El Gallo Giro — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Every time I go there is a problem but today it was ridiculous. I first arrived and noticed that the pan dulce, conchas, were being sorted. I thought they were adding more to the mix no, the worker was taking some of the empty trays. Naturally I looked for the flavor I like but there were none I asked the worker as she was taking the trays “do you not have chocolate conchas” SHE IGNORED ME. I left it alone I went to go buy some concha’s and everything went smoothly until as I was getting in my car I remembered I forgot to get water for me and my children. I usually order two cups of water due to them needed it went eating the bread. I went back inside quickly to ask for two cups of water. There were a total of four works gossiping and when I got their attention the blond hair exaggerated makeup worker gave me a nasty look. I ignored it and asked for two cups of water one of the other workers was about to give them to me but stopped due to the blonde telling me I could only get ONE cup of water. I told her oh but I just bought something why are you limiting my cups it’s a really hot day and my kids need the water. No that’s what she said doesn’t matter. She acts like I haven’t been there and have asked for two cups of water before. I know it’ll sound cliche but if I could give it a zero...

Well this is the first time coming to a gallo giro location and it was awful!!

Super helpful staff. They made sure I knew what I was ordering, and double checked the receipt with me to make sure I knew the cost. I think they thought I was confused between taco and tamale after I ordered 6 pork & 6 rayas tamales after ordering the Pierna Adobada torta.

Their tortas are amazing. Aguas frescas always a good call (got the Horchata this time). Pork tamale good, but a little spicy (wanted chicken but they were out). Had to look up what rayas tamale was. It's a creamy roasted poblano pepper and it's freaking delicious.

The torta was huge. I've got a decent appetite and half of one filled me up. I had the other half the next day for lunch and it was still pretty good reheated. I could've finished it in one sitting if I skipped the Horchata, maybe. But I would've had to take a post lunch nap.

Had rayas tamale for dinner, reheated in microwave (I know, sacrilege) still great. Tonight I had the pork, reheated in the cast iron skillet for the first time ever to try something new. Not bad. I usually steam, but the skillet method isn't bad.

Staff was super friendly and taught me a little Spanish too while waiting. Definitely recommend this place if you're...
