" I visited Pollos el Gordo during my vacation in Pensacola and it was the best decision! The restaurant has a vibrant yet homey feel, making you feel part of the family. I indulged in their tacos al pastor, made fresh right in front of me, and they were simply out of this world. Let’s not forget their fantastic selection of homemade salsas! I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dinner here with my family. The service was quick and friendly, and the food came out hot and fresh. I enjoyed the carne asada, which had great flavor, but the portion size felt a bit small compared to the price. Overall, I would say it was a pleasant experience but not quite what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pollos el Gordo has set a high bar for Mexican food! I enjoyed the carne asada, and the fresh toppings were excellent. The only thing is that the interior could use a little sprucing up. Regardless, the food makes up for that and I’ll certainly return for another meal soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great meal! We had carne asada fries and al pastor tacos, they were both pretty tasty. I appreciate how they make tortillas in-house; it really elevates the dish. Although the atmosphere is a bit casual for my taste, it felt cozy and inviting. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to spot for delicious tacos! I love their freshness and traditional flavors. One time, I brought a friend who was visiting, and we both left ecstatic. However, I think they could work on ambiance a bit, it can get a little crowded at peak hours. Overall, highly satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)
