Tacos El Gordo

I was visiting San Diego for the first time and I had a photo on my social media hanging out in downtown San Diego. I don’t have a friend message me saying I must try tacos El Gordo, and have one Al Pastor. I said say no more and went over to look for one and immediately knew it was good coupon seen the huge line outside, waiting to go in and order some tacos. I order some tacos Al Pastor with everything some Carne Asada and some Carne Asada fries. Everything was very good. Specially those tacos al Pastor they’re probably the best tacos. Al pastor that I’ve had in all United States. Totally recommend this place

These tacos were incredible. We came here based on a recommendation and we all loved it. We tried several including the asada, the lengua, tripa, and adobada. It was absolutely packed inside and at first we were a bit confused by the ordering system. You have to order each taco type at their own station with separate lines and pay at the end instead of ordering everything at once. Service was efficient.

Coming from Houston the tacos were super juicy. Every bite exploded in your mouth. Fries were extremely crispy and soft in the inside and service was friendly and excellent. The spice level tho was super low I guess Californians don’t get as spicy as I thought.

It is truly a great authentic restaurant. I am visiting from Toronto, where we don't have many taco options, but this place comes at a great price, and it is well worth it. The meat on its own is also tasty, combined with all the ingredients and sauce, yummy! I'm definitely coming back here if I ever visit San Diego again.

Delicious Tijuana style taqueria. This place is fast paced so be prepared to order quickly. Everything is clearly marked to indicate where you should order and the employees are helpful if you need extra assistance. Great experience overall and the tacos were so freaking good!

Definitely one of the best tacos in San Diego!

We went there for the first time to try authentic Mexican tacos. The asada tacos taste great but the adobada tacos are fantastic.

The meat is perfectly grilled and the tacos are freshly made.

Price is very good for the quality. I would definitely recommend going to Tacos El Gordo.

This lovely small corner shop had some of the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Definitely had the street taco vibe when you walked in, and they make their tortillas fresh just for you!

The carne asada was fantastic, and the cactus was so juicy and surprisingly sweet. I do prefer my tortillas to be a little crispier, but I guess that’s just what I’m used to.

So many different flavors to choose from, each with great texture and fresh toppings. Want something sweet? Their horchata is massive and pairs well with the saltiness of the tacos.

The fries were so so good, even though I was so full from the tacos, I still saved some space for the fries.
