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

On voulait essayer ce restaurant mexicain avant d'aller à un spectacle. La nourriture était délicieuse. Petit bémol, le monde parlait si fort qu'on ne pouvait pas trop apprécier la musique. Mis à part ça tout était génial!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

Petit restaurant, très charmant ! Nous sommes allés manger là par hasard & nous avons eu la chance d'être servis par Jeanne. C'est une excellente serveuse qui est attentionnée & qui prend le temps pour ses clients. & que dire de la nourriture ! 4 plats différentes à notre table, 4 excellents plats ! Nous y retournerons sûrement lors de notre prochaine visite !

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

Food was delicious & price reasonable for the quality. Service was the only reason I can't give 5 stars. Service felt hurried & not very friendly.View more

Les brunchs sont très bons & ça fait changement des déjeuners des franchises. Le mimosa était offert gratuitement ce matin-là. Attention au service qui a tendance à choisir l'anglais (proprio je crois), alors que la serveuse était impeccable.View more

Toujours un plaisir de passer manger ou prendre un verre au El Gordo. Les employés sont chaleureux, la nourriture est excellente & les cocktails originaux. Définitivement un incontournable de la rue Notre-Dame. Je recommande fortement.
