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.

We had a great experience at El Gordo. The only thing that was better than the atmosphere was the amazing service. Our server was actually that night's manager. He was very pleasant & really knew his stuff. The owner stopped by a couple to check on us too. It was a great evening. I recommend El Gordo if you want a great experience.

Belle ambiance & très bon service ! Je mets seulement 3 étoiles car je trouve que la carte est un peu chère. Minimum 15$ (hors taxes & pourboire) c'est trop cher pour 2 tacos ... D'autres établissements bien connus du centre ville en proposent 3 pour le même prix, voir 1 $ de -. A titre indicatif nous avons payé 66$ pour 2 (2 bières & 2 plats de tacos).

Excellent service au El Gordo de Saint-Lambert. Nous sommes très heureux que les meilleurs tacos de Montréal soient maintenant sur notre belle rive. Le paloma & les tacos portobello: MIAM! 🍹

Belle ambiance, service attentionné. La portion de poulet dans les fajitas au poulet à partager était cependant minuscule, quasi inexistante. Les bols, tacos & churros étaient bons, sans être exceptionnels.
