This place was excellent!! The quesadillas were genuinely some of the best I've had. The cheese was rich & perfectly melted, the meat was seasoned with real depth, & the guacamole was fresh, balanced, & full of flavor. Everything tasted like it was made with care & intention.

The music created an amazing atmosphere without being too loud. The staff were incredibly kind.

Portions were generous & the pricing was more than fair for the quality. It is rare to find a restaurant that gets food, service, & vibe right at the same time. This one is absolutely perfect.

Can't wait to return!!View more

Great food, service pretty good. Checking in in a little more often would be better. Cushions on the outdoor benches are needed for comfort.View more

Came on a Friday night, the restaurant had a great vibe. The waitress was fantastic (think her name was Jane). Recommended some great drinks. Food came out fresh & delicious. Wasn't rushed & didn't have to wait too long between dishes. Great meal overall, very much enjoyed by both myself & my wife. Highly recommend & will def be back.View more

Les tacos étaient très gras. Pour ceux qui aiment la friture ça va. Mais on est loins des tacos traditionnels.View more

We came to El Gordo for an early dinner & sat at the bar since tables were fully booked. Usually we prefer a table but we really enjoyed our time at the bar. The service was great, friendly & attentive. My gf had the portobello quesadilla & I had the grilled chicken burrito. The food was really good & the beer refreshing on a hot day. We'll definitely be coming back.View more

We stopped by this place on a last minute reservation & loved it ! Really gorgeous decor on the walls 😍 It was super crowded but the staff was super nice & friendly with excellent service ☺? We had the Barbacoa / Lamb tacos & the Barbacoa / Lamb burrito & it was really delicious ❤? Cannot wait to go back to this awesome 11/10 Mexican restaurant & try other items on the menu ! UPDATE: Went for brunch & had coffee, mimosas, nachos, quesadillas, avocado toast, Huevosrancheros & it was super delicious !View more

Je ne mets pas 5 étoiles, car un mardi à 21h30 on nous a d'abord dit qu'il n'y avait plus de cuisinier, puis finalement qu'il n'y avait plus de desserts. Comme nous savions déjà ce que nous voulions prendre, nous avons été déçus.

Cela dit, les pizzas sont vraiment très bonnes !View more

Very good burritos & friendly staff & service but I was really turned off by a 16 dollar beet & goat cheese salad that was so small & stingy, it was absurd for the price. It's a shame, as the place has decent Mexican fare & a nice terrace.View more

The tacos are good. The service was fine. Ordered a pint but were brought a half pint. Figured they would just charge us for a half pint. Second beer was a full pint, but the waitress didn't seem to understand what size a pint is. When brought to the table she implied she was doing us a favour giving a'larger' beer size. We were charged for full pints. Super odd.View more
