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 comes across as a cozy, family friendly Mexican spot with a lively vibe and a welcoming terrace. The food is consistently praised for freshness and bold flavors, with tacos al pastor, quesadillas and other staples noted as well prepared and generously portioned. Drinks and cocktails are a strong point for many, with margaritas and mocktails highlighted, though a few reviews mention cocktails that are a bit too sweet. Service is frequently described as friendly, attentive and efficient, with guests appreciating kid friendly touches and staff that go the extra mile. Ambiance ranges from festive and authentic to casual and cozy, with some guests mentioning it can be noisy but still inviting. A few critiques point to occasional inconsistencies in the bar and dessert quality, but they are outweighed by the overall positive impression. Overall El Gordo is seen as a top choice for Mexican in the area, offering fresh ingredients, generous portions, good value and a welcoming environment that makes people want to return.

Extrêmement bruyant, service correcte sans plus. Les portions sont très généreuses. Burrito aux crevettes gouteux, une salsa maison aurait été appréciée plutôt que les 2 sauce en bouteilles compressibles. Je n'arrive pas à déterminer s'il se positionne comme fast food ou pas. Je le recommanderais pour un 5à7 avec cocktails & nachos à partager en terrasse

Décevant. Nous n'avons pas vraiment été bien reçus. La table qui nous a été assigné était au milieu du passage & comme la porte était ouverte pour le service à la terrasse, c'était un courant d'air. On n'a pas voulu nous assigner un autre endroit. La serveuse était correcte. La nourriture est correcte, mais n'en demandez pas trop. On est loin de la finesse de Tamales, pour ceux qui ont connu. Pareil pour le menu: on parle beaucoup Tacos/Burritos/Enchiladas, mais ce n'est pas très varié. & trop de gras. L'ambiance est bruyante, & probablement voulue ainsi. Donc tout le monde doit parler fort. Cocktail & ambiance comme dans les 5 à 7 j'imagine. Donc les gens se reconnaitront à aimer cela. Pas moi.
