Food: Gifted portions, mixed taste
The Carne Asada Street Tacos, Big Taco, and Taco Platters are generously proportioned and brought to life with fresh ingredients. However, the overall tasting experience may oscillate between delicious and unremarkable moments of blandness. The simplicity of the menu doesn't hamper the offerings but actually complements the fair pricing and good food served.

Vibe: Displeasing blare and decay
The ambiance of Taqueria El Gordito is a mélange of deafening music and deteriorating décor that somehow succeeds in the formidable task of sobering down the anticipation. The vibe of the place isn't exactly your picture-perfect date night spot; it is more suitable for dining solo or duo.
Bad For Dates
Ambiance loud with music, not conducive to romantic date night atmosphere.
Perks: Inviting service, troubled parking
Despite the space-related woes of limited seating and problematic parking, the restaurant makes up with its exceptionally friendly and attentive service. Even if the outdoor seating turns out more crowded than you'd prefer, the service from the staff keeps the experience from going downhill.
