" I was looking for authentic Mexican food and Gordos does not disappoint! I tried several tacos and each one had the right amount of seasoning. Not only does the food taste great, but the staff made me feel welcome throughout my visit. The bakery next door is a dream come true if you have a sweet tooth. Overall, an excellent experience. I'll be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want genuine Mexican food, Gordos is a hidden treasure! The tacos are delightful, with rich tastes that remind me of delicious family meals. Plus, their bakery has some of the best desserts! A little hidden gem I stumbled upon—I'm definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gordos has been my go-to place for Mexican food since I moved here! The food feels authentic, just like home-cooked meals. I always order street tacos; they are affordable and incredibly filling. However, the place can get a bit crowded, which I didn't mind because the food is worth it. Staff is friendly and attentive—highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Gordos last night and I couldn’t be happier with my meal! The tacos were absolutely scrumptious, especially the carnitas. The portion sizes were generous, making it an excellent value for the price. The only downside I had was there wasn't enough outdoor seating available. However, the lively atmosphere more than made up for it, and I'll certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a place that feels like home when it comes to authentic Mexican food, Gordos is the spot! The flavors take me back to my childhood, and every visit is a treat. The tamales are a personal favorite, along with the fresh salsas, which have just the right amount of heat. The lively, colorful decor and friendly service create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having visited Gordos multiple times, I can honestly say it remains one of my favorite spots for tacos in the area. The food is consistently good, and you can tell they prioritize authentic ingredients. The price is right for the portion size, too. I particularly loved the lengua tacos, which are always tender and flavorful! The only downside is limited seating, but the food is definitely worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gordos has a fantastic bakery section as well as an extensive menu. I tried their tres leches cake and was blown away; the texture was perfect and it wasn’t overly sweet. I also indulged in some tacos, which were equally impressive. While I did feel the restaurant's decor could use a refresh, the delicious food more than compensated for it. This is definitely my go-to when I crave authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
