Gordo EX Cafe

It was the worst Venezuelan food restaurant I have ever been to, the person who served us didn't know anything about the menu (patacón de platano plantain), the wait was 1 hour and 40 minutes, I don't recommend it at all

Undisclosed Mandatory Tip Warning

Food was food, but I would have appreciated being notified that a mandatory gratuity is imposed regardless of the size of the party (we were just 2).

Food was delicious. We had empanadas, cachapas and beef criollo. It tasted like I was in Venezuela, I will definitely be coming back.

Obsessed! We've done both, order in and take out and it's always perfect. There's no food like Venezuelan food!

The food is very delicious, but the attention is very bad. If you are Venezuelan and you are waiting to talk to your countrymen, forget it, this is not the place. Travel from Vancouver my daughter and I hoped to share with other Venezuelans.

The food was very good!
However the waitress was not friendly at all.
A bit rude at the beginning I must said, like she was on a rush for us to order, which I don’t know why because we were the only table at the restaurant, and she was on her cellphone anyways.
I hope she was just having a bad day, because if that’s the way she is, she should not be in this industry.
Let’s just say her attitude was not very welcoming.
And then on top of that, she added her own tip in the bill when she passed me the machine to pay with my credit card.
I guess she knows already that people doesn’t tip her well, and perhaps that’s why she does it.
That was very rude! She should know that tips are not obligatory! I mean at least if you are going to do that, have a smile on your face and a better attitude.
Next time I’ll just order there through Uber eats, but for sure I will not come back there for dining in.

That is shame a really nice restaurant to be attended for unprofessional people and the owners are to greedy with consumers that is shame of those owners who are disrespectful with there workers that try to dj there job I went to eat something with my family and and the beginning the owner star not attending us properly and at the end the bill came with 18% of tip obrigatory that was not pleasant thing to have after lunch

I got the avocado, beef, cheese and tomato area. It was a hefty size and filling! It was expensive but the ingredients are fresh and tasty. It's sometimes hard to justify spending $20 on one flavour but this arepa was delicious! The beef was tender and the cheese as well as the arepa bread part textures were so complementary. I also got the cane sugar drink and that was very refreshing.

My favorite arepas in Toronto.but everything else is also delicious! Great food and great prices!

Luis, our server was great! Their seafood platter was so good but what I really liked that night was their cachapa and soup! Going back!

Great food, good staff. The place is a bit small, so better be there early. Although
Terrible manager. Idk if they change the original one, but the actual manager is gonna wreck this friendly business because he is rude and disrespectful with staff and customers

Really disappointed. My wife our baby and myself went to have breakfast and one of the waitress told us that empanadas are not consider to be consumed in the restaurant so if someone comes in and ordered and plate we will must leave the table for them.i mean we ordered 8 empanadas plus drinks with the intention to order more stuffs and we paid 50 bucks that isn't cheap at all. Anyways all this was just for someone that they knew and don't have a table available for them. Needs more costumer service training for the staff there. I usually like this place but every-time me or my friends went there have something negative to said. I hope this will help to create proper manners and best way to deal with costumers.

Food is great but make sure to double check it, if it is pick up because sometimes they burn your cachapas or empanadas, they will make you new ones if you mention. It is a bit pricey but it is worth it.

Tried La Wilcha arepa (roasted pork leg) and the Cazon (fish) empanada. Really enjoyed the empanada, I liked the arepa but found the one I got to be a little heavy. Will definitely be back to try more items!
