Best Inexpensive Late Night Eats in Vegas! The Iconic Tacos El Gordo

Vegas is a great place to visit with all the extraordinary attractions and wonderful places to eat, but what makes it great are the people you get to meet. I got a chance to meet up with Dan in person from ‪@DanVsWorld‬. We got to spend the day visiting amazing eateries and got to share the experience on his channel: / danvsworld
But all that filming and eating does get one a bit tired and to cover our energy, we had the opportunity to feast on some amazing Tacos, Sopes, and something called a Vampiro! We managed to make it to this iconic taqueria called Tacos El Gordo and I've been waiting for over two years to visit this place...and it certainly did not disappoint!
Incredible value and I would call this a magnificent late night cheap eats, but only cheap in price, certainly not in taste and quality. From the Carne Asada, Cabeza, Lengua, and all the other charred tender flavourful meats, this is a must try. If you're feeling the late night cravings, or just hungry during the day, definitely make a trip to Tacos El Gordo!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Hi Martha, it was quite fun to meet up with Dan...a full day of eating (we were at the border grill brunch earlier) and a great way to cap off the night ... Very filling though😋

[@iliketurtles2872]

Loved seeing Dan and Tim destroy all those tacos! The cabeza looked great

Great video. I enjoy both your vlogs. This looks like a must visit if one goes to Vegas. As always Tim I appreciate you giving credit to the staff, always respectful and thankful. Without the staff there is no establishment.👍

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Really fun atmosphere there and really a very enjoyable meal with Dan! So glad he was so knowledgeable on what to try 🙂

[@laytonminnix3200]

Tim you always show us so much variety of the food choices wherever you go and that's what I really like about your videos! You and Dan team up well together presenting the food and I have to say this video is a must watch for Vegas Eats, especially for late night!! I wish you had a chance to try Ricks Rolling Smoke BBQ or Road Kill BBQ before you left but maybe next time? BTW Ricks Rolling Smoke BBQ has an all you can eat option and it's well worth it.

[@mrmr5402]

Everything looks great!

Just returned from Vegas and our first stop from the airport upon arrival was Tacos El Gordo near the airport. It did not disappoint! And it was our most enjoyable eating experience. Vampiro Adobada, Carne asada tacos. Even the bottled sparkling water. And that sink to the left of the order area was very handy after the messy meal! Thanks for your video!

[@tomm2812]

Tim, and Dan (who I Follow), you take us to Great Places. Tonight I am forced to eat my own cooking (My 3rd this last couple of weeks) oven baked corned beef Brisket fat side up c the last 3-4 minutes broiled to caramelize the fat. Ahhh, Fairly Great. That with some baked/broiled carrots and/or parsnips is phenomenal. Myself, I am only a not so humble cook though less than a chef... added alongside a half a tumbler of Good Scotch to enhance the meal eating. Best

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Woah Tom! Can't beat a meal like that! Fatty tender caramelized brisket with a nice Scotch on the side 😋. Kind of inspired to look for a nice barbecue now 🙂

Oh, Wow...All that Valentine's Day decorations in the Tarcos El Gordo proved that you went around Valentine's Day!!!! It would had been nice for Leah and some other young ladies to join you guys especially since it was around Valentine's Day with all the decorations still hanging up in the ceiling!!!! Oh, and you were probably too young to be running around in Las Vegas in a different time when steaks were very cheap after midnight!!!! You eat so much good seafood and prime rib in all those buffet feasts so tacos are a change especially for a late night snack!!!!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Hey Min, yeah, this was early February and I really made and that most of the time there... Got a chance to visit as many places as I can on the very short time away from work. This was quite a nice find, I think food always tastes better late at night 😋
