Here at La Palapa, mexican restaurant Santa Rosa, we are mexican food lovers. One of our favourite mexican dishes  is the  pico de gallo. It is a great appetizer or salad because is super healthy and tastes SO good. We usually eat it with some tortilla chips or with any Mexican like our famous terminator burritos

Everybody loves this recipe and it’s ready in just 5 or 10 minutes. It lasts about a couple of days in the fridge, but the veggies will go soggy, so I always make my pico de gallo just before serving. If you want to taste the pico the gallo, but you don’ t like to cook or just don’ t have the time for it, then come to our mexican restaurant in Santa Rosa, and you will be sure to taste this great mexican plate. Almost all our plates comes already with pico de gallo.
Tips:

  • Feel free to use any type of tomato or onion.
  • If you don’t like spicy food, omit the japaleño. If you can’t find it, use any other fresh or dried chili pepper.
  • If you don’t like cilantro, use some fresh parsley instead.
  • Lemon juice is also a great choice.
