El Gallo Giro - Review - Mission - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"When we’re looking for Mexican food in San Francisco, our internal GPS usually points us in a few directions depending on what we’re looking for: burritos at El Farolito, tlayudas at Donaji, and carne asada at Tacos Del Barrio. But when we’re craving carnitas, there’s only one destination: El Gallo Giro. This food truck on 23rd Street in the Mission is serving carnitas tacos for which we’d endure 4x Uber surge pricing. The meat is extra crispy, the tortillas are pillowy, and the tomatillo salsa has a kick (but if you’re looking for something delicious that will also give your mouth third-degree burns, get the extra spicy chicharron). El Gallo Giro is cash-only and open for lunch Monday through Friday, so make sure you've stopped by the ATM and have a conveniently timed out-of-office meeting on your calendar." - Ricky Rodriguez
