Petty big menu. I wanted to try a burrito but I ended up trying a burger (Del Gordo, $13) and birria ramen ($9).

The meat in the ramen was good. The broth is a little spicy. The flavor was pretty strong. Overall, I thought it was okay.

The burgers are unique. As a burger it was okay. The cubana burger my friend had looked good. I probably would have liked it more than mine. Decent size.

We stopped on an impulse for lunch today. We got SO much food and the prices were really reasonable. The ordering kiosk was a breeze to navigate.

The food was freaking fantastic. We got a hamburger, the elote dog, fries, and cheese. I’m pretty damn sure the fries are hand cut too. Defiantly stop and give it a try.

I’m honestly confused and disappointed. They advertise a “combo” that clearly shows a burger + fries + drink. However, when I paid, they charged me separately for the drink again.

When I went to the register to ask about it, they told me they call it a “combo,” but they charge everything separately. That makes no sense. A combo should include all the items listed for one price.

I am attaching proof of what I’m mentioning so you can clearly see how it is being advertised versus how it is charged.

This feels misleading and not transparent. Please be clear about your pricing so customers know what they’re actually paying for.

The burgers are good but the fries are the most nasty fries that I’ve ever had in a restaurant it is like the 3rd time that they gave me fries like these. Those greasy and nasty fries that I couldn’t even eat.

Whenever you’re in south Minneapolis, this place is 100% a must try spot. My first time here, and was a pleasant experience.

The hot dog Was very similar to Sonoran style hot dogs that I used to get Weekly in Tucson, Arizona. Their El Gordo Burger combo took the experience up another 10 levels. Homemade fries were hot and crispy, canned soda, cold, and refreshing.

I was completely blown away that I’ve driven by this place so many times but always missed the opportunity when I was hungry. Today’s experience was a pilgrimage if you will towards a better burger experience in the Minneapolis St. Paul area.

I really appreciated the kind and friendly service as well. The staff are really kind people, doing honest work. Give them a shot and let me know your thoughts.

Plenty of seating. The employees didn’t understand english incredibly well, but absolutely enough to take orders, and they were very kind and helpful. The food was delicious and so worthwhile. We got combos. The fries are not exciting, but they’re fries (and plenty.) And the chicken burger is grilled chicken, which it doesn’t say on the menu. If you don’t know spanish, the menu is not very descriptive. I’m really glad I tried this place out, and will be returning.

I ordered #7 Del Gordo + Dogo Norteno combo to eat with my boyfriend and the food was fantastic. We are in the midst of moving and were looking for a filling meal and this was perfect. Mexican style hamburgers and hot dogs are way better in my opinion because of the added toppings (guacamole, peppers)!! My boyfriend tried the tacos and said it was authentic. Love this place and will always come back.

Came here looking for a solid burger and was NOT disappointed. Got the #1 combo. Burger was awesome. So juicy and flavorful. The fries are what fries SHOULD be. This will probably be normal spot for us when we visit in the future.

Today is National Hamburger Day. I didn’t want to deal with getting a burger at a bar for dinner, and I hadn’t been to El Gordo in like 8+ years (or however long it’s been since they first opened). Figured I’d give El Gordo a second shot.

Per my receipt, my order was placed at 6:39pm. Ordered the double burger combo, $21.45 after tax with fries and a pop. The guy working the counter (owner?) said it’d be 20-25 minutes for the food, and there was a 7 top waiting for their food still ahead of me. Only one other guy waiting for food when I walked in. OK, no biggie.

My food ended up coming out over 40 minutes later. The fries were definitely hand cut and looked amazing, but were luke warm at best, limp, and had zero seasoning on them. The napkin caddy at the table had salt, but no pepper. OK, rough start. Hopefully the burger was better?

The burger *looked* great. Unfortunately the bun was rock hard and was dry. The only extra food lube available besides the condiments on the bun were a handful of ketchup packets, and those weren’t enough to combat the dryness. The burger toppings were good at least, but the burger patties themselves were underwhelming.

Maybe they just had a bad night, but I was pretty disappointed in my experience. I doubt I’ll be back anytime soon…and that kills me because I grew up in the neighborhood and always try to support local.

Within a mile or so there are multiple other options for solid burgers (Buster’s on 28th, Carbone’s, Cedar Inn, etc.). Next time I have a hankering for a burger I’ll go to one of those tried and true spots instead.
