The quality of the clothing and other wares is a little better while staying within the same price range as those other stores. It is a lot smaller than most of those souvenir shops but quality wise, it really shines. The primary articles for sale in the shop is clothing and shoe wear. Lots of shoes and sandles! They also have windchimes, bags, hats, glassware, swimsuits, puzzles, games and books, but I did not see much in the way of inflatables. This establishment is worth checking out and the pictures below should peak your interest.

This place has some serious beach and surfing equipment along with skateboards. Yes they have tons of clothing, hats, shoes, eyewear and swimsuits. It's not a huge store,but they definitely pack in some good surfing gear. Only thing I found conspicuously absent was anything to do with fishing. They do have six dressing rooms for you to use. Definitely a good spot to check out if you're into surfing.

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.
