The BEST Mexican food I have had since I have lived in Northern Mexico/Southern California hands down! Not only is the food amazing but the family who runs it is just as wonderful. They are always warm and welcoming. And make suggestions to friends when they have never been there before. They never disappoint. The Main St location is my favorite but the trailer in Lebanon is closer and convenient. And the Food is ALWAYS on point. ¡La MEJOR comida mexicana que he probado desde que vivo en el norte de México y el sur de California, sin duda! No solo la comida es increíble, sino que la familia que lo regenta es igual de maravillosa. Siempre son cálidos y acogedores y hacen sugerencias a amigos que nunca han estado allí antes. Nunca decepcionan. El local de Main St es mi favorito, pero el tráiler en Lebanon está más cerca y es conveniente. Y la comida SIEMPRE es perfecta. read more

No alcohol sales at this point. So no cerveza or margaritas with your meal. Chips were good. Rojo salsa is smokey and has a little kick, the verde salsa lacks flavor. Ordered an Elote app, great flavor, but it was served cold, a cold ear of corn is not enjoyable. Ordered 3 tacos, el pastor was really good, Birria was ok, carne asada was not good at all. Not a great experience. read more

The food was delicious!!!! Tried several items in the menu. Quesobirria tacos were very good. The barbacoa tacos were amazing ! The elote was tasty, the chicken enchiladas were made with white meat chicken and were tasty but the chicken was a bit dry but probably bc it was white meat. I would totally get t again. The owner is awesome an friendly!!!!! Love that we tried this place read more

Dined in at Tacos el Gordo twice in the last two weeks. The sitting area was cozy but not too loud with other patrons on a Friday night. The food came out with an acceptable wait time. Drinks are bottled or in cans. Tables are given complimentary tortilla chips with red and green salsa. The green salsa was a tad bit spicy for me but it was still good. The food came out hot and the portions are generous. It was a nice change of taste versus settling for the usual fast food options. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever gone to the food is amazing and the staff was very polite. I would highly recommend

Birria tacos were AMAZING easily the best I've had on the east coast. We ordered take out and it was ready in 10 min!

First time visiting the restaurant today. I have had food from the taco truck before and it was fantastic! The restaurant did not disappoint! The nachos were large enough to share and were very tasty. We chose steak for the meat. They also had refried beans, a melty cheese, sour cream, guacamole and jalapeños. The chips were crispy and the steak was tender. The guacamole was smooth and delicious! Everything tasted fresh and the price for the nachos was $12. Pretty good price considering the serving size. The owners and employees were all very nice and helpful. Will definitely be back. The decor is very cute and everything looked clean and well maintained. read more

Been wanting to go here so the guy was driving around his truck, and I can say I'm not disappointed, definitely makes better food than what you'd expect from a guy who used to run a food truck. Although chipotle is down the street I'd rather get this guys food. The service is quick and the restaurant is clean so that's a bonus read more

Cute little restaurant on the Main Street of Ephrata. Very clean inside and the staff was quick and friendly. Now to the food...the nachos were good and I ate the entire plate, but didn't seem "authentic" due to the generic pourable cheese sauce. I ordered the quesabirrias which were a little messy from the shredded beef; no problem for me as I love a good messy meal! The prices were reasonable if not cheaper than I would have expected. read more

Tacos El Gordo - Mexican Near Me - Ephrata, Pennsylvania

Very nice little restaurant, service staff was quick and polite. The food was good but was not anything spectacular. Both the tacos and quesadilla were very cheese heavy. Both dishes could have been better balance with a little fresh lettuce & sour cream. Over all a very great place to visit while in the area. read more

Fast friendly service. The best taco I have ever eaten. Our waitress gave suggestions to us (we were obviously lost) they were incredible. The 3 leches is incredible. I haven't left the place and just had to leave a review!! read more

I'm very sad to say, no thank you to this place. The staff were very nice and I give them 5 stars. The location is great. It's very clean. But we came in as a big party, we all ordered different things, I tried everyone's food, and it was all boring and not great. Cold stringy lettuce and cold chunks of tomato stuffed in soggy burritos making everything inside cold. Too many ingredients with similar texture just make every bite both hot and cold and mushy. It's unpleasant. The plates weren't colorful with fresh ingredients, or singing with flavor. No fresh onion, no fresh lime, no fresh pico, no fresh cilantro. A glop of brown beans, rice and meat. Stringy lettuce and diced tomatoes. The sauces which can sometimes bring the platter alive, were forgettable and one dimensional. I wanted to LOVE this place, but I have had unbelievable Mexican food that was fresh and lovely and flavorful. That was not what I experienced here sadly. I will try one of their truck locations and see if the experience is different. read more

All of the food was amazing. The server was nice and efficient. The interior is very simple and clean. If you are looking for a place to get great food at a great price, this is the place to go. read more

Order the birria tacos. They are life changing. Delicious on its own, but dunk it in the side juice and enjoy the explosion of flavors. read more

Service is terrible. They yelled at a door dasher over something that wasn't her fault!

The quesabirria tacos are no joke! Each taco is loaded with cheese and the consommé is super flavorful as well. I got take out and the service was very quick. I will definitely sit in to each sometime soon as the place is completely redone making for a relaxing ambiance. read more

The best tacos around. I literally tell everyone about this place. My partner will reject other Mexican places that are closer because this one is just so good. The quesadilla is phenomenal, and the quesabirra tacos are equally as mouth-watering. Truly an underrated local place in my eyes. read more

I love going here they will make you feel like family. I been going the truck for a while and was excited when the restaurant opened up recently. Not only is the service excellent but the food is amazing as well. If your looking for some of the best Mexican food around you definitely need go here. So far there hasn't been any I haven't liked from them my recent go to is the birra tacos so delicious. read more

Just as good as the Food truck! Great and friendly service! A definite gem in Ephrata! Just wish I paused to take a picture before diving in but it's just too good! Don't pass it up or you'll regret it later read more

The best Mexican food in the area as far as I know. Found this place by accident and I will be going back. I had the tacos Biria, tacos al pastor, Mexican street corn and the churros. I wasn't a fan of the churro.The rest of the food was excellent. The employees were very nice talking to people like they are regulars including us. The staff knew the whole menu well. The location is small but there is enough space that you won't be bumping others. It was also very clean. read more

Crazy delicious tacos! There's nothing like pulling up to a food truck with the excitement of a rumor of something spectacular. Loved the steak burrito, and their Elote is a great treat! read more

My aunt and I have made two trips to Tacos El Gordo since it opened a couple months ago, and both times the food was exceptionally delicious. Service was very good and friendly. This place definitely has the best Mexican food either of us have ever had--definitely a step or two above even my previous favorite restaurant in the area. We plan to make more visits in the near future. read more

The tacos have no flavor the shrimp taco taste like shrimp cup of noodle soup with no seasoning carne asada taco no flavor al pastor taco no flavor the drinks are watered down wayyy too much and it's definitely pricey I had high hopes for this place but I was let down tremendously read more

Food is very good... reasonably priced too! We will return. Server was prompt, attentive and pleasant. Ambiance, super clean no frills read more

I have eaten at this restaurant several times and the food was wonderful. I ordered recently and the meal was awful, and I returned the uneaten food and the waiter seemed to be at a loss as to what to do, so I left my name and phone number. I received a caller later asking what was wrong and I explained it tasted awful, the Tamale was very thin, overcooked and stale tasting. The Chilies Relleos wasn't any better. The individual who called me back kept insisting on the fact the food was fine when they made it in the morning-- that is well and good but I had a meal that tasted awful, I returned it and I wasn't offered a replacement. I didn't expect a refund but I did expect credit - which I did NOT received.. That is NO way to conduct business. read more

Great food, but terrible at updating their times (this is the second time this has happened). whether it's online or on social medias. Drove over an hour thinking they'd be open, because on maps it still says closing 9PM and on google it says 8PM. i arrived at 7PM, this review can seem a little bias but when you drive over an hour for them to just say they're closed when there was NO indication of this online would make anyone mad. as much as i love the food i do not think i will make it a prerogative to visit. my visits will stay just to "if i'm in the area". please do better about this in the future! thank you read more

Found a foot long hair in my birria tacos. made me and my boyfriend throw up right away cuz he saw me pull it out of my mouth. everything we jus ate was in the trash and on the floor. also the lady gave us the wrong order at first (wish we would of just kept that one) and then tried to over charge me read more

Too pricey for the taste. It seems to be hit or miss. The sides are small and each one costs extra.

Found on here. Had good reviews figured we'd try it out. Definitely worth a visit. Food is yummy. If I'm back this way again I will definitely stop again and try something different read more

Our second time to eat there in a week! Everything was as delicious as last time. The shrimp tacos are great! Perfectly cooked shrimp that are seasoned just right.
