Tacos El Gordo

There’s so much hype about this place! I have to agree with them, the food is authentically Mexican. You can smell it from the parking lot. Tacos will not disappoint you, handmade tortillas, guacamole and your choice of meat. Only regret is that I don’t have a larger appetite. People love this place, it’s crowded! Whether it’s 2PM or 2AM. So bring your appetite but patience with you. Finding a place to sit can be hard, so if you can, takeout instead. Hopefully soon they get a larger place with better scalability.

Some of the best authentic Mexican I have ever eaten. The food was absolutely amazing. The food is all fresh and prepared right infrontbof you. They offer a ton of options, including chicken, pork, and beef. The place is always packed, and there is a line out the door and around the corner. The line moves very fast and is well worth the short wait.

I was staying at the hotel across the street. Wanted a quick bite and saw this place was packed. As I was crossing the street, I overheard a some guy taking a friend to this place. I asked and he says it's THE place to go for Mexican. And he was right. The food did not disappoint! Will definitely come back again the next time in town. Saw the person in front asked for some grilled onions and jalapenos, so I did the same. Aling with the crunchy radishes, they're great side dishes.

Tucked away amidst the shimmering lights of Las Vegas Blvd is Tacos El Gordo, a culinary gem waiting to be discovered. From the moment I stepped in, the rich aroma of grilled meats and fresh cilantro promised an authentic taco experience. The menu is both concise and expansive, highlighting traditional favorites and unique house specialties. The standout for me was the Al Pastor taco - the pineapple's sweetness and the marinated pork's savory notes danced harmoniously on my palate. Each bite was enhanced by their homemade salsas, ranging from mild to wild. Despite the bustling crowd, service was prompt and friendly. Whether you're a seasoned taco aficionado or new to the world of Mexican cuisine, El Gordo offers a memorable dining experience. Truly a taco haven in the heart of Sin City. Highly recommended!

It’s super busy on the weekends but during the weekdays you don’t have to wait long at all. If you have to go there during the weekend, go during off hours like mid afternoon.

Tacos are so, so good. Worth the wait, but would recommend getting there earlier then you think you need to.

Having been there, the line system is a bit…convoluted and they should make it more clear what line is for what, or set up some sort of line barriers with signs. It’s more of a mob of people asking each other if they’re in the right line.

Outside of that, the food itself is delicious.

Fun spot to try while visiting. Located just south of the strip. Next to town square. Turn at light before town square entrance if heading south on the strip and it will be on your right. Open til 2am. I suggest the Mulas. You can turn one order in to 2 tacos easily and both will have cheese.

Best tacos in Las Vegas. It’s towards the edge so it may be out of the way, but it’s worth the trek. Make sure to ask for pineapple, it takes it over the top! Lines can be long, but it’s definitely the wait is worth it. There’s plenty of seating and with the natural flow, there will be a seat open in just minutes. The restaurant itself isn’t super clean, but it’s fast casual so don’t expect to linger around very long. I highly recommend trying it out if you’re in the area!

It's a high volume tacqueria. Everything is fresh and delicious. The line system can be a bit of a bummer if you want more than one kind of taco and you're there solo, but oh well.

Definitely the best tacos I've had in Vegas. Worth a return trip.

This food was ridiculously good and it shows by how jam packed it was! Do not be discouraged by the line out the door because the food was SO worth it. It is the best Al Pastor and the mulas that I got was amazing! I highly recommend it!

From the time we entered the line to when we were sitting down to eat was about 1-1.5 hours.

It really helps if you go with multiple people as once you get inside there are multiple different lines for the different types of meat. Best approach is to have someone go in each of the lines to get the different meats and fries that you want. All of the tacos are made fresh to order at the counter. Once you have all your food, you go to a corner counter to pay.

Seating can be hard to find and there were people everywhere, but there is lots of turn over with the number of orders that they turn out.

Packed delicious little taco spot on the strip with a line that is worth waiting in if you want good tacos!

They've got a lot of variety of great food there and everyone was very happy with the selection we ordered.

Would recommend this place two people again just know you're going to stand in line most likely for a while waiting to order

This place was absolutely jam packed! The food was SO good though. We waited about an hour and a half to get our food. They have many different lines for the different types of meat. You get in that line and wait until you can order at the counter. Then, you go to a corner counter to pay. Seating was hard to find and there were people everywhere. It is the best Al Pastor I have ever had and the mulas that I got was amazing! I highly recommend it!

As authentic as you can get! Tacos were made fresh in front of you with freshly prepared ingredients. Ordering system is efficient for the high volume of customers. Challenge to find seating, but after a few minutes, we snagged a spot and devoured these delicious tacos! Highly recommend the beef tongue tacos!
