The name of a restaurant chain that originated in Tijuana has me a little confused. Tacos el gordo. Would that be translated into inglish as The fat tacos? If so, why would they not call it, los tacos gordos? Is tacos el gordo proper spanish? Why is the definite article before gordo and why is gordo not plural? Thanks in advance.

mmm, I think it is more like Tacos, by El gordo... the owner would be 'el gordo' and he sells tacos...it is similar to Carneceria Erik, where it is a butcher shop whose owner is Erik

"Tacos el gordo" means Tacos, the fat one. So Tacos could be the name of the restaurant's owner or mascot.
