Gordo Ninos: Reviews & Ratings

The shrimp tacos are so underrated. They are so flavorful and not overcooked. The pastor tacos are right behind them. Definitely going back for the quesadillas fries and burritos next. Prices are reasonable and they have specials encrusted of the week day. They even have vegetarian options as well. Amd service was AMAZING.

Tacos were awesome, great flavor for all the pastor was our favorite! Lean sauce was supposed to be the star of the show, it was outstanding and the color made it stand out (purple). Don’t know how we never tried it but it’s a great find and affordable too

Oh myyy god! I tried a bit of everything and I’m OBSESSED! The spliff tacos are I love how they use chicken. They were so crunchy the lean sauce was so delicious in everything. The shrimp tacos were surprisingly good and the shrimps were big and juicy. The carne asada and pastor were seasoned perfectly. Everything was fresh. The staff were so friendly. I cannot wait to go back! Please open a location in LA

Came in for some Htown Food and fell in love with Lean Sauce. Grab you a bottle while you there throw that sauce on everything. Burritos are good too. To be honest there has not been anything on the menu we didn’t like. Everything is Fire

I had chicken and pastor tacos. Both were delicious. The chicken is shredded, and that's my favorite on a taco. The pastor had so much flavor. I also got chips and salsa and by far the best green salsa I've had. The elote was good, but a little too salty, or maybe too much lime. The guy working was super nice and helpful
