The taco truck i originally attended to had shut down so i decided to give Las Gorditas a try after yEARS. My total came to $22 and some change which i think is decent pricing. I've paid way more before so my wallet was happy. I went as soon as they opened so i got my food fairly quickly! Super hot and fresh! My mother in law makes the best asada tacos in my opinion but these were definitely my next favorite. The barbacoa was my 2nd favorite!! The carnitas was a bit dry but had a good smokey flavor. I also love the grilled onions! I usually have to use salsa but only did for the carnitas! (I got the green salsa but it's got some heat so i only used a small amount). Elote was 10/10. And the horchata was good as well!! If you like it more sweet than this is the horchata for you! Definitely coming back and trying more! read more

Love their tacos , burritos and quesadillas !! My favorite taco truck ! I've been coming here for years and it's the only one I consistently eat at. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try !! read more

I highly recommend the Lengua Tacos. Some of the best I've had in the city. Call ahead or show up. Foods hot and delicious.

This is the first food truck I've ever eaten from or bought anything from but it came highly recommended. I have lived on my street since 2005. I am so satisfied with the quality of the food and the service and the fact that the owner is always there. I don't speak Spanish but he can explain anything if the ones preparing it don't understand. Due to my medical issues I can't always eat some of what normally comes with the items, like lettuce. They always fix it up and try to accommodate the way I have to eat. They are all so nice and I hope they are around for many years to come. Prices are good also. I don't know about the items with beef as I don't indulge in red meat anymore. Quantity and taste and service are fantastic ‼ read more

The tacos here are legit. Actually, the gorditas and tortas are better. I'm a recovering addict of Baja street food, and while this isn't exactly Baja estilo, at the very least, it's methadone for this junkie. I'm tempted to climb through the ordering window to hug the people inside, but I fear that they might not feed me after that. I haven't tried everything, but I keep going back to the asada. Cheese or cream goes on a lot of their menu items. Nothing has struck me as extraordinary, but all of it tastes Spanish-speaking. Muy delicioso. I don't know exactly when they show up, but I think they set up shop mid-afternoon. Their sign tells me they are open til 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and for the summer they are showing up on Thursdays as well as Sundays. If you want this stuff Monday through Wednesday, you better get it to go. read more

My family stops here for food on a weekly basis. Very friendly employees and the food is absolutely delicious!! You definitely get your money's worth here. A great local business to support. read more

Awesome tamales! Solid tacos. This truck has been around in the same spot for years, and for good reason.

These are honestly the best tacos in the city! We've been going here for about two years and I love it every time. The asada is juicy and tender and they cook the onions instead of giving them raw which is honestly the way to go. They have a yummy soda selection but we also go with the apple soda. And then the green sauce... boy they just have amazing spice and add richness to any item. You will regret not trying them at least once in your lifetime read more

Been going here for years! Very kind people and the best tacos in town imo. I like the fancy hipster joints on the fancy side of town too with their pickled something or other toppings and criminal pricing. But, these are made with love and the quality and taste is arguably better than those fancy spots charging twice as much. read more

This place is so close to my house that I don't know how I haven't eaten here before! Las Gorditas is bringing authentic, delicious Mexican food to Louisville, and as a California native (and a member of a large, Mexican family) I am loving it! My friend and I stopped by for dinner one night last week and thankfully, the weather was nice. She ordered a beef burrito and a bottled coke and I ordered a chicken taco with lettuce, sour cream, tomato, and avocado, an el pastor taco, a taco de lengua (cow tongue!), elote en vaso (corn in a cup with sour cream, mayo, parmesan cheese, and chile), and a big ol' cup of horchata! For those of you who haven't tried horchata, it is a milky beverage usually made from rice, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Sometimes the ingredients vary a little. Just a tip though- it is great with spicy foods! The food was AMAZING. It was hot, fresh, and made with love! I think my favorite was the el pastor taco- and the elote en vaso, of course (I am a corn addict). The pork was juicy and tender and the pineapple complimented it perfectly. The elote en vaso had just the right amount of everything in it. Make sure you remember to stir it all together! Oh, and try the red sauce with your food, too! SOOO SPICY! The only thing that sucks here is that it is a food truck so there isn't much seating, but what little seating they do have (two tables that can seat about 4 people) is covered by an awning. One other thing that sorta sucks is their hours are limited- make sure you check that they are open before you go because I believe they are only open two days a week! Anyway, I highly recommend Last Gorditas- this was my first time but it will certainly not be my last. I'll be back to try the tamales! read more

It took about 11 minutes for my wife and I to finish our three corn tacos, one gordita and one quesadilla. And for 11 minutes we almost thought we were back in southern California. Then we remembered we were both wearing down jackets, it was a blistering thirty-six degrees outside, and the closest body of water was the Ohio River, not the Pacific Ocean. Nonetheless, the Mexican food at this food trailer was legit. Our order of three corn tacos (two marinated pork or "pastor" and one carnitas), one gordita (steak or "asada") and quesdailla (slow-cooked shredded beef or "desebrada") came with a plastic bag of limes quarters and two types of salsa -- one red and one green. The quesadilla was decent, but a little bit soggy because of the meat my wife ordered. (If you go for the quesadilla, get it with asada or carnitas.) The gordita was solid -- two thick tortillas with smashed beans, Mexican cheese, lettuce and meat. It was tasty, but a little bit hard to eat. But the real highlight of the meal was the tacos. Two corn tortillas filled with meat, onions, cilantro, cheese (+$0.25) and about a quarter of an avocado (+$0.25). And when I say "filled", I mean FILLED. Finally, as we were waiting for our food to be made, an SUV rolled up and an older lady wearing house slippers jumped out of the car and handed a plastic bag full of food to the cashier. After she left I asked the cashier about the contents of the bag and I got the scoop: two types of tamales, chicken with green sauce and pork with red sauce, $1.00 a piece and entirely home/handmade by her grandma -- the older lady in the house slippers. At a $1.00 a piece the temptation was too strong and we added a pork tamale to our order for dinner. Needless to say, we weren't on the road for more than two minutes after devouring our meal and my wife started unwrapping the foil to the tamale. It was delicious. A bit skimpy on the meat, but the masa was perfectly season and moist. The trailer is there Fridays-Sundays from 3pm-1am (although we showed up at around 2pm and at least one other car had been served before us.) The cashier said that when the weather warms up they'll be there Thursday-Monday. It's cash only and if it's a cold day, be prepared to eat in your car. (It looks like on warm days, they have some plastic chairs which they set up for their customers.) Finally, you can find this little gem at the intersection of S. Watterson Trail and Bardstown Road, right next to the Cox's Smokers Outlet. At the end of the day, $13.00 is a small price to pay in order to 1) find a truly authentic go-to Mexican spot in Louisville and 2) pretend you're in SoCal -- even if it's only for 11 minutes. read more

The line was five or six people deep around 9pm on a Saturday night. Parking lot nearby was packed with cars steadily rolling in. Side tables, of which there are three or four, were also full. I was hungry and excited to try the local taco truck that seems very popular and definitely smells delicious whenever I drive by. I decided on a carne asada burrito with added avocado and a carnitas gordita, with red sauce on the side. It was about a 20 minute wait and then I got my bag of goodies to go. The portions are generous for what it is: taco truck food. You can fill up for around $10. I'm just glad I got the red sauce, which is very spicy (to me). For most spicy food lovers, it might not be. Overall, the food was fine but bland without the sauce. It needed salt and...honestly, sabor. It kind of feels like it's been blanded down for the local palate. Seems like people love it but I'd like a bit more spice, not necessarily heat, just something more to make my mouth happy I guess. read more

I had tacos and they were good. A tad oily but price for that taste is well worth the visit. The sauce was well made.

This place lives up to the hype. The best part is their open late when other good restaurants around town close this place is hopping. I really enjoyed the flavors of the ceviche tostadas and the tenderness of the beef tongue tacos. I never go to the same place back to back but this place is an exception. Service is ok but what can you expect from a food truck experience. I like that they have a couple of tables set up to enjoy the food. read more

Las Gorditas - This place is hopping - Mexican Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

The tacos are the bomb! It's the only place in town that we've had tacos with grilled onions in them and it totally elevates it!! I wouldn't recommend the burrito though. Or maybe it was our choice of burrito because the al pastor tasted like crushed pineapple in hot sauce. Stick to the tacos and you can't go wrong! read more

I am no expert on Mexican food, but what I do know is that their stuff taste just like the ones I got in LA during some of the visits. I love their torta con lengua...mmmmmmmm....yum! Soft, chewy bun envelopes tender shreds of tongue. Add a smear of beans, some cheese, slices of avocado...all of this arrives home still warm. It is one of my favorite carry out meals! And their steak quesadilla will satisfy even the most picky, non-adventurous eater: steak and cheese folded in a grilled tortilla, what's not to like? P.s. It is in the same parking lot as Dakshin, the south Indian restaurant. read more

Stopped by Las Gorditas on a road trip to Nashville. It was located in a random area (in a parking lot) but was worth the detour. It has a small outdoor area and almost has a charm to it for its random location. Now for the tacos: I had the chorizo, al pastor, and the steak. All three were delicious and their salsas are actually spicy. I would definitely go back. The tacos were flavorful and the environment was lively (in fact there was a long line to order which moves quickly). read more

I had the cicken quesadilla and the el pastor quesadilla. Both we fresh, hot and tasty.

I've been coming to the Las Gorditas trailer for many years with mixed opinions on how I feel about them. I've finally decided on a 4 star rating because in the taco truck stand/trailer category, this place is definitely one of the best in town. Las Gorditas sets up their blue trailer in a shopping center parking lot at the corner of Bardstown Road and Watterson Trail. A crowd and the blue trailer will be visible driving down either road. There is plenty of parking around the trailer as it's parked in a lot next to Cox's Spirit Shoppe and a dozen other businesses. The reason I hadn't reviewed this place until now is that because compared to some of the food served in the supermarket restaurant within that same parking lot, Las Gorditas doesn't rate as high on the amount of food you get for your money and on quality of flavor for me. And though you might think that it isn't quite fair to compare the food flavor from a trailer to an actual restaurant, you clearly haven't heard of the awesome booming taco stands in Los Angeles that people go out of their way to eat at. Still, despite my comparison, Las Gorditas does offer some awesome food off their menu. Burritos, Sopes, Tortas, Quesadillas, Tostadas, Tacos, Elote en vaso (corn in a cup), and Gorditas fill up this trailer's menu. While the tacos at this place could rival probably any other authentic taco in town, I think that's the highlight of their menu. Which isn't necessarily bad. Who doesn't love tacos? However if your trailer name is "Las Gorditas" I would expect the Gorditas item to be better. For over a dollar more than a taco you receive a less flavorful item and less meat. The Gordita has two thick corn tortillas stuffed with beans, lettuce, and meat. Perhaps my problem with ordering this is the price for such a small item or that the thick corn tortillas overpower the meat you choose. Not a completely terrible item but go for the tacos. The burritos at this place are an item that I sometimes choose and though they're a good item, I always feel that the amount of meat you receive in the burrito is probably only equal to that of one taco even though you're paying for the price for almost three tacos. Still, the beans and rice in the burrito taste great in the burrito and is a reason I sometimes choose this item. Besides the Elote en Vaso item which is more of snack item that I really like from here, the other items on this menu usually get ignored by me. A great thing about Las Gorditas is that it's the most flavorful food you can get when you have late night cravings as it's open until 1 am on the weekends. I do feel that they're a bit ungenerous with the amount of salsa they give. I can get the same amount of salsa for 3 tacos that I get for 6 tacos but if I want more salsa I have to pay for it. Some other taco trailers don't care about this as salsa is so easy and cheap to make. I'll continue coming to Las Gorditas. Despite my few dislikes of some of the menu items, the tacos here are great and they're open late. Conveniently, they're just a 5 minute drive from my house too so that's a major plus. I have visited other taco trailers in town and when compared to just food in that category, this place ranks in the top two for serving good authentic burritos and tacos. read more

For the last 6 months, I've driven past the Eastgate Shopping Center in Buechel on a fairly regular basis. Oft times when heading home, I've seen the little trailer with the tacked on "Las Gorditas" sign sitting on the front end of that parking lot, next to a US Bank standalone ATM and a Cox's Smokers Shop and really thought that maybe some night I might stop by and pick up something on the way home. Now, after stopping there last weekend, I keep thinking to myself why hadn't I done that sooner? And after a little research, I found that this little mom & pop food stand has been doing this for 5 years, and I think, why have I missed this for so long??? As other Yelpers may attest, Las Gorditas (the little fat ones, I Googled it), may very well be the best Mexican food in Louisville. At the very least, it holds court as the most authentic. It is worth every single penny to stop by and try. I won't even go into more detail than that. What strikes me most as I write this though, is the fact that Las Gorditas has operated like this for five years. No move to expand the operation, just regularly showing up at this spot most evenings and serving consistently fantastic Mexican cuisine. They haven't opened up a storefront nor do they show up at some of the food truck events that seem to have become popular city and nationwide. They are satisfied to continue working this operation just as is. That's pretty amazing when I think about it. When it seems as if any good idea is followed by licensing, expanding, franchising and making more and more handfuls of money, there's very few occasions when someone is simply satisfied in doing something they truly enjoy and simply making a decent living. I have to admire that. Immensely. It says something about the people who run it. They won't sacrifice quality for quantity, they want to continue doing things the right way and when they do, they do well enough to come back and do it all over again tomorrow. Now that's the American dream. - 30 - read more

Came here after work, getting off around 10pm. There wasn't a line (oh no, is it good?) but there were a couple cops enjoying a meal at the dining area they have, so we figured at least we're safe! it's a small little trailer attached to maybe a Chevy & hooked up to a generator. My coworker ordered a burrito de asada with everything.. his food never made it to the drive home lol it was a pretty chilly night so we decided to eat in the car. I ordered 2 sopes, uno de pastor y el otro de carnitas but without beans on either! First 3 words that comes to mind when I think of my food are fluffy, juicy & fresh! I'ma have to make a few more late night stops here before I leave read more

We stopped through on a road trip. Hubby had been talking about chicharron burritos so when we saw this place, I knew we had to check it out. He got a couple of tongue tacos and a chicharron burrito. The chicharron had some spice but wasn't too spicy. The tongue tacos were good. I had a chicken taco and a chicken burrito. I'm not as adventurous. I enjoyed both but really really enjoyed the quesadilla. No complaints here. Food was fresh and out fast. My kind of spot. read more

If you drive past Watterson Trail on Bardstown road then you might have been passing up some of the best authentic Mexican food you will taste short of going to Mexico. Mmm Mmm good you have to try the Tostadas Ceviche, shrimp and crab are your two choices of meat. I get this every time i come here. It's delicious, it's so fresh and you will not regret buying seafood from this food truck. The tacos are great make sure to add cheese and avocado for an extra 50 cents. The gorditas are my second favorite and the quesadilla is very tasty! The Tortas reminds me of a Philly Steak and cheese sandwhich. The Elote is corn, mayo, butter cheese and hot sauce that taste amazing, I know what you are thinking, are you serious that sounds weird, but trust me it's something you will love. They are open late so skip Taco Bell and Live Mas at Las Gorditas! read more

Absolutely the best authentic Mexican food. We have eaten here for many years and it has always been delicious. The lines can seem long but they serve you quickly and the food is always hot and fresh! The taco seviche is crunchy,spicy with shrimp,avacado and raw onions and cilantro. Anybody looking for truly authentic, fresh Mexican food needs to try this place only once and you will be hooked! read more

After moving back from Austin I was worried about not getting my taco fix. I just happened to drive by this Food truck and decided to stop. Well I was very impressed with the quality of the tacos and tamales. The tacos were so good! Due to the cold they put up a tent with a trap to keep patrons warm so you might miss it when you drive by so pay close attention. They are on the corner of Watterson and Bardstown Fri - Sun. read more

Have read great reviews of this place and wanted to try in. Stopped by after a football game with my kids. Prices were shockingly affordable. I ordered he torta with pineapple pork, my oldest a burrito, and my middle a cheese quesadilla. My torts was full of meat and veggies. It was enough for dinner and filled me up. It was a good size in other words. My son raves about the burrito and asked when we are heading back. Looks like after the next football game! Very good food and I highly recommend. Felt authentic. It was not like other Mexican restaurants, that's for sure. read more

Hands down my favorite food truck!! A must try for Mexican food truck. Get the el lote!

I may get some hate messages for this but here goes. The only thing I thought was worth getting was the seafood tostada. I ordered 4 things and I have had better elsewhere. I was driving by on my way to a friends house and saw this place so I stopped and ordered since they had awesome reviews. I got a desebrada quesadilla, pork tamale, carnitas taco, and the seafood tostada. Yes, I have been to authentic Mexican stands in Cali, both northern and southern. This is not anywhere near as good as those. Oh well. I had high hopes too after the reviews. Sorry, just not worth it. I think the best for me is still El Taco Luchador. They have a fantastic food truck too. read more

I'll admit, my standards for Mexican food are high. My Mexican friends jokingly call me "más mexicano que un chile" (meaning I'm more Mexican than they are.) I had a carnitas burrito at Las Gorditas, and while the carnitas were good, the burrito didn't say authentic Mexican to me. It had shredded iceberg lettuce and sour cream, both of which bring the burrito to the gringo side. There was no salsa inside, and the beans were bland. It's possible that they made my burrito "gringo style" because of how I look, but for me, my burrito was meh. read more

The greatest tacos ever. I get the flour tortilla steak taco and it is amazing. Perfect. Even my children who are picky tend to love their tacos. Their quesadilla is always cooked to perfection. I miss the old truck they used to have on Beulah Church Road. Las Gorditas = heaven in your mouth. read more

Holy hell. I love this place. Most bang for your buck in town! Lengua tacos are unreal.

Absolute favorite taco truck, incredible food, and they just opened a restaurant at 8402 Hudson Lane, 40299. Love their food!!!

The ladies that own and operate this fine taco stand do a wonderful job. If you've passed by this food trailer and you're on the fence make the jump you Will be happy you did. read more

thunder! Real friendly service, zero pretention as is so uncommon in louisville (or any other time you've stood at a food truck and ordered food), but most importantly the food is astronomically good. I always get a large cup of corn and a Mexican bottle of coke (made with pure sugarcane). They're only open Thursday thru Sunday though, like a glorious mirage that was too good for this planet. read more

This taco truck makes the best tacos in Louisville. Everything I've tried is delicious and fresh.

For a year now I have been trying to get my fiancé to try this food truck with me. I had it once before two years ago and have been craving it since. Everything I have had here is phenomenal. The tacos, quesadilla, and tostadas are perfect and extremely reasonably priced. The Mexican Street Corn though, my. favorite. thing. I ordered two of them because I did not want to share mine, even one bit, with the fiancé. The best part is that this food truck is there late. So if you are coming home from a bar in the Highlands, this is worth the drive down Bardstown Road. read more

Love Las Gorditas! Very authentic street tacos just like in LA. Douse them with the green hot sauce.

By far the best Mexican food truck in the city.

Love Las Gorditas, they've expanded their menu and still have kept the quality!! Yum!

I have driven past this trailer for over a year wanting to try it out. Finally we found a time when most places were closed and we were in the area and looking for good food. We tried a few things, tacos, corn, gordita and burrito. The corn dish did have some good flavors, we were told it was spicy, but it could have used some more kick. Burrito was ok as was the gordita, but neither really blew me away. The tacos were very good, but very small. The meal was super cheap, but left us wanting to try more things before we make our decision about this place. I went by the other night hoping to stop, but they were not there.Very authentic food, which for now only get 3 stars until I get a chance to go back. read more
