Gordo's market and restaurant in Pelham will have you feeling Gordo shortly after you walk in to this slice of Mexico. With countless options such as campechano,tinga, and chorizo,this perfect little stop will put you on the baño in record time and back in line for more. Bite after bite you'll want to try their sweets selection too! From donuts to churros,this is the best thing to come from that country other than their strong hands and roofing capabilities. The horchata touched my insides like mi señorita never has before. You want comida deliciosa? Vamonos a Gordo's!

This place is authentic as I have found. Grew up on the Mexican border in Texas so have eaten my fair share of what they off. Nice restaurant in back of grocery store. I highly recommend this establishment.

We discovered Gordo's in Pelham, today. They have good tacos at good prices. My wife, my son, and I all enjoyed our meals very much. The staff are friendly and helpful.

First time at Gordon's, and went there for lunch based on Yelp reviews. I was not disappointed! I had a couple of tacos, street style, and they were everything you could want. My wife had the Heuracha, and said it was very good. Prices were very reasonable, but don't expect white tablecloths. We will be going back!

This place serves truly authentic Mexican cuisine. If you're from the west coast or you just fancy some fine Mexican you will not be disappointed here. The Al Pastor is the best I've ever had; it's made the traditional way cooked by fire. They've got tortas, tacos, quesadillas, beans, rice and plenty of aguas fresca to quench your thirst.
