WARNING, THIS PLACE IS A TRAP. To give you background, we're well-traveled and work in the food/beverage industry. The margaritas we ordered had zero alcohol. When we told them, he dumped tons of "tequila" into our drinks. One sip and we both knew there was still no alcohol and what he added was fake m. (42% of alcohol is) This scared us as methanol poisoning could happen--so we didn't drink more. The food was average, but where it became a struggle was paying. First, they tried to trick us by giving us a $220 bill for tacos and a margarita. When we refused, they said, "whoops, that's someone else's bill." Then they tried to charge us $30 per drink by saying the cups were ours to keep--at no point was this discussed. mentioned. Then, when we had negotiated the price to what was acceptable to us, but still crazy, they said that if we used a credit card we'd need to add 15% to the bill, so we paid in cash. As we were leaving, they demanded a tip. We just left as it was clear this was all a scam. We ran into another group off our tour boat that we saw eating here and they too were scammed. AVOID. read more

The tacos are great but every time I go they are smaller some how. Like literally one bite of meat per taco. Too expensive for the greedy little proportions. read more

El Gordo Taqueria - Tiny bit of meat in these tacos. Too expensive for this amount food. These should be 1$ not 2.50$ - Food Stands Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Ami me encantaba este lugar hemos hido aquí x años cuando primero empezaron estaba todo muy rico y no caro ahora le han subido mucho el precio para los taquitos que dan y para acabar la salsa es horrible. Tenían una salsa tan rica y picosa como debería de ser la comida mexicana ahora sabe a pura agua. Intentamos ir 2-3 veces mas xq la carne eso si muy buena y fresca pero sin salsa no funciona. Demasiado caro y salsa no buena Tristemente perdí mi lugar favorito para los tacos. :( I loved this place, we have been going there for years when they first started it was all very tasty and not expensive now they have raised the price a lot for the little taquitos they give and to finish the sauce is horrible. They had a sauce as good and spicy as Mexican food should be, now it tastes like pure water. We try to go 2-3 times more because the meat is very good and fresh but without sauce it does not work. Too expensive and sauce not good Sadly I lost my favorite taco place read more

It's pretty good I love the torta I had, not much seating. Chairs a wonky but good is amazing. Torta de Al pastor is what I ordered

The tacos al pastor are VERY good, however, I take off one star because they're really small and expensive for their size. 100% much better than the taquería right in front of it. read more

This is a small stand in a parking lot, very close to where I work. I have been twice now and it is very inconsistent. I noticed that the food was markedly better during the day than the evening. Some co workers corroborated the same story. Other than that, it is what you expect for street meat tacos. They have buche, pollo, carne asada, barbacoa and al pastor spinning on the gyros meat spinner in front. They recently paved a patio for themselves which makes the location more appealing. There were previously a bit north on Pecos in a much smaller stand near the Lowe's Mercado. Definitely worth a try and cheap! read more

We got carryout. The tacos are small corn tortillas filled halfway with meat on some. You get two tortillas for each taco. Nothing special about the tortillas (store bought maybe) the Asada tacos were moist and had onion and cilantro. The pastor tacos weren't as moist (shame because I really like pastor tacos) and also included the onions and cilantro. Upon request you may get red or green salsa and additional cilantro and onion. The green sauce taste is mild. The red sauce is hot lol which is interesting as I normally have habanero sauce and my tongue has never burned like it did with this red sauce. Bonus points :) 4 small street tacos for $6 is cheap eats However, because of the inconsistencies in the amount of the meat between the tacos and the flavor on the pastor. Also, this being my second attempt to try them out. The first time they were closed early. I do not live close which was very disappointing. I will not go out of my way to eat here but if I'm in neighborhood and want a cheap option I would get me 4 tacos de Carne Asada con salsa de roja! read more

The prices are super cheap! However, it's sub-par Mexican food for nearly a 30 minute wait. The staff was nice and friendly. No public restrooms, no place to park (that isn't in some other business' lot) and all seating area is outside. read more

I love finding little gems like this, this place is definitely a small place, resembling a small red house that serves Mexican food. I was definitely impressed by the low prices and the good authentic food. Decided to try the carne asada gorditas. They are a tad small but very delicious and fairly inexpensive. Will definitely come back and excited to try some of the other things on their menu. read more

Gorditas and torta were amazing you can taste the quality. This is now my place to go. They forgot to add lettuce tomatos and mayo to my torta but it was still great will be back tonight. read more

This place is chinsee high prices for small amount of food the tortas are soggy and small and you get 4 tacos for 6 bucks and they're little street tacos not worth it read more

$.99 tacos and they are absolutely delicious. This is exactly the bang for buck authentic Mexican spot I was hoping for on my way home from work. They have a fairly large menu and I look forward to trying their cheeseburgers and especially the nachos. Got to work on my Spanish a little with the cute girl at the register. A+ wish I lived closer!!! read more
