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

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

Nous avons pris un bol végétarien & des tacos arrachera. Les saveurs du bol étaient bonne & les tacos aussi étaient bon. Le prix du bol était résonable par contre les tacos sont chères. L'endroit est cute & bien placé.View more

Taco très très ordinaire Poisson - goût de poisson accentué (on a pas terminé l'assiette) Porc- sans saveur. Manque de goût ++ Bavette - correct, sans plus Salade de chou (accompagnement) : acidulée ++++ à s'en étouffer. Impossible de la manger malheureusement Entrée Calmars frit : grosse rondelle industrielle... très ordinaire. Drink : Bien Service : on doit interpeller le serveur régulièrement car il ne se présente pas à la table pour valider que nous avons tout ce qu'il faut. Nous avons demandé la carte des vins 3 X avant de finalement l'obtenir. & il a omis de nous apportez nos verres. (On a dû le redemander au bout de 10 minutes... nous sommes déçu +++ Facture de 165$ + pourboire. J'aurais préféré donner mon argent à un autre restaurateur qui aurait porté plus d'attention au client & nous aurait offert une nourriture de meilleur goût.View more

I have had mexican food for over two years now & I have never seen a restaurant serving two tacos per plate. The cheese in the nachos wasn't melted & had a very weird taste to it. I ordered a chicken burrito bowl & I was surprised to find that the rice was not very good. Overall, I wouldn't say this is one of the best mexican joints to have food. The servers forgot giving us water although multiple requests were made. However, the atmosphere is very nice.View more

Excellent service from the moment I walked in. I had ground beef tacos that tasted better than I was hoping for. I will go back.🌮View more

Nice, cozy Mexican restaurant blocks away from the Atwater market. I had the avocado tempura 🥑 🌮 tacos which were delicious. The marinated onions were just perfect, not too spicy. The guacamole & salsa with nachos was good too, salsa has a smoky flavour. Can get a little loud with the trucks on Notre-Dame, but overall nice vibe & was satisfied with the service.View more

Came here with some friends during the week after work. We enjoyed sitting outdoors & enjoying the warm weather. I like that they have daily specials. Unfortunately I had my heart set on trying the birria tacos but unfortunately those are only available on the weekends. The food is ok, & for the price we only got 2 tacos (ordered the fish & the avocado tacos). We also ordered chips with guac & salsa & was also disappointed by the size of the portion for the price that we paid. We did however enjoy the assortment of chili sauces they offered with our meal.View more

Attention au menu de groupe, pas worth! Trop cher pour peu & qualité bof, vaut mieux reserver plusieurs petits groupes pour commander a la carte. Le serveur ne voulait pas accomoder pour des options vege comme le menu etait fixe. Il disait que cetait inpossible apres avoir demandé, mais est revenu a une des filles du groupe pour lui offrir des taco vg. J'ai du argumenté pour en avoir meme si javais demandé la meme chose avant le souper. Drole de service.View more

Went there for a late lunch & the place was quiet, not crowded (perfect for us with a baby & stroller), music not too loud & service was very nice & friendly. The cocktails & food (we had the margaritas & burrito bowls) were 10/10. Wilk return to try their tacos for sure.View more

Don't use Doordash for pickup! Good food (tacos & churros), but the owner ignores doordash prepaid orders for pickup. He "doesn't understand how they get placed". Meanwhile, you have to wait for food to be prepared when you arrive & they say "we didn't get your order" (even though you pay via doordash who sends an email & even a text to say your order was received). Apparently we're supposed to order through the website directly, because "doordash just charges 25% for no service." Somehow after I showed the email/text they "found" the order. Makes no sense to me.View more

Le menu midi sur leur site Web est inexistant sur place. Donc ne vous fiez pas aux prix sur internet. Les nachos & les tacos aux poulet sont vraiment super. Mais les calmars frit ont déjà été meilleurs. Meilleurs tacos que j'ai mangé à date.View more

Staff was very friendly, nice atmosphere. Food was okay. Maybe I ordered the wrong tacos, but the pulled pork one was cold & lacking in flavor. The rest of the table enjoyed their fish tacos & burrito.View more

El Gordo is a great Mexican restaurant to grab taco. Went there for dinner on weekday. Wasn't crowded & had plenty of seats. We ordered nachos, drinks & tacos. The food was delicious & good portion size too. However just a point to note, all the dishes has plenty of vinegar soaked onion making the dish tangy which we enjoyed a lot but might not be for everyone.View more

Late lunch @ El Gordo. Had the coliflor tacos; cauliflower, cheek peas, avocado, very delicious. Than tried the shrimp bol with rice & vegies, loved it! Great service with a smile. Loved the portobello & fish tacos. Yummy fried squids. Delicious churros. Brunch at El Gordo, loved it, beans, eggs, avocado, delicious 😋 comes with Mimosa🤠 great service 😁View more

Très bon restaurant Mexicain. Je vous recommande de prendre le plateau à 20 Cad c'est parfait ! Vous avez du riz, guacamole, 2 tacos & même un chichi en guise de dessert. C'est suffisant pour un adulte mais pour les gourmands prenez en un avec des quesadillasView more

Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que nous avons eu. Nous étions 2.
On nous a dit que le fajitas à partager allaient être assez. Nous avons décidé de prendre deux type de tacos en plus de l'assiette fajitas au boeuf à partager. Les accompagnement pour fajitas sont arrivé dans de minuscules pots. Les tacos était délicieux mais ils était si petit que je me demandais pourquoi ils coutaient si cher. Lorsqu'on a demandé à la serveuse si c'était possible d'avoir d'autres pots d'accompagnement, on nous a dit que c'était 2 dollars du pot (gros environ comme la moitié d'un petit V8 pour les lunchs, c'était des petits pots bruns comme pour mettre du beurre). La serveuse nous a dit qu'ils s'étaient trompé de pot d'accompagnement mais de toutes évidences, les autres tables avaient la même chose. L'assiette fajitas est composée 65% de riz, 25% de legumes grillés & un maigre 10% de viande. Nous avons eu l'impression de payer pour du riz.
Nous avons pris des churros en dessert & il n'y avait rien de fantastique. Pour 4 tacos (pensez à une petite feuille d'érable pour la grandeur), une assiette de fajitas (qui réellement comble une personne) & 6 churros à 92$ : nous aurions mieux fait de manger ailleurs.View more
