El Gordo is a friendly and welcoming neighbourhood taqueria where simplicity rhymes with savoury. Come try one of our delicious tacos, offered at a very affordable price. There is something for everyone; meat, fish or vegetables. Our Mexican-inspired cuisine is bursting with flavour and goes well with one of our exotic cocktails such as margaritas or mojitos! In addition to tacos, you will also find Latin cuisine classics such as quesadillas, burritos and fajitas plates to share. If you want to bring the Mexican Fiesta home, our catering service will delight you!
Overall, El Gordo offers authentic Mexican cooking with a wide range of dishes and a strong cocktail program that many guests praised for quality and variety. The flavors are described as delicious and the guacamole and ceviche are standout, with generous portions noted by several. The atmosphere is festive and lively, making it a good spot for friends and celebrations, though the space can feel tight and the noise level high. Service is frequently described as fast, friendly, and attentive, with staff aiming to accommodate the guests' plans, sometimes at the expense of a more relaxed pace during busy times. While some diners found the pace rushed and the room loud for intimate dinners, others praised value for money and eager to return to try more items. In short, El Gordo is seen as a top choice for Mexican in the area, especially for a fun night out, with brunch and family options mentioned as positives.
Possiblement le restaurant le plus fun de la région! J'adore y venir chillee derrière une margarita toujours pressée frais & accompagnée de super tacos
C'était ma première visite dans ce restaurant. Accueil & service vraiment sympathiques & professionnels. Plats copieux & savoureux. Margarita… 💚 Je le recommande. sans hésitation .
I only gave 4 stars for atmosphere for people who are looking for a quiet place. This restaurant is a busy happening place to be. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, & the food was soooo good. Our waiter knew his menus inside out, so when we forgot the ingredients of our cocktails & were curious, he didn't need to bring us the menu again (although he still did later LOL), he seemed genuinely happy to describe our drinks to us, not just the ingredients but even how the bartender mixed it up. Reserve in advance or you won't get a table inside, it's that busy (which is a good sign).
Très belle ambiance, beau décor! Il faut aimé le bruit, difficile de s'entendre. Le service était rapide & sympathique! Nous étions trois amies & nous avons été les trois déçus de la qualité de la nourriture & du manque de saveur. Le porc dans mes tacos était caoutchouteux, le bol burrito sans saveur & les churros étaient secs.Nous sommes peut être tomber sur une mauvaise soirée! Malheureusement je n'ai pas aimé la nourriture, dommage! Les goûts sont dans la nature comme on dit ;)
Je recommande cet endroit! L'ambiance y est festifs, la nourriture est vraiment très excellente, ont c'est régaler!!! Les plats sont plein, ont en a pour notre argent.
