Tacos El Gordo is a Tijuana-rooted taqueria chain that opened its first location in 1972 in Tijuana, expanded to San Diego in 1998, and brought its Las Vegas Strip location in 2010. The restaurant is celebrated for its authentic adobada — spiced pork carved directly from a vertical trompo — along with handmade corn tortillas, carne asada, buche, and lengua; the Strip location regularly draws hour-long waits.
my kids ask for El Gordo tacos every weekend. we go every weekend
Been going to El Gordo for 15 years. Since before it was cool. The adobada is always perfect
Tacos El Gordo is why you don't need to fly to Tijuana. The adobada on the trompo, sliced to order. Perfection.
We have great tacos in Portland but Tacos El Gordo on the strip is next level. The adobada is incredible, we went back twice in 3 days
El Gordo adobada. Period.
