All in Spanish with English Subtitles


Gordo

Jorge 'Gordo' Fuentes, late 20s, is a hard-working, gifted taco maker from Mexico. Recently married and with a baby on the way, Gordo leaves his wildly popular taco stand and travels to America where he hopes to establish a successful Mexican restaurant in order to earn enough money to bring his family up north as well.

Gordo arrives in Watsonville, CA where he lands a job at the local franchise of Cinco de Taco, a national food chain. Appalled at how the chain makes tacos, Gordo sneaks his own ingredients into the fast food restaurant and prepares tacos the way he did in Mexico...
