2 reviews for El Gallo Giro
They just moved up the street to 5285 Glenwood St. where there used to be a Pizza Hut. Decided to check them out finally after wondering if they were for real back in that little space in the strip mall.
The family has been in business for decades and have crafted their own unique specialties. I need to go back and check those out. We were only in the mood for standards. Ceviche was ok. Nothing spesh. The torta was nicely toasted and the carnitas pork was great. The Olivia salad has an unusual grilled chicken. And the mini-chimis were a little too salty and the chicken tasted funny.
I would go back again to check out their Molcajetes.
I think they have a full bar too.
I used to go here a lot, but not so much lately due to a job change. Very tasty carnitas and, while not great, everything is consistently good. It's basic fare but you probably won't be disappointed. If you order tacos have them made without the house salsa; they always put too much on and it gets goopy. A few drops of El Yucateco habenero is exactly what you need!
