Tacos y Huaraches El Gordo

I went to this restaurant to buy something small and quick on the way to go study at a friend's house. I ordered a kids meal with a bean and cheese burrito, fries, and a churro. When I opened my container, the burrito was the size of my hand! lolThis meal ended up being two meals for me as it was just that big.The location is a little weird since it's attached to the side of a gas station, but the service was good and the restaurant is super clean. I loved the wall art as well.I'll definitely be coming back!

Came here for dinner because place I intended to go was closed on Sunday.. This spot has been through many different restaurants places and I've been to them all which is kind of funny to me. I did like the menu and that it had different types of dishes, not a typical "filerberto" style Mexican fast food. Ordered menudo of course but then I saw the toritos... Last time I had some was at B. K. in Tucson. Only thing I was not happy with was the price. 4 little snack for almost 10 bux.. I opted for 2 pepper and 2 shrimp. Also ordered birria flautas. Toritos were yummy, stuffed cheese inside pepper wrapped in bacon and deep fried... Yummy. Chipotle dipping sauce was not bad. Shrimp wrapped in bacon deep fried also pretty good. Was it worth almost 10 bux? No. Menudo was pretty good. Wish it was little bit more hotter in temperature. But the price was pretty reasonable. Birria flautas was pretty good also. Flauta size is very generous, stuffed with meat. Birria broth in other bad was little bit on the weak side. Almost like just broth and they added some seasoning after. Was it bad? No but it wasn't amazing.Over all service was good, food was pretty good. If I could I would give it 3.5 stars but I can't.. So I leaned more toward 4 instead of 3. I would definitely come back here and try some other dishes.

I got the chili relleno plate and it was good, sadly it was pretty average. I had high expectations, so maybe the fact that it wasn't spectacular detracted from my opinion. The portions were very fair and I do not have a complaint about the food, other than the fact that it was just not as good as I expected to be from all the other reviews.One of my favorite things about getting Mexican food from places like this is that usually the beans are just delicious. This time I couldn't really tell if they make them there or if they were canned. Like I said, though, it was not bad and I am willing to give them another try

I love picking up food from this Taco spot. I have kept coming back after trying the Sargent Burrito which was delicious carne asada with a chile relleno married together into a burrito. It was the best. My favorite is just the Chile Relleno burrito! Today I decided I would give them a shout out after ordering the Carne Asada Super Nachos, the were loaded with flavorful carne asada and fresh ingredients. Nachos were not soggy at all. Service was when ordering over the phone has been great always gets our order right. Thank you for making some great food!

I wanted to try some more quesabirrias, so I came here. The place is a little on the pricier side with no options. For instance I wanted just the quesabirrias and the guy said it's the same price with or without the drink, same for the ramen birria. So I was charged for a drink regardless if I wanted it or not :/ I also ordered Horchata, which was really good! I loved it! The quesabirrias weren't crunchy at all, they were quite soft and soggy, the broth though was really good! The ramen birria.. I had no idea it was spicy and I went and put a bunch in my mouth and instantly regretted it. I've never had it before and there was no warning lol. I won't be having it again. The place was "OK". I also seen a couple in front of me order a burrito and when she was done customizing it, the guy said the burrito alone was $26... wow, no thank you. There's a lot on their menu so I might try it again, if everything else is closed.

The best breakfast burritos in the area! I came early to pick up a carne asada burrito. Wow! The meat was super tender and not tough at all. Great portions and balance of the potatoes and eggs. The staff were great! My order came out within 5 minutes. The tables were clean. Next time I would like to try the lunch menu sometime. I'll be back!

UPDATE: as of 2/24/2024 I changed my stars to 5 because their food is always excellent and large portions for the price! They have great deals daily, including the $5 breakfast burritos everyday before 10am This place has become a new weekly favorite for me and my family! The last 2 times I called, the phones were answered so hopefully that's a positive change I can continue to look forward to. I'm going to give this place a 3 stars. Their food is good, but their service is just ok. I have tried to call several times in the last month and I'm NEVER able to get thru. Upon arriving today, I asked if they accept calls and they said yes, but not when they're busy. I walked in 3 mins after I called and they claimed it was PACKED inside. There's 3 people in here total, 2 eating. They're not busy. Don't even bother to call cause they won't answer

Just found this place and so happyWe did! We had the pizza birria and it was delicious. Kids meals get a churro included and it did not disappoint! My husband and I are Mexican and we approve

El Gordo Tacos y Huaraches has the most delicious Quesabirrias. I have had Quesabirrias from other restaurants and I have not found any place that compares. This plate of 4 Quesabirrias cost $14.95. The Quesabirrias here are so good that my wife and I get cravings for them. My wife is from Mexico and she loves them too.

One the best tacos we've ever had. My bf is Hispanic and said this is easily one of the top 3 places in Mesa!
