C'était un peu le chaos à notre arrivée, mais une fois à la table le service s'est bien déroulé. La nourriture était super bonne & l'ambiance festive. La musique un peu trop forte, mais très enivrante. C'est notre premier resto mexican dans notre nouvelle région & nous avons été très satisfaites !

We spent Cinco de Mayo at El Gordo, & once again, it didn't disappoint! We were greeted by name by the owner, which added such a personal touch to the festive ambiance. The margaritas are decadent, my husband swapped tequila for mezcal, & the owner even brought the bottle over to chat with us about it. Beyond the great food, El Gordo has truly brightened the Village of Saint-Lambert. From the toys & scooters they provide for kids in the park out front to their kindness in offering free coffee & workspace during power outages, they are so much more than a restaurant. El Gordo is easily one of the best additions to Saint-Lambert, they are a pillar of our community!
