Such great food ! I always get the jambalaya chicken with vegetables and either red or yellow rice . Ask for the little thing of hot sauce and pour that on and enjoy !!! If your not into hot they have another couple types of chicken but the jamba is the best because it sits in this red sauce they make and marinates in it and omg! Super friendly staff , and very decent prices . It’s like 6.99 for 1 meat 2 sides. You pay more at McDonald’s for a burger and fries . Love your food please never go away !

I was pleased to see that they could go through the pandemics time and come out as a real Phoenix. The store was totally renovated. The owners did not stay home and watch TV like everyone else. They got dressed and, against all odds, reformulated the whole place themselves! Now they have presented us a clear and attractive place and, better than that, a great and varied menu not only for those who miss the Brazilian dishes, but for those who are thriving to try new and great flavors. There you'll fall in love with the sweetness of the Orange Chicken and the spiciness of the Jambalaya Chicken, just for the start, or the first day. If you can visit the place during several days, I'm sure you'll not get bored and will certainly repeat, like I did, some of the dishes over and over again! On the picture, me and Selma. Selma and her husband are the most hard working and generous people I know and this reflects on the quality of the food they prepare at Galletto's!

I don't know why it took me so long to write this review. I've been coming here for YEARS and see the same face everytime I pay. Never had any issues and the food is always good. My favorite place of all food spots in ANY mall.

I've been choosing here for my mall orange chicken fix as opposed to their next door neighbor. They give smaller edible pieces and generous portions in comparison. Quality is much better too. Service is super friendly, fortunately I usually have the same person checking me out and he's always so nice.

Delicious food! I wish there were more locations, if this one ever goes away I’ll die. I always get the veggie (yellow) rice with the spicy chicken it’s so tasty. The chicken pulls apart because it marinates in the spicy peppery sauce it’s so tender and delicious. Staff is always super nice as well :-). Obsessed with this place.

My partner and I was looking for a good quality brazilian food to have a lunch near by where we were for business, cause we live over 1 hr driving away. We found this great place at the Mall food court. My partner and I had an amazing time. The food it's fresh and very tasty. They not only have the authentic Brazilian dishes, you also can tasty a bit of American/Asian infusion. The workers are very friendly and helpful too. We will definitely stop by again anytime we be around this area.
