos that are fresh and simple so that you enjoy the true taste of the fish.
They also make horchata and himika which makes the food experience even more authentic and awesome. They have a solid selection of tequilas and I think they need to make a bigger deal about this for sure and make those drinks a little more stronger please. The location works well for folks with gluten sensitivities and make sure to speak to your server about any substitutions.
Service is friendly and always encouraging but can be a bit inattentive at times. The restaurant was definitely something else before and has a very pub/bar feel that I think can be worked on to make it feel a bit more mexican authentic without going overboard. Seating is a bit basic and looks a bit worn out but maybe it just adds to the who atmosphere but could be off putting to some. Parking can be a challenge at times given the smaller parking lot but still worth the visit.
Go experience the food and margaritas for yourself and let me know if I missed the mark on anything. Horchata for life!
