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.

On voulait essayer ce restaurant mexicain avant d'aller à un spectacle. La nourriture était délicieuse. Petit bémol, le monde parlait si fort qu'on ne pouvait pas trop apprécier la musique. Mis à part ça tout était génial!

Le menu midi sur leur site Web est inexistant sur place. Donc ne vous fiez pas aux prix sur internet. Les nachos & les tacos aux poulet sont vraiment super. Mais les calmars frit ont déjà été meilleurs. Meilleurs tacos que j'ai mangé à date.

Petit restaurant, très charmant ! Nous sommes allés manger là par hasard & nous avons eu la chance d'être servis par Jeanne. C'est une excellente serveuse qui est attentionnée & qui prend le temps pour ses clients. & que dire de la nourriture ! 4 plats différentes à notre table, 4 excellents plats ! Nous y retournerons sûrement lors de notre prochaine visite !

Staff was very friendly, nice atmosphere. Food was okay. Maybe I ordered the wrong tacos, but the pulled pork one was cold & lacking in flavor. The rest of the table enjoyed their fish tacos & burrito.

Food was delicious & price reasonable for the quality. Service was the only reason I can't give 5 stars. Service felt hurried & not very friendly.

Les brunchs sont très bons & ça fait changement des déjeuners des franchises. Le mimosa était offert gratuitement ce matin-là. Attention au service qui a tendance à choisir l'anglais (proprio je crois), alors que la serveuse était impeccable.
