Many people order "Pico de Gallo" as a salsa-like concoction of tomatoes, onions and cilantro. "Pico de Gallo" is also a fruit salad seasoned with a spicy red chile powder. The term "Pico de Gallo" translates into "peck of the rooster" because of the red chiles used in the seasoning. You can also add in your own favorite fruits such as mangos, plums or nectarines.
