Pico de Gallo is always raw diced white onion, tomatoes, chile ---usually jalapenos or serranos, and cilantro. Season with salt and lemon or lime juice to taste. Pico de Gallo translates literally to: rooster beak, but means: to corse chop like using a beak to do the job (instead of a knife)
Salsa Fresca is always minced raw chile, usually chili guerrito (yellow) or another mild to medium chili, green onion, cilantro and cooled boiled water. Any other raw ingredients are to the cook's fancy, such as tomatoe, white onion, multiple chili peppers, avocado, mango, bell pepper, etc. Season with salt to taste. Salsa Fresca translates and means fresh sauce (not cooked).

Probably the most obvious difference between the two recipes is the names of each: "salsa fresca" means fresh sauce; "pico de gallo" means rooster beak.
The recipes can be virtually identical, but some pico de gallo recipes are made with fruit and chile powder. Otherwise, you are going to include tomatoes, onions, chile peppers, cilantro, and lime juice. Sometimes people add avocadoes and cucumbers. The recipes vary from region to region.

For my mexican wife, the difference is the texture. Salsa Fresca is much more finely chopped and Pico De Gallo is very coursely chopped.

pico de gallo more coarse, not as saucy/runny as Salsa Fresca
