El Gallo Giro (Huntington Park)
El Gallo Giro is a Mexican restaurant and taquería at Pacific Boulevard and Florence Avenue in Huntington Park, California, known for its tortas, guisados and taco counter.
Overview
The Huntington Park El Gallo Giro stands at 7148 Pacific Boulevard, at the corner of Florence Avenue, on the busy commercial stretch of Pacific between Florence and Slauson. L.A. TACO wrote about it in 2006, describing a dining room hung with papel picado and filled with recorded mariachi music. It is unrelated to the El Gallo Giro in San Francisco.
Ordering
Customers line up at separate stations: one for tacos, others for tortas, guisados, drinks and payment, a system the writer found slow but characteristic of the place. The torta cubana was described as the restaurant's best-seller. House-made horchata, atole and fresh juices are also sold. Pacific Boulevard is Huntington Park's main shopping street, and the restaurant's corner location places it among the boulevard's many stores and food businesses.
