Mexican Restaurants in Vermont

When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into the Green Mountain State, he discovered that Vermont’s culinary scene extends far beyond maple syrup and cheddar cheese. In 2020, the Mayor of Flavortown made his way to Burlington, where he uncovered a hidden gem serving up authentic Mexican cuisine that had locals lining up around the block.

Taco Gordo, Burlington’s beloved Mexican hotspot, earned an impressive 4.5-star rating and caught Guy’s attention with its bold flavors and generous portions. This isn’t your typical Tex-Mex fare—Vermont’s lone Triple D Mexican representative brings serious authenticity to New England, proving that great tacos know no geographical boundaries.

While Vermont may only have one Mexican restaurant featured on the show, Taco Gordo makes it count. From perfectly seasoned meats to house-made salsas, this Burlington establishment demonstrates that sometimes quality trumps quantity. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives destination delivers the kind of flavor-packed experience that earned Guy’s signature stamp of approval.
