Tacos El Gordo

October 17, 2025

Lots of seating, great tacos, great place! Speaking Spanish is a plus, but ya don't have to. You walk in and get in one of the lines. When you look at the signs, get in the line of what you want - Adobo, lengua, carne asada, etc. when you get to the counter, tell them how many of what you want- 3 tacos, 1 vampire, and 1 azteca, for example. If you want different meats, I think you need to get in the other lines afterwards. They move pretty quickly and it all tastes so good!

The tacos were good, I had six… yes, six! 😅 as they really small. I tried the beef, brain, and tongue tacos, and you could definitely tell which was which from the flavour of the meat. That said, my anticipation was high, but the food was just okay. I think a lot of people go for the hype rather than the experience itself. The queues were long, and for first timers, it wasn’t very clear how to order. The girls behind the counter weren’t particularly friendly when our order got mixed up (English wasn’t their strong point). Overall, if it’s on your bucket list, it’s worth checking out once, but there are plenty of smaller, independent food trucks around Vegas that are definitely worth exploring instead. If you not sure as security guards and any store (we did at Ross).

Food was great but a little confusing. The first time I went in here, I actually left because I didn't understand the lines but I was talking to a former coworker that lives in Vegas and she said the best Al Pastor tacos in town are Tacos El Gordo and she told me how the line works so I went back the next day. I had three regular Al Pastor Tacos and 2 other Al Pastor Tacos that had cheese on them...see the pics. They was hella good and I'm glad I went back. Tip: I never carry cash and I thought I could tip the person making the tacos when I checked out but they don't let you tip then either so you have to bring cash.

The best street tacos in the world—hands down. Every bite is packed with authentic flavor, just like back home. The quality, the freshness, the salsas, the vibe—everything is on point. This is my go-to spot in Vegas for real Mexican tacos. Fast, flavorful, and unforgettable every time. A must-try!

A close friend has been telling me how amazing the tacos are here but we've never really had time to check it out. We ended up coming out for a quick 2 night stay and made a point to try the tacos here. As many have stated, there is limited parking directly behind but all spots were taken so we "illegally” parked at the strip mall next door. I couldn't believe at how long the line was for the asada and am glad the lady asked what type of meat we wanted. She then pointed out that the adobada had a separate line which was a lot shorter. We ended up waiting 45 mins before we got our tacos and decided to eat in the car as there were no open tables. Glad the fries line was empty which allowed me to try the carne asada in the carne asada fries form. We ended up ordering 2 adobada quesadillas and damn was it tasty! Was disappointed with the asada as I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor. Glad I didn't wait in the 1+ hour line for asada tacos. Would definitely head back only for the adobada and really hope they figure out how to streamline their operations.
