Tacos El Gordo is the place to be for authentic Mexican flavors! Stopped by recently and was blown away by the amazing homemade tortillas and juicy meat in their tacos - totally worth it. The vibe is casual yet cozy, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner with friends and family. I loved the complimentary bean tostada with my order; a delightful touch! Don’t skip their refreshing aguas frescas either. The staff treated me like family, making this spot a must-visit! 🌮
