" Every bite at Gordo’s was a treat! The carne asada quesadilla stole the show with its cheesy goodness and perfectly grilled meat. I also loved the homemade salsa that had just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere is casual yet lively, making it perfect for a night out with friends. My only complaint? I wish I had room for dessert because they looked amazing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gordo's Cantina is a wonderful jewel of a restaurant. The staff is always welcoming, and the food continues to impress me every time I return. I particularly enjoy their spicy margaritas and the ceviche! Each time I visit, I feel like part of the family. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best part about Gordo's is the homemade tortillas—you can really taste the craftsmanship! The salsa, guacamole, and other sides complemented our meal perfectly. I highly recommend giving this stellar restaurant a chance if you're ever in Bushwick! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a really mixed experience. The tacos were excellent but the service felt a bit slow. I know they were busy, but it was frustrating to wait for such simple things like more drinks. I enjoyed the ambiance, it’s very laid back and perfect for friends just hanging out. Just wish the service was a bit more on point to match the great food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my visit to Gordo's. Initially excited based on all the hype, but both my tacos and burritos were average at best. There was also way too much oil in my takeout order. While I appreciated the atmosphere and the presentation of the food, I expected something more authentic. Service was decent but my server seemed overwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a fantastic place! The tortilla soup was rich with flavor, a true comfort food. The shrimp tacos had the most amazing texture and were simply delightful! The servers were incredibly attentive throughout our meal. Everything about this spot made me feel welcomed. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a real taste of Mexico, Gordo’s is the place to be! The teamwork among the waitstaff created an efficient atmosphere, ensuring we received everything we needed promptly. The mole enchiladas blew me away – creamy and rich with a delicious sauce. I also tried the key lime pie, which was the perfect way to end a fabulous meal! I'll certainly be back.
