AMAZING experience! I've gone to Canada TWICE solely to get their steak bowl over rice and lettuce. Their pitchers are amazing- super strong! It was my friends birthday and they played happy birthday on the speaker and gave us churros! The wait staff is also super cute which is a plus;). read more

El Gordo - Birthday churros - Mexican Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The decor of this restaurant is very nice and we also liked sitting outside and enjoying the nice spring breeze. They also have drink specials during the afternoon. The menu is short but has enough variety. They also have daily specials that you can order from. We ordered the shrimp tacos, avocado and fish tacos. We also ordered the chips with guacamole and salsa to share. Unfortunately all of the portions were very small and we were still hungry afterwards. Each plate was only served with 2 tacos and some slaw on the side. The chips and dips were also a small portion. read more

Despite the restaurant advertising they're open until 11pm, the staff decided to close the restaurant early at 9pm

Patio season is finally here so wifey and I decided to stop at El Gordo for the first time on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We were seated right away which was fortunate as the patio was completely filled up about 10 minutes later. The staff was very attentive and we ordered lunch within 5 minutes of being seated. My margarita arrived quickly but the starter chips and guacamole took another 35 minutes to hit the table. Well, that timed out nicely for another round but wow the wait was way longer than expected. As usual, my first impressions of a Mexican place start with the quality of the margarita and the chips. Both boxes were checked. El Gordo has a very good selection of tequilas to choose from. I went with a Casamigos Anejo which was pricey but excellent. This is a very traditional margarita with fresh lime juice and a very subtle sweetener (if any). I loved it! The chips were homemade and fresh with lots of sea salt, excellent as well. The guacamole was average, a little too creamy and not much else going on. The salsa was great, vibrant tomatoes with chipotle, nicely done! I ordered chicken tacos with a yummy chipotle sauce and smoked corn. True authentic Mexican aficionado's won't be impressed but the tacos were delicious. They used marinated chicken thighs so the protein stayed moist and of course had a ton of flavour. Barb ordered a chicken salad bowl which had similar chicken and was reportedly excellent as well. A great visit on a spectacular day! read more

Very disappointed in the food today. We got the fried calamari and a small nachos with pulled pork. Only of the fried calamari bowl was actually calamari. The other stuff was fried onions. The batter was very salty and oily. As for the nachos, the pulled pork wasn't even pulled pork. It seemed like chunks of pork chops on some chips. The total for 2 appetizers was almost 40$. Definitely not worth the price. As for the service, the staff were nice but they forgot to give us utensils and napkins and we had to ask to get more water. Don't think I would come back. read more

Update Went on margarita Sunday which is $6.00 and shots are $8.00 if you're in the mood to party. Food isn't cheap and a bit to over priced for what it is. $15 dollars for a plate of 3 small tacos isn't ideal but I do have to give it them flavours wise its good. Salad was $15 which was not big for what it was. Avocado and cherry tomatoes with guacamole smeared on the bowl and a dash of crumbled feta. I wouldn't get it again as it's not worth it. Friendly service and a great vibe going on inside. Wish the location was a bit bigger as it feels up quickly. read more

So despite the bad-ish Yelp reviews me and my friend tried it anyways. We were pleasantly surprised and would definitely come back! Reasons it didn't quite get all 5 stars from me: - I prefer a more tex-mex style margarita that is slushy, this was straight up traditional tequila with lime on the rocks, strong bien sur, but me n Tequila had a messy divorce years ago and we still haven't forgiven eachother. So for me it's a bit 'too tequila' in the straight up version they serve here. This is a personal preference thing not a reason I would necessarily upgrade nor downgrade the score. - The side salad we ordered was just awful. It was boring, tasteless and just blahhhhhh. So much so that I wouldn't even risk ordering a different salad if this is the salad they choose to serve with the dishes. A complete waste of food, we each took 2 bites to give it a chance and decided 'oh hell no this sucks'. An improvement on the side dish would definitely merit an upgraded score. - The mojitos were good-ish...but too much on the sweet side. I think they used a mint that is too douce or maybe a rhum that doesn't have enuf of a kick. I tried ordering it once with no agave hoping that would take care of the too sweet factor, but it was too sour without the agave. Im pretty sure they just need to use a stronger mint and a stronger rhum to improve this one here. Put it this way: it ain't got sh*t on La Distillerie. Again fixing the mojito would definitely merit an upgraded score. - The bathroom is super tiny and there's only 1, fine, except the lock is kinda busted/glitchy which ended up getting me walked in on mid-pee. How embarassing: literally caught w my pants down. I advised the staff and they kinda just said yahh hafta really fight with it to close it properly. Here's an idea guys: maybe have it repaired? Mindblowing, I know, but just a thought. - The prices are a bit too high, either lower the prices, or add an option to order the tacos à la carte for 4-5$ each, or add more tacos to the plate for that price point. I.e. they could either increase the portion for that price or decrease the price for that portion, either way would merit an upgraded score. Ok now let's get to why it ALMOST did get 5 stars: - First, foremost and utmost : ROSALIE, THE AWESOME BARMAID/WAITRESS. She impressed us both 100% when I left for a few minutes. My friend who's a decade older than me and a dude, ordered me my drink with the extra oz of rhum we thought might fix the too-sweet mojito (it didn't). But here's why we love Rosalie: she refused to serve it until I got back. Why? Because who's to say the dude I was with wasn't tryin to get me stoopid drunk to take advantage of me?! Wowwww this chick's got our backs fellow womenz, how fookin lovely is that?! We both couldn't get over it, I'm still floored by her thoughtfulness. I immediately gave her the ok to serve me anything and everything my friend ordered for me in the future and that I totally appreciated her lookin' out. - The service in general: we were genuinely cared for by both staff members our entire 3h stay they even let us keep drinking and ordering right up until their closing minute. We especially appreciated that we were given a heads up so we weren't offended or shocked when they closed at 9:30pm on a Sunday. - The decor, very comfy hipster mexicano and very aesthetically pleasing. Loved all the Sugarskullz around and the wood and leather Texas BBQ vibe. - The Tacos OMG. Yes, yes they're hipster fusion tacos. Don't expect the coveted authenticity some of u food snobs insist upon. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Do add the spiciest salsa of the 3 (offered in generous portion), and don't bother ordering extra sour cream, like we did, you won't need it. The soft corn taco tortillas were perfect too, tasty and fresh. The Tacos: - Colifor : looked dry but ended up being delicious!! Curry chickpeas and cauliflower were the subject of a heated debate of what constitutes a hipster ingredient lol, but hipster or not it tasted damn good, so freaking smart putting this in the tacos. Brilliant. - Pollo Feliz: "Fk yah"! We both swore when we took the first bite, it was that good. Fantastic, by far our favorite and we adored all 3 kinds we tried. Spicy chicken with a good chipotle sauce with a good kick n ohhh soooo yummmm. - Arracha : supposedly spicier than the pollo feliz, but we found less spicy. They were delicious as well with juicy tender chunky beef cooked to perfection and tasted great with the spicy salsa! I'm not sure why people rated this spot so low I thought they did a really good job at offering a delicious product in a nice comfortable environment with attentive service. read more

Sunday is probably the best time to visit because the margaritas are half price at $6.00. You get a well made cocktail, hitting the right balance between tart and sweet..... but not sure I would pay full price due to it's size and the amount of ice in it. Tacos are on the small side (3 for $12) but they are stuffed full of ingredients to make the most of it's size. We had the brisket and pork al pastor tacos. I found that the flavor was lacking in authenticity and the meat to be a little dry. The copious amount of toppings helped with texture and flavor, but I wanted more from the meat itself. Not the most authentic tacos I've had but a good meal on a Sunday night. read more

I went there recently for a girl's night. As the night went on, the music (and people) got much louder, and the lights were dimmed to set the mood. To start, I ordered a delicious and refreshing pineapple margarita. Having been here before, I knew that one order of tacos each wasn't enough to fill us up. So we ordered the vegetarian & chicken empanadas served with homemade salsa. Each order of empanadas gets you two empanadas for $9. That salsa is so good they should sell it by the jar! The empanadas were yummy but a little overpriced. What's fun here is to share. We ordered three orders of tacos at $12 per order. We tried the Pescado tacos (grilled cod fish with creamy slaw, mango & avocado), the Brisket tacos (spicy braised beef with creamy slaw & pico de gallo), and the PFG tacos (fried chicken with chipotle mayo, creamy slaw & cilantro). I found the pescado to be too salty, and while the fried chicken was good, my favourite was the brisket. So flavourful and juicy! I would definitely order that one again. To finish off this yummy Mexican meal, we ordered churros for dessert. They were good but definitely not the best I've had in Montreal. At around $45 each, it's a little bit pricey but we had a great time and sampled some delicious food in a trendy atmosphere on Notre Dame Street. read more

This spot seems to always be busy so I decided to stop in late one night when the restaurant was less crowded, however even then, a spot on their outside terrace was not possible! The location on a corner of Little Burgundy attracts the masses but after trying their tacos and a cocktail, I couldn't understand why?! Portions are small and pricy. The tacos de arrachera were good but not great, and at 16$ for three, were not really worth it. The "chef cartel" cocktail, made with rum, jalapeño, hibiscus, mint and pineapple, sounded interesting but was missing punch. The venue is nicely decorated, very informal, and a great spot to maybe share a sangria with friends, but I wouldn't go back for the food. read more

With a stomach that was begging for something to eat I can easily tell you that tacos are always on my mind, I came here for a random get together with friends and I found this gem. El Gordo Tacos provides the ambiance of a small Mexican dinner and the casual fixtures of Montreal. The service staff was there and provided me with answers to all my questions. Beer is a must if you're not too sure what you want. I felt like be adventurous and ordered the Lamb nachos. No, no you read right... LAMB. Can I say that these were delicious! The sweetness of the corn and the spiciness of the peppers were just great. With the nachos I ordered 4 tacos for the small price of 10$.. in which you get what you pay for and that's it. They were tasty but nothing I haven't tried before... but those nachos though...*insert droll pic. Overall I was very surprised on what they offered and didn't leave with an empty stomach. This place is worth a shot and also take advantage of their small terrace! read more

Since it's a beautiful day, and I am hungry; I felt to have lunch at an outdoor terrace. We were on Notre Dame street; my mom spots El Gordo, looks very busy. She says if it is busy then it must be good. Despite the restaurant being busy, the waitress was able to give a spot outside. It was a while for the waitress to come to us to take our order, but the service was super friendly. I ordered El criminal (a platter with two chicken soft tacos, salad, guacamole with chips, and churro with dolce leche. As a drink, I got a white wine sangria. In honesty, there was nothing extraordinary about the taste. I had better sangrias. The company was good, the weather was perfect... so we enjoyed our time in the restaurant. I still have to find the perfect tacos in Montreal. read more

I came here because my friend recommended it. It was very packed and we were not able to sit out on the terasse. We ended up inside. I ordered calamaris, chili and a piña colada. Ughh they definitely did the piña colada wrong they used agave syrup which is not what you put in a classic piña colada :/ you usually use cocnut milk or cream and i didnt taste that at all. Pretty disappointed with that! The service: was a little slow but super friendly The food: The calamaris were really delicious that I can tell you! The chilli was great a little too spicy for me but very Delicious ! I love that white drizzle on top it had a sweet kick to the the chilli. Overall, it's a cute little resto but I believe there are better taco places in montreal. I don't think I'll be back. The piña colada really turned me off because it wasn't the original classic ingredients that were used. read more

As a place to chill and grab a quick bite it did the job, just didn't particularly stand out to us. read more

Hm. Came here for mac n cheese week, and we were promised the entree would be too much for one person to finish (it was $17). Basically a burrito with mac n cheese and brisket inside. I understand why they said that, because it was terribly greasy. Tasty, but definitely not worth the price. The shrimp and chorizo tacos were pretty artesan, but then again, a bit too small. We came without a reservation, so they said we had to leave by a certain time. Service was alright, they weren't rushing us, but they kept asking if we wanted drinks. Seating was also not ideal, the bar stools didn't give us much space to put our bags and coats...or lean back. read more

Was pretty disappointed with the prices and the level of service. I lived in Texas for a few years before moving back to Montreal so I know what Mexican and Tex-Mex (yes, there's a difference) food is supposed to taste like. So the food tasted average but the length of time we waited to get 3 small tacos for such a high price was a bit shocking. I should have expected it when I saw how small the calamari app was even though the price was $12. I've had better tacos from food trucks and I waited 5 minutes for that. So pretty much a one time place for me. I can't deal with a place that takes over 1 hour to bring water to a table after requesting it; yeah, we timed it. Maybe the regulars here are ok with it. I'll leave the place to them. PS: I've never been ANYWHERE that charges "market price" for "Chips and Guacamole". Seriously? Avocados are now a market price item? Unbelievable. What a joke. read more

Fatso - that's the name and also the size of your bill except you ain't getting fat here.

Go across to Dilallo's after unless you plan to go hungry. read more

Where once we had very limited taqueria options in Montreal, now every neighbourhood seems to have one. No complaints on my end although it is hard to give them all a try. For the occasion of a friend's birthday and just a good Friday Happy Hour, I found myself recently at a taco bar that opened up in Little Burgundy just a short walk from my place, El Gordo Taco Bar. Started by the same group that owns the neighbouring Geppetto pizzeria, El Gordo is a smallish bar specializing in tacos and other Mexican fare. With the summer weather, they have a nice terrasse out-front off Notre-Dame that increases seating. The space has a nice look to it - Day of the Dead motif and lots of natural lighting through the big windowed facade. Once crowded, the space is pretty loud but the ambience is solid. Any good bar needs some cocktails and El Gordo satisfied that nicely. Their classic Margherita with agave nectar, fresh lime juice and tequila is nicely balanced. The sweetness of the agave and the fresh lime helped to soften the tequila hit. The Pineapple express with bulleit bourbon, fresh pineapple juice, cilantro and lime was similarly balanced. All the cocktails are available by the pitcher which is a great for a group as we were! A couple of starters before the tacos. First was the chips and guacamole. The guac was pretty smooth in texture and had lots of lime juice. A little bit of queso fresco on top added a little twist. The plantain empanadas were served with a spicy paste that my girlfriend enjoyed a fair bit. The empanadas had nice crunch to them but they were not that exciting flavour-wise. El Gordo has 9 standard taco flavours and a special of the day. The standard dish has 3 tacos each and they are pretty small size-wise. For me personally, 3 wasn't enough to satisfy my hunger although the server said as much to me ahead of time. Just be aware of that when you order. My girlfriend ended up regretting not ordered more as she was still hungry later on. The good news is that each taco only comes up to 3-4$ a piece so the price is fair. I tried 3 varieties on this visit. First were the chorizo tacos - served with pickled onions, habareno jam, queso fresco and salsa verde. All the tacos are served on soft tortillas which is my preference. Nothing of that hard shell B.S. The chorizo was nice and tender and the rest of the topping provided a slightly sweet and spicy edge. The second variety was spicy braised beef brisket with creamy apple and cabbage slaw and pico de gallo. Another hit to us. The smoky brisket was excellent and I really enjoyed the slaw and the hint of sweetness that came from the use of apples. The pico de gallo added some extra freshness. The final variety was the special of the day and my personal favourite of the night - fried chicken with guacamole, chipotle mayo and creamy coleslaw. I really enjoy the extra crunch provided by the fried chicken. The addition of the guacamole made these tacos feel a little more hearty and the mayo really had a kick to it. The big negative of the evening was the service. Over the course of the evening, we had two different errors on our order - once our entrees "disappeared from the computer" and in the process of re-ordering, our waitress forgot the nachos we had asked for originally. Second time, my friend's order of ceviche was mistook for "vege" tacos. Now, we didn't make an issue of the nachos as by the time we figured out she had forgot them, we were ready to move out anyway. However, two errors like that are not really acceptable regardless of how nice the servers were in acknowledging the mistakes. Good tacos, excellent drinks and a nice decor - El Gordo definitely has a place as a solid happy hour and dinner location. The lack of good happy hour spots around the Market plus the fact that they open at 3pm weekdays and don't take reservations means that El Gordo can certainly fill a nice niche. A few service tweaks and I would be satisfied. I'm just happy I have excellent tacos to enjoy so close by. Cheers! read more

I went for a drink at this place ... and we had to take some food with our drinks ... So we ordered the arrachera tacos .!!!

I just created a restaurant page to give it a one star review so know that anything I say next is from the heart. We came to this place because of the $2 taco Tuesdays advertised on their website but what we got was more than we bargained for. 1. The service at this place was ridiculous. We were seated at the bar and the waiter hardly looked as us as we ordered. He grunted one word answers and then almost left without taking one of our orders. No problem right? It's a busy night and these are $2 tacos. 2. We looked over the menu at the special and ordered What we thought were 2-3 tacos each. The waiter grunted and took our menus away. When he came back he brought a tray of what looked like 3 amuse-bouche versions of a inauthentic hipster taco (complete with pomegranate seeds and dried out chicken) for each taco we had ordered. We were surprised but these were 2$ tacos. 3. We finish and ask for the bill... which takes 15 mins to arrive. When it does instead of a $16 bill. It's a $70 BILL without drinks or anything. The waiter announces that the Tuesday taco special (advertised on their website and menu!!) no longer available and when we point to the menu, he grunts angrily that he'll be calling his manager and disappears only to reappear angrier and ruder than before as of WE were the incompetent idiots with a corrected bill. He then makes a big show of throwing out the faulty menus in front of us. On the upside, the mojitos look pretty. There are so many good taco places in the area so do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. read more

After reading so many awful reviews I was pretty worried about this place. The reviews almost scared me away but decided to try it for myself and I'm so glad I did. We ordered the vegan and portobello tacos with guacamole/ salsa and chips and two drinks. The whole bill came to 70$ including tip which I find really expensive for what we got. But overall we had a positive experience. The waitress took our order quickly and returned with our drinks right away. Our chips came shortly after. I do feel that the chip portion was on the low side for the amount of guacamole and salsa. Our tacos came before we were even finished our appetizer. The tacos were flavourful and cooked well. Normally I am still hungry after ordering tacos in general but these tacos were really packed despite being so small. Overall the experience was great. If it was slightly cheaper this would be a regular spot for me. read more

We are here as a group of four and the consensus was that we would rate it either 3 or 3.5 based on the following things we ate. Service was ok. The chips and salsa and the calamari were plain. Tomato and avocado salad was excellent. We tried four different types of tacos - each came as 3 soft shell tacos. The tacos we tried were shrimp (very good), pork (good), chicken (good) and lamb (good). Apparently you can get salsa (squeeze bottles with spicy sauces) with the tacos (all the other tables had it) but we only noticed after we were finished eating - guess our server forgot! Although the tacos looked small all of us were full afterwards and most of us enjoyed the flavours. Nice decor and good atmosphere - lively and fun. If we were to come back we agreed it would probably be more likely for drinks (though my mojito was nothing special) read more

I came here because it is super close to where I live. I'm typically not a big fan of mexican food but I have to say that their tacos are super tasty and so are their cocktails. The place look nice, it is as fun outside as inside. The service could be better but, what really makes me having a love-hate relationship with this place are the prices. Too expensive for what you get. I think everyone that have been there can agree on that. read more

Went there twice. The food is decent, some good vegetarian options- had the tofu and the portobello tacos. Both were good. Also loved their empanadas. We ordered salsa however, and it was not that tasty. The service is not the best, they forget to bring some tables hot sauce and serve tables that came in later before those who were waiting longer. The cocktails are a big miss. We tried different ones, and they are very pricey and not tasty. All in all, it's fun in the summer if you are walking by and can get a table outside, and stick to the beer. read more

Terrible margaritas, weather you like a real margarita with grand mariner or a skinny margarita with agave, they serve straight lime juice and tequila. The fish they used in the fish tacos wasn't fresh. The rest of the food was passable but completely mediocre.

If you're curious and hungry check it out but otherwise there's no point. It's fairly standard tacos at a premium price. The fried calamari also had the batter falling almost completely off and the margarita tasted somewhat bitter, like it was made with a lime juice from concentrate. read more

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant!!! I love the ambiance, the Latin music and the food is deliciouuuuus. The Gordo salad (all their salads for that matter) are soooo good and their tacos, OMG they bring them in this chiseled pot with 3 cups filled with dressing, guacamole, tomato and cheese. The portobello sandwich is amazing! To be honest, I would try everything in their menu. I went there by coincidence because Foiegwa was closed and we didn't check the hours. So, my friend and I walked around and stumbled upon it. The place is a little small but I liked it because it felt so cozy. Anyways, despite the negative reviews I gave it a try and I highly recommend it. I go there every 2 weeks now. They also have special deals on weekends. read more

Well, it was a nice effort but extremely poor execution. Tacos are cold, beef over cooked and dry, shrimp and chorizo was drenched in sauce. Everything only comes in 3. No exceptions. Music choices feel like a low end resort in an awful country. We were amused writing this because of just how bad it is. I tried 3 times. Every time it was just as bad. Oh well. Never coming back. Try other great options in the hood. read more

To give some context, I love Mexican food. I've both lived and visited Mexico more times than I can count on my hand. So here is my take on El Gordo. If you like Micheladas or Cheladas (beer seasoned with lime and spices), don't even bother ordering it - the barmaid acted as if she knew it, but it was just terrible. Maybe the barmaid had a bad night, but her attention to service was meh. As for food, I didn't try to go too fancy, I stuck to basics - tacos de arrachera (skirt steak). I doubt there was a full ounce of meat on the four little tacos combined -- $16. And if anyone knows tacos, you do not serve tacos without limes and salt - you just don't, period. Very disappointing. Just a wannabe fancy fusion mex with a rustic/contemporary decor stereotypical of el dia de los muertos. Don't waste your money if you know Mexican food for real. read more

Not sure what to say, margarita's were mediocre at best, no salted rim or asked if. We wanted it. No grand mariner, Cointreau or even triple sec when we asked to have it in our drinks. seeing that commonly makes a great margarita. As for the tacos, it's 3 tiny tacos. Which is fine, but the staff ( which is non existent ) could inform the clients as to how many to order, seeing we were with 3 hungry guys who got their plates with 6 bites. I had high hopes seeing we only go out in this area and that's who returns to your establishment. Serves us right for not going to satay brothers, but wanted to try something new. read more

Pretty awful and cringeworthy. The restaurant is not air conditioned so be ready to sweat buckets. Food is overpriced for what you get--$45, before tax and tip, for a cocktail, a plate of nachos split 4 ways, and 3 of the smallest soft shell tacos I've ever seen. We're talking maybe 3 inches in diameter. Nachos are not served with anything, guacamole, sour cream and salsa is all extra. Guacamole is also listed as "Market price"? Weird. Steak tacos were cold and chewy. Beware the service--likely from the owner. After our nachos he came by, tossed all of our food to the right of the table without saying anything (he knocked over the bowl of guacamole and shoved my arm in the process) and then promptly sat a family of four...right at our table. I've never experienced something so incredibly awkward and bizarre. He took our water jug, put it on their side, then took our water glasses--which I drank out of--and put it in front of them. That family somehow got their tacos before we did, ate, left, then another group of 3 came and were seated right at our table--elbow to elbow--again. Never, ever going back here. Terrible food and most awkward, uncomfortable dining experience. read more
