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.

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

We loved Geppetto in our 20's & love it even more with a toddler in tow. The food has been super reliable these last years & there are good options for everyone. They are super sweet & welcoming for kids too - when we don't feel like cooking or want to do something nice for supper Geppetto is always an easy choice.
