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.

This place has an excellent ambience, we ordered Camarones (TACOS) & Gringas (Al Pastor)- Quesadillas, the Quesadillas was just amazing must try & also perfect quantity. I would like to mention Simon, who was very kind & took care with precision.
Would love to visit again!

Geppetto is a nice, cozy, hip Italian bistro with solid food & service. Great for night out with friends. Nice terrace. Highly recommend pizzas, carbonara, & lemon tart.

Sangria délicieuse & Éléonore nous a donné un superbe service ! La nourriture est succulente aussi & l'ambiance est agréable à souhait. La terrasse est spacieuse & bien disposée.
Je recommande si vous voulez passer une soirée tranquille dans la Petite-Bourgogne !

I've been here before & usually had good experiences, but this time was very disappointing. I asked for coffee when I arrived & it never came. My friend asked for a glass of water & never got it. The Prosecco for mimosas was warm, & there was a hair on the chilaquiles ( they replace it but anyways got charged) When we asked for extra plates to share food, one of them was dirty. The staff was nice, friendly & tried to help, but these issues really ruined our visit.

So disappointing. The tacos were okay. Not the best & not the worst. But the ceviche was terrible, a few pieces of fish poorly cut & I didn't feel the quality was good.
