About TACOS EL GORDO

Tacos El Gordo is a must-visit destination for authentic Mexican street tacos. The menu offers a range of flavorful options, from succulent carne asada to rich and savory adobada, all made to order for maximum freshness. Customers praise the adobada tacos and quesadillas as delicious. The taco shop consistently delivers delicious Mexican food, offering a variety of beef and pork tacos, as well as creative taco-based snacks. Mulas are made with a thick taco shell topped with melted cheese, a generous serving of grilled pork adobada, and a creamy sour sauce, then layered with another taco shell covered in melted cheese. Vampiros use two crispy taco shells sandwiching similar ingredients. Another standout is their flavorful grilled pork fries. For first-time visitors, asada tacos are recommended, featuring chargrilled steak with a smoky flavor and creamy guacamole. Cabeza pairs beautifully with a refreshing cilantro sauce, while tripa is complemented by a tangy and spicy sauce. Pork adobada is often served with a creamy sour sauce. Each meat option has a distinct flavor profile. The menu varies by kitchen window, so check the signs for available meats. They also offer free grilled onions and Mexican peppers upon request. All tacos come with cilantro and onion by default. Despite often being busy, the lively atmosphere and quick service ensure a pleasant dining experience. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food. Even after a long drive, the tacos remain perfectly hot and delicious, making Tacos El Gordo a top choice for those craving genuine Mexican cuisine. Some customers noted that extra meat on Carne Asada Fries was a small portion.
