Gordos - Homewood Birmingham Reviews
Only place that makes me feel back in Mexico. This is the place to eat if you want great Mexican food. I’ve loved everything that I’ve tried. Their carnitas and pozole are 10/10!
my family has gotten our cakes from gordos for birthdays for at least 11 years. it began when I forgot to pickup my grandmother's cake and was too far from home to turn around so I googled bakeries near where I was on the interstate. we got a peach tres leches cake and fell in love. their strawberry is amazing too. the service is impeccable - such friendly staff, so many of the desserts are Soo good! I haven't tried the lunch food but don't doubt it's awesome as well. highly recommend!!!
Twice now the past few months I have had them cater our team dinners of 20-25 people and they did not disappoint. Food was ready when they said it would be and it was very good.
My little secret spot for authentic Mexican tacos. This is a little hole in the wall and everyone speaks Spanish only. The food is delicious and everyone is so friendly and patient.
This will be the best food you have ever had. Every time I go I fill up on pastries, flan and tres leche cake.
Fantastic authentic Latin food. Reasonable prices and great portions. Just be careful with the salsa bar, its incredibly powerful.
Gordo's has the absolute best authentic Mexican food in Birmingham! Everything on the taqueria menu is delicious. On the weekends they also serve up authentic Tacos Al Pastor sliced fresh off of the 'meat tornado'. The market has a huge selection of great Mexican products and fresh produce. The bakery has tons of delicious pastries. If I could pick one place to eat and eat until I exploded this would be the place! What a way to go!
Good spot for authentic food, portions are right sized as well. The grocery store and accompanying bakery are a great touch if your culinary talents and sweet tooth are in the mix. It’s a true gem in the Homewood area, oh! and Menudo and pozole on Sunday as well. 😋
The dude behind the meat counter is like the soup Zar ( 90s show) .he has cero social skills
Normally, for over twenty years , very good food with value. Today 1 beef taco, 1 chicken taco with rice and beans . Normally 9.99$ plus tax and tip, but Today $ 16.83 plus a usual $2.00 tip to get something to go . I love this spot but I guess I have taco taste on a bean and rice budget. Can’t pay two hours wage for lunch !. It’s on me but never again.
