5 stars for Tacos El Gordo! The al pastor tacos are amazing—juicy pork topped with pineapple, cilantro, onions, and salsa on fresh corn tortillas. Authentic and flavorful! Lines can be long, but it’s worth it.

I have been to the location in Tijuana so I was happy to stand in line for 30 minutes to try them on downtown San Diego.  Very good, very expensive, and better in TJ.

A lil pricy for tacos about $4ish per taco. The asada is too smokey

Great late night spot after a night out! despite the crazy crowd service was fast and there was plenty of seating upstairs.
