Gordo's Way: Reviews & Ratings
Having a blah day Missing my parents in LA Only 1 thing can make it better I headed to Gordo's Way Good service with a smile Birria taste like my hometown If you're ever feeling down Head to Gordo's way! Just a lil poem in their parking lot to keep me entertained while I smash these 2 tacos! Thanks for your amazing authentic food and service. I've been coming here since I moved to Guntersville nearly 3 years ago and it's been yummy hot consistent good food and service!
A great little authentic street Mexican restaurant. With authentic street tacos. The prices are unbelievably low. You can get a taco, Burrito and many more Mexican style street food. They have many things to choice from to drink from sweet tea to beer. They even have different flavored fruit drinks. If you love street type food then you need to come try Gordo's Way. The staff were friendly.
Holy moly!!! I attended a conference in Guntersville this last weekend. Events concluded somewhat early on Saturday and I wanted to make the most of my drive out that way, so I decided to drive a little farther to give Gordo's Way a try. TL;DR -- I'm gonna be making more special trips to Albertville. This restaurant is located on Main Street in Albertville. It's on the corner/end of the street. Street parking is limited but there's a large lot across the street that I took advantage of. They appear to only be open Friday - Sunday so plan accordingly! A few picnic tables are arranged in front of the entrance. The restaurant is small with room for maybe 25 seats on the inside. You order at the counter. The menu is diverse with a lot of authentic Mexican and Central American dishes. Big focus on birria -- not just tacos, but pizza and ramen too. Service was exceptional! The young woman who greeted me at the counter was so friendly and nice. She immediately caught on it was my first visit and she graciously offered to explain the menu to me. She was exceedingly thorough - more than I truly needed but I didn't mind because she was so sweet - and she knew her stuff! If you're new to this cuisine at all, Gordo's Way would be a great place to explore because the staff will take care of you. They have several containers of aguas frescas, to include cucumber pineapple, horchata, orange pineapple, etc. I knew I wanted one but couldn't pick -- they kindly offered me a sample. The cucumber pineapple was perfect -- delightfully refreshing, not too sweet but not too cucumbery either, and so that was my choice. I ordered two birria tacos with a side of rice and beans to accompany my beverage. This was actually my first time trying birria. I've waited to try it because I wanted to try it somewhere I was confident would do it well -- reviews led me here. I wasn't disappointed. It was delicious: the beef was chewy, savory, succulent, so moist; the onions were crunchy but unobtrusive; the tortilla was thin and crispy; and the consomme for dipping was perfectly umami and surprisingly not insanely messy. The only thing that didn't completely knock my socks off was the rice. It wasn't bad, just kind of standard. The beans were, I think, charro beans -- definitely pintos, not refried. They were smoky and tender. Go out of your way to Gordo's Way -- you will not regret it.
So good very happy with the tacos and cali burrito. Husband has been looking for a place that sells horchata and they do!!! And it was soooo good!!! Paloma’s was so good as well and strong definitely coming back and recommending to friends and family
I'm usually not one to leave a review, but this place was so great. The staff was so nice and helpful, and the birria tacos were amazing. My daughter ordered nachos and the chips were so good. I can't wait to go back.
This place is in a nice location and very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We ordered street tacos, beef birria tacos, burrito, and their house birria ramen. They all tasted fantastic. I highly recommend for a casual fun place to dine. They’re open only Fri-Sun so just be aware of that fact.
I always love coming here. I usually get the birria tacos with a cucumber agua fresca. Today i got the cali burrito and it was very good. The staff are always friendly
This place is so excellent. Staff was fast and very friendly. I had the “Birria Ramen-Sopita de Birria” (the combo)and it was *chefs kiss* I am definitely coming back and dragging my husband along because he needs to try out this delicious food.
