  “Great Mexican food! The empanadas and the beef brisket tacos were 😍 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 cocktails and a bottle of red for £90! Definitely coming back 🇲🇽”

  “I usually avoid this restaurant as I hardly ever carry enough cash for the bill. They only take cash. I went in today at 11 and was told to come back in 15-20 minutes. I ordered the beef chimichanga. For £15, it was a bit small for the 2 pieces on the plate. The taste was good, fresh and had some garnish on it. Being a tex-mex foodie, I never had garnish on them but, ok. Chimichanga typically come drowned in cheese and a side of salsa. At least it is like that in San Diego, Dallas and other southern US areas. The non-Mexican music, mostly Venezuelan and Colombian music was loud and I politely asked if they could lower it. I like to sit in areas where I can watch all the action but was requested to move to the smaller table behind the kitchen area and I could not see anything except their equipment. They had a variety of habanero sauces, which was nice. The paintings and other decor where nice. A Mexican restaurant and food is very different to what was in the menu, which were Tex-Mex cuisine. I don't yet know if I will return. The surly chef was a put off. The lovely Latina lady was superb.”

  “Had a wonderful dinner with friends here! The restaurant is decorated with lots of vibrant colour. I loved that we could see all our food being made in the kitchen right next to us. Restaurant was also air conditioned! Food and drink were all delicious. Lots of selection and choices for different dietary requirements. Staff were super friendly and went the extra mile with the little details. I felt like I was in a friend's kitchen being cooked for! Highly recommend and will be back again for sure!”

  “Best tacos in Europe. I've lived in Mexico City for 6 months and these are the same flavours but adapted to this country palate and pocket. Well done!”

  “Sadly not as good as previous visits. Sat cramped into a corner with two other tables despite the restaurant being quiet. Not enough room on the table to fit the food and drinks. Table sauces (which we normally love) were empty, only two of the four had anything in them. £15 for some nachos with beans wasn’t great value. Food didn’t seem as fresh as it normally was, lots of liquid coming off the tacos when eating them. Also very stingy on the condiments. I had to get up to ask for more as nobody was paying any attention. I asked the older chef and he said ‘give me one second’ and then never came back with anything. A table of four had a dog inside which kept barking. A real shame as this place is normally excellent. Maybe an off day for them.”

  “Gordo's is one of the best places to eat in Guildford, no doubt about it if you like Mexican food. I tend to always order the tacos Al Pastor and the courgettes as a side. Consistently well cooked and seasoned, great additions of salsa and garnish. Today I tried the grilled lamb chops from the starter section, which come with a fresh and light pineapple salsa. Cooked medium (which is my personal preference) they were a standout dish for me today. Thank you for yet another delicious meal and lovely service.”

  “Came here after an unexpected trip to Guildford and this place was the perfect treat to end a long day. Staff were friendly and attentive, menu was great with lots of options at good prices. Food was delicious, you could tell it was fresh and made with care. The portions were perfectly sized, just enough to fill you up without becoming a challenge. The Cochinita Pibil was super tender and juicy, heavenly with the guacamole and sour cream. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again if I'm ever in the area”
