This is a great taco shop, some might say the greatest in SD area.
The absolute best thing to eat here imo is the adobada taco. Other stuff I have tried, but it wasn’t memorable.
Service is super speedy, and this location has drive through as well. Parking is available.
I got multiple recommendations for this place and it did not disappoint. It was so good I missed pictures of all my tacos! I caught up with one left. Definitely highly recommended!
Five stars for the Adobada tacos! The ordering process is confusing and hilariously inefficient, especially for a non-Spanish speaker. I had a sweet guy offer to be my translator and guide me through the process. Adobada is basically al pastor with a spicy sauce, he said. The guy working there said they're the same thing. You just get the taco with everything (including sauce), or you don't. I was just glad to get my tacos! We only tried the carne asada and adobada meat. I liked both but would get the fries with the adobada meat next time. And the fries take forever. A delicious and fun experience, especially if you don't have time to cross the border!
I'm told of all the Tacos El Gordo locations, this is the best one! We weren't disappointed and if I ever found myself in the area, I'd stop. It's a bit chaotic inside to order and get your food and then pay but it's worth it.
best tacos I’ve ever had! I ordered beef and beef tongue. Menu is in Spanish. We don’t speak Spanish so we just tell them we want beef and beef tongue lol
Long line on Friday night, but it's worth the wait. Where to line up can be a bit confusing. But it turned out you can order all the tacos from the adobada line.
We ordered taco de adobada, taco de asada, taco de lingua, and taco de buche. Their taco de adobada was really delicious. Taco de buche was just okay. While the lingua and asada are good.
Amazing experience and wonderful food! Everything was delicious and the style of serving was very unique. We enjoyed our time there and liked the food. The tacos were all great and their pork tacos are the best. Their fries is also amazing. They have drive true and also outside seating available. Definitely a must!
Delicious authentic street tacos! Easy to order at the drive thru. Didn't take too long. Very good service.
Thanksgiving Day for lunch was super busy. The service was fast and the food was great! We got the pork and beef tacos and tostados. We had the steak fries as well. Everything was fresh and delicious. Definitely some of the best tacos I have ever had.

There's a reason this place is so busy you can't find a parking spot. The food is bomb. I drove out from El Cajon to eat there on a Friday night. It was completely packed with people. But it was worth it.
