History
in 1997, Minerva De Torres and Herminio Torres Sr., two Mexican immigrants, took over a corner space in South Brooklyn to continue their dream. The mom & pop of four had already found hard-fought success opening the bodega next door. They were Mexican pioneers in a neighborhood graced by only the best Italian shops & restaurants (L&B Spumoni Gardens, anyone?). After a long run, they decided to sell the joint in 2003 and move on to something different. in 2017, twenty years later, their son Alejandro Torres, comes back to the same spot to bring the neighborhood some of the best mexican food around. Welcome to a new era of Mexican food in South Brooklyn. Welcome to El Gallo Taqueria.
