I love it here! Their food tastes amazing, and their service was just above and beyond. It felt like I was eating at a family member’s house, very welcoming and I just felt so comfortable. They were very attentive and love to make their customers happy. We tried the menudo, taco de lengua, their breakfast special (a recipe they created themselves), and their chicken soup, everything was on point!! This was my first time coming, but I’m definitely making this place one of my regular spots to go to.

The owner was friendly and ask me to try the
taco de lengua de res, it was good but a little spicy for me. I give a 5 star on the taco.
Parking hard find small commercial lot with several other businesses Sharing the parking.

Restaurants El Gordo is a small hole in the wall restaurant in a small shopping center with small parking lot that's gets packed with car because others businesses in the shopping center. A friend of my recommend to try Restaurant El Gordo the food is incredible good but owners is very friendly and greet you at the door. The restaurant is small and the owner told down please order we told me we like order our food to go. One of his cooks ask us what we like to order my wife order carne asada burrito and I order the chile relleno plate.
They people in the restaurant enjoy the food at the restaurant. Our food was ready and then we left the restaurant. When we go home I open my chile relleno and took a bite the chile relleno was really with so much flavors in the chile relleno with so much cheese that makes the inside chile relleno very cheesy. The rice and bean were so good with intense flavors in both I really enjoy it and also come with corn tortillas. My wife enjoy her burrito.

Menudo was delicious. No menudo smell, like other restaurants. Service was excellent. Was given a choice on meat only, meat with bone, or meat with posole. This place is apparently open 7 days a week.

What I really liked was the service and atmosphere. He recommended the chilaquiles, they are good and homemade style. The cook made the food very efficiently without having to wait long. As I say, it is homemade style and he recommended it.There is plenty of parking too and they have security taking care of it too.
Small owned business but gives off community staple. Big hospitality vibes. Friendly atmosphere. Food looks delicious. You can dine in or get it to go.

Menudo good as ever but I order the chilaquiles with carne asada. It was awful. My chips so soggy, the carne asada was very salty.
