" Gordos had been highly recommended by a friend, and I finally decided to check it out! I have to say, it lived up to the hype. The tacos were phenomenal, particularly the barbacoa, which had such a rich flavor. The line moved quickly, and I didn't wait long to get my food. This place is a must-visit for anyone craving solid Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Gordos based on previous reviews, but my experience was a bit hit or miss. The tacos were good, very authentic, but the service was slightly lacking. It took a while to receive my order even though it wasn’t busy. When I finally got my food, the flavor was there for sure, but I expected a better overall experience. Maybe I’ll give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I walk into Gordos, I am greeted with the warmth of home-cooked meals. The tacos here are excellent, flavorful, and make me feel connected to my roots. I appreciate the larger portions, especially the burritos. However, I've noticed that seating can be limited during busy times, which might be a downside for some. But the food makes it worth the slight inconvenience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gordos is truly a delightful experience. I have tried different items from the menu, and they never disappoint. The ambiance is lively, reflecting the vibrant flavors of the food. The bakery nearby is incredibly tempting, and it's a perfect spot to grab a sweet treat for later. I can't recommend Gordos highly enough if you're looking for authentic Mexican culinary experiences! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a mixed review for Gordos. While the food is undeniably authentic and they serve a mean taco al pastor, the service can be a bit slow during peak hours. I enjoyed the atmosphere; it felt warm and inviting. If you have time to wait, it's worth it, but if you're in a hurry, you might want to visit during off-peak times. " (*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*)
