Gordo's Tamales offers generous and flavorful tamales, including the massive tamales oaxaqueños. The tortas are also larger than usual. The restaurant is known for its friendly and family-oriented atmosphere, where customers are treated with hospitality and excellent customer service. Many visitors praise the authentic Mexican flavor of the tamales, tacos, champurrados, and atoles, which have been enjoyed for over 5+ years. The environment is clean, and the staff makes guests feel welcome from the moment they walk in. While the atole has good flavor, some customers find the cheese and spiciness of certain dishes to be overpowering. One disappointment was the Café de roca (cinnamon coffee), which some felt tasted burnt and did not meet expectations. Overall, the restaurant receives high praise for its delicious food, satisfying portions, and friendly service.
