What James C doesn't like about El Chinito Gordo:
This is the worst Mexican restaurant! Should have left when I saw an empty parking lot. Should have been suspicious when I saw they had Asian chili sauce on the table. Sickly sweet green sauce on the enchiladas. Tomato sauce covering the crunchy tacos; who does this? Left with most of the food on my plate and went elsewhere. Yuck!!! View all feedback. What Tiffany Steakhouse likes about El Chinito Gordo:
Several delicious vegetarian options available, great service, and several Mezcal options! Its our go to place for lunch or dinner dates on the weekends, and they always go out of their way to make sure you leave happy!Vegetarian options: The rajas taco and potato tacos are my favorite!!
