Tacos El Gordo delivers authentic Tijuana flavors with a dizzying array of meats and late-night hours, making it a must-visit taco haven on the Strip.
"Tacos El Gordo continues to serve genuine Tijuana tacos at three different locations, along with dishing out made-fresh salsas and guacamole. Tacos El Gordo offers 10 different meat choices for tacos, but customers can also order sopes, tostadas, mulas, and fries as well. Try the sought-after adobada taco, spiced pork served on a corn tortilla with a choice of fresh toppings." - Janna Karel
"Open Until: 4am Fri-Sat, 12am Sun-Thurs After a night of overpriced cocktails and bumping into one of the Chainsmokers, it’s time for some food from Tacos Al Pastor. You’ll be mesmerized by the giant rotating spit of al pastor when you first walk in, but their other meats are equally delicious, especially the flavor-packed buche and lengua. This is also a great spot that’s usually much less touristy than the perpetually-packed Tacos El Gordo around the corner, where you might have spotted the other Chainsmoker on your way out looking for shorter lines." - milena difiore, gabe bergado
"This Tijuana taco shop serves quesadillas, tostadas, and, of course, tacos. Queue up in the line for the protein of choice and then order and watch as the meat is cooked and sliced in an open kitchen. The carne asada fries are also a treat. On Las Vegas Boulevard, the lines for tacos stay open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 4 a.m. Friday and Saturday." - Janna Karel

You’ll be mesmerized by the giant rotating spit of al pastor when you first walk in, but their other meats are equally delicious, especially the flavor-packed buche and lengua. This is also a great spot for a low-key lunch that’s usually much less touristy than the perpetually-packed Tacos El Gordo around the corner—where you might have spotted the other Chainsmoker on your way out looking for shorter lines." - Gabe Bergado
"Tacos El Pastor is preparing to open in the former space of Tacos El Gordo at 3049 Las Vegas Boulevard S. It will offer a Mexican-themed entertainment 'supper club' with a 60-foot stage for DJs and live bands, operating from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. on weekends. The restaurant will serve a variety of tacos and other Mexican dishes, with a promise of 'the best tacos on the Strip.'" - Bradley Martin
