" Honestly, the hype is real! This is my go-to spot for nachos and tacos. They combine flavors perfectly, and everything feels truly authentic. The service is friendly, though sometimes it can be a bit slow during busy times. I also wish they had more seating options, but the quality keeps me returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I finally tried Tacos y Huaraches El Gordo, and I was not disappointed! The carnitas tacos were tender and bursting with flavor, and the authenticity of each meal is undeniable. The service was friendly, and the space had a homey feel. I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend for anyone craving real Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience! The birria tacos are to die for, and I love how they serve everything hot and fresh. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere felt lively but not overpowering. I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable the menu is as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants but El Gordo stands above the rest! Their weekly specials keep things interesting, and I’ve never been disappointed in any dish. The salsas are fresh and flavorful. The only reason I didn't give a full score is that sometimes they run out of popular items quickly. But that’s a testament to how good they are! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stress enough how good Tacos y Huaraches El Gordo is! The food is everything you want in a taco, with a range of spices and flavors that are truly authentic. The space is small but filled with a welcoming vibe, making it ideal for a quick bite or a longer meal. Just love this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" A decent spot for Mexican food. The food quality is good, but I've experienced better elsewhere. The service needs improvement; I felt neglected during my visit. My tacos were enjoyable, however, they missed the homestyle cooking flavor I expected. I might try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! I share the place with my friends and we love splitting a variety of tacos. The carnitas are the best I’ve ever tasted! I did notice they can get a little busy, which is expected, although the staff is friendly, so it is a fair wait. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
