Taqueria El Gordo

Good burrito spot, I usely order the chicken or steak. When ordering online I ask for green salsa on the side. They Never add to the bag, you have to ask and they only want to give you one..

I'm here again to update my review from 2022... as I decided to give this place to try again. We visited around 7 pm, and the parking was full(a per usual do to the gym). Nonetheless, we found a parking spot pretty quickly. When we walked in, the store was empty. We walked up to the register, and we were not sure what we wanted yet. It was my dad's first time, my second. So we stood aside to let others couple who walked in to order. They weren't sure either. So we stood there reading the menu. The person ringing up orders seemed annoyed and walked away.After a few minutes, we were ready to order, and we stepped up and waited. Another lady walked up, I smiled and ordered. She seemed annoyed. I tried to order a "Chili Relleno,".Needless to say. She corrected them by emphasizing the "R" in a long draw and rolled her eyes. Her attitude is surprisingly rude, as I've ordered Chile Relleno from many places this year. Never been corrected, and I get it, I can't roll my "R", many can't! I then ordered Tacos, Buche, cabeza, and carne asada. No corrections for my other pronunciation. The roadside taco stands in Mexico, which is nicer than this place! So, we sat down with our number. I asked for water, and they used to have a vending machine with water. Now they don't, which is okay. The lady got me a small water cup. So, just know you gotta ask a lot for a small cup of water.What we ordered and how we liked it:[Chips and salsa]These were complimentary. They were good, chips were typical store bought corn tortilla chips. The salsa had good flavoring. Not the best chips and salsa I've handed, but good. 8/10[Tacos]These came out quickly(10 minutes max). They are $3.85 each, even though their sign says $3.50.- Carne asada: Dry and lack the proper. They gave me on dry wedge of lime for three tacos... amount of salsa. Was very disappointed in this. I always get a Carne asada at every place...- Cabeza: One of my flavor but poorly seasoned here. - Buche: Okay, finally! This one was on point. After I went and asked for lime once and was forgotten about. THEN walked up to the counter to ask for some lime, the lady didn't know what lime was. One of them corrected me with "limon," and they all joked and laughed about how I called it the wrong word. Which I unfortunately understood... after taking two semesters of Spanish with a very passionate teacher, my partner of 5 years was primarily Spanish speaking and spending much time with his family in Guadalajara. Definitely put a bad taste in my mouth. Ling story short. Squeeze two wedges of "limon" on this, and it's really good.[Chili relleno]My dad liked it, so I can't say much on it.[Bottled Mexican cook]Is $4.75. Which is crazy. Would recommend going to Pak n' save and getting one there instead.Their restroom works.Otherwise, yeah. This place is the place of bad attitudes and being made fun of because they don't think you understand or speak Spanish. There are so many other amazing places in this town or close by. Those are probably better.

Always good never disappointed. Tripas and buche tacos are my go to. Clean and good customer service.

Got a birria quesadilla with Consommé to go. The meat was very tender and flavorful. The green salad that came with was very good. You also get a good amount of meat. Took them a little long to make though.

We ordered a asada burrito to share and got it cut in half. I took a bite and it was caritas instead of asada. I asked them to change it and made me feel as if I made the mistake. They do not have any salsas out or chips for people who done in. Also the asada burrito was made poorly and hardly any meat. I had to open it to find to find.

Solid tacos. I usually frequent their outdoor location on Hesperian. When we went to that one on a particularly windy and cold evening, we quickly changed plans and headed here to be inside and warm.The restaurant is pretty spacious with lots of seating inside. I've passed by many times, but this is the first time I was dining in. I don't think I've ever seen it be too crowded though.They've got a bigger menu at this location than they do at their Hesperian one. They offer a lot more plates and desserts. Similar to the other location though, you order at the register and find your seat. They bring the food to you and we didn't have to wait that long for our taco orders. Ambiance wise, it's nothing fancy. The salsa bar wasn't available when we went. Everything looked pretty clean though. The tacos were pretty good and filling. I went for the grilled chicken as I normally do and it was very flavorful. Beware that the food is pretty greasy though (even the quesadilla my friend got) so I wouldn't recommend going here if you're trying to be healthy. But delicious food for sure!

Delicious food and they delivered promptly. I was traveling and didn't know the area. So I ordered online and was not disappointed

Best wet burritos here with yummy sauces and fresh orange juice. Very yummy mexican food.
