Gordo's Tacos and Beer

This might be my new favorite taco spot. The workers were nice and got our food out so quickly. I didn’t have too much, but was really impressed by the flavor of my tacos. Highly recommend getting cheese with it as well. I’m excited to go back and try some more!

Found out that this restaurant has beef tongue in their menu and as I was craving for beef tongue burrito, I decided to give it a try. I was lucky that they have daily deal on burrito on Wednesday so I got burrito and a fountain drink for just $12. Man, I did not expect it to be this good. The tortilla was crispy from the outside and still soft inside. The meat is flavorful. I personally think there was a bit too much onion in it so next time I will have to tell them. They have salsa bar where you can choose what flavor of salsa you want and I tried the hot and hottest one and they are both delicious. I also ordered margarita and it came out much better than I expected, flavorful and you can taste the alcohol (most restaurants in Utah sadly make drinks taste like juice). The restaurant is also more spacious than I thought and has a good vibe. I will definitely be back to try their other foods

Excellent service, casual atmosphere and delicious food. The chicken and beef nachos were the best! The lengua tacos were also good. It was my first time, and definitely won't be my last.

Great location! Food is very tasty and I tried a lot of it haha. My order 1 asada taco,1 pastor, 1 chorizo, 1 carnitas, 2 quesa birria, 1 birria ramen, 1 esquite and some fries.

It is exactly what it says, beer and tacos. I had the chicken, al pastor, and beef tongue. All were very good. I loved their salsa bar, too. The orange salsa is super spicy, but it's so good. I need to come down and try more.

Just ordered take out, had to go inside to pick it up and it was clean and well organized. Pretty empty, (that was expected for the time of day) looked as though they could accommodate quite a lot. Asada in my burrito was the best I’d had in a while. Habanero salsa is delicious and wonderfully spicy too. Would definitely recommend!

Just okay overall — there are definitely better spots in the SLC area. Service at the front wasn’t very welcoming. No greeting and not very friendly, which honestly makes a big difference. Hospitality is a big reason people return to restaurants, and that felt lacking here. The quesabirria and al pastor tacos were both pretty bland and nothing special. If you’re looking for really flavorful pastor, I still prefer El Morelense. On the bright side, the chicken quesadilla was really good and the standout of the meal — I’d come back just for that.

Best taco place in town hands down. I have celiac and a dairy allergy and have been here a handful of times without any issues. This has become our favorite spot for tacos. Highly recommend.

Great food made fast. I had the crispy tacos without cheese. Fantastic item. The restaurant was clean and there is plenty of seating. RR were clean and neat.

Back again for more tacos and burrito and quesadilla! Got their Tuesday special of 3 tacos and a drink for $10 Great deal and good carne asada tacos. Carne asada burrito- filled w/ lots of meat beans and everything that makes a great filling burrito. Al pastor quesadilla- lots of meat and cheese and grilled perfectly. They have expanded their menu offering many different meats & veggie options . Their salsa bar was excellent although I did miss their pico de gallo but the habanero and avocado salsa were great.

I am doing a second review for Gordo's because it is ridiculously yummy every time! The staff are the nicest and the place has great vibes!

Gordo's Tacos and Beer offers outstanding food, attentive service, and a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that keeps you coming back. It's an ideal spot for date nights, client dinners, family gatherings, or simply treating yourself to a top-tier Texas dining experience. If you're looking for elevated comfort food in a beautiful setting, Gordo's Tacos and Beer absolutely delivers.

I had the chance to visit Gordo's very soon after it had just opened and it was great then! But to my excitement, they really expanded their menu, including offering shrimp as a protein option (one of my favorite choices of protein for Mexican dishes). This time around, I ordered food to-go on a lazy Sunday evening which is so great because some of the other great places that serve Shrimp Burritos in the area are closed on Sundays! I was able to try two of their menu items: the Shrimp Burrito and the Chicken Quesadilla! The Shrimp Burrito was toasted to perfection without overcooking the tortilla, and the filling-to-shrimp ratio was great. Nothing is worse than getting only a couple pieces of protein scattered amongst rice, beans, etc., so this was well balanced and executed. You can see from the Chicken Quesadilla photo that my husband got to it first, so I got to try a bit of what was left. The quesadilla was packed graciously with cheese and chicken, especially heavy on the cheese side! What I failed to grab a photo of was the delicious variety of sauces they had available to choose from! For my fellow spiciness lovers, you must try the orange salsa (Salsa de Habanero). It is DELICIOUS! Very robust flavor and adds quite the kick to your dish! I'm so glad that such a delicious local Mexican food place is so close to us! Whether dining in or taking out, you're bound to have a great meal!

It was okay. It was fast and cheap, but the actual food does not look the same as the pictures online. The tortillas were rather undercooked and the Taco Carnitas were bland. The Taco Carne Asada was pretty good as well as the Taco Birria and Side Consome, though! Overall, I would still return knowing what I know now after sampling the Carnitas, Birria, Al Pastor, and Carne Asada.

I think they changed some things since we last visited 9 months ago. We got the al pastor tacos again and they were pretty bad. Nothing like the ones we had last time. Probably won't be back now.

All the food is really good and at an affordable price! My favorite is the Crispy Birria Tacos W/cheese and consomé. The Asada Fries are excellent as well!! All the salsas are top notch!! That creamy red one is Outstanding!! Good location with enough seats, cool Mexican culture decor and BEER!! I recommend giving it a try!

Gordo's is one of the best restaurants out there! The food and service is always awesome and the music on the weekends is fun to be around. We love the fresh ceviche and the street corn is delicious!

I was excited to try Gordo's, but it did not hit the mark. Not only did they over charge us for two additional tacos, the food was extremely unflavorful. I ordered birria tacos with consomé and a side of corn and my friend ordered carne asada tacos with a side of rice. With fountain drinks, the total came up to $45. Let's start with the birria tacos- "crunchy" is an overstatement, the shells were extremely soggy. The meat was tender but it lacked flavor. When I dipped the taco into the consomé, it began to fall apart. The consomé lacked spice and was extremely watery, even adding more salt would've enhanced the flavor. Out of all the birria tacos I've had (and I've had many), this had the most disappointing taste. Moving onto the street corn. Oh boy, eating this made me lose my appetite immediately. Half of the cup was filled with water from the corn, and the mayo was not mixed in but rather dolloped on top. My first bite was a spoonful of mayo. The corn also lacked flavor. I could make this better at home by using trader Joe's' frozen sweet corn, draining the corn, then tossing it in cotija cheese, mayo, and chili powder. The only redeeming factor were the sauces. I enjoyed the habanero and spicy guacamole. With the small portion size and subpar taste, I can not justify coming here. I'm disappointed by my experience dining here.

If I want fake cheese on your nachos, go to this place. It's a wannabe Mexican place. If you want authentic Mexican food, plenty of good places like Maria's, Red Iguana that are 10 times better.

I am soooo sad I didn't realize this restaurant was so close to me before I moved. The food here was sooo fresh and tasty! This is my new favorite taco place in Utah. Also fun fact, they will have liquor soon for all the non-beer fans out there. They do have a great selection of beers though. As we had never been here before, the staff were friendly and nice to answer questions about the menu. We both got two Mulitas and enjoyed them! I got two and wanted another one. I tried the chicken and carne asada, highly recommend either. This is a cute establishment, great for a little date or family outing.

Barría tacos where very good, but the carne asada loaded fries were not very good, the guacamole was old tasting and the cheese wasn't melted at all... The service was quick and polite. Clean place with plenty of places to sit. Over all good for what we wanted (the barría) but a little pricy for sure...

I just happened to come across this place since it was the former home of Cous Cous Grill and I was really hungry after my chiropractic appointment at the Sports Mall. I decided to stop in and try it out. I went for a Birria Taco and an Al Pastor taco. They have a salsa bar to top your tacos off too. The staff was helpful. It was quiet when I went, but I'm sure it picks up at other times. I'll back to try other tacos.

10/10 very affordable, very fresh, super fast service, very peaceful restaurant with great customer service.

5/5 on flavor, honestly best Birria tacos I have had. We got Mexican street corn which was really good too. Al pastor taco delicious. Carne asada taco and chicken burrito are pretty good but not as good as the other two. The quality is good and service is fast and nice. You order at the window and then sit and wait for your food. It was fast and they keep the restaurant very clean. Would definitely come back here. The pricing is also so good. All this food for around $35 !

We came to Gordo's after a visit to the zoo as we had been wanting to try this place for a long time. The line wasn't long and moved quickly. I ordered a chicken burrito. My husband got tacos al pastor. We ordered a kids quesadilla and some elote corn for our toddler. My husband really liked his tacos! The elote corn was good--it came in a cup, not on a cob--just an FYI for elote enthusiasts. My burrito was good flavor-wise. It had a lot of onion, which I'll skip next time (permanent aversion from pregnancy). It also needed a little more sauce of some kind--guac or sour cream. As far as service and ambiance: service was good, and the environment was clean and average noise level. They have booth style seating which helps us with our toddler. Also lots of TVs with sports on if you're into that. We would for sure come back!

Have lived down the street from here for a few months and finally ended up going. Got myself 2 carne asada tacos and an Al Pastor taco as well. They were fantastic! The salsa bar was really nice as well but I could have just eaten the tacos straight up they were seasoned very well. The service was super quick, before I'd even filled up my salsa cups my order was ready. The place was PACKED which was great to see for local place.

I went there to grab some dinner and I loved it. I had the Tacos and the corn. Tacos are cheap yet tasty. The serving of the tacos is good considering the price. They also had a salsa bar. The vibe of place is very nice. Spacious and not too loud. The service was fast. The lady in the counter was helpful and direct, which I loved. Could be a go-to place if you want a quick fix of your taco cravings.

Found Gordos after a ski day. There's is plenty of parking and the restaurant is in a separate building in a strip mall. The foot was really good! This place has tacos de cabeza! I don't know if another place that serves that. This is a fast casual place so you order at the counter and then get your food. There is plenty of seating. I ordered birria tacos and street corn. The tacos were great though the corn was not my favorite but decent. I would come here again, specially after a long ski day.

So I'm only giving one star because I had to! You people should be ashamed of your selves! This is not Mexican food! It's barely food! If you're charging $ 5 for a taco, it should be a taco! We can go to a taco cart and get a $3 taco that is epic! Salsa mediocre! You can Google salsa recipes! Oh, Birra is weak AF! Step it up! Also liquid guac is ridiculous!

Tik Tok brought me back! I saw a local foodie post about Gordo's and their Birria Quesadilla. So, naturally, I had to return to give it a try. Y'all...I'm sorry I didn't get a picture. I devoured this Birria Quesadilla like it was the first meal of the day. It's cheesy, it's got the juicy birria inside, and the outside is crispy and hot. I enjoyed having the guacamole and sour cream to dip it in, I didn't ask for it but it was great! Service was quick and sufficient. My food was ready in no time. The restaurant was busy this time! It was great to see it so full. Lots of families dining in. Thanks Tik Tok and thank you Gordo's! I'll be back again soon.

Visited with another mom and kids. Music was a tad loud, but the bustling atmosphere was promising. Ordering was easy, though the number calling was a bit challenging due to the music. Glad they accommodated my child's dairy allergy with a plain chicken taco and corn. Kudos for that! Tried Al pastor and birria tacos; wished the cashier suggested consomé for birria. Tacos were decent, not the best I've had, but the beer selection was a nice touch.

Super good food. Love the shrimp tacos. Very flavorful. Service is good super glad we found this little place.

Gordos tacos is delicious and never fails to hit the spot. The Street corn is amazing and in sure anything your order on the menu would not fail to impress.

Gordo's is a new family-owned taco shop in Murray. The menu is pretty simple, with a few taco options, a burrito and quesadilla or two, and tortas. Gordo's offers a serve-yourself salsa bar with about five different varieties of salsa, fresh limes, and other toppings for your food. I really enjoyed the food and will return for more tacos! On top of the food, the service was great. Our order came out fast, the staff was very friendly and checked in on us, even though this is an order-and-seat-yourself restaurant (meaning no table service). The family running Gordo's does it right!

I went to Utah Taco Fest this past weekend and tried their mulita - omg it was amazing! It was a great price and so delicious. I'm still dreaming of it. Their tortillas are fresh (not from a package) and the asada is crispy perfection. A mulita is two tortillas sandwiching a load of crispy meat, onion, cilantro, guacamole, and best of all, crispy cheese. I voted for them as the best! I'm definitely going to their Murray location on my next Taco Tuesday!

Super friendly staff and really great food! The shrimp tacos crispy with cheese are my husband's favorite!

This place is so good. The dipping juice is a must! Tortilla chips are made fresh. Good salsa bar. The girl that took our order was patient with us as we decided what to order. The chicken tacos were my favorite. Restaurant is clean.

Since moving to Utah, I have struggled to find authentic and good quality Mexican food that meets the standards I'm used to. Gordos Tacos has changed that by offering authentic and delicious tacos and flavorful birria. But they also have the modern twist alternatives so you can have it with ramen or in crispy, cheesy tacos. They also offer a good assortment of very yummy drinks like the spiked horchata drink, which is creamy and sweet, as well as citrusy, spicy cantaritos and micheladas. In addition to great quality, the establishment is clean, the service is great, and the food is decently priced. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing!! I come here often and have never had a bad experience. The tacos are phenomenal. My favorites are the birria and the carnitas tacos. They are affordable and the environment is nice!

This place is the very best. If you like Birria, you will love this place. Very friendly and good people too

Love the Al Pastor tacos and fries. The barria tacos are great as well. We have gone a couple times now and it is consistently good.

My honest review as a Hispanic woman. I will start of my review by saying that I think this spot has potential to be great if they tweak minor things. Therefore, I give this restaurant a 2.5 rating and here's why. Their service is great, the restaurant is clean, and they have a good variety of food. My favorite thing that I got here was their strawberry agua fresca. It was the perfect balance of creamy and sweet and had fresh strawberries inside. 10/10 for their drinks, highly recommend! Next, I ordered a crispy birria taco. The flavor was good, and I loved that they had an array of salsas to choose from. Still, this taco is not in my top three Birria taco shops, but I enjoyed it. The last thing that I ordered was a carne Asada quesadilla. The flavors were amazing on this! But my only complaint was it was super greasy. That goes for the birria taco as well. Again, the flavors are delicious, but it's a bit too greasy for my taste. To conclude, I'd love to see how this business progresses in the future!

The ambiance was great! They had banda music going, the place looked clean and the color scheme was nice. The service was great also, I was confused on birria tacos vs quesadillas con birria and the girl clarified patiently. The food was AMAZING. I def recommend and would def go again! We got an order of street corn, which I thought would taste like Canned Corn w cheese, but it was actually really good and satisfying!!! quesadilla con birria, an order of al pastor tacos, and a burrito w birria plus some consome. I've had better consome- I give this one a 6.5 over 10. Nonetheless everything was delicious and I loved it!!

This place is soooo good and well priced. Shoutout to this wonderful tasting restaurant. The service is fast and the food is A+. Their salsa bar is good. Get the crispy birria taco and street corn. Don't get their guacamole. It tastes like puréed baby food or canned guacamole.

Fast service, I enjoyed the Mexican fries. The Birria Tacos were tasty, but the consomme felt lacking. It tasted watered down and didn't have the full body flavor. The salsa bar was excellent.

Gordo's Tacos is tasty! I loved the birria tacos, and the nachos were also excellent. The birria needed salt, but after some extra seasoning, they were delicious. The side of corn was okay; I don't think I would order it again, but I enjoyed trying it. The service was fast in this casual Mexican restaurant. Thank you for a tasty lunch!

Delicious!!! It was so good. Simple, inexpensive and delicious. Can't ask for much more!

This place was recommended by a couple friends and acquaintances to support the owner, whom they personally know. I was sold at tacos and beer! What can I say, it's a timeless duo! I've been here a handful of time and I can't help but rave about the deliciousness. Being a Bay Area local it's hard to find a good burrito. I love their burritos have a balanced Portion of the staple ingredients, arroz, frijoles, meat (I prefer asada) , what what!!?? It come with avocado!!!Today I decided to add sour cream and this was a level up!!!!! Their salsa bar allows me to customize my burrito at every bite!! I'm not so not a fan of Birria tacos, BUT LET ME TELL YOU!!! GO, run and try their crunchy Birria taco!! I now order a burrito de asada and a taco with no shame and of course, I love it with a nice sweaty cold XX Equis and lime!! ... hurry, try it! You're welcome.

This place was really good. Delicious tacos and quesadillas and quick service. We didn't stay to eat but take out was quick easy and really good food

So very good! Authentic, homemade tortillas and the ceviche on Sunday is bomb! Get the horchata, it's authentic and doesn't take like powdered water haha

They have authentic tacos here. So delicious! I'm not super fond of extremely greasy quesadillas though. The lady that took our order at the counter was very friendly and spot on with what we ordered. There was plenty of seating and it was comfortable to move around in. I would come back for their carne asada tacos anytime!

If your a fan of Al pastor tacos, you must try these! Ask for pineapple on top, if that's your jam. Birria tacos were ok, the consume needed a bit more flavor. I'd go out of my way for the Al pastor tacos tho

Gordos Tacos and Beer has amazing food! It's authentic delicious food! Great flavor in everything we ordered! Service is fast and great! Everyone is so kind! Lots of space to sit and super clean! I'm coming back and bringing the whole fam! Would love to learn how Gordos Tacos and Beer came too, RIL and fly high Gordo!

Great fresh Mexican food that is cooked to order. Everything was very tasty. Crispy Birria and cheese tacos with consume is a must!! Burritos, Tortas, and street corn were also delicious. Visit the salsa bar for an assortment of flavors. Oh.... And BEER!!!!!! This is a casual family owned establishment that is in the business of providing very good food. Friendly staff that will take care of you. Can't wait to visit again.

The carne asada is lean and the best I've had here in Utah. Friendly staff and clean dining.

Everything here was so good! The Al pastor tacos surprised me the most (I believe there's a sign that says to ask if you want pineapple on the Al pastor so you'll need to request that here). The crispy birria taco was also very good, it didn't feel as heavy or greasy as I've had at other spots. The Asada tacos were also solid, the meat quality was quite good. I also enjoyed the horchata. Can't wait to come back!

Do you have regrets? I have regrets. Today, the Regret of the Day is not discovering Gordo's Tacos and Beer sooner. The key to Heather's happiness is birria tacos. I swallow that key whole sometimes. I heard a few good things about Gordo's but with living in Utah County, I procrastinated on actually making it out to the restaurant. One day, I was relatively in the area and had time to go. I had to wait in line for 5 ish minutes while another group in front of me ordered, but I was more than okay with this because it gave me time to decide what I wanted. I kinda wish they had combos, but unbeknownst to me, they do have daily specials, which are combos. I was eyeballing the tacos, especially the birria tacos, the most. Speaking of items coming with items, I would've liked it if the birria tacos automatically came with a side of consume. The birria taco was by far my favorite taco that I chose. Of course, it tasted even more amazing when dipped in the consume so I made sure to get some of that. My second favorite taco was the al pastor taco. I have had my fair share of al pastor tacos and think this one is extra incredible. I also tried the chicken taco--it was good but I wasn't a fan of the way they seasoned the meat. I loved that all the tacos came with cilantro and onions. Additionally, I loved that there was room in the taco for the cilantro and onions--oftentimes, in a street taco, there is not a lot of room for any toppings. Speaking of the toppings, they also had a whole topping bar that you could use for sauces and extra seasonings. Another thing I loved was their elote. Now, here's what's funny about that. I've had elote on one other occasion and I absolutely hated it. It was at a restaurant in Provo and I thought I didn't like elote since having their elote. After trying Gordo's elote, I love elote. They do it right and it tasted amazing! Inside, there is plenty of seating but I could see it getting a bit crowded, depending on when you go. They did a great job with the layout of the restaurant and it is not overwhelmingly loud. I am craving Gordo's as I finish this review so you can bet I'll be back sometime very soon with some friends.
