The best tacos hands down! Visited in Chula Vista, CA! 🤤
We’ve been to their Vegas locations many, many, times, and this spot brings the same quality as there. It’s great food, quick service, and good selection. We love the Mulas, and the standard tacos are great too. Make sure you grab some seating upstairs, it often gets overlooked!
The cooks make like 20 tacos and quesadillas per second. It’s like a taco factory where you can see the production line. They cook everything in mass and throw everything in a piece of tortilla. It’s the definition of street food. The quesadilla was better than the tacos. They were tasty but a little messy.The whole process of ordering and eating is a chaos especially on a Saturday night. But it’ll do the job and is worth trying.

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.
