Tacos El Gordo in Las Vegas is a vibrant homage to authentic Tijuana-style Mexican street food. Their menu stands out with a rich variety of tacos that range from Adobada’s spiced pork to Carne Asada’s grilled beef, all served on fresh corn tortillas with an array of traditional toppings like grilled onions and cebollitas. The experience is crafted around bold flavors, highlighted by fan favorites such as the Tacos Al Pastor Quesadilla and Carne Asada Fries, delivering a perfect blend of smoky, savory, and tangy notes.
What truly elevates Tacos El Gordo is the attention to detail in their preparation, using trompo-style rotisserie cooking for the meats, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful. Their extras, including mulas, tostadas, and handcrafted sopes, broaden the menu’s depth, while horchatas and refreshing drinks offer a classic Mexican finish. Despite the long lines and slightly premium pricing, the authentic taste and lively atmosphere make every visit a rewarding dive into Mexican culinary culture.
