El Gordo Mexican Food is a restaurant that offers a wide variety of Mexican dishes, with generous portions and affordable prices. The salsa bar is a highlight, featuring around 7 different salsas ranging from mild to very spicy, including the jalapeno avocado green salsa and roasted chili oil salsas. The restaurant stands out with its homemade-tasting food, made with handmade tortillas.
It is a family-friendly establishment, with a relaxed atmosphere and options for kids, including a kid menu. The parking lot can be smaller, but there is additional parking behind the building. The service is quick, and the staff is friendly, especially to what seem to be regular customers. The place is fun, welcoming, and bright, with a colorful, clean space and a cute outdoor patio.
The menu has various options, such as rolled tacos, carnitas burrito, and surf & turf burrito. The hot Cheetos burrito is a unique offering, and it can be customized by swapping fries for rice and adding extra chipotle sauce. The rolled tacos are crispy with flavorful meat, and the guacamole has a nice consistency.
Overall, the restaurant is a great addition to the area, offering authentic and delicious Mexican food in a kid-friendly environment.
