My husband ordered the carne asada burrito and size and meat was great! And flavorful! I ordered the combo carne asada tacos, also very flavorful and lots of meat in the 4 tacos, it came with rice and refried beans. We definitely will come back. Service was friendly. 1st Mexican restaurant we say yes!

We just recently started coming to El Gordo… it’s our new favorite quick Mexican food place. We used to go somewhere else for quick Mexican food but wanted to try something different. El Gordo does not disappoint! Their Taco Tuesday special is a fantastic deal and they aren’t cheap with the meat (like our prior place stated doing). The quality of the meat is also great and tastes delicious. Love the shredded beef tacos but the chicken tacos are my favorite- the chicken tastes so fresh! Also, their burritos are delicious- especially the Descado burrito. Lastly, both their red and green sauce are delicious! Always greeted with a friendly attitude and the food is always fresh. My only complaint is that the beans lack flavor. Everything else has been fantastic so far! We will keep coming back

El Gordo's is the best! The word is out, and they are very busy, especially on Taco Tuesday, because their tacos are great! Generous and tasty portions for a fair price! Free salsa bar with chips, salsa, peppers, and carrots. Super fast service and really nice people here. They remember my favorite order before I can tell them. We've been regulars since they opened their new location here in the Frontier Mall, and even before that when they were an Alibertos on the west side of Prescott. We're regulars that come every week for Taco Tuesday, Casa Birria Taco Wednesday, and sometimes on the weekends for their fajita burrito (fried chimichunga style), fish tacos, or Carne Asada fries. Even just their french fries are way better than In-N-Out, or any other fast food restaurant (we order them

My son and I always get the Steak Ranchero. I like it the way it comes with Pico de Gallo mixed in but they never put too much. My son asks for no Pico. Great flavor, large portions and plenty of cheese. Go try it, you wont be sorry.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Pete Y · Nov 2025

The carne asada is mostly gristle and at least 5 or 6 days old where it tastes bad and almost like liver. My babies love tacos and are always devouring them upon arrival. Not these ones. We all shared the same reaction after about $80 of food ordered. Gross. The Cabeza also tastes very old and is full of gristle and tastes too close to liver. The chicken quesadilla was decent and the quesabirria was very soggy but ok. We sat for about an hour and a half and not one time did employees clean any of the tables even after 2 or more parties ate and left. We had to clean our own table upon arrival. Prices are very high to less than taco bell quality ingredients but much worst management. Do not reccomend.
