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!

Review Summary

El Gordo is described as a lively, family friendly Mexican spot with fresh, flavorful dishes and solid handmade margaritas, a warm festive vibe and good value for casual meals, especially for tacos, guacamole, quesadillas and other favorites; service is praised as attentive and friendly on many visits, with a vibrant terrace and kid friendly options, but some experiences note occasional service lapses, inconsistent bar quality, and dessert issues, and a few comments question authenticity or spiciness, particularly at the Saint Lambert location; overall the place is seen as a reliable option for real Mexican food with a welcoming vibe and people planning to return.

Bonne qualité d'ingrédients, nourriture savoureuse! Supers bons drinks & belle terrasse. Endroit parfait pour les familles car plein de jeux & grand square en face ou les enfants peuvent s'amuser pendant que les parents mangent.

Faites attention aux Margaritas & Palomas, j'en suis accro!!! Haha

Prix très raisonnables & portions parfaites, enfin un mexicain à Saint-Lambert!

Le personnel est cool, l'ambiance aussi.

Parfait pour resto en famille comme entre amis, ou encore un 5 à 7.

Très kid friendly, avec la proximité du parc, les proprios laissent à disposition des ballons, vélos, buts de hockey, jeu gonflable.

Martin, un des proprios a même joué une game de soccer avec nous!

Vous pouvez même y acheter des bas avec le logo du resto!

Nous avons adoré notre souper au El Gordo St. Lambert! Il faisait longtemps que je voulais un bon endroit de tacos dans le coin & nous avons bien aimé. Les employés étaient sympathiques & efficaces. Excellent endroit pour jeunes familles aussi
