" Tacos El Gordo is a must-visit for taco lovers. Their shrimp tacos were crispy and delicious, served with a variety of salsas that added a wonderful touch. The only drawback was the limited seating and slightly high prices on combo plates. The service was overall pleasant, making up for some of the shortfalls in the dining experience. I recommend trying this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Gordo has become a convenient spot for me to grab lunch during busy workdays. Their taco specials are unbeatable! The staff is generally friendly, although there's been an instance of forgetfulness about orders. Overall, I appreciate the authenticity and flavor in the food. Just a tad more attention to service would elevate the experience further. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Tacos El Gordo was delightful! I had their special tacos and they were out of this world. The prices are affordable and the quality is superb; you truly can’t beat their taco deals on Mondays and Thursdays. The only issue was that it got quite crowded, showing how popular this gem is! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Gordo has an ambiance that makes you feel right at home. I ordered their tamale plate and was mighty impressed with its authenticity and taste. The service was friendly but slightly slow since the restaurant was packed. This place definitely merits a visit and the prices are reasonable for what you get. I can see why people love it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Tacos El Gordo today, and it was quite enjoyable! Their burritos are huge and filling, that I struggled to finish mine due to the portions. The food tasted fresh and authentic. The only downside was that it was very busy during lunchtime, which affected the service time. I plan to return for another taco fix soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" You can't beat the price of the tacos at Tacos El Gordo! I enjoyed a variety of them and they were delicious, especially the al pastor. However, I found the dining area to be quite cramped and uncomfortably warm during my visit. The service was friendly, but the wait times felt longer than expected. I would still come back for the food if I'm in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience at Tacos El Gordo. The tacos were decent but lacked the wow factor that I was expecting. The service was friendly but quite slow due to the crowd. The ambiance was okay, but a little cramped for my liking. I might consider trying it again during a less busy time and hope for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)
