"An extremely popular Las Vegas destination since 2010, Tacos El Gordo is making its first move south of the Strip: I learned it's planning a stand-alone restaurant within walking distance of Town Square after filing paperwork to build a fourth local outpost that would replace a former vehicle storage site. The 7,497-square-foot, built-from-scratch venue at 2550 W. Sunset Road (at the intersection with Windy Road, facing Texas de Brazil) will not include a drive-thru but will feature an outdoor dining patio and plenty of parking. The restaurant plans to serve the same Tijuana-inspired menu highlighted by freshly prepared guacamole and salsas, plus bold-flavored tacos, mulas, tostadas, sopes, and quesadillas; it did not provide an estimated debut date or future hours. On the Strip, Tacos El Gordo continues its role as a legendary late-night haunt and also operates on Losee Road in North Las Vegas and downtown on Charleston Boulevard." - Bradley Martin
