About

El Gordo delivers a focused selection of Mexican and Latin American culinary staples characterized by robust spice profiles and fresh ingredients. The menu prioritizes accessible street food aesthetics, featuring hand-pressed tortillas, slow-cooked proteins, and vibrant salsas that anchor the flavor experience. Vegetarian options are seamlessly integrated into the core offerings, ensuring that meatless alternatives maintain the same depth of seasoning and texture as traditional counterparts. The physical space emphasizes functional simplicity with a layout designed for efficiency and steady turnover during peak demand periods. Every component reflects a commitment to regional techniques that highlight the complexity of chilies and maize. This establishment functions as a primary destination for those seeking straightforward, flavorful preparations representative of classic Latin traditions within a fast-paced, utilitarian setting that avoids unnecessary decorative clutter.

Philippe & the Geppetto team are A-1. We had a last minute change to our group, & Phil was very accommodating. Our family has been coming here for many years & we always love it. My kids really like the gluten free pizza & pasta. WARNING: Their hot sauce means business :) WILL BE BACK!

Clients réguliers depuis plusieurs années.
Après avoir pris rendez-vous sur le site, pour 19 heures, & arrivés quelques minutes avant, première attente pour être placés (à l'intérieur, à notre demande écrite) car les serveuses dédiées, visiblement débordées, ne sont pas disponibles, tant elles sont occupées sur la terrasse gigantesque bondée.
Enfin assis, nous devrons attendre plus d1/2 heure pour qu'un serveur vienne prendre notre commande, & nous ne seront servis qu'à 20 h 20. Le reste de la soirée s'est déroulé de la même façon. Longue attente pour avoir la carte des desserts, puis réclamation auprès d'une autre serveuse pour recevoir notre facture, & attente encore pour régler notre facture, que nous avons encore dû réclamer à un autre serveur, qui passait par là. C'est un comble !
L'une des pizzas était un peu trop cuite.
Pas de reproches sur la cuisine, mais organisation du service assez déplorable.
C'est bien dommage, car c'était notre Pizzeria de prédilection.

This is my goto place for pizza in the Atwater area, great pizza & my grandson loves it too.
They also have other Italian dishes & salads. Often they will have a Jazz night or some other entertainment on special nights.
Also has a nice outdoor terrace on Notre Dame

Time & time again, Geppetto's gets it! The brick oven pizza crust & toppings is always a hit as well as the pasta's. The ingredients are always fresh & flavourful & can be tasted individually. Portions are generous. The appetizers & salads are creative & fresh as well. My go-to is the grilled octopus served on chickpeas & hummus. Beer on tap or mixed drinks are great! The service (especially Phillip) is always on point, atmosphere is chill & pleasant. Love this place.
