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 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.
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.
Nous y sommes allés le lendemain de l'ouverture, l'ambiance était géniale, on m'a fait un Mojito sans alcool (très bien), mon chum a bien aimé le vin rouge qu'on lui a proposé, on a bien mangé & le service était vraiment impeccable!

The food was delicious. Loved their tacos! Had an entree of calamari with an orange sauce that was super good. Drank two Jarritos (one strawberry & another mango) The waiters (shoutout to Antoine & Simon) who are super attentive & kind (even the managers who I waved & said hi to!) Overall amazing & chill vibe here! Will come back with friends & even by myself at times! 😊
Belle ambiance, serveuse attentionnée & soucieuse qu'on passe un bon moment. Nous avons pris Margarita, Bloody César & fajitas à partager, c'était très bon. Une belle découverte dans le vieux St-Lambert.
La cuisine était correcte. Les cocktails étaient décevants. Se vantent de faire de bonnes Margaritas mais je n'ai pas trouvé une seule recette de Margaritas sur Google sans Triple sec ou autre liqueur d'orange. Il y a juste El Gordo qui la fait Tequila, agave & jus de lime. Vous devriez engager un mixologue pour revoir vos drinks.
Super service, les proprios sont vraiment contents de s'installer à St Lambert! Le village avait besoin d'un endroit comme celui ci. La Terrace sera un must de l'été, Super Service & Les Margaritas are to die for! ;-)

Excellent nachos , jalapenos were fresh & spicy 🌶️. Adds some chicken fresh out the kitchen! Ordered a paloma from the bar as well, well done. Dont like the bar placement though but thats a small detail.
