What User doesn't like about El Gordo:
Petit souper à l'improviste. Le resto est joli, le service correct et sympathique. L'ambiance est agréable bien que très bruyant. Nos plats de tacos étaient bien, sans plus. On y retrouve un menu peu original mais plait possiblement au grand nombre. Nos margaritas etaient savoureux, mais quelque peu dispendieux en regard avec la qualité des alcools utilisés. 40$ pour 3 tacos et 2 verres: un peu cher pour l'offre. J'y... View all feedback. What User likes about El Gordo:
Je suis allée deux fois en un mois car j'aime bien la terrasse, les choix variés de tacos goûteux et la variété de cocktails. C'est très casual, rien de prétentieux et l'ambiance du restaurant est sympa avec la musique latine. Le service est efficace, les prix sont justes pour la localisation, quoique ce soit 12-15$ pour une assiette de trois tacos. Je recommande le cocktail de Pamplemousse rose fraîchement pressé av...

This restaurant has a lovely terrace that is perfect for relaxing with friends or colleagues during the summer. The service is fast and the staff is friendly.

I went to this restaurant for lunch. There are plenty of taco restaurants in the area, so I decided to try this one. It wasn't too crowded.

El Gordo is a hidden gem perfect for a casual lunch or a fun night out with friends. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the ambience is fantastic with great Spanish music. The shrimp tacos and churros are highly recommended. The service may have been a bit off for some, but overall, El Gordo is definitely worth a visit for tasty tacos and good vibes. Don't miss out on the cauliflower tacos and shrimp bol for a satisfying meal. With a variety of flavors and great service, it's no wonder El Gordo is a must-visit spot in Montreal.

It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. The tortillas weren't fresh. The nachos were average. Not a place to recommend. Service was good.

Decided to go back after a year. Nice atmosphere, food is not fantastic, but above average. Marguerita was excellent. Would recommend a stop.
