"Conceptualized to bring consistent (and good) Mexican food in a casual atmosphere to New York City, Gordo's Cantina has become one of Bushwick's most popular hangout spots. Powered by Chef Reyna Morales, diners can expect classics from Mexico City like black tiger shrimp tacos and roasted poblanos." - The MICHELIN Guide
"If you’re looking for more Mexican takeout or delivery in the Bushwick area, you can order Gordo’s online. They even have a seperate vegetarian section of their takeout menu. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"With a name like Gordo’s, you can be sure that portion size isn’t an issue. Of course, nobody is complaining, thanks to the talents of Chef Reyna Morales, who hails from Mexico City and whose careful handling of familiar favorites goes a long way.In the case of tacos, black tiger shrimp arrive under a blanket of melted menonita cheese and are delicious both with or without the tortilla. For quesadillas, a layer of cheese is griddled into the tortilla and then served open-face, piled high with roasted poblanos and sweet corn. This Bushwick hangout also dishes out a satisfying mole, as seen in enchiladas stuffed with tender shredded chicken. Over-ordering is most likely; yet, you’ll probably leave with takeout boxes and that is a good thing indeed." - Michelin Inspector
