      I often pass by this little taco spot when I drive home from work. I always wanted to give it a try. I finally stopped by and checked them out. I was craving some nachos and ordered the super nachos. This choice wasn't clearly visible on the menu but its there. It was good, not the best I have had but pretty good. Maybe add some pico de gallo and some other type of cheese to make it better. I liked the small area right outside to hang out and eat your food. Variety here is good and they do a lot of different plates with different type of meats. Good price. Quality of the carne asada was good. Very friendly and fast service by the girl behind the counter.

      Small place with only 7 outdoor tables and 6 bar stools at a counter. No indoor seating. Customer service was very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable but a little more than some places. I ordered a breakfast burrito which had eggs, sausage, potatoes and cheese in it. The size was huge. I tried the Pork and Pollo tamales. They were wide but short. The masa was moist and tasted good. The meat is the pork was more flavorful but both were yummy. My hubby got a lengua Street Taco and used the 15% off Yelp check-in coupon for a 2 chicken enchilada combination plate substituting rice for extra lettuce. He said the lengua was plain and lacked flavor. However the chicken enchiladas did have good flavor and he appreciated that they allowed him to trade the rice for lettuce. Their selection of sauces is great. They have mild, green salsa, avocado salsa, red salsa and an orange looking salsa. Their carrots with peppers were good and the limes were wrapped well and were juicy.
      Wish they had fans outside to help keep the flies from bugging us but other than that, it was a good find. We will probably return if we are in the area, but will try something other than the lengua Street Taco.

      Taquitos 9/10
      1x5 Rolled
      These were really good. Had a good amount of filling and toppings.

      Cheese Quesadilla 7/10
      Pretty basic. But I appreciate that they used two kinds of cheese. But for me, it was a bit on the bland side.

      1x Sausage breakfast burrito 10/10
      My partner had this and enjoyed it. He loves breakfast burritos though. So he might be biased.

      Beans & Cheese Burrito 7/10
      My bean and cheese burrito was alright. It was pretty big in size. But pretty meh tasting. A whole lot of the same flavor too. It needed something else to make it exciting. I added rice for 99 cents and it was still blah.

      1x Horchata 32 ounce 10/10
      Really good! It tasted creamy and had lots of cinnamon. Really good on the horchata.

      The quesadilla I got was asada. It was really bland and tasteless. It was big but wasn't good. It's still in my fridge right now. Tacos were ok.

      We met el gordito. He was cool. Came here after a day at Disneyland. I got the CA burrito. It was actually pretty good. Place is small and in a sketchy area of town. They also sell pan dulce.

      I work near by and get their tortas occasionally. I have gotten their carnitas and chicken tortas. I always order online and put no cheese and I've never had a problem with customizations. Great service and quick when I pick it up. Very quaint shack with very limited seating. Would have have recommended to others! The price is maybe a little more than other shops, but the tortas are delicious and giant.

      Taqueria El Gordito is a hidden gem! I got a California Burrito, and it was BIG!!! It was a good burrito, and I really enjoyed it. The employee who took my order was nice and friendly. There's no indoor seating since it's a very small restaurant, but there's plenty outside. Definitely worth checking out!

      The name says it all!!!

      This is a great taco, simple and done well! Not much to say other than i am coming back for sure! Beans were good and the rice was not hard and crunchy! Only negative, it is not easy to get to for my hour lunch.

      Got the Adobada Quesadilla and wow was it tasty. It was honestly so good and I would definitely get it again. Maybe even get it every time. All the people there are very nice and so kind. Would go again and get the same thing

      The California burritos are HUGE. It was literally the size of my forearm! I also got the enchiladas combo plate, and everything about it was solid. The inside is tiny with no seating, but the covered outdoor patio does just fine when the weather is fine. There's also a private parking lot, so no worries there. Check in on Yelp for the discount offer!
