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.

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.

Had a very good grilled chicken burrito. Was served by a really nice waitress, but couldn't remember her name - not sure if I got it, actually.

Food was mid. Nachos were overpriced in my opinion for almost no cheese & a bunch of pickled onions. Charged me 6 DOLLARS for some guacamole on the side... dehumanizing. Waitress was extremely nice though. Didn't take picture of my nachos because they weren't photo worthy either. Will not come back.

I went there on a very warm day to sit at a table on the terrace with two friends & we shared two dishes (nachos & quesadillas) with absolutely refreshing cocktails. We were greeted & served by a pleasant & courteous hostess who was very attentive to our needs & caring. I recommend this place.
