If you’re staying at the Hilton Resorts world, this place is a must since it’s right there. I have a very different palette to the bad reviews here as I found the asada Al pastor sooo yummy! And the chorizo, the steak was my third...favourite. The lineups are ridiculously long. The first time it was a Monday night and we waited an hour. The second time we went randomly on Wednesday at 10:30pm and walked right in and ordered. It was great. It’s not fancy, food court cafeteria style. Just like in and out burger. Tacos are around $3 each. Accessible by taking the Deuce bus which pretty much stops outside of the places. Highly recommend!More

The tacos were absolutely delicious! We tried most of the menu and everything tasted great. The hot sauce had a nice heat to it. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. We will definitely visit again the next time we’re in town.

We were looking for food on our way out of town and took a chance here. It doesn’t look like much from outside but inside was a wonderful experience of watching them make our food, lots of fresh ingredients, and very nice staff.

Our family went to Tacos El Gordo for dinner one night while in Las Vegas. It is on the strip close to the Encore hotel. There is free parking which is a plus. We went about 4 pm and while it was busy we didn’t...have to wait long. I have seen pictures of much longer lines out the door if you go later at night. Ordering is different than conventional restaurants as there are specific lines based on what type of meat you are ordering. I wasn’t familiar with all the choices they offered so I enjoyed trying new things. I thought the food was great and really enjoyed the experience. It was a nice break from all the restaurants within the resorts in Las Vegas.More

To start off there was a huge line, so therefore there was a long wait. I was starving and desperate to eat some tacos, but I was upset and disgusted by what I got served. Never in my life have I been served meat that...looked like it was on the grill for 5 minutes, so disgusting. To top it off there was terrible customer service. Super expensive for me to get meat served with lots of fat and cold by the time I got to eat them, instead I had to throw everything away. The way they serve you was like if a plate was just thrown at you! I could have walked away but I do respect some people hard work and I do not plan to go back and throw my money away there ever again.More

I was having tacos for the first time in my life. As an European I wanted to try them. My buddy lived in Mexico for 2 years and recommended I go to Tacos El Gordo. I was not disappointed! It's too bad I went there...on my last day in Vegas otherwise I would eat there every day!! Amazing flavours.More

This place is awesome. Best tacos I ever had in Vegas !!! Loved the variety and the fact that their carne asada is actually made on charcoal grill instead of gas. I ended eating so many tacos I could barely walk. Their pastor is great,...but for me, the carne asada and lengua were the best !!! Can’t wait to eat there again.More

This was recommended by two people we met. It was very popular as many people were waiting outside before it open. You order and find a table after you get your food. You paid at the place where you get your water or soft drinks....Everyone who we spoke with raved about this place but I think it was over rated. It was not cheap and I was not impressed with the taste or quality of the food. The meat was dry and the vegetables were not fresh.More

I can’t recall if beer was sold there. Def not on draught anyway. They do these non alcoholic drinks that are half way between a milkshake and soda. The orange one taste like a super split. Surprising delicious.
