Tio Gordo's Texican Cafe

First time there...great food, atmosphere and service. We celebrated a birthday for a dear friend something small and cozy. When the owner, Ulysses (excuse the misspelling),was made aware he came over to our table to wish the birthday girl (in her 60s)a special birthday wish and gave her a nice dessert with candle! He offered great conversation and you could see his humbleness and the genuine person he is. The tasteful and delicious food reflects his natural talent and experience with cooking. He and his staff made us feel right at home and welcomed on our very first visit! You will not be disappointed!

Tio Gordo’s Texican Cafe is my family’s favorite we get the usual Street Taco plate witch is amazing!!! The new expansion was much needed now it’s not so crowded. They have Great staff they are very friendly and the Chips and Queso with ground beef is amazing, though I’m not sure it’s on the menu you have to ask for it.

Ordered take out for the first time from them and I had heard mixed reviews. Exactly why you should always find out for yourself how a place is. Everything was amazing! From the order taken over the phone, the delicious meal, omg the tortillas and queso! Nachos, fajitas and asado was on point! We just moved to the neighborhood recently and now I’m even more happy we did because this establishment! It’s nice to get good service, and a bonus because the food is so good! And the sweet desert y’all put in there. Took kindness and care. Very rare quality around here so I definitely believe it’s good to give credit where it’s due. Can’t wait to dine in! Thanks again!❤️🙌🏻

Tio Gordo's is our local neighborhood cantina. We love it! Great food, great service. The folks that own and run it are basically extended family as far as we are concerned. Try any combination of the nachos!! I love the flautas too! #Lawndale #SupportLocalBusinesses

Nice lil cafe. We started off with chips & kay-so that had a canned cheese vibe to it. Unlike other queso elsewhere. I don’t recommend their hard shell tacos, unless you like Taco Bell shells. My favorite item was their chile relleno. Flavorful filling and breading. My cousin did enjoy his red enchiladas. Staff is very attentive though.
