I don’t know what happened to Tacos El Gordo in Gaslamp, but this was easily one of the worst taco experiences I’ve had in San Diego.
A group of us went last night after an event, and the place was straight up dirty. The smell hit you the second you walked in — not the good “street taco” smell, but something off and unpleasant.
Now the food… honestly, a -1 if that were possible. The adobada had zero flavor — just this weird red paste that tasted nothing...read full review

Tacos El Gordo is a popular taco restaurant in San Diego, known for its fresh meat, fast service, and lively atmosphere. Despite the long lines, the security guards are helpful in directing customers to the respective meat lines. The adobada is a must-try, and customers recommend adding extra onions and cilantro. The tacos are fresh and stuffed, with the al pastor receiving special praise. Customers also enjoy the fries and horchata, all praised for their deliciousness. While lines are virtually guaranteed, some customers note that the organization could be improved. There is an upstairs seating area, but it may not be very clean. With a decent seating area both inside and outside, Tacos El Gordo is a perfect spot for a quick and satisfying taco fix. Visitors are encouraged to come hungry and try a variety of tacos, as they are true street tacos that may require ordering 2-3 for a fulfilling meal.
