Reviews of Taco Gordo

Nabeel Kasim

With this being one of the only places around Burlington to get tacos, I feel inclined to give it a higher rating. Besides this the food here is phenomenal with lots of authentic Mexican dishes to choose from. I always enjoy trying the non-alcoholic Mexican drinks like horchata and tepache. The tacos always come out fresh and quickly. All in all, this is a great spot for a casual bite or a nice night out if you are feeling tacos.

Philip Yazbak

I never really enjoyed tacos as I don't eat a lot of meat but the chicken tacos at Taco Gordo were incredible! It's a great restaurant with indoor and outdoor seats. The food is a great value and the margarita and drink selection is overflowing!

We saw the highlights of this little taco place on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and were sure to include it on our vacation through the area. It's an order at the window type of place and they have a lovely little patio. Guy was right, the El Pastor taco was scrumptious! Layers of slightly crisped pulled pork and pineapple were the highlights of this dish set of lots of fresh cilantro and Adobe sauce that layered with flavor! Good service, relaxed atmosphere. I'm jealous of the folks that live within walking distance of this gem.

The Al Pastor was sold out so I went with the carnitas, which were tasty but not greasy. They also have a mini salsa bar so you can put whatever salsa you like on your tacos. Wasn't a big fan of the horchata though. Outdoor dining is available.

It's Taco Tuesday in Burlington's old North end and there's no better place to be, than Taco Gordo. It's a local hub of loud, standing room only, self-service deliciousness served up in baskets of bueno. With a full bar, and a creative Inez mixing up everything from standards to special requests, you really can't go wrong. Start with the chips and guac, especially if you're like me and love your fatty avocado cut with a little extra acid...and don't forget the agua, because there's no sparing the salt on the snappy house made tortillas. It was tempting to try it all...but I limited myself to a taco tinga, pork tamale, and guac tostada. The tostada arrived crispy with a healthy dose of cilantro that I really enjoyed. The taco was both light and satisfying with a good mix of flavors...if you're seeking senseless heat, this is not a hot pepper challenge. It's good authentic food. While the masa was on the dry side (likewise the rice), the pork tamale was full of flavor. With a side of rice and beans, my three choices turned out to be more than enough for a fulfilling and enjoyable meal. It's close quarters, but most of our nearby diners we're friendly and eager to share in conversation. I was concerned about one man at the bar who appeared to be gnawing on his forearm, until I watched him dip it in salsa verde and realized it was a massive burrito. Next time, Taco Gordo...next time...mi amigo.

Lily Merchant

Awesome burritos and AMAZING homemade chips and salsa! Cute outdoor seating and fun inside vibe (but crowded when waiting to pick-up a to-go order)! Definitely recommend to friends!

Lauren Block

Some of the best food and tacos I have eaten. These flavors are incredible. There’s a perfect amount of variety of delicious meats and veg to choose from. And the cocktails are just as great. Plus the staff is friendly and super helpful. I had an amazing meal!

Pandora Box

I absolutely love this place! I can tell you this is probably the most authentic Mexican place I’ve been to in VT. I was very surprised at how good the tamales are! And the tacos! Wow I can’t even explain they are so good! My only issue and I’m still giving this place 5 stars because it has nothing to do with the food It’s the staff. There’s 2 guys that are so nice but some of the girls seem so bothered and almost like they don’t want to be there. I don’t know why it looks like such a fun place to work at. But every experience I’ve had has been kinda bad they don’t smile kinda give you a you’re annoying me look and it’s uncomfortable. Never content with the tip and now it’s 18% and up. It’s happened all the times I’ve been there and I go there a lot! That’s the only thing I hope the owner will read this they legit look annoyed to be there specially last time I went there was a new girl and I felt like I was bothering her. It has nothing to do with the food! The food is incredible and I will be a regular costumer as long as they make those delicious tacos!

William Oliver

Ordered three tacos and chips/salsa for takeout, service was so fast and the food was amazing. Absolutely no complaints.

Jessica Hood

Absolutely delicious food and great drinks! Quick service, great staff! Will absolutely be going here again and again!

Kate Cartwright

If you haven't been to Taco Gordo, go today!! These are the best tacos I've had in Vermont. The flavor in the brisket and al pastor...so yum. Make sure you hit the toppings bar for pickled onions and house-made hot sauces, and definitely get a mezcal cocktail! The bartenders are all 🔥💯 …

Michelle Sloneker

Taco Gordo is awesome! Their online menu is marked for food allergies, including gluten-free, which is great for me, since I have Celiac. I got the bean, al pastor, and chicken tinga tacos and they were all great. They were flavorful, but not overly strong, and the chicken tinga was one of the best I've ever had!

Christopher Peck

Gave them another chance, and indeed the food was perfectly prepared (not over-salted) for three orders in a row. The tamales are outstanding, and I don’t remember having better in my life. One remaining complaint is something Taco Gordo maybe can’t fix: the space is extremely cramped. I wouldn’t dream of dining in, but even on weeknights you have to fight your way to the takeout counter.

Sean Mitchell

For years Mad Taco was the only option for authentic tacos in Vermont. Upon visiting Vermont for the first time in years, I am ecstatic to confirm that Taco Gordo has not only successfully dethroned Mad Taco, but has raised the bar with Al Pastor that would fool a Mexico City native. If you love tacos, you'll love Tacos Gordo. PS: I'm sure their burritos and other offerings are good too, didn't try, I'm a taco purist.

Kyle

Previous reviews comparing it to the Southwest, well VT is in New England aka the Northeast. I lived in a Southwest state and have been hunting around VT. Taco Gordo was great! Guac was okay, salsa was awesome, beef tostado was awesome, chicken and fish tacos were good, margarita was a pleasant surprise on something simple that plenty of places still can’t get right. Most off all, the staff was excellent. Everyone had a smile on their face even on a 90 degree day and were very polite. Great spot you should check out.

Jerry Ffvt

We had a party of 6 and sat outside, our server arrived promptly and brought us the ‘usual’ amenities. After placing our order our food arrived quick and hot which was nice because they were fairly busy and I expected a longer wait. We had a nice sampling of the menu, tacos-chicken, brisket, beef… and tostadas, along with beans and everything was tasty and flavorful. The tacos were presented with soft corn tortillas and you have a choice of ; or 5 sauces, from tomatillo and jalapeño, to a smoky red hot sauce (chipotle?) all were tasty in the ranges of heat. The ONLY negative thing I would have to say is cost….over $5 for one taco, no sides with that, just $5+ for one taco. The service was fast and the servers were personable, service with a smile and in MY book, that counts for a lot (especially now a days) This is a basic sit down place, not fancy, definitely feels like a ‘locals’ place.

Hiroikku Neko (Hironya)

In my entire life, I have Never had a burrito as good as this one. I feel like Gustav when he took a bite of Remy’s ratatouille. Bravo, Bellísimo!

Kyle Smith

My favorite taco spot in Burlington with great margs and impeccable service every time!

Samuel Coleman

Great food, surprisingly filling for just a few bucks. The carnitas tacos are delicious. All of their salsas are outstanding. Great guacamole and good cheap Mexican beer. We fed our family of four for about $40. one person can eat here for about $10. Great food great value!

Justin Silverstein

Every item we ordered tasted great. Service was outstanding.

Loona Brogan

My friend said her Marguerita was mediocre, but we both found the food to be delicious. I enjoyed the smoky-medium-heat salsa that came with the chips than did my friend, whose palate is more sensitive to heat. She blended the Verde sauce with the Roja to get the right amount of kick for her. Vaccination proof required, casual nightlife vibe... good choice of beers. The tamale could have been a little more moist but overall I was very happy with our decision to eat there.

M Fish

There are not enough stars for this phenomenal taqueria. Each variety of taco and salsa bursts with flavor. The tortilla chips are quite salty, but not unpleasantly so if you enjoy them with salsa. Absolutely coming back on my next trip to Burlington.

Samantha Konare

Went on a Friday night average noise level for atmosphere, food came quickly and was good. Nice flavors and friendly staff. Would definitely go to again!

Wesley G. Kenney

The tacos here are the best in Burlington. The magic of the food truck has translated to the restaurant well!

Kush Mangat

I'm a fan of the traditional tortilla/meat/onion& cilantro tacos and these folks make some of the best. Salsa bar and toppings if wanted and a really solid beer selection.

B CL

Really quick service with great tacos. Had the chips and salsa, el pastor taco, chicken rings taco and the pinto beans taco. All great.

Joseph Porcelli

One of the best places to get tacos outside of Mexico where I lived as a kid.

M

Delicious vegan burritos, large portions, and good chips, salsa, and guacamole.

Brian

Just... just go. Go, and stuff your face with some of the BEST tacos and yummy others that you've had in forever. Open for indoor, outdoor dining and takeout. Always clean facilities and friendly staff. Finding close parking is harder after 3pm. DID YOU GO YET???

Ryan Osswald

They have a legit salsa bar. This is everything tacos should be. Amazing house made salsa and hot sauce, hand made corn tortillas, flavors with depth and just the right amount of spice and not over priced.

Dave Hannigan

The tacos are really good. I had the carnitas and chicken tinga. Both were delicious. My only critique, which is going to sound weird, is they had too much meat In them. And it took away from the integrity of the taco. I didn’t find them salty when I visited. And the salsa were very good too.

Lisa H.

This place is perfect on many levels. Friendly and low-key plus totally affordable. It would be great for families with little kids as the average portion is small and cheap. No worries about making a mess. We loved the full-service bar and self-service tables! Beer for 3.00!!!! Pay more if you want. The condiments were lovely. The tacos are delicious. Vegan choices available. Mexican bottled coke goes great with the food for non drinkers. We were also impressed with numerous and efficient staff. Owners don't appear to be trying to save by skimping on staff, which is nice. Our only suggestion: consider some great music like Sylvio Rodriguez (Cuban), or Mexican New Song musicians (Mexican roots music). 😀

ashley adams

Cannot recommend strongly enough. Attention to allergy details, they don’t serve gluten or dairy in the store (usually) which is a huge plus for this allergy queen. Best tacos in town. Always have been; even off the cart years ago. Sauces are INCREDIBLE and must have the pickled onions. PS- ask them to bring the tamales back if you’re there.

Lindsey Pekurny

Awesome tacos and burritos. Their vegetarian options are always really good - I love the jackfruit tacos, veggie chorizo, and guacostada. Great guacamole and chips too!

Kelsey Brandin

We got Taco Gordo for takeout (haven't dined in yet). Got a brisket taco, carnitas taco, a burrito, salad, and a few sauces. I'd give the spot 3.5 if I could, but going with 4 here since they really make a great effort to keep their produce sources local, which is awesome. The tacos are on the small side (you'll definitely want more than one or two), and definitely too expensive for what they are (albeit only by a buck or two). The brisket was pretty dry which was a bit disappointing, if they used the brisket you can get at Meyer's it would be killer. The carnitas was delicious though, super flavorful and had a great crunch. The sauces were great also, specifically the medium spice serrano one. The salad and burrito were also both small for the price, and the chicken in the burrito was a bit dry. Given a regular bean burrito is $9, with chicken added an additional $3 (not sure if it's local chicken), and a light smear of guacamole at another $2, a $14 smaller burrito with dry chicken, minimal guac, rice and beans is on the overly-pricy side - especially when compared to a place like Bueno y Sano. Overall, if things were just a little less dry and a few bucks cheaper across the board, this place would be one of my most-visited spots in town (who doesn't love tacos?!). Hopefully with more success they'll find a way to decrease cost just slightly, as it's definitely tough to compete with chains AND afford what I assume to be absurdly high rent in one of Burlington's fastest growing communities.

My Project Concierge LLC

This under the radar eatery has a great vibe. These Authentic tacos are the real deal! Guac and house made chips are a must to accompany any taco option. My favorites: brisket, pulled pork, or chicken. I am a meat lover but vegetarians will be happy here as well.

Will

Other reviews seem to be complaining about the prices. Taco Gordo's prices are actually on par with other premium taco joints in VT. Mad Taco averages like $6 and Stone Corral is like $5. The prices seem fine to me. I would say these tacos are a bit smaller and not quite as creative though. I, unfortunately, was a little underwhelmed by the selection and the quality. There are only 5 taco options to choose from and only one vegetarian option. That is pretty limited for a dedicated taco joint. I ordered the brisket, carnitas, and bean tacos. The brisket and the carnitas had great flavor, but the meat was a bit dry on both. The bean taco was just bland and unexciting. The fresh chips and guacamole were very good. I would have gone up to 5 stars if the selection was better and the meat was juicier. I would definitely try them again if I'm craving tacos and don't want to leave Burlington. But after two trips you've basically exhausted the menu, so for me it's worth the drive to Essex for Mad Taco or Richmond for Stone Corral.

Aaron Millet

I'll make this pretty simple. There aren't a lot of places to get actually good tacos in the area. This place has actually good tacos. My only complaint is I wish it was a bit cheaper. Some more value focused combo options would be nice for example. I understand the price though and it's worth it. Clean and modern dining space. Awesome flavors, tasty specials, and friendly staff. Go to Taco Gordo!

El W

Excellent tacos and beverages. Prompt and friendly service. Great spot

jo robin

I have eaten in this great place in person and have, as of tonight, ordered delivery. The food was hot, prompt and delicious. I had their chips and house salsa, which was cumin forward and really delicious. I also ordered their house guacamole which was really pleasant. I also ordered the chorizo burrito with cheese and guacamole and a take out Margarita which honestly, really made the meal. As a local chef, I highly reccomend.

Anton N

I don't really remember the tacos all that well because of boozing, but I do remember that they were delicious! They've got everything you could want from the most popular types of tacos and I'm fairly certain their menu changes often. If you're in the mood for tacos in Burlington I'd check this place out!

Parker Soares

A great casual spot with a simple menu to pick from. Choices include Carnitas, Chicken, and bean, among a few others, and plenty of sauces and toppings to add on top. My only negatives was the moderate noise level, and one taco (5-6") is $4-5. Ultimately worth the money, but servings are on the smaller side. Would recommend to most anyone, and somewhere I will visit again.

Nicole Carey

Super delicious tacos, a variety of salsas, hot sauces and taco toppings, really yummy drinks and a great ambiance and friendly staff. I can't wait to go again!

Aireen Krizea Clarete

Tasty! I would suggest they should try re arrange their order counter because when it gets too busy, it gets overcrowded and really confusing, some staff kept on asking us to move away when we were actually in the middle of placing our order. We had tacos to go and a glass of beer. It’s on a very tight space. It should be located where customers can order pleasantly and not in the way of waitresses, costumers picking up to go. Queue can get pretty long and the order counter is just right next to the condiments table. But again tasty tacos!

Todd Tomasi

So the food is good but the portions are lousy. I placed a $30+ order. I ordered a burrito, chicken taco(s), and carnitas(s). Thought it would be enough for me and my family. Nope, I was super hungry and thought for the price I'd be getting double tacos. The food never made it out of my car. I was that hungry and it was delish but come on. I housed 3 flour tortillas for $30. Kinda ridiculous. The burrito was much bigger but had fillers like beans and rice.

T-Bone Mar

A solid taco spot in town. I tried a couple different tacos that they reccomended and it hit the spot. The people were polite and helpful. We'll be back for more!

Becca

Just ok. Chips were disappointing, al pastor and chicken tinga tacos were pretty good but nothing special. El cortijo is better.

JG DeBiasio

First time ordering. Easy, fast, friendly. Waited outside , got a text and they called my name when ready. Variety on menu limited but good. Uses compostable containers. BTW, if your gift card doesn't work, check again for the balance on the website as there's a glitch but staff is great about correcting the issue.

Jake Card

This place is so delicious! Some seriously awesome tasting Mexican food. I got a brisket burrito and my wife got a tinga burrito, and we both wolfed them down and wished we had more. We’ll be back a LOT!

anniebikes (anniebikes)

First time. Tacos are delicious, margarita tasty. Chips are unusual but nice and crunchy. Fast service. Family friendly Decor could use improvement. Med. Priced.

Christina Merriweather

We did takeout and the food was ready pretty quickly. We ordered the carnitas, brisket, and chicken adobo tacos along with a side of guac and chips. While we enjoyed the guac and chips, the tacos, not so much. The chicken was heavily heavily seasoned with Adobo and the carnitas was very very salty. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish them because it just basically tasted like salt. Will probably not eat there again.

Yoga Chick

The tacos are fine and the prices are reasonable. Burlington's Taco scene is ridiculously overpriced. The quality here is mediocre, the atmosphere is bare-bones, and you get what you pay for. Perfectly fine nothing to write home about not a great value but a better value than El cortijo the other Taco game in town

a google user

Excellent tacos and drinks. It's a must to order the carnitas and "Ariana Grande" drink. Meat was very tender for canitas. Our bartender was very nice and gave great recommendations. Definitely sit at the bar for full service or else you stand in line to order then choose a table. A little pricey, was $50 for 2 people but best tacos in town. Service was a little slower, but the wait is well worth it. Chow down on some chips and salsa while you wait.

Lilly Romano

If you're looking for contact-less food delivery, look no further! Delivery was estimated 1-2 hours from time of order placement, but don't let those estimates dissuade you. We received our order in under 30 minutes. We got an assortment of tacos & a couple margaritas. All fantasic. I would have waited the full 2 hours.

Richard Polhamus

If you haven't tried all the varieties of the tacos, please make it your quest to sample the entire range of magnificent delights!! Each one has it's own way of asking you to have another. The hot sauces are killer high notes, too. The cocktail menu has several new house designed mezcal and tequila drinks with house made fruit juices that are unique and creatively made with attention to detail.

Erik Post

Very flavorful brisket taco, and the hibiscus beverage is the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Prompt, friendly service, too! I look forward to my next visit.

Jorge Wolynski

I was born and grew up in Puebla, MX. Home of the best tacos in the country. So I'm pretty demanding about my tacos. I never expect a good taco unless I get it back home. I have been to San Francisco, Texas, Chicago, NYC, Philli, and these are by far the closest to the real thing I've ever had in the US. They have my full stamp of approval. The tortillas are fresh and perfect. The Green salsa at the bar is on point. The meat is cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Hope they open more locations around town soon!!! Loving it!!!

McCall Eddington

So yummy. It was a good amount of food too. I had the brisket taco and the carnitas taco. Oh my goodness, it was delicious. My husband had the brisket, El pastor and carnitas. The only draw back was it was quite oily... But the taste was so yummy.

Brandon Lawson

Best Mexican restaurant in Burlington. The drinks are great and the food is awesome. Not too expensive either. The al pastor is fantastic.

Daniel Bornstein

Very average Mexican food. Used to be way better.

Just Me

Disappointed that with takeaway, you aren’t given any utensils nor napkins. Takeaway doesn’t mean it’s always going home! You’re already giving me tacos dripping in oil, how aren’t you going to give me any napkins! No hot sauce included, no option to buy water (horchata or alcohol only???), just meat + onion and cilantro. Not even a double tortilla like you would find at most authentic or near authentic taquerias. At least the meat is moist and tasty 🙄

Juan Garcia

Food was Great yesterday, went back the next day and it was good except for my Burrito which I order Brisket, rice, bean and Cheese but they forgot to add the meat.... I noticed when i got home it was to late to go back...

Hannah Hartnett

Excellent tacos. Would highly recommend. Place your order then find a seat. Each taco $4-5. I don’t usually pay that much for tacos but these were excellent and worth it

Starr St James

This is my favorite place to eat and I always get the same thing: the Al Pastor tacos. They're super authentic and one of the best things you can put in your mouth in this town. Then I also get the El Duderino drink- housemade horchata with coffee tequila. It's the best. If they were open for lunch I'd be going there right now. The vibe is very casual and comfortable and the bartenders are all awesome. It gets great light in the afternoon.

chadinvt

Tacos are hard to find up here... eat these because yes they are that amazing.

Liisa Reimann

Delicious and unpretentious. I would eat here every day if my wallet and waistline could handle it! Decent prices, excellent drinks, creative dishes, fresh +flavorful, and a neighborhood atmosphere.

Ethan Tobin

Best tacos Ive ever had in my life. Great staff. Will return.

Sam Naring

Taco Gordo provided us with a tasty dinner during our recent stay in Burlington. It is a hole in the wall and the food was just as good as you would expect. We had fast service even though the place was crowded. It looks like a warehouse and the plants around the perimeter of the interior were a nice touch.

Nathan Moxley-Kelly

Overpriced, but good quality. 2 tacos + side of rice and beans = 13.86$ and I'm not remotely full (I'm a 165lb regular guy). Food is very good, but I wouldn't recommend this place unless you are on a diet.

Carolyn Zeller

!Muy delicioso! I would eat Tacos Gordos every night if I could! The al pastor is the flagship and is the best. The margaritas and horchata are amazing. I like how they retained some of the character and qualities of the old beverage redemption and corner store. It's important to honor your ONE heritage. All Souls Tortillairia is on the other side of the wall and they make the best tortillas in Vermont. Vermont was lacking until All Souls started in the Mad River Valley, and until Taco Gordo started as a Church Street food cart. I am so glad they found their homes in Burlington's Old North End.

Jenna Olson

Best burrito in Burlington, hands down. Takeout is prompt, and they do an awesome job packaging so your food doesn’t get soggy (which is tough with Mexican fare!) highly recommend!

Anna L

El pastor taco carnitas Gordo burrito , and a house margarita to go.

B R

Too Salty. Food is decent but gosh why is everything is so salty? It takes away from the flavors. They even pour tons of salt on the chips. No good. Use less salt

Marla Emery

First visit to Taco Gordo. But not the last. The pork tamal and al pastor taco were great, as was the flavorful, crunchy jicama salad. Now to try more items on this small but we'll pitched menu!

Charlie Giancola

Tasty food and drinks. Kinda weird layout but it works.

Joe Wehry

Enjoyed their burritos and chips with salsa. Outdoor dining is nice, and often busy, but with the wait if necessary.

Kelt Wilska

Cheap, authentic, delicious. Great casual vibe. Get the al pastor if it doesn't sell out in the first five minutes. So many salsas to choose from.

A. P. Blake

Love how easy it was to order online. The food was assuredly not authentic mexican/latin (which became obvious from reading the menu) but it was still delicious. Great ingredients.

Juanita Hernandez

Taco Gordo was a good lunch choice. I got the carnitas burrito and chips and salsa. The burrito was good and the chips were crunchy. The red salsa is more like a paste and gad a different taste but it was good. Loving the veggies in the burrito and the green salsa was yum. I wouls go here again and have tacos next time instead of burrito.

Paul Rangel

Was pricey for portions. But good.

Neil Marriott

Taco Gordo is giving El Cortijo a run for its money. My wife and I eat tacos everywhere and I can tell you Taco Gordo has it going on and definitely has it figured out! The tacos are the right price and damn good, you can not go wrong.. Do yourself a favor and go here if you have not already and no doubt if you have been you will be going back...

Marie M

Tacos are very good...but too small! Jicama salad was good...but too small for the $3 price tag. Jicama salad wasn't worth it. But otherwise, people are very friendly.

Ramandyal Khanna

The el pastor was amazing ! Beans could have been better but the salsa were doing their job. I would just go there for the amazing el pastor pork !! There is modelo on tap and the staff are really nice

Bo Meisl

yoooo the scorpion bowl !!!! honestly tho.. u can spend as little or as much here n leave w a full belly n heart <3

Thomas Martin

Place is always awesome with a great vibe and service. Small local staple and I try my best to make it in every Wednesday night. As guy feiri says welcome to flavor town

Mark Sidwell

Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils.

caitlin vamvas

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere, delicious tacos, and refreshingly strong cocktails. Personally I really enjoyed the carnitas and the green sauce at the salsa bar.

Patrick Morales

I can never find a good Mexican food place that's up to my Latina mothers standards but taco gordo did not disappoint. Great food, clean environment, fast service, five stars 👌 …

Auruddha Antaneel

This is what I call quality customer service. The order was late because of the shoddy APIs Square set them up with. It was not there fault. They still owned it and made it up to me. I'm impressed and I'll definitely be back.

Deanna Rios

Had two tacos, two Cadillac margaritas, chips, salsa and guacamole and it was delicious. Best tacos in Vermont. Sat outside and it was a beautiful night.

Solal Hecker

Excellent taco and margaritas, love that restaurant. Not always easy to get a table.

Glenn Berntson

Sat at the bar. Service, food and drinks were awesome

Colin Wyler

Best tacos in Vermont. Authentic and Spicy Salsas, fresh cocktails, and a fun energy. This place is the bees knees. Affordable too!!!

Suzanne Parker

Delish tacos in an unassuming street corner setting. Easy order online during COVID times. Highly recommend the brisket taco!

Brie Clayton

I'm from taco wonderland, and that's not fair, so for the speedy cheerful service you get at Taco Gordo, I still give it 5 stars. Tacos are alright.

Jeffrey R

Good tacos with flavor cool atmosphere and great bar tenders.. good to have in the hood .. they have a sauce staion to add the magical Ness to your tacos and most orders are quick.

stogesmcgee

I'm from Cali I know Mexican food this place does it right Modelo cans as well

Matt Beckert

Good taco. No dairy - so if you are hoping for cheese or sour cream look elsewhere. Also, avocados were a no show when we went.

Paul Murray

Waiting for a table not cool, but the food and staff were great.

Adam Schlesinger

Super yummy. Everything is fresh and tasty!

Andy Kershaw

These are the only tacos I have had on the East Coast that rival what I could get in the Bay Area. This place is awesome! Always busy for a reason.

Justin Chuang

Excellent tacos with some rotating specials. Good beer and tequila selection. The space has a good vibe and the bartenders friendly.

Warren Amidon

Their meat is perfect. Great selection of hot sauce. Efficient service. 100% recommend.

Kyle Williams

Love this place. We go once a week, and leave stuffed with delicious tacos and about 5 shots each for 50-60 bucks.

Chelsey Jo

Really good margaritas. Wish there were more veggie taco options, but still really good! Love the atmosphere.

Bridgett Eisler

It was a little pricey but totally worth it. The tacos were out of this world. I highly recommend the al pastor!

Scott DeCristo

The burrito is excellent here, best one you can get in the area. I also like the taco's.

Sam Stats

Quick service and delicious food! Good size servings and wonderful drinks!

Olivia Benjamin

Really great tacos!! Could use some AC and fresh salsa but definitely a good spot

Chan Tran

Tacos were good but not worth price imo. A bit too pricey and the taco & burrito were small.

Roger Kirkpatrick

7 tacos and 3 beers, I feel like I ate a bowling ball. Worth it? Yessss. That Al pastor is spot on.

Jake Mostov

Food is good, but very oily. If you order takeout don't expect to get lids for your drinks.

Mack Doyle

Lived up to the hype. The tinga taco and bean taco were the best in my opinion.

Kristopher O'Neill

Great quality and taste, reminds me of West coast Mexican food! Better than El Cortijo, which has gotten complacent with quality.

Marion V

Walked up in person and ordered to go. Mistake, online orders are process the same as in person. The wait was like 45 min. ORDER online...why wait?

Mark Binkhorst

Amazing authentic tacos. Chill vibe, good music and the barista looked like she knew how to mix a good cocktail

Patrick A.

The food is very fresh, very delicious. Drinks are pricey, but they have some that are more affordable.

Blair Wolston

Creative and delicious tacos, casual vibe, good tunes, affordable eats and attentive staff. Check it out!

Bob Leidy

Everyone was so kind and the food was delicious and reasonably priced! Really enjoyed the flavors and the absence of cheese.

Alejandro Plaza

Like in Mexico ! Fully recommend

Jared Danowski-Harlow

Great Mexican food and good mixed drinks. Laid back casual feel

Rose Allen

Good tacos, good service. Didnt try the alcoholic drinks but they have great horchata.

Patrick Ryan

This is by far the best taco in Burlington. The cocktails are fantastic.

Pete Bruhn

So glad they made the move from food truck to physical location! Great tacos and cocktails.

Michael Bananas

A little pricey but well worth it. Best tacos in town by a long shot.

Taylor Schneider

Great food for a reasonable price! A great addition to the Old North End and it's cultural culinary blend!

Jon Mendel

Love it. Good drinks. Great tacos. Tinga might be my favorite.

laura ruhlman

Best tacos we've found in Burlington.

Christopher Ivanoff

Good food, a bit pricey for the amount we got. They also forgot to give us our full order. So we ended up paying for something we didn't get. I couldn't leave a review on the ordering site so I had to leave it here.

He can't speak Spanish. I think it's just the food for the gringos. how sad. There is no Mexican food in this state. I just want a taco and margarita.
