    We were in the mood for Mexican and kind of struggled to find a spot, luckily we found Tapatio and…read moreit was awesome. They started us off with two salsa's - one regular and one "spicy" so you can kind of mix your own level of heat. Tortilla's were great and we went with a margarita and a yuengling to go along with the salsa and the small order of guacamole. I ordered a lunch combo of a chicken burrito and a ground beef tamale. The tamale was one of the best I've ever had - the beef, the sauce and the cheese were perfect. The burrito was also great, just not quite as yummy as the tamale. There was rice that I ended taking home because I was totally full. Wayne had the special Mexican quesadilla served with guacamole salad. Alex was our server and he was quick, efficient and totally "on it". The space was nice, lots of Mexican art. We lucked out!

Whenever I've gone they've lways had a smile on their face and ready to get those drinks out and love how fast they are getting the chips and drinks over. They have plenty of seating and space so even when they're a madhouse I don't think we've ever waited more than 20 minutes to be seated.

The meats were perfectly seasoned: asada, pastor, carnitas, chorizo and birria (tasted actually seasoned well). The rice and beans were also finally legit Mexican style! The ladies working there were very nice but it gets busy. We entered during a slow time so we got our food pretty fast. There is not much seating I wouldn't suggest bringing a big group.

    Authentic! Delicious! Friendly! I met a friend halfway between Tampa and Orlando. She suggested…read morea few breakfast chain places, but me, being a Yelper and a mom and pop kinda girl, saw this listing on here and suggested Mr. Pollo. It looked authentic, but you never know til you try it. She ordered the carne asada taco plate and I opted for the chips/salsa, the chicken enchiladas verde plate and avocado and rice for my daughter. The chicken in the enchiladas was moist and tender. The corn tortillas were perfectly made (FROM SCRATCH) and the sauce mmm mmmm mmmm. It was only improved by the 4oz of homemade salsa I poured on top of them. My 3yo daughter loved her rice and did a little hip shake dance when I told her I was ordering more for her to go The only thing disappointing was that they didn't have queso. It's a counter service place and is very unassuming. What a gem it is!!! This place is no where convenient for me to get to, but I will go out of my way to get there again, and very soon.

    We stumbled upon this little hole-in-the-wall called Taqueria El Gordo, and let me tell you... if…read moreyou're craving a truly traditional Mexican experience, this is the place. It's family-owned, simple, traditional nothing fancy, but the flavor more than makes up for it. On top of that, the family running the place couldn't be more humble and welcoming. I tried a gordita for the first time; a homemade tortilla stuffed to perfection. Everything is made fresh to order, even the tortillas. You can actually see them working their magic behind the counter, mixing the batter, molding, frying, and cooking right there in front of you. We ordered four gorditas; two carnitas and two steak: each one loaded with mozzarella cheese, sliced avocado, crema (their version of sour cream), onions, and cilantro. Oh my God, now I understand why it's called a gordita -- it's packed! For the price, you can't beat it. Two gorditas filled me up, and for about $12 total, it's a steal!!! The quality, freshness, and homemade taste easily surpass most restaurants charging twice the price. We also tried their chilaquiles -- another knockout dish. They use the same homemade tortillas, cut and fried, then topped with their house-made red or green salsa (depending on how much heat you can handle), Mexican cheese, crema, onion, and cilantro, all served over rice and beans with two perfectly fried eggs on top. The green salsa packs more spice, but the red can be blended to your liking. Every bite was pure comfort and flavor. They even make their own chicharrones from scratch and serve authentic Mexican sodas like Coca-Cola in the tall glass bottles; the ones made with real cane sugar, not the syrupy stuff we're used to here. Now, let me be clear -- if you're one of those people who expect your food within five minutes, this isn't your spot. Everything here is made fresh, from scratch, and that takes time. People who truly know and appreciate homemade cooking understand that real food doesn't happen within five minutes. So come in, relax, and let them cook. Let them pamper you with their gift of delicious food. Don't rush them, and don't get impatient, this is a humble family who takes pride in perfection. I guarantee you won't find the same level of flavor, love, and authenticity anywhere else. So far, we've tried two items from the menu, and both were absolute hits. We'll definitely be coming back! Not just because the food is amazing, but because we love supporting humble, hardworking families who pour their heart and culture into every dish they serve. Taqueria El Gordo is a must-try gem for anyone who appreciates true homemade Mexican food made with love. There isn't any other like them here in Lakeland!

You can tell that this is a small family operation as I saw a kid who had to be at least 10 helping out wiping tables and what not which was totally awesome as a small family place like this is the type of business where I want to give my money to! So the food now that was what's totally good as I had found it a bit unique that they gave me almost a hard shell quesadilla but as soon as I dipped it into the consommé it became soft and incredibly delicious even more so than it was before as the meat was very flavorful along with the veggies inside made for one awesome quesadilla! Quesabirria Tacos here are on point as they also were packed with flavor and just soo good definitely one of the best tacos I've had in Florida! Their horchata was also very delicious flavorful and just perfect for when I needed a sip of that delicious milky goodness! Overall this is a super legit and very yummy spot to grab some Birria so do yourself a favor and don't let it pass you by as you'll be happy you came here for some delicious Mexican food!
