    nasty lettuce taking over my bowl.
    Guera ..

    This place is the worst i've ever tasted in my life. they have roaches the ones that could fly and then my step father in law has a very very burnt tortilla , my brother in law got mexican and white rice at the same time in his burrito and his tortilla was stale , i myself got a burrito bowl and could taste the whole lettuce juice in it , the asada is overly cooked , the service was so bad that i wouldn't even treat anyone that way. i suggest you guys don't eat here at all.

    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.

    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

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

    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

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

    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.

    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

    Food flavor is 9/10 (milanesa torta). Woman on the registers was helpful and very professional. This location also sells Mexican bread (pan dulce) and hot drinks (elote). Definitely worth a stop

    The tamales are meat less dry and hard not recommended

I arrived to my destination to eat my tacos I open up the foil and this is what I found very messy and disgusted I couldn't even pick it up to eat one because it was so so messy so I wrap them back up in the same foil and came back to the restaurant. I informed that cashier lady that I wanted my tacos redone by placing them correctly. The cooker ended up just separating same tacos and putting them in a plate I told him no that's not how you serve tacos when you have 3 different meats especially if they're in some sauce. Then another kind gentleman came and said he will go ahead and make three new tacos individually wrapped. I apologize for not getting his name Carmelo was not happy with me but either was I with him So here are some photos on how I receive in the beginning and then how I received at the end.

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.

    I've never spent any time in Fontana so this was a first experience here. Had to pick something up…read morewhich lead us to here. Rush hour is still no joke trying to get anywhere these days. Trying to find a place along the strip was pretty hard. We asked someone where to go for food and they even mentioned for us to go to Rancho if we wanted something fancy. But with traffic and going the opposite direction, that made the decision to stay. Let me say, Fontana does have a lot of Mexican restaurants to choose from. Good in a sense but bad as you don't know which one is good. We originally stopped off at a place that was recommended but from the look out front, they were renovating while the place was still open. It just didn't looked welcoming. It could have but first impression wasn't there. Hence we ended up here which was literally a minute or so from it. Theres a massive parking lot for the restaurant. As we were walking in, they do have a pretty big patio area that looks out to the lot. There's also a section that inside. We didn't know that you would have to order at the counter and the seat yourself. Found that out later. The inside section was smaller but it's where you would go if you wanted the ac. It was hot but bearable so we were ok with sitting outside. Menu, a bit of everything. Downfall, we did asked if they had happy hour as that what we were looking for but they didn't. The cashier didn't really understand what we meant but said they had it on Tuesday which was odd for one day. She probably meant taco Tuesday specials. Oh, they don't serve alcohol so there goes happy hour...lol... Food, we got an order of the enchiladas plate which came with beans and rice for a really affordable price. It was pretty filling and quite nice. I was craving ceviche but they didn't really have it but did have tostada with shrimp cocktail. It was decent but too sweet for me. That wasn't too filling so ordered some of the street tacos. They're quite small so a few were ordered. The Al pastor tends to be my go too but these were a little on the overcooked and dry side. The birria was quite nice and juicy. And lastly the carnitas, it was good and cooked well but overall the birria was the winner. Food was good so that was nice. Just didn't like the ordering first and seating yourself. They also had a salsa bar with 4 choices to choose from as well as hot beans where you can serve yourself. That's a first with the beans for me as I've never been to a place where you can serve yourself beans. Plus chips are an additional fee. Overall, the place was nice. Tacos and enchiladas were great.
