What People Are Saying About Gorditos Healthy Mexican Food
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – The front counter order-taker is likely to be the most cheerful person encountered in a day; and the food, considering price and quality, is about as good as it gets. That accounts for Gordito's youthful clientele and the wide spectrum of professional and blue-collar lunchtime burrito gobblers. – – The Food – The lines that frequently spill onto the sidewalk indicate that there's something inside that makes it a little different from Seattle's typical Mexican joint. That something is huge portions of hot food at bargain prices. The restaurant also…

FISH BURRITO WAS OUTSTANDING!
by SearchingforGreatSandwich at Citysearch
This place has a great menu with well prepared food. There's nothing fancy here, just a solid meal. I got a Fish Burrito & my wife got a Prawn Taco. Both were excellent. Our only complaint was that we ordered them to go and when we finally had a chance to sit down and enjoy the hot wraps had fallen apart inside the foil wrappers. If you're getting yours too go, then pick up a fork and lots a napkins.
We will definitely go again!
- Pros: Excellent food at great price
- Cons: hot burritos fall apart when ordered to go!

Good and Cheap
by chubbybunnyone at Citysearch
Prices are cheap for the amount of food you get. One burrito can easily be split into two or three meals, and a super burrito can easily be split into three or four! It's not the best burrito I've ever had, but it is pretty tasty for the price.
- Pros: HUGE portions

No flavor, not even in the hot sauces.
by dtailspls at Citysearch
Yes, my boss and I took a trip today to Gordito's. We usually eat at Pho Tic Tac across the street and see tons of people going in and out of Gordito's all the time. So we agreed that some day we'll try it out and today was "THE DAY."
I ordered the steak burrito (wet) with mild sauce and made it a "plate" order(which means it comes with rice and beans) and my boss ordered steak enchiladas plate. We have been to many Mexican restaurants like Jalisco's which is really good, Mr. Villas which has homemade tortillas and really great mole sauce(my boss' preferred sauce), and I like Chipotle because of the freshness of their meats and vegetables especially the lettuce. Any ways, we were excited to eat and the place was just full of patrons, so we had really high expectations. However, we were entirely disappointed with the quality of flavor, wait a minute, what quality???
There was no flavor on the steak pieces, the salsa was very bland, but they did give us quantity. The burrito was huge, but it didn't make up for the lack of flavor.
So we sat there and finished our foods, only because I had paid $25 bucks for 2 plates and drinks to wash it down. Very disappointing. Will never go back!!!!!
- Pros: quantity
- Cons: Lack of flavor
