| - When I found out there was a Tacos El Gordo in Vegas, I just about..."you know what..." hahaha.
I've already been to this location a few times now since I go to Vegas more often than I go to SD....and just like the SD one...I am NEVER disappointed. One of the BEST taco places...EVER, and now Vegas has once again taken another great resto and placed it in a location where you can access so many other must-eats all within a few miles of each other.
As always, make sure you know what you're doin...pay attention to the lines...make sure you know which line to get into. We're always with a group and we all want the different tacos, so we each get in a line and just order for the group...trust me, that's the best way to attack it...and the best way for everyone to get the best of all worlds. I can't remember exactly which lines have which tacos, but you'll figure it out when you see them. EVERY line is long, and the location makes it such that the line goes straight out the door. My absolute favorites are the lengua, abodabo, and the al pastor and even the cabeza is pretty darn tasty. If you want a quesadilla, you can add that to your order from any line, so don't worry about that. Roughly $3 a taco, and i can eat about 4 and be decently full...maybe fit a quesadilla in there. And I'm good good. The tortillas are made in-house, which I love! You can see the lady rolling and frying the tortilla -- yes, it's that fresh.
Seating here is a little more spacious than SD, but still quite limited.
Not really much to say about service staff...polite and friendly enough, and you get what you need. They deal with high turnover, so don't expect them to be too patient.
Parking...tough, it's on the strip, so if you're going during busy time...good luck. It's near that catholic church near the strip and has a small lot, so uber, lyft, or walk. It's walking distance from Palazzo, where I usually stay, and esp after gorging on some good food, you'll wanna walk it off anyway.
A definite MUST!
