Plot Outline

2007 Audience Award for Best Short Film at Cinequest film festival and 2007 Best International Short at Beverly Hills Hi-Def film festival. "Gordo" is a delightful culinary tale of an immigrant's journey from Mexico to the US and how Gordo's delicious creations have unintended effects. Gordo is a hard-working, gifted taco maker from Mexico who travels to America to make a better life for his family. Gordo arrives in Watsonville, CA where his only option to work is at Cinco de Taco, a national fast 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. Gordo's culinary gift gets him recognition, but does he want this recognition?

Its easy to see why it won the awards it did. Lead actor, Primo, does a great job. Its strange that its free to download but good for us.

Really Solid Enjoyable Short (A Rare Find)

This was a joy to watch. The acting was natural and the characters were well defined through their portrayal and clean, distinct writing. The pace and editing were spot on, keeping my interest in this piece and not letting any specific scene begin to become stale. There was enough comedy mixed in to keep it light, without sending it over the edge and maintaining the dramatic integrity. I'd love to see more from this crew in the future!
