Tacos El Gordo is a family-owned restaurant that has been serving food since 1972 - 50 years! Since Tacos El Gordo opened its first restaurant in San Diego more than 20 years ago, they have perfected their recipes for the perfect tacos.

While there are other menu items, you can't visit Tacos El Gordo without at least trying some tacos. The Adobada, (spiced pork) and Azteca (grilled beef and cactus) are some of our favorites, but they also have plenty of other types of tacos to try as well if you are feeling adventerous.
