I was very disappointed with the Food, flavor and service. Over priced for so little quantity. The soup which I was informed was big came cold and hardly filled with anything for 10$. I WOULDNT RECOMMEND it. I had the Birria Taco than came 3 tiny ones with corn for 22$ not worth it, it lacked depth and flavor I had to drown it with hot sauce to get anything. I would say 2/10 I've had better Mexican food for cheaper elsewhere. The Shrimp Ceviche was alright nothing special from a what I can only assume was precooked and pre packaged pre frozen shrimp you can buy at any grocery store. The Service was subpar which wouldn't have mattered if the food was good. The Atmosphere was nice but not good enough for a good review. Definitely disappointed and wouldn't recommend or come back.

My Fiancé and I went to El Gordo for the first time after reading online reviews. We were pleasantly surprised and agreed with the positive feedback. We found the atmosphere to be relaxed which was what we were looking for . The Sunday special for 2 of Chicken or Tofu Fajitas was our choice for our first visit ( but definitely not our last ) & we were very happy with it. It was delicious and a generous sizzling pan with the usual accompaniments of 8 soft Tacos , Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, and Salsa . We chose a bottle of their house wine which was an Organic Bio Tempranillo from Spain. The price was very reasonable. For dessert we had the traditional Churros and Flan and were happy with both along with an Americano/ Canadiano. The service was exceptional, courteous, friendly , made us feel like honoured guests or family. We were especially happy with our server , Simon who is a definite asset to your Restaurant. He has the perfect personality for the service profession. We would also like to give a shout-out to Malik. He too is great in the service profession. Personality wise, these two rate a 5/5 + 🌟⭐️ We will be returning and cannot wait for Summer Terrasse weather. Thank you to one and all at El Gordo. Two new fans, Sharon & Ian Clyde
