Gordo’s

You'll find Gordo's tucked away on North Street, where it's become the sort of neighbourhood spot that locals actually queue for on Friday nights. The menu reads like someone genuinely cares about Mexican food rather than just serving nachos and margaritas—expect vibrant ceviches, slow-cooked carnitas, and thoughtful vegetarian dishes that don't feel like an afterthought. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between lively and intimate; it's loud enough to feel like something's happening, but you can still hear your mates across the table.
