Reviews for Gordo's Cantina in Brooklyn, NY
This is such an great place. When we first went we felt so welcome and everyone who works there is so friendly. I love sitting... outside and dining alongside the neighborhood pups. Random Menu highlights are the cocktails (and I love that they have some funnon alcoholic drinks as well), the chips and four different salsas (they?re very spicy!!) everything I?ve tried here is superyummy - and it?s vegetarian friendly. Great spot for all occasions! Read more
Awesome food. Pretty sizeable portions, quick and friendly staff, and nice cozy location. I definitely over ordered, not... expecting the tacos to be as packed as they were. But it's called Gordo's for a reason lol. I got the shrimp tacos, octopustacos, and open faced steak quesadillas. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. Will definitely be stopping by again.

Worth checking out if you are in the area! Positives: - Food: This spot was Michelin rated in 2021 and the food lives up to the... expectations. Ordered the carne asada quesadilla and tiger shrimp tacos. Both items were good and had decent size portions. -Drinks: There are 6+ different Margarita flavors and offer a wide range of cocktails and Mexican beers. I really like that theirmargaritas are not too sweet! We ordered the mango, grapefruit, cucumber jalapeño margaritas and a michelada. All the drinkswere good. - Ambiance: Not your typical Mexican spot! When I visited they played emo-punk music for the majority of my stay.From looking at the decor, I got some skater vibes. - Team: Great customer service all around. Opportunities: - Nothing worthmentioning. I enjoyed my time here and will definitely be back. There's a few more dishes that are calling my name. Read more
Incredible food. Awesome vibes, great music, friendly staff, generous portions, amazing flavor. Everything was insanely... delicious. Highly recommend the steak quesadilla Read more
BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN NYC. Quality ingredients, authentic dishes with innovative twists. Gordo?s is the only place I ever go out... to eat to. The guac is always fire, the chips are always fresh! Try their quesadillas- open faced tacos with cheese grilled intothe tortilla ???? They always have some specials going on, fillings of the huitlacoche mushrooms is just too damn good.. Andtheir drinks are beyond well made (I say this as a bartender myself). The atmosphere inside always has the best energy, everyonewill welcome & treat you as a friend. Been coming here since they first opened in Bushwick. I?d happily become gorda at gordo?s.Cheers Read more
I decided to visit Gordo's Cantina after spotting it on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list and it didn't disappoint. I had two of... the menu items off their recommended list: Black Tiger Shrimp Tacos with Menonita Cheese and the Roasted Poblano and CornQuesadilla plus a fresh hibiscus margarita to boot. Everything was excellent -- fresh, flavorful, and fun. I will be back to trythe Chicken Enchiladas and explore the rest of the menu Read more
Service was good and very friendly , unfortunately the chicken tacos were really bad and they only give you one single taco... shell so it breaks apart less than halfway through... nice :) Spicy margarita is an extra charge just to put alitle tajin on theoutside of the glass :/ who actually puts their mouth on glass in public restaurants ? just tastes like juice.. at least put ajalepeño slice in it or two, if you're gonna charge extra for spicy it should be spicy :) Read more
