The fact that they let us in 30 minutes before closing time makes me love this place. Although we had to rush ourselves to order but thanks to other reviewers, we made the right choice ordering empanadas and arepas. Most of the stuffs I wanted to order is out, but I guess it's normal since it would be closing time soon.
I don't really know how Venezuelan food truly tastes like, to be honest, but the food here at Gordo is AMAZING! The pollo empanadas was made-from-scratch fried corn bread filled with chicken. Tricolour arepas is loaded with chicken, beef, sauteed onions and bell peppers, and shredded cheese. The bread is thick, crispy, and grilled to perfection. These two order is more than enough for a meal. The three sauces come as complimentary with the empanadas and the garlic one is my favorite.
I've heard from few friends that it is one of the most authentic Venezuelan restaurant here in Toronto.
Limited seatings, but the staffs are wonderful and friendly. They are quick and very attentive. Definitely coming back here!
