| - My cousin has heard nothing but good things about Tacos El Gordo so she decided to take her kids and I here for dinner. Let me tell you, if I could, I would take a turbulent flight back to Las Vegas for some chorizo tacos and some carne asada fries right this second.
When approaching the plaza El Gordo is in, you can definitely tell its not the upscale part of Vegas.
Trust me, I definitely felt sketchy walking up to this place, I was thinking "what's my cousin thinking? We're in Vegas, let's go eat at a buffet or something", but my cousin stood her ground! We ended up waiting in what seemed to be SUCH a long line, but it moved pretty quickly. It can be expected to wait around 30-45 mins. We ordered and what impressed me most is everything is made to order, even the tortillas! So fresh, so good. Getting to watch your food being made, even better, smells and all.
I would say that the experience that you would receive here is no different than a fast food restaurant. Order food, pick up and pay. Tacos El Gordo is not a really waitressed place although there is tons of seating. Even when there was so much seating it was super packed so we decided to take it to the car to enjoy. I can tell you right now, that it's the most authentic Mexican food I've EVER had and it's the BEST Mexican food that I've ever tasted.
I guess the saying is right, "you should never judge a book by its cover".
