Let me first start off this review by saying I have been eating at el gordo for years now. Over the past few months the prices have gone up and the portions have gone way down at this location only. I don't mind paying the 14$ for a quesadilla but when it has barely any asada and is just a cheese it feels like a rip off. read more

Always a solid place for tasty eats that are affordable. I usually Ubereats order, and the food is always spot on and fresh. Definitely a great Mexican breakfast, and will be a regular whether visiting the location or ordering through Ubereats! read more

Been DYING to try this place forever. Ordered 2 pollo tacos 4.55 and 2 cane asada street tacos, 2.95. Asked to add Pico to the street tacos. They charged me $3.60 just for the pico. I said they should have told me and I would have passed. When I got the tacos, there was about 1 tablespoon of Pico on each. I complained and requested a side of pico for my almost $4. Very not cool. read more

My husband and I have been watching the Taco Chronicles on Netflix, last week we finished the Al Pastor episode and let me tell you, we have been craving it ever since. We knew we'd have a few days in Apache Junction this week, so we started searching for a place, and as soon as we saw that this place had good reviews for Al Pastor, we plugged it into the GPS. El Gordo's did not disappoint! My husband ordered three regular tacos, the Al Pastor, Birria and Cabeza. I ordered three regular tacos, Al Pastor, Birria and Carne Asada. The Carne Asada wasn't my favorite, it was good, just not a ton of flavor. But the Birria and the Al Pastor were the best! Absolutely delicious. I only put 4 stars because my father in law ordered the Carnitas taco and the Carne Asada and he didn't care for the flavor or texture, just not tender enough. But everything else was muy bueno. read more

It's better than expensive Filiberto's! At least the food is seasoned and has good flavor.

Showed up at 9:30 and was closed half the time there out of beans so have to replace my side and no bean burrito.

My partner ordered from them via Uber Eats as he had a promotion and they had a discount. He ordered 3 cabeza tacos, 2 barbacoa, and wings. He said on their menu they just have wings and fries and he put in the order noted asking for no fries but perhaps a few more wings. They honored his request. The food was hot and smelled so good through the bag. Both the barbacoa and cabeza were so tender with the barbacoa melting in my mouth. Their red and green sauces are good and pack a really nice heat. The tortilla were soft and the limes juicy (can't stand a dried out lime). The wings were cooked well. Meaty and they have a good ranch. Will definitely order from here again. read more

This is my go to hands down the quesabirria streetstacos quesadillas im let's just say I think I might've tried everything on the menu and if I haven't my family has we love this place read more

Sun 3/20 at noon I ordered 2 of the taco plates! Their menu SHOWS 2 tacos with "$3.25" next to it. I naturally expected 4 Tacos with "2 orders". Instead I got one box with 2 tacos! I said I wanted 2 orders. He opens the box and said "there's 2". I said again I paid almost $8. I wanted 2 orders. Apparently the tacos are $3.25 EACH even though the menu clearly shows 2 TACOS with $3.25 next to it!!! Then, he acts like I'M stupid! For one thing, I do high end tech support, and you're a cashier at a taco stand, and you're gonna act like I'm dumb?!? For another thing, they can't even make their menu accurate. AND 2 orders should come in 2 boxes!! Hello!! Put an "Each" on the menu. Don't treat your customer like they're stupid just because you have no clue how to make a menu correctly!! I absolutely won't be back!!! read more

El Gordo Mexican Grill - $3.25 and 2 Tacos. Deceptive at best! - Mexican Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

AMAZING! I got the pastor burrito as a combo meal and the strawberry churro. The pastor was delicious and saucy! The churro was warm and tasty. Quick service and great price! read more

Okay I stopped by here a few minutes ago and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the carne asada taco plate it was good. The staff was friendly and the convenience of a drive through food truck was awesome! I'm usually not too impressed with most food trucks but folks this is a good one. Also there is a drive through liquor store in the same parking lot which is where I purchased the Dos Equis XX pictured. Last but not least everyone remember to post the GOOD reviews not just the angry Bad reviews. It's easy to forget to post sometimes when you had a good time. read more

Real carne asada plate with amazing rice and beans! Thank god some real Mexican food in this hick town

So frustrated right now!! I ordered birria tacos that are clearly on their menu and this place doesn't know how to make them. I attempted to ask them to fix the order and they argued with me that I ordered the wrong item. Ummm I said Birria tacos....not sure how much more specific I needed to be. The taco shells were soft corn tortillas, and no cheese. They also did not give us the dipping soup that should come with them. I clearly told the guy I ordered from at least twice that I wanted birria. My taco order was over $70 which included a 20% tip. It's so unfortunate they couldn't get the order right and even argued with me. read more

Best birria in town. Fast, fresh, good price. Plenty filling. Food truck you can drive up to.

Ordered a Pastor burrito - got it COLD. They said it was because of the sour cream and veggies in it!!!???? Wouldn't give refund so they fixed up another one. This was was hot - but all the meat was at one end and the veggies at the other. Didn't go back. I already went back to take the cold one back. This is the second time the order was messed up. No more ever again will I return. See the picture of the hot sauce attached. IT WASN'T COLD SO IT WASN'T FROZEN!!!!!??????? This place is the shitter as far as I'm concerned. read more

El Gordo Mexican Grill - This is the hot sauce I got. I lifted it out of the cup. Kind of scary since it wasn't frozen. - Mexican Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

Got the super burrito after a day of hiking and that burrito slapped so damn hard. Perfect amount of everything and every bite was amazing.
