Gordos - Homewood

LOVE 😭😭😭😭😭😭 fattest n most SCRUMPTIOUS quesadillas I had in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I overestimated myself, ordered 2 quesadillas, and couldn't finish because they were so big fat juicy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 words cannot describe my delight...

The food is delicious and the price is fair. They also have a bakery inside. They accept payments with card

Been eating here for years. The lengua taco is the best I have ever had. Authentic and good. Back there eating again after a couple of years. Such a tasty and fun place to eat and shop.

The girl at the counter was cute and she helped me figure out what to order. I got the Cubano torta and it was the best sandwich I have ever had

Great authentic food for a good price. Have had many items on the
menu and they never disappoint. Their green and red salsa are both delicious and both have a good amount of heat to flavor ratio. If you want authentic Mexican food, and not tex mex. This is your place.

Best tres leches in town. My go to for birthday cakes or whenever I am craving good tres leches with pecans.

I never thought I’d find real authentic Mexican food in Alabama. The burrito is massive and it comes with extra rice and beans on the side.

Only place that makes me feel back in Mexico.
This is the place to eat if you want great Mexican food. I’ve loved everything that I’ve tried. Their carnitas and pozole are 10/10!

This place is awesome. They give you the basic taco you want on two soft corn tortillas and you add the extras. Best tacos I have had in Birmingham. Will be going back. Price is easy on the wallet too.

Fantastic place. Whether you get a burrito or a taco, there will be meat heaped into the tortilla. It’s nearly impossible to leave here hungry.

Gordo's has the absolute best authentic Mexican food in Birmingham! Everything on the taqueria menu is delicious. On the weekends they also serve up authentic Tacos Al Pastor sliced fresh off of the 'meat tornado'. The market has a huge selection of great Mexican products and fresh produce. The bakery has tons of delicious pastries. If I could pick one place to eat and eat until I exploded this would be the place! What a way to go!

Great Mexican food, fairly priced. Stuff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast visit.

Great bakery, great street tacos, and all your groceries will be found here

A great place to get your tacos if you’re someone that understands Taco Momma is not a taco. 👌🏻 Great tacos, tortas, etc.

Good prices and very authentic. The atmosphere is very rural Mexican cantina. So nothing fancy but cozy. Hope you understand Spanish. I needed help ordering from the menu. Delicious food, good prices, and fast service.

Chimichanga al pastor, try it, love it. The lady who works the register on point and great

Google has 3 parameters for stars.
Here, on atmosphere I gave 3 because folks need to see the best Bodega/Supermercado
Ever.
Always nice folks. Delicious food.
Why do you have to climb 127 feet in stairs between three shops?
Um...that's a 3rd world introduction without Montezumas Revenge.
Things are more difficult elsewhere.
Lo Siento.
Anyway...Go in at 10:30 am on a weekday. Have cash and start at the highest door. Buy two boxes of pastries. Point and smile if no espanol. Cream horns and anything with cinnamon or chocolate.
Remember, these people invented chocolate.
Go down the stairs and get tacos if you're solo. If you have friends get a pound of lamb and a pound of something else. Get lengua and tell your friends it's pot roast. Ask for clamshells and load them up at the condiment bar. Ask for a stack of maize tortillas.
Be a hero.
Lower floor isn't worth a stop.

I wasn't expecting to find a true Mexican restaurant in Alabama but I was pleasantly surprised.

What a pleasant and much needed surprise Gordos has been. From my first phone conversation they were welcoming and accommodating and eager to serve their customer in any way they could. When I visited their store front to pick up my order every employee greeted me and welcomed me to their place. It was clean and fresh and felt like a village grocery store with its glass front meat display, fresh produce and shelves lined with provisions. I even received a follow up phone call yesterday asking how I enjoyed my order of breakfast tacos. This is the kind of business you want to see prosper and grow. Thanks for brightening my day.

Honestly everything about this place is just great. Restaurant is a plus the store has good selection on grocery that one needs. The bakery is 100% authentic in my book, on many events I have ordered cakes. Wedding cake, birthday, baby shower and so on sometimes just for the heck of it we order a cake because its that good. so yes order from this place!!
