Tacos El Gordo


My next stop was Tacos El Gordo in Chula Vista off of H Street, a small shop, but one that takes the cake so far in my everlasting journey of eating delicious tacos.  I’ve now created easy to understand categories to rate and help me review the shop while keeping it short and simple! The categories are: quantity, quality, customer service, and of course pricing. Upon entering the shop in my taco suit, the usual reactions of people to my suit were present however, once I wanted to order my food the cooks and other employees kept their cool and treated me with respect and made me feel welcome by throwing jokes and staring a normal conversation. I ordered tacos de carne asada, and adobada for the price of the tacos was a bit expensive. Surely after devouring the tacos the price was worth the clogging of my arteries.  The meat is prepared (in my opinion)  to perfection, for the meat was juicy flavorful to the point where I became sad that I was finishing my tacos. The tacos come with the meat asked for, onions, a special sauce and a lot of guacamole. I might say that the guacamole is to die for it is prepared well and with a perfect amount of lemon to give it a faint, but good sour taste. They give you a shit ton of meat in your taco (twss) so the 2 dollars per taco is well worth the price. Now bring it back to my categories the quantity of the food and meat is a 10 out of 10 because 3 or 4 tacos is well enough for any person for they are meat packed. The quality of the food is superb, they really do know how to prepare and cook their meat giving them another 10 out of 10. Customer service is excellent for the employees are bilingual and are welcoming as well, they are more than happy to serve you and talk to you. Last of all, the pricing of the food is a little extreme especially if you want more than 4 tacos, which will already cost you more than 10 dollars. The competition with pricing compared to other taco shops is tough, but I didn’t mind paying the price for the quality of the food was perfect, giving it a 9 out of 10. Overall this establishment is good for anyone who is in dire need of a good taco and does not mind the price. If you love eating tacos from Tijuana, this is the place to go because it is a Tijuana based restaurant and sure does live up to its name by making you fat and happy.
