" Fantastic experience with delicious food! I was blown away by the range of salsas to choose from — all were fresh and flavorful. The tacos were large and filled to the brim with juicy meat, it was a true delight! I plan to make this my go-to spot for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty good time at El Gordo with the family, but we ran into some hiccups. The food was generally tasty, but our order took some time to arrive, which was slightly frustrating. The environment was cozy, so that made up for it. Overall, would consider visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)
