My new favorite in Huntsville. I get the Choriso, Egg & cheese breakfast tacos in the morning. Then I go back and get the El Gordo Chicken Burrito at lunch. The best green salsa ever. To kick it up a notch the red salsa is also excellent. Chips are thin and fresh. Service is the friendliest in town for Mexican food. I also love the bright and sunny decor. There are a whole lot of regulars that go there.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After an intense training session, I needed a place that felt warm, welcoming, and full of character — and El Gordo Taqueria hit the mark perfectly! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by friendly owners and a lively, colorful atmosphere that immediately lifted my spirits. The decor is simply fantastic — the walls are adorned with hilarious and charming art, especially that big, bold “El Gordo Taquero” mural that just makes you smile. The cozy seating areas, with their bright colors and cheerful vibe, make you feel right at home. I loved how the place has a playful yet inviting ambiance, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good food. The food itself was delicious — I had a huge, tasty burrito that was the perfect comfort after a tough day. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure I had everything I needed. Plus, the overall vibe of the place, with its fun art and welcoming atmosphere, made my visit truly memorable. If you're in Huntsville and craving authentic Mexican flavors with a side of humor and heart, El Gordo Taqueria is the spot to visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and good vibes!

The beef fajitas are good even though the portions are small. The only problem I have are with the charro beans. They are the worst charro beans in Huntsville. The only flavor they have are hot 🔥. The consistency looks just like chili beans. Other than that, the food is good.

Food was great . My only complaint is the waitress did not speak any English but acted as she did . So I ended up getting 2 plates instead of 1 when I changed my mind and wanted something else . She didn’t get it . I ended up with the street tacos and the Birria . I recommend getting the cheese birria . The plane needed some salt . The place was clean however I didn’t go to the bathroom . Food was top notch . The caldo was also yummy .

I love their enchiladas and burrito. Their chips are crispy with hot salsa! Yummy place to eat on a budget and be full when you leave.

Great Tex Mex eatery. Food, service and pricing are all great. One of the few places that still use real cheese instead of processed American “cheese”.

Place was great. I walked in with an order of about 20 tacos and we bought their tres leches cake too. They had us out in 15 minutes with everything we could want and even stuff we didn't know we wanted. Great job, Great service, and the food was hot and fresh. Breakfast has not disappointed in the 4 times I've been. Happy birthday to my wife abby, made better by this place!
