Review La Esquina Del Gordo - Greenville

This place is fantastic. Definitely off the beaten path in Greenville as far as cuisine goes! The salchipapas are a unique appetizer! The burgers are very close to the famous Gordo burger from FL, but it definitely gets you there! Highly recommend the jugos/juices made with either milk or water(for those HOT days)! Will be back soon!

A foodie and cook myself of latino cuisine and street food, I’m thoroughly disappointed! The food trucks, and hot carts on the corner blow this place away. A simple menu should be done right! The papa relleno was super greasy and hardly any filling other than the papa inside, all you taste is OLD grease. They serve white rice with everything, no Spanish rice! The simple burrito with chicken was flavorless and barely had any meat; stuffed mostly with rice, pintos ( which looked and tasted canned) lettuce,sour cream, and tomato is the only flavor coming through. I asked if they had chorizo tacos, ordered 1-the 300 some odd pound sweaty & gristly-faced cook held up a sausage he pulled out of a prepared side pan and chopped it up on the grill and stuffed into a taco it had so much gristle, was hard to chew and dry this is not typical chorizo! They may be authentic Spanish people that work inside but they haven’t the first clue how to cook real Spanish food. I’ve had the advantage of living near Mexico growing up and moving throughout the states visited many rich latino cultured areas and this is far from authentic. I would take the chorizo roasted off the side of a poor man’s shed in the sun in Tijuana anyday before returning here-now that’s delicious! Don’t waste your time or money. On the other hand if I had to find one thing positive it would be that the staff was friendly; the guacamole and tomatillo sauce were spicy and good. I took a few bites of each to pass fair judgment and threw it in the trash.

Absolutely delicious! Stopped here while in town and wish I could eat it again. Ordered the Gordos Burrito (Carne asada and Al pastor pork) and an order of fried plantains (patacoches). Girlfriend got an arepa. Everything made to order and super tasty. It takes about ten minutes to get your food, but everything is cooked in the kitchen when ordered so it's well worth the wait. Family owned and operated, staff was super nice. You won't be disappointed

Love this place! Newly opened, this facility serves Mexican street fare. We've never been disappointed with the food here, and the staff is always friendly. The food is always prepared quickly, and is always consistent. They have a mock-drive through, where you can order at the window and they'll bring it to your car. The dining room is small and cozy. Highly recommend.

My husband and I eat here about once a week, sometimes twice. Everything I've ordered is top notch and we are pretty selective when eating out. This is great home cooking; Colombian style, Mexican style and American with a Spanish twist. Enough to please anybody! Food is always great, prices are great abs service is great.

I love this place!! Such a hidden gem! It’s authentic and delicious! I love that they have a drive thru, so convenient when I don’t feel like cooking. The best food I’ve ever had hands down!

Muy delicioso. Generous portions, fresh ingredients. Has a drive thu but be prepared to wait, food is definitely worth it. Maybe call ahead. Staff always gracious and friendly. Great street tacos and buritos. I suggest the potato burrito!! It's on the vegetarian menu but even if you eat meat very satisfying. Enjoy.

So... they have these monster French fries that have EVERYTHING on them... I believe they are called Salchigordo? They have real cheese on them, pulled mozzarella if I am correct. They are also covered with chunks of beef hot dogs, steak, chicken and bacon! Listen, you can't eat this way every day but you have to try it at least once! Also, the portion is HUGE. Bring a couple of friends😁! I have also had the burgers and tacos and they are definitely worth the trip.
