“ The tacos are hands down the best I have ever had like everrr! And Hugo is amazing! He made sure everything was ordered perfect and even made sure the churro I ordered after my initial order came out at the same time as all my other food for me! ”
“ Great big portions. I ordered a tamale and a chicken chimichanga. The chimichanga is excellent! Lots of flavor and not overly spicy. Tamale is wonderful and the red sauce has a bite to it. I came back and am trying the fajita burrito and the ground beef taco. I have included a picture. I can only eat half a burriti because it's too large for me. The drive through is extremely slow because they make your order fresh from scratch. Be patient or order ahead. ”
“ Ordered the Super Burrito and it was absolutely delicious- enough for two - the carne asada was very flavorful and was loaded with other goodies. Definitely will order it again. ”
“ “Despite its location within a gas station, don’t let that deter you! Upon a friend’s recommendation, I decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did. This hidden gem is incredibly authentic and definitely worth a visit. El Gordo is particularly delicious!” ”
“ It's clean but really small and a nice place to eat but not swanky. The food is priced very well, the employees speak english and spanish. For 8.45 I but the breakfast burrito and I am full after the first half. The breakfast burrito is filled with eggs, potato's, melted cheese, plus you have meat and fish included your choice. I do the sausage. If you drive thru or go in add tge green sauce, a very light kick but fabulous. ”
