We wanted to try this after passing it several times. The food truck is clean and the street is between factories after the Arco Gas Station. The platter is between 18 & 20 dollars but so worth it. We feed four people with this platter, I should have ordered more rice and beans!!! The rice is fluffy and tender and the refried beans are the best we've had. The bbq ribs are so yummy from the rub and cooking, tender, moist and the best I've had in years. The asada, chicken, and sausage are all cooked to perfection! This is the best bbq that we've found in a food truck! The salsa comes in mild hot to ver hot depending on your preference! The cooks/ chefs are quick and friendly. We meet the owner on our visit and she said they are gonna have carnitas soon- my favs! Now I have to go back for them!! A Must when in Irwindale!!! read more

Best caterer ever! We've hired Jose and his team for several of our events, and he consistently brings his A-game. The food is always full of flavor, and the presentation is professional and impressive. He and his staff arrive in uniform, adding an extra touch of sophistication. Our guests always leave impressed. We highly recommend Gordos for any event and will definitely continue using their services! read more

Jose and team did an amazing job at my MIL's celebration of life! They were there early and ready for us when the service ended. Everyone enjoyed the fire grilled steak and were raving about the chicken "it was yummy and it wasn't dry". The Aguas Fresca were a crowd pleaser, but I think a lot of people enjoy the churros the most, lol Thanks for helping us celebrate my MIL! read more

Wood grilled meats: asada, al pastor, and chicken. Highly recommend! Best taco man tacos I've had. So much flavor! He went around a picked up empty plates. That was a nice surprise. Definitely going to book for our next party! read more

Thank you Jose, "Gordos" for catering our daughter's birthday. Your food was delicious and you were right, the amount was perfect!!! Appreciate your customer service. Until next time...... ~C D read more

This is the second year we have had Gordos cater our Christmas Party at UltraFlex Fitness in Monrovia. For 100 people. The first time was so good we had them the second year. And the second year even better. 100% compliments on the food from all who attended. Super easy to do business with and very reliable. Very nice people which always makes you want to do business with again. Can't say enough praises. You will be happy with your decision to use them for your next event. Brian read more

My PERSONAL opinion, you won't be disappointed! First & foremost, the customer service from the owner of Gordos is phenomenal. He's personable & friendly. There's something to be said about great customer service during these times where it seems lost. So, for this alone I'd be a repeat customer. However, I'll be a repeat customer in addition to the quality of tacos that match the quality of customer service. I could smell the flavor in the air & I could not wait to get home to eat. The flavor matched the aroma. This was some of the best wood fire grilled asada I've had in a street taco. It had none of the fat & all of the flavor. The meat was my favorite part. The smokiness, tenderness & flavor were spot on for the perfect street taco. I had traditional toppings & red salsa that added completeness to an already delicious taco. Next time, I'll have beans & rice, but for now, the tacos are the star of Gordo's show! I ate so fast I forgot to get pictures. In the infamous words of Backpack from Dora the Explorer, "Yum, Yum, Yum, Delicioso"! read more

Gordos tacos are super delicious as the meat are cook using a wood fire grill. One bite and you can taste the wood fire flavor. Jose the owner is great! He provided excellent food and service for my daughter's birthday party. Their handmade corn tortillas were great. They did a nacho bar for me along with Mexican corn esquites style which was a big hit!! read more

Thank you Jose from Gordo's! I cannot thank you enough for being able to accommodate us super last minute for the baby shower on Saturday. Everyone loved the tacos they were super delicious! Ps- hope the family enjoyed the treats read more

Awesome food and amazing service for my daughter's birthday party! Even got the delicious churros!

The rumors are true..... this place is all that.. the food was great and the service was excellent. I had them cater a party for fifty people but guess what 70 showed up... no worries they handled the extra guest with ease. They made all my guest feel like they were the main priority.. All my catering needs will be with Gordos... Side Note: The owner is a chef, he is just not a taco man he does it all.... read more

WOW! Absolutely delicious Some of the best tacos we've ever had; Gordo came out for my birthday party and everyone raved about dinner! Thank you and we'll have you back for sure!! read more

We had chicken, steak, and barbacoa tacos and all were great! He was also very friendly and provided excellent service to our employees. I also appreciated that he had the menu written out, set out nice tablecloths, and used nice traditional serving bowls. I would definitely use him again. read more

Just off this one burrito I would highly recommend catering you're party. I do party rentals and I would 100% recommend too my customers. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Jose for our Wedding on June 29, 2019. At first we reached out to Jose for a catering inquiry, but due to his vast connections and variety of services, we quickly realized this could be a 1 stop shop. Services that Jose ended up providing us were catering, planning, day of coordination, clean up, and beyond. All of this for an incredible value! Since we were planning our wedding from out of state, it was difficult to work with some vendors. Jose made it very easy and was constantly checking in via email, txt, and phone calls. He made himself available to us on short notice and went above and beyond by sending me frozen vacuum packed samples of meats so we can decide what to have at our wedding. Jose took care of all coordinating with our other vendors and made sure everyone knew what they were supposed to do and when. His team was also at the church ceremony to make sure our guests knew where they needed to be for pictures and our grand send off. At the reception, Jose's team helped seat our guests and made sure they had appetizers. Thoughout the course of the night, he checked in multiple times to make sure we were happy with the flow of the event. When things went wrong (running out of TP, low on ice, etc), Jose was there to run to the market and pick some up. Our guests LOVED the food. We had many compliments as many weren't used to seeing tacos at a wedding. However, Jose's setup is appropriate for weddings and looked elegant along with the rest of our decorations. "When are you two getting married again?" was a common question since everyone had so much fun. Overall Jose's goal was to make our wedding stress free and an incredible time for our guests. He accomplished this goal and beyond. I'd recommend his services for any type of event and I'm sure we'll be working with him again in the future. read more

Came here on a whim after seeing all the positive yelp reviews. Got here around 1115 on a friday night with the place completely empty. The employee at the front said the friday night rush just finished. I ended up ordering the carne asada nachos. The carne asada was cooked to perfection. It tasted well marinated and well season and tasted as if it was bbq'd rather than cooked on a flat top grill like many others. It came with liquid nacho cheese and another type of cheese both of which complemented the carne asada perfectly. They have a really big salsa bar which was well stocked with fresh salsas and sides. I believe my nachos cost $7.99 which IMO is priced fairly. will definitely come back here again read more

Jose has been very helpful in my dads celebration of life. He's been attentive and gives us quick responses. Highly recommend to anyone looking for taco services. read more

NO GOOD understand these are NOT authentic taco's the carne asada had no flavor was under cooked and the server was really holding back on the meat. She very stingy on the meat portion's and she did not bring enough for meat for what we paid for. Over 50% of my guest did not like these tacos's and complained the meat had no flavor and taco was very poorly done. Cook server did not do a good job at all we very unhappy never again nobody liked the taco's. This Lady got not even one happy guest all my guest of 60 gave her a " F "! As you can see how this business owner responds to unhappy customers you can understand more why not to go to him. read more

This is the most delicious taco catering we've ever had, and we've tried many throughout the years. The meat is perfectly seasoned and fresh and the tortillas are home made and just the perfect texture. My kids love the quesadillas. Even their fruit juices we're yummy. Jose is friendly, efficient, responds quickly, and easy to work with. They come two hours before their serve time to set up and start cooking and leave any leftovers for you and clean up after themselves. We used them for a baby shower and are using them again for my kid's birthday and will continue to use them and recommend them for other events. We typically do steak, chicken, and carnitas and sometimes we add shrimp. They also do pastas! Give them a try, you won't regret it! read more

FINALLY! A "taco man" you can recommend to friends and most importantly out of towers wanting to taste authentic Mexican food in L.A. Gordo's is legit! I attended a wedding that was catered by the taco bar and the meats were juicy, delicious and cooked perfectly. Pair that with the best salsas you'll get from any catering company I've come across and awesome service and that's how we get to 5 stars. I'd go higher if I could. It's that good. This husband and wife duo do it right. I'm intrigued to try there other flavors (bbq,Italian, and Hawaiian) but the Mexican food is nothing short of delicious and on point so I'd have trouble not getting the taco bar. If only there were a location to drive to right now. read more

We found this place from Yelp. The 2 men working were extremely nice! They answered all our questions and were very accommodating. We played it safe with our fav carne asada. Man did this not disappoint! I personally can't recall having carne asada this smokey before but I LOVED it. It was delicious! I highly recommend and will be back soon! read more

Highly recommend Gordos! I had only a weeks notice that family was coming from out of town to visit. Luckily, working with Jose was easy; and he was able to cater a Friday taco night party for 50. I selected chips and salsa, tacos with 3 meats (they have great selection) , quesadillas, rice and beans, with all condiments, and churros for desert. Jose was very responsive and professional. We even received a typed invoice of our order so I confirm all my choices. Prices were competitive and payment options were easy. He also included plates, napkins, and cutlery so I didn't have to shop or do anything but enjoy my guests. All food was perfectly hot and delicious. Everyone had plenty to eat and we even had leftovers. I loved the homemade flour tortillas used for the quesadillas. Carlos was our server and he was excellent. He arrived on time and set up a beautiful food display. We were very impressed with the real linens. Carlos was a great host to our guests and I received many compliments about his fun, friendly and helpful demeanor. He also told me about other menus besides tacos which I am excited to try. We will definitely use Gordos as our go to Caterer for all future events! read more

They recently catered an event at our house and it was excellent! They did the "taco man" set up in the back yard and everyone raved about the food. Very courteous and professional. On time set up and food service. We checked a with a number of caterers and they were the lowest price and best value. I highly recommend them! read more

My husband thought I was kidding when I said. Stop here they have 5 stars on Yelp. WOW !!! The Carne asada tacos were tasty...quality meat. We were so happy we stopped by. Then Jose had us sample the chicken which was very moist great flavor the smoky taste was even better than carne asada. To top it off he had us try the alpastor which was even tastier.... yummy Must try these tacos.... all of them read more

Me and my girlfriend were in Covina drove by Gordos and thought it looked cool so said let's try one taco before we go back to Downtown La where we live because we had a dinner reservation. Well needless to say we ate about 10 tacos by far the best Al Pastor I've ever had. We both are taco nerds we have tried all the top tacos place in La and in our option this is the best. read more

YOU. GUYS. My husband and I host multiple parties throughout the year and we usually use the same "taco guy" for all of them. Now, there's nothing wrong with that guy...he's just not AMAZING. When my mom told me to find someone to cater my baby shower, I wasn't convinced I wanted to use our normal person - so off to Yelp I went...and I am SO GLAD I DID. We had Jose from Gordo's Taco Grill cater my baby shower this past weekend. The food was fresh and delicious and my guests were raving. Everything looked great from the little decorations on the grill table to the cute touches on the salsa station. Jose was a dream - He answered all of my questions during the booking process. Followed up the week before and again the day before the event to confirm and let me know everything was still on schedule. I HIGHLY recommend Gordo's and can't wait to have another party with them! read more
