This is my neighborhood spot -- literally a few doors down from me. I've been coming here since the very beginning and have always sent customers their way. I truly want to support them and will continue to. BUT... The last four times I've tried to order menudo on the weekend, they've run out. Every single time. I understand that running out can mean it's popular (which is great), and I genuinely respect their dedication to authentic Mexican cuisine. But when they open at 9am and it's already gone by 10am, that's frustrating. I've had to go to competitors four different times because of this. And although I personally prefer Gordillas' menudo, I can't keep calling here hoping to get lucky just to be told it's sold out again. I really want to keep recommending them. When two relatives recently asked me if their menudo is good, I honestly had to say, "I don't remember." That's not the answer I want to give. This isn't my favorite review to write because I do care about this place -- but I also have to be honest. read more

I think the name says it all. Gordillas sells gorditas. A gordita is similar to a tortilla in texture, taste, and shape. They differ in that a Gordita is stuffed with deliciousness, vs riding on top of the tortilla. Gordillas is a little different too. This place is set up like a Subway for simple comparisons. The counter is long, has all the ingredients in front of you, and you can customize your Gordita as you'd like. From there, the staff will cook your order up for you. Gordillas offers a Chips bar as you wait where you can sample a large variety of salsas. The heat goes from mild as a marshmallow, to as hot as hell in a heat wave. read more

Stopped by since I was in the area and the place is easy to see and they have plenty of parking. Once inside at the time I visited there was not a lot of people so it was quick to get my order in. The restaurant overall was clean and plenty of seating available. As for the food, it was good and fast to get. For the service it was ok from the lady at the register, the lady behind the kitchen was actually nice, she brought the food out and was kind enough to let me know what salsa was good for my food. That's why the four stars. There is complimentary chips and salsa in front and all you can drink option as well. You can make large orders as well so that's a plus. read more

Love the menudo on the weekends!! I wish they would offer it during the week as well, great customer service too. Great place to dine in.

Terrible services. We asked if foods are greasy. They said no. One plate of Gordillas was super greasy so we asked if they can fix that. They want us to pay for new plate. What?!?! What I didn't like was Maria said she would come back to discuss more. She never did. After 10 minutes, we had to go up to them. Discuss with Zulema. Again saying they can't fix or refund what my godmother couldn't eat (grease after surgery). None of them speak English so it was very hard to communicate. Will not return. read more

The food looks great until you take a bite and it's flavorless! The gordas are okay but rice and beans are bland.

Tried this place one afternoon and had a Rajas quesadilla which was real good......spicy but good. Nice size giant tortilla for $5.99. I Also had a breakfast burrito on a separate day about two weeks later. Now that was my favorite of the two. I love breakfast burritos. You can get 2 long thin ones for a special until 11am but after they go to regular price. You can also get a regular size burrito. There's all types of additions cheese, beans, cebolla, cilantro etc. This was during the Covid pandemic so it was an empty restaurant but nice decor. Lots of natural wood. Looks cozy. This is my new lunch place when I work in LV. Thanks for the good food Gordillas. read more

I came here with my grandma because we heard the owners are from Durango. Y'all, they have Chile pasado here! The gorditas are delicious, and the service is phenomenal. I love how they package items like a fast food meal, but it all tastes homemade. The salsas are sooo good. My grandma cried with how spicy one of them was. Definitely will come here on a date in the near future. read more

Yelp doesn't allow half ratings, but if it did I'd give this place 4.5 stars 4.5/5 Food 5/5 Service 3.5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Value 4.5/5 Cleanliness (bathrooms just okay, dining area very clean) This place is awesome! The food is delicious, fresh, fast, and inexpensive. They have a menu board akin to something you'd see at a fast-food restaurant or a Subway, and the food is prepared relatively quickly, similar to a fast-food place, but the quality of the food is so much better and tastes homemade. They also have a small bar with toppings (chopped onion and cilantro, salsa, etc.). Perfect for when you're busy, but want something healthy that's going to help fuel your body. From what I've seen there are a few locations, I have only visited this one and it's very clean and the workers are very friendly and bring your food out to you when it's ready. read more

Lots of filling options and their salsas are delicious. Call ahead for take out orders, they do get busy.

Great fairly priced lunch spot! Had the rajas burrito and a chicken gordita. Loved the burrito. My bar for legitimacy is based on if they have a respectable salsa bar & they do! Si recomendó este restaurante! Ordene un burrito de rajas y gordita de pollo por 5 y cambio. Ofrecen todo que se encuentra en una taqueria tradicional pero en un espacio moderno. Provecho! read more

While attempting to find a torta I ran into this place and I popped by and they didn't have any but I was starving so I ordered just a kids meal because it was the cheapest thing in the menu and I had to go really quick I give it a 10/10 because they don't tell you but they give you a free paleta de payaso and it was a big surprise maybe pop buy once in a while will eat here again read more

Gordillas - My reaction to this information - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The best gorditas and great customer service I will give you 1millinon Stars :)

This is fast food type of place for gorditas, quesadillas and burritos -that's all. They do have daily specials which I would think is worth it on those days otherwise a bit pricey IMO. So we went and not only did they forget to serve us some of our food, but then as I learned about the advertised specials while sitting there realized I was overcharged. I was charged reg price for what should have been discounted that day. When I brought it up to cashier she said do you have a receipt- one they make optional when you pay so Bc I didn't she said I can't help. Place is clean but for me personally the taste of the dough used for the gordotas/quesadillas was lacking flavor- maybe mine was undercooked but it just wasn't great with so many other options in the area. read more

The food was phenomenal!!! The dining area is roomy and decorated very well! I loved the self serve salsa bar. I've lived in the area 3 years and this was my first time being here, and I'm kinda mad at myself for not stopping in earlier. This is definitely a place I will return to often. read more

This place is awesome! I recently tried their steak burrito and it was the perfect size; they're not your traditional burritos, they're Durango style (more similar to a big taquito). It was filling, but I didn't feel full to the brim like I do if I eat a regular burrito. They also offer free chips and an array of salsas/sides if you eat there. Their homemade chips and tortillas are amazing! As far as the ordering process goes, it was quick to order and took about 5-10mins to receive my order. Overall, definitely recommend and will be going back. read more

Went here on a Saturday night & the place was empty but I take that was because it wasn't that far from closing time (about an hr before closing) due to it being my first time here I wasn't exactly sure what to get so the cashier suggested the sampler which had like 4 different meats, flavors and tortillas. We also were able to get a drink and you can select your sauces on your own. The wait for the meal wasn't long and we weren't in a rush. Upon getting the food, I'll say it was very good I was glad to have selections as I tried some that were spicy, others had a combination of meat and potatoes. All in all I enjoyed my meal and we definitely recommend it for anyone in the area looking for reasonable mexican food that's not the typical that might be used to while dining at a Mexican restaurant. read more

One of my favorite places in Little Village! Gordilla's is not your typical Mexican restaurant. They only have three things on the menu - gorditas, Durango style burritos and quesadillas. Its also very modern inside with stylish booths, seating and decor. The menu is also posted on the wall behind the counter with all the different fillings you can choose, which I think are about 12-15! They also make the tortillas fresh right as you order. On to the food! I'm surprised to read other reviews that say the food isn't flavorful. I must be getting something different because the asado and barbacoa are delicious and very flavorful. Also, there is an AMAZING salsa bar. Grilled onions and peppers and about 10 different salsas to choose from. They are all so good. Some are super spicy, so be careful! I always overdo it and leave with my mouth on fire and am almost sweating. I can't help it, they're so good! It is a little expensive for the amount of food you get, but I feel like its quality over quantity at Gordilla's. I will definitely be back! read more

A friend of mine saves the Chicago Trib food sections for me ( she knows I'm obsessed with food) . Typically, I'd trust a Yelp review before something reviewed in The Trib! But an article about "Best 10 Burrito Joints" appeared( in mid-winter, so I read it cuz I was bored as all get out. Gordillas was highly recommended , so I took a field trip. On first glance, you might think it was a franchise burrito palace. . Slick backlit signage (that might remind you of Mickey D's) with pictures of gorditas and burritos instead of 1/4 pounders and flsh filet sandwiches adorn the walls. But it's not. This is a Chicago stand alone. Order anything on the menu and get a free trip to the chip & dip bar. Freshly fried chips, numerous sauces, guac, chopped veggies and cheese. Nice. But beware Northsiders, these are authentic burritos and stuffed gorditas like in Northern Mexico. The burritos will appear anorexic or bulimic when compared to the Tex-Mex fuselages you're used to. The homemade tortillas are rolled with your choice of any number of fillings , and slowly grilled on the flatop until slightly crispy and warm. No lettuce, tomato, sour cream or avocado. Same with the gorditas. I tried a gordita with "deshebrada" ( cubed pieces of beef and potato in a green sauce ) and a burrito with "barbacoa" (steamed beef with refried beans) . Both were authentic, delicious, and worth the 30 minute drive . While it has a vibe of a fast food joint, you will wanna slap yo' mama its so delicious . read more

Oh man this place was amazing !!! I've been to a few places with gorditas but so far this place tops it. They have plenty to choose from and it's a really good portion as well. You guys have to try this place. Fat person approved read more

It took about 3 minutes for anyone to take my order. The girls where all kind of rude. I was the only one there, I would've expected better service. Say something to me even if you're busy with something. I had 3 gorditas and a sprite came out to $11.17. And what's up with the salsa containers only being filled up half way. They get 2 stars because I didn't get full (give me $11 and I'll get full at any other taco joints) and for bad customer service. read more

Today I Revisited this location for lunch. I must say big difference the temperature of the food my first time was very cold and not very enjoyable this time my food was extremely hot and very great. I had the gordita with potatoes and cheese and the steak burrito. Legally that was very fresh and warm compared to the first time I had it where it was really cold. Great Taste and flavor throughout the whole thing. The steak burrito was packed with all sorts of flavors the steak was very tender and juicy and very seasoned. I truly enjoyed my lunch today and will definitely revisit. Beet chips and salsa bar are hit at this location if you have not tried it the staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

I was excited to try this place but oh boy was I disappointed.... The burritos are nothing special just what ever kind of stew or meat of your Choice on a flour tortilla and the gordita the same just in a round shape, the meat and the stew didn't have much flavor.. But I still don't understand the. Concept or what makes them different?? I guess I am confused.. I also checked in through Facebook and saw someone review them and say that they didn't like the food and then someone responded very rudely telling that person to go and F$&! Them self and much nastier language.. Don't know if they are related to the owners but that's not a way to bring Business in or to treat a customer.. Would I go back?? No don't think so not Worth the trip. The only good thing was the cashier very nice and polite. That's why the two stars. read more

Good food and beverages. In addition to the glass bottled and canned sodas, they sell typical Mexican drinks, like Horchata. Never seems too busy so you're not going to wait long for your food. Ingredients are visible behind a glass separation. Food is prepared on a large griddle. Chips and salsa (to the right of the register) are available for free, with a purchase I presume, though chip trays could be slightly larger to avoid multiple trips to the counter. Location is modern and but classic. Accepts Apple Pay. Street parking isn't too bad, just depends on the day. read more

Gordillas - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The burritos are long and narrow, just know that going in and you won't be dissappointed. Everything I have tried has been delicious. Their Horchata is some of the best I have had in a long time. The owner recommended the chicharron quesadilla which I generally am not a fan of, but these were to die for. Really, I thought I died for a second, but once my heart pumped the grease around a few times I realized I wasn't in heaven yet, but it was close there for a second. The place has a bit more class and polish than anywhere else in the area. Nice upscale build-out, but still very authentic. The prices are very reasonable and the counter-service keeps things moving quickly, and keeps the cost down. I almost missed the salsa bar at the end! Don't! Their salsas are muy ricos. read more

Love this place. Great food. The burritos are not the traditional huge and fat burritos, they are thin but still on a large tortilla. The gorditas are really good. The quesadillas are pretty large. The chicharron en salsa verde is not too spicy but has a good flavor. Also tried their carne asada, desebrada, and rajas con queso. I've ordered four times through yelp/Grubhub and twice have had items missing -so I guess don't get too set on having a particular item because it might be missing from your order. read more

Food is good. Gorditas are packed with the filling of your choice. Staff are friendly to regulars and newbies. Only down side is the "____ con papa" and has more potato than anything. Need to strike a balance so you don't feel like you are eating only potatoes in your Gordita. read more

Nice place, slow service, and a lot of mistakes on the orders. Last week I ordered to go and they messed up my order. Went back again to dine in with the Fam and ordered 8 gorditas and we got 9. We saw a lady who ordered 10 quesadillas then she came back because she was short on quesadillas. She got so mad that she ends up cancelling the order. The cashier called somebody (the owner?) because the cancelled order and looks like the person on the phone was really mad at all of them. The gorditas are ok, nothing to write about. They are small compared with other places and a bit cheaper. I usually order 2 at other restaurants, I had to order 3 to get satisfied. We placed our order and waited about 15 minutes to get it, there were no other orders in front of us. I can't imagine this place full, probably loooooong waits for the orders. The good thing is that they had a self-service tortilla chips in the condiments section, so we munched on chips while waiting for our order. They didn't have any barbacoa (I was looking forward to try it), so her is our order: 1 Chicharon verde = OK 2 Rajas con queso = OK 1 Rajas, frijoles, and requesón = NO OK 1 Picadillo = NO OK - Had a strong chorizo flavor or they did a mistake 1 Huevo with noples = NO OK - The nopales were over cooked 2 Rajas con crema = OK (One was extra that we didn't ordered and had to throw it away) 1 Mushrooms = OK 2 Jamaica waters = OK 1 Can of soda The salsas are good, but very spicy. We all got hot burn all night. They didn't ask us if we wanted condiments in our gorditas and we assumed that they had the condiment bar for us to put in it ourselves. We took the tray to the table and came back for the condiments and they got mad because we were taking to much condiments. We told them that the gorditas didn't have any and we were told that we were supposed to tell them when we placed the order. Looks like they have the gorditas filling on a cool table, but the containers are over filled in a way that the top doesn't get enough cold to be below the safe 41 degrees. They were wearing plastic gloves and then using the phone and back to prepare food without changing the gloves. They have the brown paper rolls as napkins. They look cool but they are not practical for greasy food. They become transparent with grease and we end up using a lot of paper, because it was gross to use it more than once. The dining space is big, but only one bathroom, I waited 5 minutes, but decided to go home to do my business in my bathroom, because it was taking too long. Tables are not clean and they have spray bottle and a rag on top of the garbage cans. The rags are not submerged in a disinfectant solution. I can only imagine that they are whipping the tables with the same dirty rag. BTW, the garbage cans were overflowing. In general, this is a onetime visit; we just wanted to try the new place, but probably not coming back. read more

We love this place. It's a Durango style restaurant in both the food and decor and it's soooo good.
