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.

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

Nous étions très serrés, très à l'étroit pour manger. Nachos brulées & riz collé dans la poêle. Serveuses dépassées. Belle place toutefois.

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 ;)
