Tacos El Gordo is the most authentic taco experience I have ever had! Everything is prepared fresh in front of you. The prices are decent and everybody is helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

As always really good! I haven't eaten here in a while so the fries were new to me! Can get any meat on them! Reall

This place is really good. The tacos adobados are the best. If you're ever in San Diego area you should come to Tacos El Gordo.

Amazing experience and wonderful food! Everything was delicious and the style of serving was very unique. We enjoyed our time there and liked the food. The tacos were all great and their pork tacos are the best. Their fries is also amazing. They have drive true and also outside seating available. Definitely a must!

Love the tacos. Honestly for some reason ones on H are better but these will do

Love this place! I've had al pastor tacos in a few places around california and nevada, as well as Mexico, and I can say that racos el gordo has the best pastor tacos this side of the border. I've been to a few of thier locations. Love them. Try this place out but be aware of the lines, that's the first sign that this place is bomb!

Service sucked because I was waiting 30 min for food. Food was excellent and was authentic Mexican. Seats were small and we're smaller because of the covid Plexi dividers.

excellent food but not cheap, always wanted to try it, been there done that, not sure I'd go back becouse of the price.

Why have I been paying 13 bucks for carne asada fries?!! I had no idea that El Gordo was on fire. My first time eating here and unlikely my last. Whatever part of a cow can be eaten, it is prepared here, including the brain. I'm not a zombie so I don't eat brains. If the restaurant feels familiar, it used to be an old school taco bell.I ordered the small carne asada fries, small adobada fries and two carne asada tacos. The fixins are fresh and plentiful. The fries were preseasoned, maybe the oil, and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. There was a delicious guacamole and sour cream mix like the consistency of pudding. Every single bite is a balance of fries and fixins, unlike other carne asada fries. Either it's too much of this and not enough of that.Oh my stars, so tasteful. With additional ample toppings of cheese and pico de gallo. Get this! I could never eat an order of carne asada fries on my own at taco shops, always a waste and reheated is not so delightful. I can dig it that three sizes are offered based on your hunger or greed-small, medium, and large.I went at 1130 and no line. But between 1215-115 the place was packed. It can be confusing to know which line to stand in. You place your order then stand in a different line to pay for the order. It's 2021 Gordo- get efficient.Even though there are a few tables indoor, with the crowd and the line, folk may be too close for comfort while the eating. However, there is a nice outdoor and covered patio that awaits you. Each taco is about $3.00. A small care asada fries was $4.58. I forgot my water and purchased a Jamaica which was quite bitter.In all honesty, the carne asada was tough and chewy. The pieces that were not, were well seasoned and tender. Adobada fries-very good. Carne asada tacos would have been scrumptious if not so chewy. Maybe just this batch.Essentially because of the other accolades, this means there is potential to rectify the tough meat error on another lunch attempt. No vegan options. Vegetarian quesadilla is offered. Wheelchair accessible. Parking can be a hot mess. I work nearby so I walked. Located on a busy traveling street.

tacos good..staff isnt the friendliest. also, got questioned about whther i paid for food because i had to go back around through front to find a seat. Also, lost item there and the staff looked hella suspicious but i aint got no proof they did anything so take that information as u will. oh and covid precautions not enforced.
