Fattest birria tacos I’ve ever seen - worth the price IMO. Also super tasty, and loved the cocktails music and ambiance. Recommend the esquites, birria, and salsas.

Hands down the best Pozole I’ve ever had and I’ve had them all over Mexico. Hearty portion in a rich pork broth with tortillas on the side. If it’s on the specials menu do not hesitate to order it. Margaritas are also perfect plus the staff and vibes are on point.

Gordo's Cantina is my favorite Mexican restaurant up north, no contest, not even close. I After moving back from Texas (where I lived for five years), I tried many Mexican places in the NJ/NYC area, and nothing hit like Gordo’s. The food is consistently delicious, drinks are perfect (I really missed prickly pear margaritas, and their's is fantastic), and everything is a great price, especially for the quality!
I highly recommend any appetizer, the Arrachera Asada quesadillas are to die for, so we're the chicken enchiladas i got on the seasonal menu. Every time I go I try something new and can confidently say that you really can't go wrong.
The staff is always lovely, and the whole atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They’ve earned a forever customer. I’ll keep coming back as long as I’m here!

Maybe some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in the entire north eastern United States. Extremely friendly staff and not a single bad item on the menu.

Ordered here only to wait an hour and for my entire order to be incorrect. Did not receive my vegetable tamales (the main reason i placed this order) received 3 funky greasy smelly kale tacos that were squished and cold. The fish tacos were bland, greasy and squished as well. See pictures I attached. The icing on the cake is no one at this establishment apparently answers the phone.(odd for a place that sells food?) After 5 calls I decided to go through grubhub for my refund instead of trying to give them the chance to remedy this like I initially was.
Taco and margarita knockout punch to the jugular (i love it)

The food was great, chips and salsa variety were a nice touch (loved the garlic salsa the most). Their Michelada was exquisite and extremely flavorful. The tacos and pulled pork tacos hit the spot. Service was good too — would totally come back.

If I could write my own definition of the word average I would be Gordo‘s Cantina as the definition. The food was average, bland and $ for what you get, the $20 guacamole is not worth it.
Do not go to this place if you are looking for good food. The food trucks outside are way better more authentic and won’t let you down.
Drinks are good.

I’ve been a fan of gordos for about two years and it was one of my happy spots. Unfortunately the service and food has declined. Food came out super fast and was definitely rushed because It was not super delicious as how I’d remembered. The guac was bland, the carnitas tacos were chewy. And not a lime in sight. If the prices were food truck prices, it’d be reasonable, but for a 100$ lunch for two? Not worth it at all. Very sad on the decline of this establishment, especially considering its consistent Michelin ratings. Margaritas are good though

Wonderful meal. The shrimp tacos were very tasty and the Mescaritas were way too drinkable.
overpriced 😔
