The Taqueria Santa Ana Keeps Coming Back To
On North Grand Avenue in Santa Ana, Roberto built something small on purpose — a counter-serve spot where the food does all the talking. Word spread anyway.
Taqueria El Gordito | Our Story
A Counter on North Grand Ave
Taqueria El Gordito started as a single counter-serve spot on North Grand Ave in Santa Ana — nothing flashy, just great Mexican food made with care. Regulars drove across Orange County and never stopped coming back.
Roberto's Food Philosophy
Owner Roberto sources locally and oversees every plate — because he genuinely won't have it any other way. You taste the difference in the salsas, the frijoles, and the adobada people rave about by name.
Al Pastor, Lengua, and Super Fries
The al pastor and tacos de lengua have devoted fans, and the super fries with carne asada are the kind of thing you think about the next day. The green salsa alone is worth the drive.
Always Open, Always Here
El Gordito opens at 4 AM and closes at 3 AM — for construction crews who need a real breakfast before dawn and night owls who deserve better than fast food after last call.
Thank You, Santa Ana
