These are our favorite tacos they are so delicious. I always get a adobada vampiro, adobada mula, and adobada taco. Sorry, but most of the time there will be lines but that's because anything you order will be delicious!
Before this location was even a thought, we would always drive to the location off Losee/15. Lol. So it's really great having a location closer to home. These tacos are always a hit! My favorite is adobada and the carne asada. My husband also orders Lengua. And the food consistency hasnt changed at all. Service was quick on the day we went. Decent amount of seating at this location. Check them out if you're in the area!
Pretty good tacos. They fills these to the brim so you, honestly, don't need to eat a lot. Plus they have a hefty price tag. Worth it tho. Of you are used to eatting 4 street tacos, only get 2 here. You will be full. Im struggling after 2. So I guess you have to get in the line with the meat that you want. Order the type of food you want. The cook hooks you up. If you want another meat, then get in the other line. I was smart and asked my sister to get me one pork taco so I didn't have to stand in line again and I got her a Carne asada. We traded tacos. I asked what the other types of food they had. Apparently the quesadilla isn't the quesadilla that are thinking of. It's a flat slot tortilla, cheese, taco stuff then a hard to tostada shell on the top. And the Mulas was like a quesadilla but with 2 flour tortilla sandwich-ing the filling. Hopefully i got that all right. Then the Aztec one just adds cactus. If you like tacos after a night of drinking, dancing or gambling, come hit this spot up!
Sunday 1/12/2025 & Wednesday 1/15/2025 First time visiting Vegas as I was attending a business conference. This spot came to my attention due to Keith Lee and was very popular among those I attended the conference with. The ordering is simple and effective: you take a tray and go to one of the lines at the main counter, where they serve different cuts of meat. Once you get the items you want, you move to a separate counter to pay for your items. I ended up ordering the adobada quesadilla (pork) $7.54, carne asada taco $4.12, and Buche taco (pork stomach) $4.12. - The adobada quesadilla was flavorful & on point. The ingredients complemented each other, everything went perfectly together (It was so good that I had to come back again on Wednesday, 1/15). - The carne asada taco was solid, but I feel it would've been more enjoyable if it were flour instead of corn. - The Buche taco was ordered by accident as I thought it was something else, but it was okay. Overall, I can confidently say that this spot has the best tacos I've ever had and that pork adobada quesadilla is a must-have!
Come with STRETCHY pants!!!! The tacos look small but the size deceives, they're PACKED with meat! The Carne Asada and Suadero are our FAVS! They have a plethora of cuts from Lengua to Tripe and all Beef and Pork parts in between. A myriad of traditional, fresh toppings to be had, along with flavored Aguafrescas and sodas. This is a no-frills, phenomenally-flavored Taco spot, that stays winning because they're just GOOD at what they do! *You only stand in the line of the taco you want. If you want a variety, just slide to the next stall.
We were in the are and in the mood of Tacos. We stopped by for lunch, found parking right away and not to busy for the Taco lines. Most people find it confusing but the signs are pretty self explanatory. We ordered and the tacos are made in front of you to your liking. For drinks & to pay it is at a separate counter. We found a clean table. and enjoyed our tasty tacos . will be returning when in town.
I have heard about this place for a LONG time now and I finally got to try it! To be honest, it was a bit disappointing. I orders all the tacos - asada, lengua, and pastor. Asada was too salty for my taste even with the toppings on it. Pastor was a bit more tough when I thought it'd be juicier than the rest. Lengua was my favorite out of the 3 and their sauce is SPICY! Hits you a bit after! Service was amazing despite the lines and they're super fast. Friendly and knows what to recommend and takes time to describe their items.
Tacos El Gordo definitely lives up to the hype for our family. Service has always been friendly and efficient. While it can be hard to swallow the $4.12/taco price tag, their asada (steak) taco is the best in the Vegas Valley, dare I say. It's seasoned so well! Their tortilla is hands down the best in the Vegas Valley too! We've also enjoyed their adobada (marinated pork) taco with pineapple, but they are not the most flavorful compared to their asada. We definitely recommend Taqueria Casa Del Sabor instead for the most flavorful adobada and pineapple tacos. The interior of the restaurant is clean and despite visiting when lines are long with crowds, there seems to always be a clean table available. Really love that this location offers comfortable dog friendly patio seating as well. It's across the street from Town Square and only a short trip to The Strip, so it's a very convenient location. The cherry on top for me personally, though, is that they serve Orange Bang and other whip drinks! Tacos El Gordo is definitely a must visit (at least once in your life)!
Tacos El Gordo definitely lives up to the hype. The service is fast and friendly, but you def gotta keep up with their pace. The place is clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus when you're looking for a spot to grab a quick bite. One thing to keep in mind is that seating is pretty limited, and it can get crowded during peak hours. But the tacos are absolutely worth it--some of the best I've had. Located very close to Town square so not a far drive if you're staying on the strip.
Finally made it to Gordo's in Vegas, and yes--believe the hype! Some of our family brought it back to the hotel the night before, and I knew we had to get our own. No regrets! The lines were a bit confusing since you order based on the protein, but it was all worth it. I was craving carne asada fries, and let me tell you--I savored every bite and devoured it all. Oink! But hey, I'm living in the moment!
