Good tacos in Burlington. Not tiny little trendy tacos. No place to park as most areas around but off you can find a spot or walk and take out it’s worth it.

Al pastor taco and beef tostada were both good/tasty but not filling. $5 for a gchips and a tiny cup of Tabasco sauce felt like a rip off. Limited drink menu. Staff was attentive and place has a nice atmosphere, albeit loud. I don’t get the hype.

This is the best place to get tacos in all of Vermont. I’m from California - I approve. Tacos are better than the burritos. Salads are amazing. Staff is stellar.

Yesterday was our second time at Taco Gordo, and once again, the tacos were so good! The margaritas were delicious too. We arrived pretty late, close to closing time, but the staff were all so friendly and welcoming, we never felt rushed
We were visiting from California. My husband got Carne Asada taco with beans & rice and I got the Tinga with side of rice. I also got a margarita. We found the food just so so. I think we were hoping for more authentic freshly grilled but it wasn't. We both found the rice pretty dry. They do have a good selection of hot sauce. We suggest adding pico de gallo. We did have to wait at least an hour to get on on a Fri night. The atmosphere is busy and bar like. You can tell this is a go to place for college age adults given the area. It would be nice if they had those outdoor heaters on cold nights for those having to wait outside for a table to come available as there really is no space to wait inside. We ate at the bar because after waiting so long, we just wanted to eat. The margarita was $10 and tasty.

No question the best tacos you'll find in VT, maybe the region. One of my favorite places.

Classic bar vibes. Very decent food for a bar. Al pastor tacos sell out! Sweet outdoor tables in warmer weather.

My hopes were very high for this place and unfortunately it did not live up to the hype (in my opinion). I had a shrimp taco special as well as a chicken taco. They got my order wrong and gave me 1 shrimp and 1 sweet potato. That was fine, but the chicken taco they replaced it with had clearly been rushed and the tortilla was soggy. The shrimp taco was delicious though and definitely made up for the chicken taco. What frustrated me was the price of the guacamole. 5.50, which is expensive, but understandable because avocados are expensive, but the chips were also 5$, so 10.50 for some chips and guac! And it was only listed as 5.50 on the menu. I was clearly wrong to assume that the chips were included, maybe would just be good to clarify. Service was good everyone was very nice, though the workers seemed very stressed. The vibe inside was ok- cute aesthetic but just very chaotic. Overall, nothing was bad, but nothing was amazing.
