If I knew I had one day left to live in Las Vegas, I would do a lots of things. One of these things would be to walk up to the carnitas that's slowly cooking at Tacos El Gordo and take a big bite out of it. I imagine the workers would tried to restrain me, and as this is happening, I would attempt a second bite out of the pineapple on top.
This is a hidden gem on the strip (maybe not so hidden since there are so many reviews??) I came here in the middle of the day on Wednesday and had 5 tacos. 2 Carnitas (of course), 2 Carne asada, and a chorizo (this is great, I feel like it goes unnoticed amongst other things). I also ordered the nopales (cactus). I think vegetarians would really appreciate this dish. They serve the tacos with grilled green onions. Parking was easy but it was a random hour. I can't imagine what happens to this place on a weekend night.
Good job Tacos El Gordo. You have a funny name (translates to Tacos The Fat). But I will return regardless of your silly name. Adios muchachos!!!
