A highly appreciated restaurant for its Mexican/South American cuisine, with dishes often described as delicious, well presented, and generously portioned. The atmosphere is generally warm, festive, and colorful, and the service is often praised as attentive, friendly, and accommodating of certain allergies or dietary needs.

Some of the best Mexican I've had period. Pleasantly surprised and at such a good price. They were really accommodating to our celiac allergy and the servers were super nice. It's a bit far from the city but not too bad if you're visiting the circuit or want to venture across the river. My favorite food experience while visiting Montreal!

We spent Cinco de Mayo at El Gordo, and once again, it didn’t disappoint! We were greeted by name by the owner, which added such a personal touch to the festive ambiance. The margaritas are decadent, my husband swapped tequila for mezcal, and the owner even brought the bottle over to chat with us about it. Beyond the great food, El Gordo has truly brightened the Village of Saint-Lambert. From the toys and scooters they provide for kids in the park out front to their kindness in offering free coffee and workspace during power outages, they are so much more than a restaurant. El Gordo is easily one of the best additions to Saint-Lambert, they are a pillar of our community!

I’ve been here a couple times and it’s been amazing every time! This resent visit still managed to blow me away with the excellent service and yummy food. A personal thanks to Chloé for her attentiveness and great service 😁
