Las Vegas: Tacos El Gordo – More popular than ever
The Mexican chain Tacos El Gordo is super popular in Las Vegas, but for a year, the most visited restaurant on The Strip (just north of Wynn/Encore) was closed because of a disagreement with the landlord. The branch opened again in late 2015, and today it seems more popular than ever.
There was a long line outside, when I went to get a much longed for portion of Al Pastor (tacos with marinated pork), but lucky for me, most people were queuing for the Lengua (beef tongue), so I didn’t have to wait long to place my order.
Earlier, Tacos El Gordo used to have a patio in front of the restaurant, where you could sit and eat your tacos, but it is gone now. Instead I found a small patch of Astroturf where I could have my taco picnic.

Las Vegas hotels are all about going big—giant casino resorts, over-the-top pools, and endless entertainment right at your doorstep. For the full experience, you’ll want to stay on the Strip, where everything is open late, lit up, and larger than life. From luxury suites to budget-friendly rooms, there’s something for everyone.
