We decided to stop in, and to our pleasant surprise the mimosa was only $8 and consisted of a mini bottle of JJ sparkling wine. Sitting there, feeling the ocean breeze, and soaking up the sunshine while sipping what tasted like freshly squeezed orange juice, was the perfect way to catch up with a friend. At first, the service was a bit slow, but we did notice there were quite a few tables with patrons and only one server. We didn't mind it since we were only there for the mimosas and were not in a rush. Our server, Elena, was truly wonderful. She took care of us and even brought over some chips and salsa. I am usually not a big chips and salsa person, but I have to say that I am still thinking about them and how fresh and delicious they were. We will definitely be returning to actually try the food!

I ordered the Small Taco Pack, which includes salsa, limes, grilled onions, grilled yellow peppers and 10 tacos. Here's what I got: NO cebollitas, NO chiles gueros, 4 salsas, THREE (3) (dry) limes for TEN (10) tacos, 7 dry tacos, and 3 carnitas tacos that were the saving grace and reason i'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. To go into detail for each taco I tried: *Asada = dry, bland *Adobada = dry, bland *Cabeza = disappointing * Birria = driest birria I've ever had! *Carnitas = good taco! Service was just bare minimum. The inside was cleanly, with plenty of seating. Prices have definitely spiked A LOT in the past year, just from looking at past yelp reviews, and it's kind of unbelievable to pay such high prices for such low quality. I would definitely NOT recommend this place. You want a solid recommendation? New taco stand off Highland and 18th St in National City.

The Carne Asada Taco has a smoky beef flavor, and the quesadilla with corn tortilla has that seared cheese effect that you can only get with Oaxaca cheese, which is like a Mexican Mozzarella. I highly recommend pairing a quesadilla with your tacos. You can order it from any line. I've been going to Tacos El Gordo for almost 25 years now and it is still legit! This place is a San Diego staple that is true to home, and if you're not from San Diego, don't leave without trying it out!

Try it once bc it's the thing to do when in SD, but only this location. Gaslamp location somehow worse unless you're blasted. Their adobada is probably their best meat. Al pastor was ok but surprisingly lacking in flavor. Carne Asada was all smoke, overwhelming smoke taste and not in a good way. Service was quick with their unique ordering system. They keep the ambiance simple with decently clean tables which is nice considering the large crowds they deal with.

That being said, I ordered a pair of sunshine tacos with their eggs scrambled. The tacos came with delicious re-fried chorizo beans, pico de gallo, house-made red salsa, and garnished with a sliver of fresh avocado at $3.50 a piece. The tacos were delicious. I liked that the corn tortillas had that wet appearance from adding a touch of oil to the hot griddle. The eggs were very well scrambled and seasoned, but what really shined were the beans. They were outstanding. The pico was fresh and tasty, and the house red salsa was very tasty and provided a medium heat. I a little more or larger slice of avocado would be nice. Sophia and Frida were both very nice. Sophia was super welcoming and helpful, and Frida was full of smiles. I love happy service and great food.
