Taqueria Los Gordos — Restaurant in Aurora

I haven’t posted a review in a while because things haven’t been too bad. However, this place was terrible! My review is very similar to James B.’s (below). I also ordered from Grubhub, so I can’t comment on customer service or atmosphere. As far as the food goes, I can definitely comment on it. The food was tasteless and had no spice. The rice and beans were inedible. I also had a few random green peas thrown around in the rice and burrito. It was my first time ordering, but I would definitely stay away.

a year ago Delivery | Dinner | $10–20 I ordered through Grubhub but so i cant judge on service or atmosphere, but if the quality of the food is any indication of the rest it cant be more than a 3. my food was disgusting. the burrito had a huge chunk of foam in it from another container. i didn't find until i had already eaten part of it. their big burrito had peas in it for some reason, yes, green peas. why?!?! it didn't even have a bunch either, it was like 3 peas randomly.

Burrito - Mediocre at best Steak tacos - mediocre at best. Steak crunchy tacos - Mediocre at best with nothing really in them. Queso and Chips mediocre at best. Food: 1/5 | Service: 3/5 | ...

My wife and I live within walking distance, so we decided to get takeout from this establishment. Our order was ready on time, and it was correct, including the special instructions. Where our experience took a nose dive was when we tried to eat the food. Firstly, the quesodilla appetizer we ordered actually had TOO MUCH cheese! And I love extra cheese! The wedges were stacked and stuck together. My wife had a simple bean and cheese burrito that she had to eat with a knife and fork because it wasn't rolled very well and was spilling out when she opened it. I had the carnitas enchiladas. Normally, a little crispiness on the pork is great, but this pork was charred black, seriously òvercooked and the "chef" decided to use it anyway(see pic) I doubt they would have used it had we dined in. Also had had sopapillas for desert, which were great except they only gave us a small condiment container that was less than half full of honey, barely enough for 1 piece. Definitely not worth the $48.00 we paid for it all. So many better options for Mexican...

Compared to any other Mexican food I’ve had in Colorado, and I’ve lived here my whole life, their portions are generous, spice level perfect, authentic flavors, and they don’t skimp on the meat. Most places you order green chile you’re lucky to get one piece of pork in the whole bowl, theirs has giant pieces in every bite. Chicken chimichanga was stuffed so full of meat it wouldn’t close all the way when they fried it, which made it even better. Shredded chicken tastes like it was actually soaked in its juice until serving which a lot of others I’ve tried are typically dry. Highly recommend, food is consistently great and have never gotten an incorrect order or special instructions not followed :) Sadly some people don’t know what real Mexican food tastes like or how to order, go to chipotle if you want Americanized Tex mex. PS, you order delivery and it’s not warm or is soggy by the time it gets there, blame the driver not the cook, and get off your fat butt and go get...
