Stop by real quick with a buddy. It was kinda late so didn't think the kitchen was still open but it was. Asked the waitress 2 shrimp tacos and a fish taco. Had 2 beers and didn't think the tacos were gonna be as good as they were the shrimp tacos were 4 dollars and the fish was 3. Let me tell you I was wrong the presentation was great for the tacos.l and the tacos were phenomenal.Shrimp taco 8 out 10 goodFiah taco 8 outa 10 good For the 12 dollars I dropped it was great. I would come back again and try the other onesSorry ate tacos so fast didn't take a picture

My personal experience here: Quick and friendly service, great and authentic Mexican seafood (cocktails) and fair prices. I'll definitely be coming back soon.

Food was ok. Nothing particularly amazing, especially for the price. I had the shrimp boil with sausage, corn, and two small potato's. I asked for spicy and my sis for extra spicy. Our waitress mixed our orders. Nephew had pasta and it was tasty. Found the cocktails pricey for a restaurant bar which they took long to make. Service was extra poor. Our waitress did the minimum (probably because we had a party of 6 and tip was included). Never came to check on us and we had to consistently call her over - for water, drinks, utensils, etc. She seemed annoyed and hardly exchanged words in any of the interactions. It wasn't busy either. The only time she asked if we needed anything else was 5 mins before we were done. The ambiance was ok. One big TV streaming college football in the main area.

El Gordo Seafood in Bishop Arts District is a little-known secret that you're sure to enjoy when you visit! The authenticity and the atmosphere of this business is will take you away on a beach vacation without a care in the world! I strongly advise that you ask Jose (one of the most humble and kind restaurant owners in all of DFW) for his signature special, the "Jose's Way!" (*limited to 2 per day*). Sure to be the next go-to sidewalk bar counter drink in the area - easy to walk up and grab a drink and deliciously authentic Mexican seafood. One or two of these drinks will set you off on an adventure, you've been warned! Araceli was our server and did an absolutely incredible job making us feel welcome from the first step we took through the door. Give them a visit one evening and enjoy the experience.

Excellent bar program. Cocktails were balanced and served in neat glasses and terra cotta pottery. Definitely order the aguachile. Each batch is made to order and the flavor is incredible: fresh cucumbers, lime, jalapeño, cilantro, is your mouth watering yet? Half the table ordered without shrimp and was not disappointed. This dish is one of El Godro's star recipes. The boils were great. The Cajun pasta was amazing. Portions are huge. Ambience indoors is good. The restaurant was very clean, overall the experience was very good. Service could have been a little more friendly but the staff was very good. When it is not 110* F we will sit on the patio, they have a great outdoor seating area that looks perfect for people watching and late night drinks. We came two precious times but decided to keep walking - sometimes they have a DJ outside that makes conversation impossible. We will definitely be back, the food was excellent!

Tasty tasty tasty! I ordered the seafood pasta and it was delicious! Creamy sauce and freshly made! He ordered Fajitas Molcajete, which are sizzling fajitas with all the meats! The carne was a little over done, but everything else was very good. Vampiro couldn't make up its mind if it wanted to be sour or salty. Paloma a was a better choice drink wise. Come check them out!

Ordered calamari they looked like crumbs and were hard as a rock. Ordered house margarita tasted nothing but pineapple juice. Not worth it.
