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.

Great food! How much you want to spend depends on you. A mind blowing burrito and water will cost 13 bucks. We on the other hand had street corn, flauta, mango sherbet specially drinks and a solid well earned tip. Thomas took great care of us and took time to get to know us. Thomas has a great personality! We are making plans for the return visit.

I didn’t have any booze there, but it looks very comfortable and friendly. I did have a taco and a burrito. They both were delicious! Crowded sometimes, but that is a good sign! Road construction made parking hard, .but it should be finished soon

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 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.

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!

No chips and salsa brought to the table was odd. I’ve traveled all over and 30 years in California chips and salsa while waiting. Small portions for tacos, and your paying good money for that. Also salsa should already be on the plate

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 was a little insulting to pay $5 for such a small side of guacamole, even more insulting to have to pay about $3 for chips on the side (not included with the guac). The food was just a little better than others in town, but nothing to write home about. Painfully overpriced for what they offer. I will give them the credit that for how busy they were when I went, the food came out pretty quickly.
