    Chorizo burrito
    Jacqueline T.

    If you're in Phoenixville looking for a fast, cheap, hole in the wall Mexican place, this your spot. They were very helpful and friendly. The service was very fast. You get complementary chips and salsa. My husband and I split a chorizo burrito and a steak torta. The torta was huge! I liked the burrito more, but they were both good. I tried a bite of the steak burrito and thought the chorizo was much better. It's cash only. The check was also hard to read and figure out the way it was written out. We were trying to split between multiple people and it was hard to tell how much each item cost. I'd come back again when in the area.

    Shrimp tacos made with onion and cilantro instead of chipotle mayo (I added their house made salsa and some of their guacamole)

    I need to start off by saying Mexican food is a hard thing to review. Unlike almost any other food It has a wide range from traditional-Texmex. Everyone has the style they seem to like. This was in fact a five star experience. Though it wasn't a perfect meal the good drastically outweighed the bad. We started off our meal with the usual salsa and chips that our waitress brought out to us. We ordered an appetizer of guacamole. We made her aware of my girlfriend's nut allergy, which is almost never much of a problem in Mexican food but we always make staff aware. She said the kitchen didn't have any that she was aware of she would make them aware. She was very kind and checked on this for us multiple times. Something we both don't take for granted. The salsa was outstanding. It was a verde cream salsa with avocado. It complimented my entire meal. I added some to my shrimp tacos to take them up a notch. The guacamole was super refreshing with a wonderful lingering taste of fresh lime. The way I like my guacamole. Couple minor issues. The size was easily that of a 4 maybe 5 dollar bowl of guacamole. Usually there would be an option in sizes but there was only a 7 dollar bowl. Which I assumed would at least be a medium sized bowl of guacamole. It was not. It was small and had wayyyy too many tomatoes. Still, the favor was phenomenal just felt underwhelmed by the size and excessive use of tomatoes. I ordered shrimp tacos with onion and cilantro rather than chipotle mayo. I wish they would have fried up the shrimp with a little more seasoning but when I added the salsa and some of my tomato guacamole they were bangin! Super fresh and the shrimp had a great texture. The shrimp tostada I ordered needed absolutely nothing. It was phenomenal straight from the kitchen. The little lingering after thought of lime on the end of this (just like the guac) was wonderful. It must of been in the mayo. The avocado on top with onion and tomato complimented the shrimp and crunchy corn tortilla very well. Now onto the veggie quesadilla with a side of rice and beans. Honestly one of the best I have ever had. All the vegetables were cooked correctly, not just thrown into a flower tortilla with cheese and served as a soggy half cooked mess which if you have ever eaten them consistently you know is a VERY possible outcome. They obviously took the time to let the vegetables sweat. The mushrooms in it were the star and brought that quesadilla to top level for me. I would eat it every day if I could. Finally we ended with churros which were warm, sugary and served with chocolate sauce. Not much to say here. Warm crunchy churros aren't something that should be screwed up and they did it right. Overall the meal was not perfect but their willingness to work with us, cater to our dietary restrictions, create some very memorial foodie experiences, and be genuine and kind really brought this to an easy 5. Thank you for the experience El Burrito! We will be back!

    In a word: Meh. So look, the chips, salsa, and guac are great. Really no complaints there. As far as the other food goes... Meh. The tacos were okay, though dry. They need the chipotle mayo that comes with it, they don't really stand on their own. The gordita is just a pita pocket with Mexican ingredients crammed inside, which was disappointing. I've had authentic Mexican tacos and they are exactly as they describe their gordita, so I was very disappointed when I saw the final product. The burrito wasn't anything special and also had slices of tomato and avocado hidden in it (not listed on the menu). The tomato slices are just weird, and I'm sure some people would like the avocado, but I'm not one of them, so I wasn't happy to see that in there. No idea why they don't mention it on the menu. Also ordered a sope, but it was just soggy and pretty unappetizing. It was also a fairly lazy attempt at making one. It was takeout, to be fair, but I've had take out sopes elsewhere and they still arrived crispy and delicious. And actually a sope, not just a standard tortilla. Didn't get a photo because I just tossed it out. There are far better options in this area, so don't even bother. Unless you're drunk, you are going to notice the lack of quality and wish you ordered something else. I'm sure this place does good business when the bars let out, but if you're just looking for dinner (or aren't wasted), don't waste your money.

    If you want to order queso and chips but would rather have a cheese patty that you can't dip chips into, then you've come to the right place! This came out fresh like this, what a waste of money. All the food was extremely tasteless and boring you could make all of this at home and it'd be far better. Now I remember why I haven't been back in two years. Don't waste your money, might as well go to Taco Bell.

    If you are looking for authentic Mexican cuisine served in a clean, relatively large restaurant right on Phoenixville's "restaurant row", look no further. Owned and operated by a young couple who genuinely want you to enjoy your dining experience, despite the occasional language barrier. If you are looking for Taco Bell type cuisine as was one lunch time diner placing a takeout order, you will be "disappointed" at the lack of lettuce and sour cream on your tacos al a Taco Hell. If however, you want the genuine article and crave the pinapple and spices from an Al Pastor or the slow simmered pork shoulder in the Carnitas or the spice laced Chorizo, served on double corn tortillas warmed on a flattop just before serving, then you are in the right location. The chorizo was soooo good that I could have eaten a big bowl of it. In fact, I asked them if they would be willing to serve me something off the menu at a future visit - Chorizo and over easy eggs and they were only too happy to oblige with a big smile. The complimentary chips and salsa they serve seem homemade as did the Horchata, which was served in a large beer mug. I look forward to many visits here as I wipe my watering mouth from just recanting this experience. Note: I was on the fence between 4 or 5 stars, so call it 4.5, trending up.

The food came out superbly- the skewer and "beefy were smoked perfectly. I was really in heaven with this food. I am not sure if I like the November outing or this one more. I heard that the chef here worried about perfection so much that some of the mistakes from trials would end up getting thrown out but were pretty good otherwise. I suggested to one of the vegan organizers to reach out to the owner to encourage TooGoodToGo to sell the mistakes for cheap rather than throw it away. That vegan organizer was so excited to learn about the app. Thank you TBD for caring about this event series and continuing a good community!

We were disappointed that they were out of tater tots ... it wasn't crowded at all we were like the only people there so who knows. My cousin has PKU and can only eat minimal things and loves tater tots. But oh well it happens, no worries. What really ticked me off was that once we got our meal I asked our waitress for a glass of water and her response was "uh we only have bottled water for sale ($x amount per bottle)" ..... like excuse me? What? I'm a paying customer ... at a sit down restaurant and I even ordered drinks and I can't get a glass of water with my burger? Our bill in total was like $80... we spent a good chunk of change. Made no sense and was unacceptable. I think about it every time I pass TBD bar even to this day and haven't returned since due to this experience. I mean get out of here. Pay for water lol What the heck! I was reminded of this today after passing TBD (which I do frequently) and my fiance asked me if I ever Yelped about it and I said you know what I don't think I did. Well, I hadn't and as a Yelp elite I feel it's important to make sure I share my experience; better late than never. I don't know what it's like at TBD today or if their policy has changed but man, that was a highly distasteful experience. I hate to leave a negative review, I rarely ever do, but wow.

    Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time... and it's inside a gas station…read more @elgordobros I stopped by El Gordo Bros and was seriously impressed with everything I tried. Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Service was fabulous! Started with their house-made guacamole & pico de gallo, which were both super fresh and the perfect way to kick things off. I also tried the elote, which was packed with flavor, and the fish taco, which was light, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The King Taco was another standout, and I really loved the queso birria taco; so rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great birria taco. And you can't leave without trying their horchata, which was the perfect refreshing drink to go with all the food. I also had the opportunity to try their Baja fish taco which was another stand out for me! The fish was light, the Baja sauce was so flavorful and delish! What makes this spot even more unique is that their locations are actually inside QuickStop gas station market, which makes it such an unexpected gem. Their first location started near the King of Prussia area, and they now have a few locations in the area; including this one in Collegeville. Just goes to show that sometimes the best food can come from the most unexpected places. If you see El Gordo Bros while you're stopping at QuickStop... trust me, it's worth it.

    Delicious food at a price you can't quite find these days. Thank goodness they have a low overhead…read morecamping out in what appears to be a hollowed out Wawa reminiscent of smoke shop gas station vibes without a single gas pump. Situated on a small main ave plot, with adequate parking and a stones throw away from the perkiomen trail, el Gordo bros provides the fuel you need for a quick pick me up, a burst of energy or a drunken stomach screaming for nutrition on a late night. And don't get me wrong, this is more than just your standard hangover preventing college fare; this is quality food at a price that even mass market fast food eateries (chipotle? Taco Bell? Heck even McDonald's) can't compete with. Made with love, curated to make your taste buds do the cha cha, el Gordo bros is on my save save save list!
