" If you're on the hunt for real Mexican food, look no further! Taqueria El Gordo truly delivers authentic flavors.

" I recently organized a small get-together and ordered a variety of tacos from Taqueria El Gordo. The feedback was quite polarizing; some loved the Al Pastor while others found the flavors a bit flat. The service was acceptable, but I may look for alternatives next time. They have good food, just not consistent enough for a party. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Taqueria El Gordo! Their Al Pastor tacos are to die for, perfectly cooked with that delightful char. Each bite is packed with flavor, and I appreciate the use of authentic ingredients. The atmosphere is always lively, and the staff is friendly. It's become my go-to spot in Portland for Mexican food!

" I finally visited Taqueria El Gordo after hearing so much about it! The tacos were definitely good, but I felt like they could use a little more seasoning. The portion sizes were decent, and I appreciate the authentic aspects, especially the pineapple in the Al Pastor. The service was friendly, though they seemed a bit disorganized during peak hours. I'd go back to try more items! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Taqueria El Gordo based on a friend's recommendation and was quite disappointed. My tacos had a lot of grease, which isn't what I expect when I think of authentic Mexican food. The service was fine, but my overall experience didn't live up to the hype. Maybe it was just an off day, but I wouldn't recommend it based on my visit. " (*Curated Review*)
