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!
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.
A beautiful experience indeed! We were a party of five.Paola took very good care os us. Food was delivered on time. The Margarita drink very tasty & so all the drinks even the mocktails...it has been an enjoyable evening. We will return for sure. Highly recommended.
Première visite & tout était à mon goût. Excellente nourriture, très bon service. J'ai adoré la musique & l'ambiance aussi. Je n'ai aucune problème . 5/5
Bouffe maison très bonne & bon service. Suggestion, baisser un peu la musique quand il y a plus de monde. A part cela, c'est une belle place, j'y retournerai

La nourriture était excellente vraiment proche d'être traditionnelle. Le bol au poulet grillé était parfaitement assaisonné & frais. Le service était rapide & sympathique! Je recommande fortement pour une soirée entre amie ou amoureux l'ambiance est vraiment parfaite pour n'importe laquelle occasion. Aussi le prix est vraiment raisonnable pour le service & la qualité des aliments. Je recommande fortement à aller essayer!
Thoroughly enjoyed the tacos, tequila cocktails & salsa on the table. Coleslaw was unfortunately bland yet bitter. Biggest complaint was that the staff.& owner allowed a drunken patron to chainsmoke on the patio with several kids around. Awful end to an otherwise great evening.

Super bon cocktail. On goûte l'alcool. Super guacamole chips maison . Fajitas au poulet , servi avec riz & légumes . Bien épicé . Que dire de la salsa verde ❤️.Execellet service de la part de Frank. À deux pas de la maison C'est parfait !
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
Food is delicious & well presented. Mexican cuisine with its own more elaborate personality than the presentations we usually get elsewhere. Drinks look & taste delicious. The Churros are awesome. Great outdoor terrace. Nice & efficient staff.

Après 2 visites (souper & brunch), impossible de ne pas laisser d'avis. Les brunchs sont tellement bons!!! Super goûteux & les portions sont parfaites. Au souper, l'ambiance est festive & hyper décontractée, ça donne envie de revenir pour prendre un shot avec les proprio ou pour siroter un excellent cocktail (margarita vaut le détour) Spot incroyable à St-Lambert, on va définitivement y devenir des réguliers!
