About Taqueria El Gordo

Taqueria El Gordo is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in Richmond (94804), CA, independently run.

There is no star rating on file for Taqueria El Gordo yet, so it is ranked here on how taco-focused it is (a taqueria scores above a general restaurant) and how complete its public listing is, not on reviews.

If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.

It is on 23rd St in Richmond. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.

Call ahead or check the map listing before a special trip. Small taquerias change hours often, and our data refreshes on a schedule, not live.

In our Richmond taco guide, Taqueria El Gordo is ranked #8 of 31, by taco specialisation and listing completeness. How we rank.

What to expect on the menu

We do not have Taqueria El Gordo’s exact menu on file, so this is what a taqueria of this kind typically serves, not a guarantee of today’s board:

• Al pastor, when there is a trompo turning
• Carne asada and carnitas
• Pollo, and often suadero, lengua or cabeza
• Corn tortillas, doubled
• A salsa bar with onion, cilantro, lime and two or three house salsas

For the real menu and prices, use the venue’s site or the Google listing.

For a rough idea of when to turn up, here is the median opening and closing time across the 152 taquerias in California in our data that do publish hours. This describes that group, not this venue, and should never be treated as Taqueria El Gordo’s schedule.
