Always expect a crowd, especially on a Friday night, tonight being a Friday is no exception. The dining area is to capacity and lines are waiting for about 20-30 minutes. Tacos are always good and good portions are always expected especially if you are a person that appreciates good service and knows how to TIP adequately. Please Tip these hardworking people which are all probably working for minimum wage.
When I come to tacos el gordo I always like to order the carne asada which come with home made tortillas, or any other variations which come with processed ones. I had never tried TRIPA tacos I thought the idea of trying tripe tacos was nasty, my wife being a loving caring wife said try them and shoved one in my mouth and I won't lie to you ever since that day I order one or two of those. I've also tried the carne asada fries which are OK I suppose but not for me I'd rather have a taco.
With all of this being said, I miss the location on Vegas Blvd, because it is closer to home and much more convenient that is the reason I don't come as often as I'd like to. Mexican food always brings back childhood memories, as a child I loved going to the taco truck with the family I guess this type of atmosphere is what I like sometimes (less the rudeness and loudness of some macho acting Mexicans that want to fight over a table.).
I guess you can't always have everything in this life. Well about to eat me some food food and enjoy good times with great friends, til next time yelpers.
