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.

L'endroit est bien décoré, il y a une bonne ambiance & playlist, le staff est très bien également. Beaucoup de choix sur la carte mais j'étais un peu déçue de la nourriture que j'ai trouvé un peu fade. J'y suis allée un vendredi soir & on avait réservé, une chance car l'endroit est bondé vers 20h mais une heure plus tard il y avait davantage de places assises. Bon endroit pour boire un verre entre amis.
The noise level was just too much. Bustling & busy is just fine, & the noise level was very high as it was, but then the music was turned UP. Could not hear my friend speaking.
I've been wanting to go to Geppetto & I finally made it. The ambiance was charming & so was the service. We had Ceasar salad, salad niçoise, baked cauliflower, linguini with pancetta & truffle. Everything was delicious. We even asked for a Genoa pizza to bring home. It was delightful. We shall definitely go back whenever we feel like enjoying an Italian meal. 😉
