Gordo's Tamales — Restaurant in Lake Township

The food here is delicious. The first time I went and saw their menu on tvs had me excited about how the food was actually going to taste due to the fact that the food in the pictures looked delicious. And they did not disappoint. After I had Covid in 2020 my taste in any kind of protein was never recovered I couldn’t eat and enjoy it but this place became the only place i was able to. I do recommend coming here however, the prices are ridiculously high!!! Just for myself and my husband our total was $90. If they weren’t that expensive I’d like to come maybe 2 times a month. But with it being this expensive we go once every 3-4 months. This last time i was disappointed with their tamales barely had any meat and when it did it had chunks. All in all their food and customer service is great. The prices is the issue but it is what it is since prices are not going down...

The tamales from this place are amazing! And as a critic of every new tamale I eat from several places, these are really good! They are also pretty big and you feel like you get your money's worth. I tried the Oaxaqueños and the regular tamales. Of the regular I recently had the red tamales with pork meat, green tamales with chicken, and rajas w/ cheese, all pretty great. Only downside was having to wait an additional 10 mins for the rajas w/ cheese because they did not have them ready but the cashier gave me a free tamale for the inconvenience. I didn't mind waiting so much because they are really good. The champurrado and atole de arroz con leche are also really good. Would definitely...

I ordered here for the first time and it was a hit The al pastor taco "marinated pork " was delicious and had a good meat ratio. We ordered 3 mole tamales which I've never had so I had to try, paid about 20 dollars for that the tamales had mole and chicken inside the tamale the mole sauce had a small back heat but really impressed on the flavor! The asada "steak" torta was very filling it had a great meat ratio as well loved that they didn't take a long time and when I got home the food was still hot. If I can mention the asada was a little bit salty but some might like that I didn't mind therefore I still gave it a 5. I will continue to eat local and this is...
