Next time the craving for Mexican food strikes, don’t waste any time heading on over to El Gordo Mexican Grill #2 in Chandler. Boasting some of the best gas station food in Arizona, this tiny eatery may be unassuming, but it sure is delicious. You’ll never want to go anywhere else for Mexican food again!
Next time you find yourself in Chandler, don't leave without stopping by El Gordo Mexican Grill #2. Located inside the Quick & Easy gas station on East Chandler Boulevard, this unassuming eatery has some of the best Mexican food in Arizona.
Once inside, you'll hardly believe you're standing in a gas station. Between the sprawling menu board, the fast and friendly service, and the indoor dining tables (albeit only a couple of them), this place feels more like a full-service restaurant.
Let's take a look at the food, shall we? If you're stopping by in the morning, a breakfast platter with eggs, your choice of meat, rice, beans, and tortillas always hits the spot.
Perhaps you're more of a breakfast burrito person? If so, you'll be delighted to see that there are nine different kinds on the menu (plus nearly two dozen regular burritos!). Whether you like yours stuffed with beans and cheese, chorizo and eggs, or even French fries, there's something for everyone.
Taco Tuesday happens every single day here. From street tacos to regular tacos with your choice of filling to the viral "Quesabirrias" with broth for dipping, you simply cannot go wrong no matter what you order.
Other menu items include tortas, combination platters, enchiladas, and more. Trust us when we say this unique restaurant will become your new go-to Mexican food joint.
