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, diners describe El Gordo as a warm, welcoming Mexican spot with a relaxed vibe, where attentive service, a friendly staff and solid value set the tone. The menu is praised for variety and notes of vegetarian options, with many praising generous portions and flavors on staples like tacos, burritos, fajitas and quesadillas, plus standout desserts such as churros. The atmosphere, including a cozy interior and a pleasant terrace, earns consistent compliments, and live music or jazz nights are often described as a bonus, though some guests find the volume a bit high on busy evenings. While the food is repeatedly highlighted for freshness and quality, a few visits mention occasional delays, uneven timing between courses, or items arriving cooler than expected, and there are occasional comments about seasoning being too salty by some diners. Overall, El Gordo emerges as a reliable favorite for gatherings with friends or family, good value for money, and a welcoming environment that many say they would return to again and again.
Pour Pizza Gepetto: Service impeccable. Tous très gentils. Si le spécial du samedi avant 18h tient toujours, ça vaut vraiment le coup, pas cher & copieux!
Même en plein froid quel plaisir de manger un bon burritos ! Le personnel est accueillant & la décoration digne d'un restaurant mexicain. N'hésitez pas à demander de la sauce pimenté pour réchauffer votre soirée !
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 quesadillas

Super belle découverte, la bouffe était délicieuse, & c'est bien pratique pour aller voir un show au Beanfield après ;)
Seul petit bémol, il n'y avait plus aucun dessert disponible le moment venu. Considérant que nous sommes arrivés à 17h15 pour le souper, je me dis que beaucoup de clients dans la soirée n'ont pas pu en avoir.... Pas la fin du monde du tout, mais un peu dommage. On va revenir quand même ;)

Beaucoup de variétés sur les plats mexicaine. Les portions sont corrects & les sauces savoureux.
La serveuse a été très attentif & très agréable avec mon enfant!
While taking my dog for a walk, we felt a little "snacky"
We ordered a guacamole & salsa nachos, $12 (cheapest thing that caught my eye)
Well, was I disappointed!
The prompt & polite service brought me a "meal"
It hit the spot, more than I intended.
Dog friendly sidewalk service, such a delight.
We came here a couple of times before & liked the place. However, we came here on a Tuesday to have a quick bite & a drink on the terrace to enjoy the beautiful weather. The waitress today gave us a horrible service. She forgot to bring us the wine menu & it took 45 minutes to get the bottle we ordered.
She gave us 2 dirty glass & a warm bottle. When we mention the glasses were dirty, she didn't even change them. We were disapointed that we decided to grab a bite elsewhere.
Both waitresses were young & lack experience, they didn't even let us taste the $80 bottle wine we ordered before pouring into our dirty glasses.
