text: WellnI have to admit I decided to come here because I was already tired and frazzled and Tacos El Gordo has not had a drivethru window since soon after they opened Gee you would think the last thing a fast food place would want is to cut off their fat lazy customer base just who is the El Gordo they purport to be catering to anywaynnSo I saw the neon drivethru sign beckoning to me from the darkness of the west end of the parking lot and honed in like a cruise missile Unfortunately it was so dark that I did not see the curb and in my haste managed to slam my car up onto the island No biggie I am sure the undercarriage benefited from a little barnacle scraping but when I finally managed to maneuver into position at the ordering station I was hit with a blast of Spanishaccented static nnYes the system crashed the same time I did No connection I figured it might be for the better since their English is almost as limited as my Spanish and I could at least point and gesture in person Nonetheless I was growing increasingly unhappynnGot some carnitas tacos a quesadilla on a corn tortilla MYEEEZ and a burrito for the Anaconda This required intense negotiation and the services of three volunteer interpreters but I got my bag and headed homennUntil now I always thought that the basic ingredient of carnitas was pork Apparently it is salt How bad was it I did not eat it if that tells you anything And if you knew me that would tell you everythingnnIn their favor they were friendly and tried hard and I cannot hold it against a Mexican establishment in a Mexican neighborhood that caters mostly to a Mexican clientele for speaking mostly MexicannnTheir tacos were as opposed to TEGs at but they had more than twice as much meat Too bad it was not edible And if you agree to with everything that means cheese and sour cream and guacamole in other words the parts that make life worth living it will increase the cost by a buck and a half each Whaaaat Since when is cheese an extra on a taco And the burrito was ok but smaller than you usually get for the pricennIt was a bad experience but maybe I will try them again when we are both having a better day
