Recommended by J. Kenji López-Alt and 5 other food critics.

Recommendations

"They're best known for their extraordinarily tender and flavorful chicken, but everything we tried was outstanding."
"If you’re looking for authentic Mexican tacos with homestyle recipes then this is the spot. They were no-fuss tacos at extremely affordable prices (even compared to competitors) and they make all the sauces and marinades in house."
"Arguably — and people are definitely going to fight over this statement — this truck serves the best al pastor in town. It is perfectly spiced, complex, and totally crave-worthy."
"Nowadays, one can't read a local taco list without seeing El Gallo Giro making an appearance, and the carnitas, chicharrones and roast chicken tacos are what keep tacophiles trekking out to this truck."
"In addition to having Capri Sun on offer (WUT), they've got a next-level chicken taco with meat that's tender, juicy, and liberally spiced. The overall effect is a well-balanced blend of citrus, heat, and roasted chili depth."
"Each taco came with meat pilled on two wonderfully grilled corn tortillas topped with diced white onions, cilantro, and salsa. I prefer my tacos with a little kick, so I ordered mine with hot sauce. The plate of tacos came with a few lime wedges, slices of radishes and a pickled jalapeño. Fantastic!"
