Raymond G.

Came here with a group of friends. I had the 4 tacos combo with rice, beans, and a 20 oz raspberry iced tea fountain drink for $13.99. The four tacos I had were Chorizo, Asada, Carnitas, and Pastor. I also had a carnitas torta for $12. We also shared a various assortment of Bakery items. Food was good and very filling. They did give fountain drink refills. We stayed here a while and had a great time! The place was clean. Employees were nice. I will be back!

Large chicken taco.

Came in with Organized, nice and clean place. Friendly reception. Serves variety of Hispanic cuisine and even Cuban. Has bakery in house and they all look so good. I like the aroma of baked goodies all over the place. They have different agua frescas. Jamaica, pepino, naranja, mamey, pina, dragon fruit and even chia. Liked the sugar free Jamaica sweetheart got for me. Good, juicy and not watery taste. Got a sample of pork carnitas. It was delicious and flavorful. Not shy of seasoning. Ordered pork carnitas and grilled chicken tacos. As good as it looked. Price though is a little high for the portions. Overall, it's worth coming back.

Cubana Torta (Torta Cubana)

Still love this place. Best torta's in the inland empire. Tacos and burritos are good too.

Enseńando mi orden

Desde que abrieron el Gallo Giro de Huntington Park me an gustado las tortas cubanas, hoy vivo en Apple Valley y algunas veses voy a Fontana a comprar y hoy hice una orden por la aplicación de el Gallo de la especial de 4 tortas cubanas y cuando llego de regreso a mi casa para comer veo que la carne ya no tiene pierna como tal parecen carnitas, llamo y quien me contestó me dijo que desde hace como un ańo cambiaron la forma de cómo hacen la pierna, pero cuando estaba comiendo mi hija su torta se da cuenta que no tenía milanesa y reviso y solo una torta de las 4 tenía milanesa, muy decepcionada Manejar 3 horas en ida y vuelta y llegar y darte cuanta que todo está mal

Chorizo and Carnitas Tacos
Mr. C.

Stopped by and got me a big carnitas taco and a chorizo taco. Didn't really know what to expect due to the mid Mexican food of the Inland Empire. The carnitas taco was pretty dry, flavors didn't stand out even with the salsa, not quality. The chorizo taco on the other hand was actually pretty good, had that fat juice, that paired with the chorizo and a squeeze of like made it solid. Carnitas Taco: 5.9 Chorizo Taco: 7.8

Trompa burrito

Passing by area and stopping here for trompa burritos. After a long day of work. Food still great but prices are slowly climbing.

El Gallo Giró in Fontana has an amazing customer service and delicious aguas frescas. Huge tortas with great variety of tacos as well. Very clean and friendly staff

Delicious bread from bakery.

I ate at this El Gallo Giro years ago so when I finished my nearby appointment early, I decided to revisit and get some breakfast. I ordered a Ham and Egg Torta as well as a Ham and Egg Burrito to try. The staff are welcoming when I entered the restaurant. I also got a few items from the bakery area. Bolilos here are four for $1.00 which is a good deal. The food is made fresh when it is ordered. It will take a few minutes. Be sure to get both red and green salsas. The salsas here are just mildly spicy but have a good, fresh flavor. The Ham and Egg Torta tasted good and had a fair amount of chopped ham. Eggs had a crispy edge which I like for texture. The beans were rich and very creamy. Avocados were fresh and perfectly ripe. The torta is generous in size so there is plenty to save for later. The Ham and Eggs Burrito was exceptionally good. I think this was the better of the two items I ordered. Again, large in size so there will be more for a later meal or snack. The eggs were scrambled with onions and bell pepper which enhanced the flavor of the eggs. The addition of rice really made the creaminess of the beans stand out. I will definitely return sometime to try out the other burritos on the menu. The bakery items I selected were acceptable. Other than the freshly baked bolilos, the items on the bakery racks seemed a bit tired. Parking is plentiful in the lot. Getting to the restaurant going South on Sierra is a little tricky. You have to enter from Valley Boulevard.

Conchas

Very friendly place. I haven't been to a Gallo giro in a long time How I've missed it. The pan looks fresh and they make the tortas to order.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and they were pretty busy…read more I ordered carne asada tacos (can't go wrong with that) and chicharon tacos. And my boyfriend ordered a chicharon burrito. When ordering the lady asked my boyfriend if he was okay with cilantro, onions, rice okay in the burrito and he omitted the beans. One thing she never asked is we wanted hotsauce on the food. Because when I got my tacos and he got his burrito, it had hotsauce. I think this is something they should ask if you want when you are ordering. What if someone is ordering for a kid and they don't like hotsauce. I say this cos I don't like hotsauce. My boyfriend had to bring to back and they have new tacos with no hotsauce. Another thing that is a hit or miss here are the chicharon. Our chicharon was both crunchy and soft. I noticed it depends what time of day you go and you also know by how much chicharon they have left (you can see it on the display). I like how they have the toppings in a little bar where you can get (hot sauce, pickled jalapeños, cilantro and onions). It is a small restaurant. They have some seats indoor and outdoor. And they even have a tortilla lady in the corner making fresh tortillas.

This little hole in the wall taco shop is one of those spots you almost don't notice unless someone…read moretells you about it, but I'm glad I found it. The tacos are really good and packed with flavor, and the burritos are just as solid, big portions that actually fill you up without feeling overpriced. You definitely get your money's worth here, which is hard to find these days. One of the best parts is the salsa bar. They have a good variety of salsas, and all of them taste fresh and delicious, not watered down like some places. You can really customize your food depending on how spicy you like it. The only downside is there's no kids menu, so it might be tough if you have really picky eaters. But if you're just looking for good tacos, good burritos, fair prices, and a taco spot to grab a quick meal, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Found this gem of a taco spot that is just as good as the best I've had anywhere I've had in Southern California. They're usually open late, the portions are pretty darn large, and the prices are more than reasonable. They have a great assortment of toppings and salsas and make their tortillas fresh. This place pretty much checks all the important boxes for me personally when it comes to taco spots I love. I came here late at night and the line wasn't too crazy. Not as lively as more popular spots I've been to, but there were a few people in line. You do get the vibe that this spot is a favorite among locals. I ordered a vampiro (crunchier tortilla with a layer of caramelized cheese that holds the meat and toppings) with asada and two al pastor tacos. Usually, I can eat that easily, but with the portions here, it was a bit of a chore. The smoky flavors and fresh toppings and salsa were all on point. The horchata I got to wash everything down was also very good. A true gem of a spot in the Inland Empire.

With the shredded lettuce, cotija cheese, sour cream, and avocado. It had the perfect mix of freshness and crunch To drink, I tried cebada for the first time and I'm officially a fan It tasted like a mix between horchata and chocolate milk... such a good combo If you love tortilla soup, RUN don't walk ‍ it's a limited-time special! The tender chicken, crispy chips, and toppings like avocado, purple onion, cotija, and sour cream made it an absolute dream The barbacoa was super tender and flavorful, served with pasta salad, beans, and handmade tortillas everything tasted homemade and comforting The pork tamale was giving soft and tender on the inside with a slightly crispy, pan-fried outer layer. And they did not skimp on the filling...lots of meat and potatoes The machaca had so much flavor I loved the veggies and potatoes, paired with beans and rice. It was hearty and satisfying The ceviche was bright, fresh, and citrusy right up my alley! I would've loved a little more spice, but the homemade tostadas took it to another level Quesabirria tacos? Always a yes cheesy, tender, flavorful meat with consomé for dipping... say less paired with cheesy beans and rice = perfection For dessert, I got the corn elote soft, sweet, and delicious. I also tried it pan-fried and it gave caramel brûlée vibes so good! This spot feels like you're eating a home-cooked meal made with love and intention Great service and ambiance. "Las cosas buenas toman tiempo" and you can definitely taste that here
