Where can you get a giant Tweety Bird pinata, a metal cactus and some talavera pottery - all on one place??
Also, where can you get free Margaritas (frozen or on the rocks) while you shop?
OK....so I am kidding about that last part....but now that I have your attention.....here is the quick back-story.
In a recent trip to S. Texas, one stop we were making was to look for decent pricing on several pieces of pottery for our patio.
We looked at 3-4 places around Harlingen, but found this El Gallo to have the best pottery variety/selection and decent prices - even when compared to the 'fruit stands' north of town on State Hwy. 77.
On their Biz card, it says "El Gallo - Pinateria y Mexican Imports". In summary, here is a list of what they carried;
- Terra Cotta Clay Pottery (many sizes, styles, colors)
- Terra Cotta Home Accents
- Talavera Pottery (limited selection)
- Metal art pieces (limited selection with animals, bugs, cactus & Texas Stars)
- Pinatas; While we did not browse the pinatas, they did appear to have quite a selection of sizes and characters.
PRO TIP; If you speak Espanol, then you are in the best position to negotiate a discount if you are buying LOTS of pottery. If tu no habla Espanol, then you are out of luck. Gringo y gringas will need ask for Alejandra (956) 460-2874 or call her to see if she is working that day. read more
