I never really enjoyed tacos as I don't eat a lot of meat but the chicken tacos at Taco Gordo were incredible! It's a great... restaurant with indoor and outdoor seats. The food is a great value and the margarita and drink selection is overflowing! Read more
With this being one of the only places around Burlington to get tacos, I feel inclined to give it a higher rating. Besides this... the food here is phenomenal with lots of authentic Mexican dishes to choose from. I always enjoy trying the non-alcoholicMexican drinks like horchata and tepache. The tacos always come out fresh and quickly. All in all, this is a great spot for acasual bite or a nice night out if you are feeling tacos. Read more
Awesome burritos and AMAZING homemade chips and salsa! Cute outdoor seating and fun inside vibe (but crowded when waiting to... pick-up a to-go order)! Definitely recommend to friends! Read more
It was a little insulting to pay $5 for such a small side of guacamole, even more insulting to have to pay about $3 for chips on... the side (not included with the guac). The food was just a little better than others in town, but nothing to write home about.Painfully overpriced for what they offer. I will give them the credit that for how busy they were when I went, the food came outpretty quickly. Most likely will never return. Overpriced, mediocre small portions Read more
The Al Pastor was sold out so I went with the carnitas, which were tasty but not greasy. They also have a mini salsa bar so you... can put whatever salsa you like on your tacos. Wasn't a big fan of the horchata though. Outdoor dining is available. Read more
We saw the highlights of this little taco place on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and were sure to include it on our vacation... through the area. It's an order at the window type of place and they have a lovely little patio. Guy was right, the El Pastortaco was scrumptious! Layers of slightly crisped pulled pork and pineapple were the highlights of this dish set of lots offresh cilantro and Adobe sauce that layered with flavor! Good service, relaxed atmosphere. I'm jealous of the folks that livewithin walking distance of this gem. Read more
It's Taco Tuesday in Burlington's old North end and there's no better place to be, than Taco Gordo. It's a local hub of loud,... standing room only, self-service deliciousness served up in baskets of bueno. With a full bar, and a creative Inez mixing upeverything from standards to special requests, you really can't go wrong. Start with the chips and guac, especially if you'relike me and love your fatty avocado cut with a little extra acid...and don't forget the agua, because there's no sparing thesalt on the snappy house made tortillas. It was tempting to try it all...but I limited myself to a taco tinga, pork tamale, andguac tostada. The tostada arrived crispy with a healthy dose of cilantro that I really enjoyed. The taco was both light andsatisfying with a good mix of flavors...if you're seeking senseless heat, this is not a hot pepper challenge. It's goodauthentic food. While the masa was on the dry side (likewise the rice), the pork tamale was full of flavor. With a side of riceand beans, my three choices turned out to be more than enough for a fulfilling and enjoyable meal. It's close quarters, but mostof our nearby diners we're friendly and eager to share in conversation. I was concerned about one man at the bar who appeared tobe gnawing on his forearm, until I watched him dip it in salsa verde and realized it was a massive burrito. Next time, TacoGordo...next time...mi amigo. Read more
