I'm from San Diego. Tacos El Gordo is from San Diego... In 2012, I lived near Texas, and surprisingly, Mexican food is not as good there. It's so ironic that American Mexican food is called Tex-Mex, yet it wasn't great. Moved here in 2013, and my friend brought me to Don Tortaco. I was drunk but that is the most horrible Tex-Mex food I've had. Heard about Tacos el Gordo has one here in Vegas. Went here one drunken night, and I was so happy. This is the kind of Mexican food that I like.
The small tacos are good, but what sold me is the carne asada fries. So yummy!
I hate to admit that it's now on the same level as carne asada fries in Sarita's in San Diego. They're a bit different than carne asada fries in SD, but it's nonetheless delicious! I would go back here again just for the CARNE ASADA FRIES.
My boyfriend decided to try the TACO DE CABEZA (beef head). It was good. Better than Taco de Asada. Get that one!
