Upon entering, the wait to be recognized is unacceptable. Literally standing there at the entrance…read morelooking for an employee for five minutes. Other subsequent customers had to wait as well. The place is very dark inside with the theme of a jungle of plastic plants hanging overhead. There appeared to be a few real plants, but it was too dark to confirm that. The food is tasty, but overpriced for what you get. We had the feeling the money is being spent on the decor or the lease on the building rather than the food. The potential is there for a better deal without the hype. It's a "been there done that " place for me.

Updated Review: 2/5/26…read more The last 4 times we've ordered from Olgy's food truck there has been less meat, and lots of fat in the quesabirrias, making them inedible for me to eat. Since the last time we have not been back, 90% of my tacos was fat and only very little meat, which is sad because this use to be a multiple weekly place to eat for us.

Placed an order on Grubhub and the delivery service extended the delivery for over an hour after…read morethe food was already made and Grubhub canceled the order due to the change of delivery time. Now this isn't Olgy's Food Truck's fault. That's on Grubhub, but what happened after was a bit ridiculous. I replaced the order about 45 minutes later. Same items from the previous cart. I go to the restaurant to pick up the food from the second order and they refused to remake it and insisted I take the one from the first order. The food was sitting out for over an hour at this point. Ultimately this is an issue with Grubhub, but they were perfectly fine with giving me old food. That has to be some sort of health code violation. This was unfortunate as I've really enjoyed the food here but this was ridiculous to think it is acceptable to leave food out for an hour and still take it like it's nothing. I will not be coming back here. If you're placing your orders here, beware they may try to sell you old food that has been sitting for an unknown amount of time.

The food here, though, was good. One of the things I've noticed out here in the South and on the East Coast, complimentary chips and salsa are not always to be expected. They do, however, start you off with them here! The server was attentive and friendly and eager to provide anything that would make the meal better. The place is decorated very nicely, with lots of local artwork, and it's very clean making it a pleasure to dine in. I had Chile relleno and a pork tamal, one of the kids had a burrito and one had an enchilada, and my wife tried their fajitas. Nothing was outrageously awesome, but everything was good, especially for the area. The only food I've found that is better so far are street tacos on the other side of town. Chances are good that we'll be back when we're in the area.

Olgy's bought this restaurant. Now it's called "El Gordos by Pedro & Olgy's"…read more Says so right on the building. I Got the "First Time Review" on this restaurant. I posted my review & it said it was the "FTR" and then a few days later it disappeared & a fake account is the first review, which now yelp has changed three times. I been coming to this restaurant for years & I have been going to Olgy's for years. Now that Olgy's has bought this restaurant, we can get the same Olgy's menu items as the old location that I used to go to. I said for years Olgy's was the best Mexican in Pensacola, you can see all the photos I have posted there for the past several years. They are the only Mexican Restaurant in Pensacola that hand makes their own corn tortillias & makes Fresh "Oysters con ceviche." Now, they make them here at "El Gordos" just like they did at "Olgy's." Olgy's was my favorite Mexican Restaurant for YEARS bc they make everything from scratch including the local shrimp ceviche, which is the best I have ever had. They also make the best Fresh oysters on the half shell topped with their locally sourced shrimp in their Ceviche recipe. Oysters are my favorite food & their Oysters on the half shell with their locally sourced shrimp Ceviche is moi fave Oyster dish of all time. Sir Hubbers also. OuiOui :)... The old location of Olgy's was too small & not good for the Gringos, so no one ever went there and yelped except me. Now, that Olgy's has bought this Restaurant & has had it fully remodeled, the interior designed by a professional designer, it's completely gorgeous inside & out, with the same amazing food as Olgy's always had. That's called "a triple threat." NOW, bc of the remodel, it's in my top 3 Best Mexican Restaurants in America. So I have indeed been coming here for years, and I have been saying this is my favorite mexican food for years. And I indeed wrote the First Time Review that was taken from me. STILL, "El Gordo's" is the ONLY PLACE that makes hand made corn tortilla's, Fresh Oysters con ceviche, & fresh shrimp tacos, in a gorgeous professionally designed restaurant, with a full bar, excellent service & plenty of parking. Whoever still thinks the taco truck behind the gas station in Pensacola that serves commercially made tortillas is better, I got some beach front property in Arizona I would like to sell ya. In the meantime, you can drool over me "El Gordo's Mexican Grill" photos while I wear a hole in my favorite booth. You can take away my FTR but you can't stop me from stuffing my pie hole here daily. And EVERY DAY is taco day at El Gordos Mexican Grill. Just check out the daily specials on the board & Saturday & Sunday is "two for one" happy hour. Stuff that in your pie hole. Ole! Added to my "fave tacos lists" Moi "Fave oyster places list" Moi "Top 3 fave Mexican Restaurants in America lists." Highest Recommendations.

Waitress was phenomenal, very positive. Food was good. My favorite was the black beans. I was not expecting broccoli in a veggie burrito, though. I love the ambience. There's beautiful lighting around the bar, a saltwater tank as you enter the door, and at least 3 TVs for sports if you like that. Their tickets are large print, which is interesting. They give out free postcards at the end of your meal if you want that. Ratings from my table: S - 4/5 Food was fast, my plate was smaller than I expected. D - 4/5 Grits were good, rice was good, cheesedip was runny. A - 3/5 Service was quick, typical Mexican restaurant. Expensive for what we got. F - 3/5 Crab thing wasn't great. My score - 3.5/5 The black beans are VERY good... broccoli shouldn't be in a burrito though. Great service brings it up, expense brings it down.

Nobody is born a Professional Taco Connoisseur. You're made, usually somewhere off a highway,…read moresomewhere ugly, somewhere you weren't planning to stop. I rolled into Florida hungry, running on fumes, and pulled over at a taqueria that had exactly zero interest in impressing me from the parking lot. Which is, of course, always a good sign. The service was quick. The people were kind. The place was clean, and I say that as someone who has knowingly eaten tacos in questionable places. The menu was unapologetically Mexican, but it wouldn't scare off anyone who's discovering it for the first time. We got carne asada tacos. A pork tamale. A torta Hawaiiana. All of it landed well above the line, but the tamale. That tamale might have been the best I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. Masa that knew what it was doing. And the salsa bar wasn't an afterthought; it was an invitation to escalate things, and we accepted. Stop by and enjoy the tacos here, you won't regret it.

Taqueria Mi Gent has all the traditional Mexican dishes and did I mention all fresh ingredients? I've been to many taquerias and Mi Gente is one of the great ones. Any taqueria that embraces a fresh salsa bar is where it's at. Several types of salsas with varying heat and flavor levels compliments each dish perfectly. Generous portions and reasonable prices also keep your belly full and won't hurt your wallet. Highly recommend Taqueria Mi Gente. I bought a burrito to catch a flight and was delicious at 30,000 while watching a movie headed home. This is my new spot and heading back to Florida soon. Service was great and very patient in answering questions about the menu or anything else you want to know about their delicious food. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!
