| - Tacos El Gordo is not bad, but there are other places in town, in my experience, that are better for authentic street tacos (e.g., Tacos Y Tacos and Tacos Tijuana - both on S. Pecos).
I went there for lunch around 12pm on a week day and it was extremely busy. It's basically located in a gas station/truck stop. That seems good to me though. It seems more authentic. I ordered the tacos el pastor. However, the tacos were pretty bland to be honest. The flavor was really lacking. I don't know what it was, maybe they had an off day, but I feel other street taco places have bolder seasoning in the meat and sauces. Also, the accoutrements - salsa, pickled jalapeƱos, onions, cilantro and things seemed old and were all soggy, dried up and/or wrinkled. Not good when you have a busy lunch crowd.
They have a pretty large dining space, so you can probably always get a seat but I was not knocked off my feet by this place. But in a pinch, it's better than a lot of other places in the area.
