watery tabasco sauce and most of the experience was cafe-style/self-serve, which would have been fine if I didn’t need to ask the staff to restock said self-serve items. Corn tortillas were stale and rubbery, toppings were a chaotic sprawl of mostly cilantro. We’re all for supporting local eateries but some spots need to tighten up their game and taco gordo fits that bill (which ours was too high for counter service.) If you want authentic and flavorful tacos, try El Cortijo or Casa Grande. For a head scratching dining experience with decent guacamole and a convenient location, taco gordo will suffice.
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.
I went with a variety – one chicken, one asada and one carnitas. With it, a local beer that was served cold and went well. Served street taco style – double tortillas and topped with cilantro and onions, the carnitas was good and the chicken was good but the carne asada was fabulous. The beef was tender and flavorful and there was plenty of it.
Friendly service and an industrial feel with tables and chairs that don’t match. And that’s okay because it’s all about the food at Taco Gordo.
