Following your crushing disappointment, walk 12 seconds to the other Tacos El Gordo. It’s good to work up an appetite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This isn’t the first time this location of Tacos El Gordo has closed. It closed in Nov. 2014<\/a> and returned a year later.<\/p>\n

Tacos El Gordo has long battled with the management of the strip mall where it’s wrangled some serious drunchies for years.<\/p>\n

Recently, Tacos El Gordo has operated two Strip locations simultaneously, a testament to the popularity of the brand.<\/p>\n

Now, the newer of the two locations has prevailed.<\/p>\n

“Tacos El Gordo” is Spanish for “The Gordo Tacos.” We are a blog, not a universal translator.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
