The El Gallo Giro taco truck parks on a quiet corner in front of a renovated city park. El Gallo Giro — which translates to “the twirling rooster” — may not be the most well-known taco truck in the Mission district of San Francisco, but it is one of the tastiest. And with taco prices ranging from $1.25 – $1.50, it is definitely one of most reasonably priced taco trucks around.
On a recent visit, I ordered a carne asada taco, a pollo taco and a carnitas taco. 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!
