Surprisingly Good Carne Asada Burrito
My experience at the restaurant was surprisingly good. I ordered the Carne Asada Burrito, which came with salsa and chips, for around $15. The flavor and quality of the food were excellent. I will definitely be back.

Best Carne Asada Burrito Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I've eaten a million burritos in the Mission and tried damn near every spot, but the carne asada burrito I had last week might take the crown. That first bite, I think I made an audible moan. Ohhh lawddd 😤🤣

Delicious Tacos and Spicy Salsa!
My first visit was a great experience! I absolutely loved the lengua and Asada tacos I ordered. I'm already looking forward to trying the beef head next time. Just a heads-up, the salsa is genuinely spicy 🤣🤣🤣.

Excellent Carnitas Super Burrito!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the carnitas super burrito, and it was excellent. They have a couple of tables set up, and the seating type is an outdoor patio / terrace. The wait time was no wait, and the atmosphere was great.

Amazing Tacos and Service!
I discovered El Gallo Giro by chance in the neighborhood, and the tacos BLEW MY MIND. The portion size was amazing for the price, the meat was perfectly cooked, and the pickled veggies on the side elevated the entire dish! The service was excellent, even when I had to clarify what the menu meant; I was explained to with smiles. I read that it's a family business, and what a joy for the community to have them around. It was a lovely experience.

Fantastic Carnitas and Flavorful Meats!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the crispy carnitas, which were incredibly flavorful and the best I've had in a while. The asada and al pastor were also really good. The food quality was excellent, and the service and atmosphere were top-notch, both receiving a perfect score.

Excellent Burritos and Tacos!
My experience at this Mexican food truck was excellent. The burritos were outstanding and very tasty 😋. I enjoyed every bite until the last one. The tacos 🌮 were also highly recommended. I would definitely recommend this Mexican food truck.

Favorite spot for al pastor & carne asada
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's my favorite spot for al pastor and carne asada tacos. The food was fresh, tasty, and delicious, and the service was quick. It was everything I could want to hit the spot. Plus, there's easy neighborhood parking.

Delicious Tacos & Sweet Service in SF
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! They are a cash only establishment, but the sweetest people ever made up for it. We ordered 6 tacos, and they kindly asked if we wanted them split on two plates. They were also happy to provide extra limes when requested. While there are only two small tables set up outside, the location is perfect, right across from a cute park. The al pastor tacos were my favorite, but the pollo and carne asada were also delicious. It's a great value for SF!

Divine Carnitas - A Must Stop!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The carnitas were absolutely divine – they were perfectly crispy, juicy, and salty, with a wonderful savory flavor. This place truly does not miss. It's a must stop for anyone looking for great food.
