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 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!!!

Great authentic food for a good price. Have had many items on the menu and they never disappoint. Their green and red salsa are both delicious and both have a good amount of heat to flavor ratio. If you want authentic Mexican food, and not tex mex. This is your place.

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.
