Avis sur Gordo’s Cantina Brooklyn
Born and raised in the neighborhood. Seen a lot of businesses come and go. What makes this place stand out is the homemade tortillas. At first I was a little skeptical when I saw the tacos were $4 each. Pretty high for my standards to be honest, but then the order came in and I was super excited. What stood out was the warm greeting by the staff. The efficient kitchen workers, and the best part was the food. We try a sampler for tacos. Carne Asada, Chorizo, Pollo and Carnitas. The chicken and carnitas were my favorite due to how juicy they were. The flavor profile was great, not too much salt, the sauces were fresh and the tortilla is what always makes it breaks the deal for me! Super glad to have tried them and they have gained a new customer!
Fattest birria tacos I’ve ever seen - worth the price IMO. Also super tasty, and loved the cocktails music and ambiance. Recommend the esquites, birria, and salsas.
Hands down the best Pozole I’ve ever had and I’ve had them all over Mexico. Hearty portion in a rich pork broth with tortillas on the side. If it’s on the specials menu do not hesitate to order it. Margaritas are also perfect plus the staff and vibes are on point.
Gordo's Cantina is my favorite Mexican restaurant up north, no contest, not even close. I After moving back from Texas (where I lived for five years), I tried many Mexican places in the NJ/NYC area, and nothing hit like Gordo’s. The food is consistently delicious, drinks are perfect (I really missed prickly pear margaritas, and their's is fantastic), and everything is a great price, especially for the quality! I highly recommend any appetizer, the Arrachera Asada quesadillas are to die for, so we're the chicken enchiladas i got on the seasonal menu. Every time I go I try something new and can confidently say that you really can't go wrong. The staff is always lovely, and the whole atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They’ve earned a forever customer. I’ll keep coming back as long as I’m here!
Amazing gem in Bushwick. As a native New Yorker, this is the best Mexican I’ve ever had in NYC. Food combinations are stellar and pack a punch of flavor. The shrimp tacos were top notch, get those and the quesadillas with steak and also rajas leave you happy and satisfied. I wish my stomach could handle more food, I will be coming back over and over to this one.
My mom and I were visiting a family member at the nearby hospital and we wanted to get some lunch. She specifically wanted shrimp tacos and when we asked if they had them we were in luck because it was on their specials that day! We sat down around 2:30pm on a Saturday and we had a calm delicious lunch! I had the chicken tacos with some guacamole on the side. My portion was filling for me. The staff were upbeat and kind which we always love to see. I would definitely recommend a stop here!!
Great Atmosphere! Cute spot with lots of windows, small but has good seating. Hostess/Waitress very friendly and responsive. Drinks were soooo good! We got the Mezcalitas (Margaritas but with Mezcal) in hibiscus and mango. Both flavors were excellent. Tacos are a good portion size, a little on the simple side. No sides - no sour cream. Ordered the steak, fried fish and grilled octopus tacos. Octopus was the best followed by the fish.
This restaurant was rated with one Michelin star in 2021 and 2022. It is worth checking. The food was delicious, and the portion sizes were large. They have margaritas and mezcalritas in 6 different flavors, and my favorite was the passionfruit. The staff was very friendly too! I can’t wait to come back!
I’d been to many Mexican spots in the last year that turned me off to the food and experience, and randomly on a day least expected I went to this spot not expecting much and got some of the best food I’ve had in a while. The waiter helped a lot with the choices and when they messed something up they offered dessert on the house for it, which was not necessary at all but very appreciated. This spot made me feen for Mexican food like crazy lately I can’t wait to go back. I also always hated seafood but their shrimp tacos changed my mind now. 10/10 spot 100% must try.
Awesome food. Pretty sizeable portions, quick and friendly staff, and nice cozy location. I definitely over ordered, not expecting the tacos to be as packed as they were. But it's called Gordo's for a reason lol. I got the shrimp tacos, octopus tacos, and open faced steak quesadillas. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. Will definitely be stopping by again.
Gordo’s Cantina is INCREDIBLE! They are open and have a good outdoor dining set up. Can’t wait to go back! I tried the open faced poblano and corn burnt cheese quesadilla and the shrimp tacos - both hit it out of the park. For dessert, their key lime pie is the best I’ve ever tasted!!! It’s creamy with layers of cookies and to die for! And churros with cajeta caramel and chocolate sauce were SO delicious!
Nice spot, and the drinks were decent. However, the quesadillas I ordered were overly oily,the tortilla was soaked, which made them hard to enjoy. I wouldn’t recommend them. The guacamole trio was just okay, but it lacked salt and didn’t taste as fresh as I expected.
If I could write my own definition of the word average I would be Gordo‘s Cantina as the definition. The food was average, bland and $ for what you get, the $20 guacamole is not worth it. Do not go to this place if you are looking for good food. The food trucks outside are way better more authentic and won’t let you down. Drinks are good.
I’ve been a fan of gordos for about two years and it was one of my happy spots. Unfortunately the service and food has declined. Food came out super fast and was definitely rushed because It was not super delicious as how I’d remembered. The guac was bland, the carnitas tacos were chewy. And not a lime in sight. If the prices were food truck prices, it’d be reasonable, but for a 100$ lunch for two? Not worth it at all. Very sad on the decline of this establishment, especially considering its consistent Michelin ratings. Margaritas are good though
Eh, it’s alright. Pescado tacos had a sauce on them that didn’t really jive with the flavors of cod and honestly kind of drowned out the flavor, which makes getting fish tacos kind of pointless. Food is a bit expensive considering it wasn’t stand out which was a bit of a shock since it’s on the Michelin guide
Ordered here only to wait an hour and for my entire order to be incorrect. Did not receive my vegetable tamales (the main reason i placed this order) received 3 funky greasy smelly kale tacos that were squished and cold. The fish tacos were bland, greasy and squished as well. See pictures I attached. The icing on the cake is no one at this establishment apparently answers the phone.(odd for a place that sells food?) After 5 calls I decided to go through grubhub for my refund instead of trying to give them the chance to remedy this like I initially was.
