"In between real estate appointments, I stopped at El Mexicano Tacos El Gordo 2 for lunch. What an amazing restaurant and experience. The decor and ambiance is one of a kind. We ordered the Taquiza to sample a variety of the tacos. All I have to say is WOW!! The Al Pastor tacos (pork and pineapple) were the perfect blend of sweet and savory. The birria tacos were rich and absolutely delicious. I also loved the tacos de charro. The steak was tender and the onions were sauteed perfectly. The staff was friendly and very attentive. I can't wait to return! If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, I highly recommend giving this place a try! Also, they have a private room for parties or meetings. Ps... I never take bathroom pics, but I had to this time! The design of the restaurant is even seen in the bathroom!"

"This place is everything. Service and staff were amazing, food was phenomenal and place was outstanding! I loved every moment being here. I got the horchata and lemonade and were they delicious that I got the horchata two times! Got the birria quesadilla and burro and best decision. If anything I would’ve change the fries for the chips (even though they gave us chips and salsa). Definitely coming back here soon!"

"We really enjoyed our meal and the wonderful service. Staff was very friendly and inviting. Answering all our questions about menu items and notifying us it items on the menu were spicy. We had the enchiladas with rice and beans, steak taco, chorizo taco and chicken taco. Everything was cooked perfectly and served hot! Plus chips and dips were included and delivered as we were seated. Their house sauce with the chips was fantastic! Love having a great local Mexican restaurant in town. Very welcome addition that we will be visiting often."
