“ This is a place that my close friends from Mexico brought me to well over a decade ago. I've been to it many times since then and even go by myself to just grab a true Mexican food. The servers are super nice and smile and will be silly with you. Even though each time I've been in there, I am always the only American among total Mexican people and others from other countries, yet they treat me so nice and never treat me like I'm not supposed to be in there since I'm not Mexican. They are great and the food is great too. ”
“ Multi-level grocery store with bakery, meat counter, and eatery. What more could you ask for? The produce looked fresh and was priced reasonably. The grocery portion of the establishment is small but packs quite the punch in variety of items - frozen plantains and yucca - plenty of tropical fruit nectars - Mexican cheeses - and more. The bakery had wonderful smelling conchas, turnovers, donuts, and more as well as a cake case full of beautifully decorated party cakes. Nothing labeled. I assumed it was all tres leches. It just entices you to interact with the baker in my opinion. They also sell cakes by the slice. The heart of Gordos is their taco counter. A cafeteria-style buffet of all the meat fillings as well as a self-serve buffet of condiments and fixins for your tacos. I ordered a LENGUA and an AL PASTOR. It was not anything to write home about, but I'd love to try the other options. The salsa and fixins bar alone is worth going back for - fresh cilantro - radishes - roasted whole Serranos - diced raw onions. Definitely excited to try a torta and more tacos of course!! ”
“ BY FAR some of the best mexican I have had. I had the milanesa torta and the torta pastor. The toppings bar is top notch and they were very encouraging even though I speak very little Spanish. Will be coming back! ”
“ Great food and service. This is authentic as it gets. Looks can be deceiving from the parking lot but this is a new regular. Lots of items to choose from. Fresh meats and a bakery upstairs. I recommend to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food. ”
“ What a nice little hole in the wall! There was literally a line out the door when he first got there with so many locals. The restaurant portion is very small so there's not many seating options inside but they also have tables outside available too. After placing our order, we received our food in less than 5 minutes. They cook everything in front of you so you know it's fresh! I had the cubana torta and it was mouthwatering. The portions are huge!! I could only eat a half of a half. Definitely will be back to try other options off of the menu! ”
