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.
Excellent food & service. We had the nachos which were smothered in delicious toppings, followed by taquitos & tacos. Everything was surperb...best of all was the pitcher of Margaritas!
Myself & my family had a wonderful time, food was a amazing, the ambiance was spectacular & service was excellent. I gave a 4/5 because I always feel that there are more ways to improve & not settle (this way you can provide also strive to improve). Also, I feel the chips should be complimentary.
Très belle ambiance, beau cadre, service impeccable.
Les fakitas vegetariens tres bons, les tacos étaient très moyens, il y en a de meilleurs à plusieurs places moins dispendieuses (pas terrible le choux rouge sir un tacos!) , les churros étaient crus à l intérieur. Il a fallu les retourner.
Authentic Mexican food in a chill environment. It's a very small restaurant so do reserve. The things to improve are the Pastor tacos - they were terrible. The winners were the fish & the shrimp & chorizo tacos (delish!). The only thing that is a real annoyance is the music, it is very loud. Couple that with the extremely high ceiling & it's virtually impossible to hear what others are saying. That's enough to make me rethink going back.
Très bonne ambiance, service attentionné, bon cocktails mais les saveurs tombent un peu à plat dans la majorité des plats ou du moins les végétariens (nous avons pris les tacos au choux-fleurs & au champignons suite à une entrée de nachos végé). La salade el gordo par contre est excellente.
