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 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.

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!

Le drink que j'aie choisis était pas buvable & je trouve exagérer de payé 17$ pour un entré de calmar.

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.
