Tacos El Gordo is an amazing true authentic cheap place to eat for really good basic Mexican food. Their meat and the flavoring is incredible and just the entire vibe of the place is really cool. Makes me feel like a place you would find downtown LA or somewhere like that. Definitely check it out, I would recommend the Charleston location over the strip just because I’m not positive, but I think it’s a little bit more expensive on the strip and I was gonna say the strip is probably more busy, but actually, they are all busy, all of the time! If you’re looking for a luxurious Mexican meal like El Torito, this isn’t the place for you, but if you want the real deal for an affordable price with great people and good times then do not miss Tacos El Gordo

Wowwww this place is amazing. I actually Uber’d to this location by accident. I had assumed I would be going to one of the ones on the strip. Well honestly. There was zero wait. It was clear they were not necessarily accustomed to seeing tourist. Truthfully. Next trip I think will return to this location instead of one of the super busy strip locations. I’m not sure who was more surprised. Them that I couldn’t speak Spanish. Or me when they could speak very clear English after assuming I could speak Spanish. lol. Great experience!!
