I love the food been going for over 3 years, but the counter service has been getting worse and worse. Seems like they have attitudes. Shame. I'm chill and nice. Some of the gals are so nice others attitude. I don't owe anyone shit. I'm very polite. Hate white people.

I had the carnitas tostada. It was flavorful with great beans. He had the bacon breakfast burrito and liked it. Free chips and salsa bar, but I prefer thin warm chips. Heat lamp didn't do anything. Service was fast even though the place was 90% full. Prices were reasonable. We'll be back to try their tamales, street tacos and chili Relleno. read more

This was so good! Birria Flautas were AMAZING! We ordered and got our food very quick. They have free chips and salsa set up that was convenient while we waited for food. read more

The food is delicious and free chips is a plus too. The service overall is good too as they're fats and efficient and overall make the meals requested. There was only one time where my mom asked for no guacamole due to her avocado allergies but they sadly didn't hear and accidentally gave her guacamole still regardless. But the atmosphere is also good as it has good music and beautiful decorations. The salsa selection could be better though as there isn't much to choose from. The only other major problem is the pricing now as it has gotten expensive. In the end it still is a good place to eat and go to for a quick bite. read more

SOOOO good! Their Carne Asada street tacos are the BEST!! Yummy food and very clean! Service is also great!

Went here 25 minutes before a movie and waited 20 minutes, saw a people who ordered after me get food so I then went up to the counter. The lady said how the kiosk that she watched me use doesn't actually work to give them the order. They then spent another 5 minutes trying to figure out how to give me a refund, and ended up giving me cash and change. Personally I hate carrying change so I was really annoyed that they couldn't figure out how to refund it through the card. read more

I ordered two simple meals of rellenos, rice & beans. And in my portion there were two more older rellenos that smelt old/rotten. Wow. I was shocked. I paid 33.86 for these two meals. Do not eat here. There's no professionalism or pride in work here. read more

Try not to come here between 5-7. It gets ridiculous crowded and there's only 4 people behind the counter. My order got mixed up with someone else's and I was in a rush so I bought a $5 burrito for $15. Not too thrilled. Otherwise, normal hours the portions and orders are fantastic! read more

What did we order? Carnitas burrito, add egg, no pico Does it have guac? Yes What did we get? Carnitas burrito with egg, extra pico and no guac. (They definitely charged for the guac) This is two times in a row they screwed up and charged extra for something they didn't give. Never giving my hard earned money to them ever again. read more

I stopped by on a Wednesday around 1pm. There were a few people dining already in the clean and brightly colored dining area. The gal at the register was friendly and helpful, pointing out that the daily special was Quesabirria tacos for $2.75 each. I ordered three of them and a big Mexican Coke. They came out quickly and I wasn't disappointed. The consume was flavorful and rich. The tacos were cheesy and meaty and when dipped - que Rico! So delicious! I'll be back to try some of their other items on their big menu. read more

El Gordo Mexican Grill - 35. Quesabirrias, Mexican Coke - Mexican Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

I am a longtime customer of Aliberto's and Gordo's and the prices continue to climb which I've paid, but the size has gotten small, smaller and small smaller so that you are no longer a good value, even at a sit down restaurant, larger burritos for the same price. There is too much competition , and Gordos has gotten too greedy. It's kind of crazy. I might add to put a tip request on your drive-through. :( read more

Never ordered delivery food. It's never right. Order the Carne Asada plate with extra corn tortillas and got none. The food is excellent, but you need to go in to get the proper order. It's the fourth time it's been wrong. read more

A tad pricey for me, but it always delivers. I like the different takes on loaded fries, but my favorite is still OG carne asada fries. I have not gotten to try the Jefe fries yet but they look good! read more

Good food at a good price. We love it for a fast meal. My husband recommends the quesabirria and I LOVE the Super Burrito. It is huge and delicious. read more

My husband and I have ate lunch here 6 times in the past 6 months and EVERY time it is an amazing experience. The fries are crispy and that animal sauce is FIRE!!!! The painted benches are so cute and the prices are reasonable. If we want a great lunch, we choose here! I wish I had pictures of our yummy food and favorites but we inhaled it before remembering! read more

The menu is pretty extensive, tacos, street tacos, tamales, burritos and various plate combos. Service was very fast and they were actively cleaning the tables. I had three street tacos: asada which came with grilled onions, pollo and carnitas. The last two also came with some avocado sauce, plus s grilled jalapeño. The food is a good value - tacos are well loaded with ingredients, there is a small salsa bar that also has pickled carrots (yum!), limes and chips. I had the three tacos plus a side of beans all for under $12. My disappointment was with the carnitas and chicken as I found a couple of gristly meat bits, the asada was better. The beans were just OK, nothing special. I wish more Mexican restaurants served charro or whole beans as an option, or used less lard in the beans to give them a thicker texture. read more

I got myself some carne asada fries and they were so delicious the carne was good quality and everything was loaded on ( I'm from phx I came to Prescott to visit and I usually get Filiberto's ) my boyfriend got the 5 rolled tacos and they were delicious as well, we got two large horchatas and they were good too. I would have to say that these are the best carne asada fries I've ever had in my life. The service was fast as we went to the drive through and the cashier was a nice lady. The place was a cute hidden place in the corner, I'd definitely come here again!!!! We paid $33 for the carne asada fries, 5 rolled tacos and two large horchatas. It was worth the money!!! read more

El Gordo Mexican Grill - 19. Carne Asada Fries - Mexican Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

Super burrito, not so super. Asada was leathery and had a gamey flavor and seemed like missing cheese. Not an $18 burrito.

The food is delicious. I always get a crispy chicken taco with sides of pico and refried beans.

Hands down this is the best Mexican food in the tri city area . The menu has something for everyone.

Looks like I'm going to have to add El gordos as my daily on my foodie list. I had to have the Johnny breakfast burrito, as that is my name(corny, I know!). It's delicious, from the char of the carne asada to the potatoes. The friendly service is a cherry on top. Definitely coming back! read more

I give it a 3 out of 5. It's your standard, drive through, canned enchilada sauce, kinda bland, plane unmexican, mexican food. Not bad, not good. I'm from San Diego, where the Mexican food is amazing. I really wish they would step up there game out here. They would make millions with just a few tweaks to the recipes. read more

best mexican food in prescott. get the queso birria and carne asada tacos. the food is consistent and yummy

Oh man, this was pretty darn tasty! When you walk in the place it's nothing super special, just your average order at the counter and have a seat and eat type a place. But it sure smelled good when I walked in. Tables were a little dirty, which is really the only reason for the 4 stars. But we were greeted well enough and the service was prompt. The food, was awesome. Not sure why so many bad reviews, might be some super specific experiences, I didn't read through too many. I got the quesabirria tacos, which were packed full of flavor, hot, and even better dipping them in the consome! Everything you would want a birria taco to be. The wife had the carne asada burrito, which was as tasty as such a burrito should be, but it was definitely the birria tacos that let me know these folks knew what they are doing. Not a bad little spot overall. Check 'em out. read more

They have an abundance of food.It's always cooked to order And very delicious. You never go home hungry.

El Gordo has been a great option for a quick meal where Mexican food is desired. It is very authentic with specialities such as birria, cabeza, sopes, etc., are available. Personally I love the cabeza burrito where the tasty head meat is tender and flavorful. All in all, all their food is tasty. read more

Friendly staff and good food I recommend and don't forget to ask about their lunch specials

First time here and will be the last. I ordered two tacos with beans and rice and extra sour cream. The sour cream was the consistency of water and smelled off. I asked for a new sour cream and was told that's the last one. How does a Mexican restaurant run out of sour cream at 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon? The beans looked weird but tasted okay. For almost $14, I expected more. I gave 2 stars because my husband said his enchilada were okay. Save your money. There are much better places near by. Update: after asking for my money back, they immediately paid back the money for both meals and apologized. It wasn't a good experience, however, they were very good about that. read more

This is the most disgusting Mexican food I've tried in my life I tasted the beans but even before I did, they look weird so after I tasted, I had to spit it out because it was so disgusting immediately I looked at the burrito and I knew what was gonna happen I tasted it and it was as bad as the beans, but I didn't want to force myself to eat it and then get sick. I got ripped off because I had to throw the food away and I left a tip. read more

THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT FOOD ALLERGIES!!!! I ordered Pastor Street Tacos without guacamole because I am allergic to Avocado, and when I ate my first taco my throat felt itchy, and now I'm breaking out in hives. Turns out they put guacamole on my taco and then tried to scrape it off instead of just remaking it. Luckily my allergy isn't super life threatening and I don't have to go to the hospital, but do NOT come here if you are worried about allergies!! I know I wont read more
