“ This place is the real deal. Service is outstanding, we sat at the bar and the bartenders were friendly and drinks are delicious only to be topped by the out of this world tacos. It's a scene for sure but worth the trip when in Burlington. ”
“ I like the tacos pastor, toppings, hot sauces, music, funky atmosphere. Some servers very friendly! The outside is nice in warmer weather. Order at back counter, pickup, or at bar you can order from server. Limited menu, not everything is great but all adequate, some good. Selection of tequilas and mezcal. Fun place! Sometimes events with dj. ”
“ What a great place! We were in Burlington, VT for a night and looking for a place to eat in walking distance from our hotel. This was on our radar. Small but friendly and welcoming place. We sat at the bar ordered food and drinks from the friendly wait staff. Food was GREAT! If we are ever in Burlington again we will be eating here again! Thanks Taco Gordo for being a great place!! ”
“ This is not a fancy place and it's not in a fancy part of town but get past that and you'll enjoy great drinks and excellent tacos. And yes, you CAN have excellent tacos in Burlington Vermont. We arrived ahead of their opening at 5:00 pm and were one of the first tables in. When I left at 6:30, the queue was down the block and in the rain. Yes, these tacos are that excellent. I went with a variety - one chicken, one asada and one carnitas. With it, a local beer that was served cold and went well. Served street taco style - double tortillas and topped with cilantro and onions, the carnitas was good and the chicken was good but the carne asada was fabulous. The beef was tender and flavorful and there was plenty of it. Friendly service and an industrial feel with tables and chairs that don't match. And that's okay because it's all about the food at Taco Gordo. [Review 1656 of 2024 - 145 in Vermont - 22679 overall] ”
“ Pretty tasty food, I remember it being more expensive than I thought. Very filling and the meat had so much flavor. Everything tasted so fresh! ”
“ A fist punch to the face with Mexican flavors and invigorating authenticity. A Brooklyn bar in Vermont as far as atmosphere goes. Absolutely loved everything I ate and the margaritas were quite refreshing. Order at the counter and wait for the chariot to bring you your paradise. One of my new favorite places to visit in the area. ”
“ Amazing food and drinks here. In the summer the patio is beautiful and they have a great indoor atmosphere throughout the year. The chips and house red salsa is so good in my opinion. A fun twist on Mexican cuisine that you will start to crave specifically. ”
“ When I visited Burlington, I did not expect to have such amazing tacos, yet here we are months later and I'm still raving about them. We were lucky enough to stay across the street from Taco Gordo, which made it a no brainer to come here after tying one on. Wow! These were some damn good tacos. I ordered the chorizo, Al pastor and tinga - all 3 rocked my world. In fact, my buddy who lives in TX couldn't stop talking about how good these tacos were. They have a convenient take out only window and let you mix and match tacos, which is sadly less common than you might think. Prices are totally worth it for what you get. I will go out of my way to come back the next time I'm in Burlington. ”
