“Decent tacos with fresh guacamole and amazing service! We asked for non-spicy options, and the staff kindly explained the ingredients and spice levels to make sure everything was perfect. Will definitely come back to try the churros too 😋“

“I’m disabled and found it easy to walk into the place. It wasn’t overly crowded but had enough people to make it feel very lively! I started with the tortilla soup, then had the fish tacos and to drink I tried the strawberry Jarritos and a sip of their margarita which I’d have again on a warm day ☀️ Everything was delicious, the staff was patient and courteous. I felt very comfortable and I’m already planning my next visit for the springtime!“

“Super bon restaurant pour famille couple amis ou autre. Nourriture excellent, sellers problem on availability commandé plusieurs types pour partager et ils ont amené tout en même temps et on avait pas de place sure la table. En plus les tortillas devenait trop mouillé parce-que ce nous prenait trois de temps pour les manger. En dernier la gérante est venu à notre table pour nous faire comprendre de s'en aller pour faire la place pour d'autre mais il n'y avait personne qui attendait.“

“Go there! You won’t regret it!!
Went for my birthday this weekend - absolutely amazing experience!
Not only was the food 10/10 (amazing spicy sauce maison, and best fajitas I’ve ever had), but the service, and the bartender’s spicy
Margaritas were second to none.
Loved it, my friends loved it, will 100% be back! Thanks to the team for such an amazing evening!“

“Imagine going back to your hometown after a while and going to your grandparents. That is El Amigo in a nutshell
Reservation by phone. On location, not a cat. Only us and the only staff/front of house/cook/etc. Menu: extensive. Atmosphere: drama in Spanish on the TV. Decor: inside your parents house. Not wheelchair accessible. Bring your own wine/beer. Food made on order. Came pretty quick. Good portions. Tasty. Had the restaurant for ourselves until 20:00 came. Then 11 + 2 came at once. Staff overwhelmed but did his job.
Good prices.
TL;DR: come with good company, good wine or beer, and patience and enjoy the pupusas.“

“Their food is delicious! And they have horchata which is so good. But the best part is that they have a grocery part with products that are kind of hard to find unless you live near those latino grocery stores in Montreal. Authentic and Mexican. Absolute must try!!Seriously though, the horchata is crazy delicious.“

“Très bon sans réservation, ils nous ont accueilli avec le sourire. Les fajitas poulet/crevettes délicieux, belle portion. Le riz mexicain super bon. Le tout très bien épicé sans être piquant😍 Breuvage alcoolisé beaucoup de choix, moi j’ai choisi la marguaritas réguliere en slush 😋 et la Sangria Azul 👍👍 À refaire sans hésitation car beaucoup de choix sur le menu. Bravo!“

“Tasty dishes and several products that I hadn't seen in a while. Fast service, perhaps a little too much because we don't always have time to savor and finish the starter or a dish to share before the rest arrives.Not many vegetarian options but possibility to adjust the dishes.Basically a relaxed atmosphere and we have a good time“
“I felt right at home. The food's awesome and totally worth what you pay. With a well-balanced flavor in the Pozole and Menudo, and a tasty variety of sauces to dress everything up. I totally recommend the Champurrado, with some Mexican-style bread. Great vibe and good music, plus awesome service. I hope they keep this quality up and keep getting better.“

“My Fiancé and I went to El Gordo for the first time after reading online reviews. We were pleasantly surprised and agreed with the positive feedback. We found the atmosphere to be relaxed which was what we were looking for . The Sunday special for 2 of Chicken or Tofu Fajitas was our choice for our first visit ( but definitely not our last ) & we were very happy with it. It was delicious and a generous sizzling pan with the usual accompaniments of 8 soft Tacos , Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, and Salsa . We chose a bottle of their house wine which was an Organic Bio Tempranillo from Spain. The price was very reasonable.
For dessert we had the traditional Churros and Flan and were happy with both along with an Americano/ Canadiano.
The service was exceptional, courteous, friendly , made us feel like honoured guests or family. We were especially happy with our server , Simon who is a definite asset to your Restaurant. He has the perfect personality for the service profession.
We would also like to give a shout-out to Malik. He too is great in the service profession. Personality wise, these two rate a 5/5 + 🌟⭐️
We will be returning and cannot wait for Summer Terrasse weather.
Thank you to one and all at El Gordo.
Two new fans,
Sharon & Ian Clyde“

“REAL Mexican food, delicious and authentic. When I went through the door I felt the scent of a home made meal, took me back to my childhood at grandma’s house in Michoacán. My food was cooked at the moment and it was on the table surprisingly fast. I ordered “enchiladas Rojas” and they were the real thing! I asked for some extra spicy salsa, they brought red and green salsas, not too spicy but great taste, and the salsa macha is almost better than my mom’s. I’m going back with my kids to try the carnitas 🤤“

“I recommend ordering an entree along with your main meal, I was still hungry after only ordering a main, it was delicious, I could have eaten two of them. It was a taco bowl, so good, my kid had two soft shell tacos, really delicious. I wish the music wasn't so loud, otherwise great food and a nice clean bathroom.“

“KEYLEE - probably the best server I’ve ever had. If you want someone to adapt to your personality, ask for her. If you need someone to ask how your food is every 10 minutes, or if you need someone to leave you to enjoy your cocktail for 20 minutes, she’s got you. Beautiful and elegant, 10/10. She deserves the world. The food, obviously amazing never disappoints. BUT KEYLEE - we were in a rush and she catered to our every need - came back for her x“
