Reynaldo and his crew were kind and provided a great experience for nearly 50 guests during a typically busy time of day for them. They made everything feel seamless. We've vowed to always have a meal here whenever we visit Albertville. Please check them out. The food is delicious, the service is good and you won't be disappointed!

Events concluded somewhat early on Saturday and I wanted to make the most of my drive out that way, so I decided to drive a little farther to give Gordo's Way a try. TL;DR -- I'm gonna be making more special trips to Albertville. This restaurant is located on Main Street in Albertville. It's on the corner/end of the street. Street parking is limited but there's a large lot across the street that I took advantage of. They appear to only be open Friday - Sunday so plan accordingly! A few picnic tables are arranged in front of the entrance. The restaurant is small with room for maybe ~25 seats on the inside. You order at the counter. The menu is diverse with a lot of authentic Mexican and Central American dishes. Big focus on birria -- not just tacos, but pizza and ramen too. Service was exceptional! The young woman who greeted me at the counter was so friendly and nice. She immediately caught on it was my first visit and she graciously offered to explain the menu to me. She was exceedingly thorough - more than I truly needed but I didn't mind because she was so sweet - and she knew her stuff! If you're new to this cuisine at all, Gordo's Way would be a great place to explore because the staff will take care of you. They have several containers of aguas frescas, to include cucumber pineapple, horchata, orange pineapple, etc. I knew I wanted one but couldn't pick -- they kindly offered me a sample. The cucumber pineapple was perfect -- delightfully refreshing, not too sweet but not too cucumbery either, and so that was my choice. I ordered two birria tacos with a side of rice and beans to accompany my beverage. This was actually my first time trying birria. I've waited to try it because I wanted to try it somewhere I was confident would do it well -- reviews led me here. I wasn't disappointed. It was delicious: the beef was chewy, savory, succulent, so moist; the onions were crunchy but unobtrusive; the tortilla was thin and crispy; and the consommé for dipping was perfectly umami and surprisingly not insanely messy. The only thing that didn't completely knock my socks off was the rice. It wasn't bad, just kind of standard. The beans were, I think, charro beans -- definitely pintos, not refried. They were smoky and tender. Go out of your way to Gordo's Way -- you will not regret it.

This last time the girl at the window asked me if i wanted water or milk. I said water. She still put milk. Very annoying. It was disgustingly sweet and she couldn't even drink it. Other times it has been good and refreshing.

It comes in a pizza box and won't fit through their food truck window. Haha! The sauces are tasty. The service is about average, and they move around from place to place on occasion, and as of today April 18, 2026 they are off 431 along the side of the road heading south on the right side of the road past the Walgreens and auto parts stores. I wasn't a fan of the hibiscus drink, but I never had it before either, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I recommend if you have a family get the quesadilla! Other than that, give them a try and a review, I'd be interested to hear what other people think.

The employees seemed scared, like they were working there against their will or something, just a very strange vibe. The service was poor. The food was sparse, you didn't get what you paid for . If you order a breakfast burrito you'd think it would be loaded with mostly eggs, I'd be lucky if I had one egg in there. Didn't see the health rating until leaving that it was in the 70's. I don't understand how businesses like this one stay in business and how they don't go under. I would give this zero stars or a negative 5 but I know that's impossible. This had to be the worst Mexican food experience I've had in my entire life. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. There are always going to be people who love places like this, because they've never been anywhere good, to experience what Mexican food really should be like. Do not recommend at all!!!!!

I wish I took pictures of the taquitos as they were almost hollow and seriously overfried and borderline impossible to eat. My companion never complains about food, I would have sent it back. My cheese relino had no cheese in it and ground beef on top then smothered in cheese dip. The combo came with a taco which was fine, but a hard taco is difficult to screw up so I can't give too much credit there. Service as also meh as the same person/manager was seating new customers, checking out tabs at the front, and doing to go orders, which created lines of people at the front door where the register was located. Our server may have new, but was a very polite fish outta water, and it took 25 mins to get food. He did check 3 times while we waited for food to ask if 'you guys are still ok', so I guess there was that. There were plenty of mexican restaurants in the area, I will not try this one again on our next pass through the area.

I'd recommend the house salsa as well and mix them together if you want a little more pep in your step and spice. Favorite dishes are Chile verde! Ribeye tacos are great too.

I'm not sure what happened but I won't be back for a while.
