Plaza Azteca is reliably good, and late lunch/early-geriatric-dinner made sense. Margaritas, yum. I've learned to stick to frozen strawberry, not overly sweet but fruity. A neighboring table ordered what looked like a milkshake. Nope, pina colada, which I note here as a reminder to try next time. Calories be damned! We started with guacamole made tableside. This was almost twice the size (plus better and cheaper) than what we recently had in Manhattan. My husband's main was what they call a "loaded" chili relleno with chicken. The doughy coating overpowered the chili. I thought it mediocre. I went with chori pollo: grilled chicken, topped with chorizo. I enjoyed it -- plenty to take home -- but the chorizo was milder than what I've had here before. Needed more zing. As said, we like this restaurant. While not five stars, four is nothing to sneeze at!

Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Service was fabulous! Started with their house-made guacamole & pico de gallo, which were both super fresh and the perfect way to kick things off. I also tried the elote, which was packed with flavor, and the fish taco, which was light, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The King Taco was another standout, and I really loved the queso birria taco; so rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great birria taco. And you can't leave without trying their horchata, which was the perfect refreshing drink to go with all the food. I also had the opportunity to try their Baja fish taco which was another stand out for me! The fish was light, the Baja sauce was so flavorful and delish! What makes this spot even more unique is that their locations are actually inside QuickStop gas station market, which makes it such an unexpected gem. Their first location started near the King of Prussia area, and they now have a few locations in the area; including this one in Collegeville. Just goes to show that sometimes the best food can come from the most unexpected places. If you see El Gordo Bros while you're stopping at QuickStop... trust me, it's worth it.

Situated on a small main ave plot, with adequate parking and a stones throw away from the perkiomen trail, el Gordo bros provides the fuel you need for a quick pick me up, a burst of energy or a drunken stomach screaming for nutrition on a late night. And don't get me wrong, this is more than just your standard hangover preventing college fare; this is quality food at a price that even mass market fast food eateries (chipotle? Taco Bell? Heck even McDonald's) can't compete with. Made with love, curated to make your taste buds do the cha cha, el Gordo bros is on my save save save list!

Our server, Lilly, was very pleasant and added to the warm, welcoming feel of the place. The food was exceptional across the board, and the value was very reasonable even though everything we ordered was delicious. Standouts I highly recommend: * Duck buria * Pork belly tacos * Crunchy shrimp tacos * Baja fish tacos * Half chicken, fresh out of the oven (truly amazing) You really can't go wrong with the other tacos either; there are simply too many good options to mention. Their handcrafted drinks had a great summer vibe and were well balanced, and both the gelato and the Tres Leches cake were delicious. Overall, the vibe, friendliness, attentiveness, and professionalism of the staff, combined with the quality of the food and the very reasonable prices, make Bar Taco a great value.
