Directions to El Gallo:

From I –35:
Exit at Oltorf, turn west, and continue until S. Congress Avenue. At S. Congress, turn left. El Gallo is about 500 feet past the next traffic light (Cumberland), on the right. It’s also directly across from the entrance to St. Edward’s University.

From Ben White Blvd. (US290/SH71):
Exit at S. Congress Avenue and turn north (left from 360, right from I-35). El Gallo is about 600 feet past the next traffic light (Woodward), on the left. It’s also directly across from the entrance to St. Edward’s University.

The parking lot extends beside the building from the S. Congress, and there is lots of it. Once you've entered the restaurant, turn left at the cashier’s counter into the party room. The bar will be available to those who care to purchase a drink or beer. In fact, there is a service window, so we don’t even have to leave the party room.

The menu will be a choice of seven meals; selection will be done at time of ordering. The meal includes tea or coffee, and dessert. Our only restriction is that we must close our program by 9 PM. For the early risers and the long drivers, this is good news!
