Years ago they used to be delicious but I stoped by today. The worse Gorditas Nothing li before

I'm sorry to say but the food here sucks . The steak was low grade meat and the Al pastor was salty. This place was really good a long long time ago and if you don't believe me go and try them yourself you will be disappointed read more

Me and 3 other of my family members got food poisoning from eating the gorditas here. My 3 siblings that also ate here didn't eat gorditas and they are fine. Possibly expired masa. read more

I came here pretty late one night with some friends after a night out. We were all starving. I believe we were one of the last customers there for the night. we sat down and ordered and as we were waiting for our food, I saw with my own eyes, of the the workers grab all the pickled veggies from each table and pour them back into a large bin. The same bun they took some out of and served to us. My stomach immediately started turning. I canceled my order asap. No one believed me. I sat there cringing while everyone ate. After we all left, I told them to watch through the windows. They saw it for themselves. We'll never be going back. read more

1. Service is really fast and efficient! 2. Ambiance is basic taco joint. 3. Food... nope! I ordered there most sold item, according to our server, chicharrón en salsa verde and it was inedible. I told my server and she told the woman (perhaps then owner) and I was still charged. I didn't eat it. (Y me gusta mucho el chicharrón en salsa verde). The chicharrón seemed rancid and stale. The owner blamed the server. Server had nothing to do with who is cooking. It's unfortunate... I love family owned businesses. read more

Service is so slow, I rarely walk out because I have a long wait to order but this place was bad today. The place wasn't packed, there was plenty of staff but the owner wasn't there. After waiting for about 35 minutes we left with no gorditas! Which sucks because their gorditas are the best but waiting so long, to me is not acceptable. read more

My partner was the one that recommendated this restaurant. It has been a childhood favorite for my partner and it's a no frills type of place. However I enjoyed the atmosphere and will definitely be returning. As I'm writing this review this is my second time coming here. The first time I went here I got a torta de Al pastor. Which i would always order. But this time around we picked up my partner's mom from the airport and she requested to go here for the gorditas. I got 3 two carne asada and one Al pastor 10/10 would come again read more

Pasé por aquí hace un par de minutos un domingo por la tarde. Había un par de mesas ocupadas, pero no había mucha gente. Me senté y escaneé el código QR del menú, pero nadie me saludó. A otros clientes que sentaron despues les trajeron el menú inmediatamente. Esperé 20 minutos y me siguieron ignorando. Salí y no pude probar la comida. Estoy muy decepcionado y no volveré. read more

I love this place but after the lady didn't let me get an Extra container so my son can eat to because we where going to the park and . She said no and I just spent over $99 and she gave me an attitude and everything this happened and told me it will cost extra . I'm February 22 at 2:30 PM. Lady was just a rude person just bc I didn't leave a tip I mean it's to go not to eat there and 100$ come on read more

Gorditas Aguascalientes - Very good place but the lady's that work there gotta go beside the cook.... - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

I had birria tacos and it was THEE BEST BIRRIA tacos I've ever had! The only issue was the language barrier, which botched the service from the waitress. Most things we asked for she just said "No" and when we asked for cokes all around, she brought us diet cokes. Regardless, I will go back here. I will not fault people for language barriers, but in fact become a regular and work through the barrier. The manager or owner seems like he was the only one that spoke perfect English and thanked us in the end for coming. To be fair, I am giving a 4 star review due to the barrier. It's still a great place to eat and I will travel back there anytime I want. read more

Food was good. Asked for medium rare steak on my steak plate. And got well done. That's not the biggest issue, Mexican/ Hispanic restaurants always cook steak well done. But the real problem was there was no price for my steak plate. Ended up being $37 for 8oz of steak, a side of beans, side of rice, and 3 cold tortillas. Was thirsty so asked for a large horchata. 32oz drink costed me $8. All in $45 for one person before tip read more

First time coming here and man was I in for some good gorditas like really good this is spot for gorditas very fresh an authentic I highly recommend coming in I would always drive by and man was I missing out to be honest wish I knew about this place sooner so if you looking for authentic gorditas stop by here will not be disappointed read more

You have to be brave to eat here, but if you know what you're doing it's great lol 10/10 worthwhile adventure. Off street parking and fresh free hot veggie pickles. What else do you need to know?! Service was very friendly. If you don't speak spanish you might consider taking a friend with you who does, but either way you will survive. Very casual, simple place with carbs that will require a nap immediately afterward. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for many many years. I no longer live in Illinois, but every time I am on my way back to Midway Airport, I stop here. I always bring 4 Gorditas home. Only three of them actually make it. I stopped in here last night and it's just as good as it ever was. This is actually the one thing I look forward to every six months. I hope they're around for a long long time!!! PS, we loved the Horchata here. I'm so mad I forgot to get some yesterday!!! OK, second edit after reading some other peoples reviews. When I say I've been coming here a long time I think it's been about 20 years. I get the peppers and cheese Gorditas. And I asked for beans to be put in there. When I picked them up yesterday, I was telling the young man that I was bringing them on the plane. And he said why didn't I tell him that, he would've wrapped them updifferent differently. I thought that was so sweet. To me it doesn't matter how they wrap them up, I eat one before the plane leaves, and the other three make it home and they are fine. I just thought it was super nice that he would've went out of his way had he known I was bringing them on a plane. I usually bring them to work the next day and eat them in front of everyone and make them jealous. I don't know how anyone can complain about this place. When I order on the phone, they always put somebody who speaks English on the line so I don't think that's a problem either. I could actually probably order in Spanish but I'm kind of nervous testing out my abilities when it comes to food.. read more

Not bad at all the food is much better today. Years ago the food was blend no taste to eat and now the food is delicious and authentic Mexican taste. The price of orange juice is extremely pricy. I would not ask for it is just a cup of juice for $7 not worth it over all the service was fantastic we had a server she was very sweet and polite so that Made my day. I had a Gordita de carne asada and 2 tacos de tripas they were good. read more

A Chicago staple for the last 40 years it seems! Get my favorite Rajas con queso, and frijoles con queso for a vegetarian option.

Prices on the menu don't match the receipt. They don't give you a bill, but say pay at the counter with your number. Ok that's typical for a taqueria. But don't state in your menu mini Gorditas are $3.99 and charge me $5. Regular Gorditas are $5 but was charged $8!!! Not to mention their mini gorditas are EXTRA mini!!! My family would come here after every race we did in the city. Just a shame they would take advantage of their customers like that. Guess we'll find another place. read more

La gordita, no es gordita! Las tortillas solamente las juntan obviamente no son gorditas necesitan prestar atención en lo que se basa una Gordita, la carne no estaba bien cocida y su masa necesita sabor, sabemos que el tiempo es importante para los cocineros y trabajadores de ese lugar pero realmente la experiencia que dejan en las personas al servir esto simplemente es nefasta, no solamente la gente no quiere volver si no que ni recomendaciones de visitar este lugar daría. (Se necesita una limpieza profunda en el lugar) read more

My family used to drive here from the suburbs when I was little for the gorditas but haven't been back in a while. I tend to eat smaller portions and now they have mini versions of gorditas and burritos. Perfect so you can try two or eat one and take one home. I got the mini gorditas de carnitas en salsa Verde and one of Chile de arbol. The first is a spicy, salty, perfection of marinated pork and the second is a smoky red sauce with the same tender pork. I love the place! They have picked carrots, jicama and jalapenos to nibble on while you wait. I love all the flavors. Could be remodeled inside but it's just a normal water with tables and all around and numbers on each one. You go to the front to pay and tell them your table number. They charge if you pay with card so bring cash. I was served by several different waitresses so not sure if they split tips or if they just help each other out. Family friendly but I've heard it gets a little loud on weekend nights from people leaving bars. It's a staple in the Cicero community you have to visit. read more

Gorditas Aguascalientes - Gordita mini de carnitas en salsa verde - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

What the hell happened to this place?! The most simple order was made today 5 tacos de asada con carne dorada.... how the hell is the meat nothing but fat?! We did order 5 gorditas and 3 tacos de pastor that came out to $50 something. Problem #1. They wouldn't prepare our food until my husband got there to pay... ummm what's the point of ordering ahead if they won't make the food Problem #2. Carne dorada was not dorada and full of fat. (When I called they told me to save the tacos and go back another day for better ones... yeah lady we don't live near!) Problem #3. You expect the bomb ass zanahorias and salsas and we got NONE! Life time customer YOU GUYS JUST LOST! read more

Food was gross! I took a bite of my torta and immediately was grossed out. Obviously had to stop eating it everything was sooo sloppily put together. Rice was terrible it looked almost like masa over watered. Service was terrible!!! We didn't get asked any questions til about 10 minutes later. We should've just left. My visit overall not great. Hope your visit is a little better. read more

I was very excited going into this restaurant since it looked so authentic, but alas, I was a little disappointed. The chicharron taco felt like the chicharron was boiled in water it was so flimsy. The red salsa tasted like I didn't even put salsa on my taco/burrito. The steak burrito was okay but it lacked a bit of flavor. The horchata was good but it was very very sweet, almost like blended flan. The only thing that I thought was amazing was the pickled carrots read more

Ya ultimamente las gorditas son pura masa! No solo eso el cafe sabe a pura agua y los baños son en verdad falta de respeto para las personas que tenemos años comiendo allí! No más! read more

I'm now really disappointed with this place that once was like part of my fam! I went there Sun and the ladies bathroom has no toilet sit then I tried the second one and the baby table was broken and in order to use the toilet you had to go under! The place is always full don't customers deserve better than this? Who is running this place they need new management! Also, they charge 5% if you pay with a credit card! read more

Overpriced and false advertised prices. Server and cashier were rude when discrepancies were called out on our bill. A lot of things here are market price so they charge you whatever they want without telling you. $12 Gorditas and $6 horchatas.! read more

I went in for some Gorditas today along with the family .. we all just ordered the basic Gorditas and tacos and when we got the bill, it was way overpriced!! The prices that were listed on the bill did not add up to the ones on the menu. We will never return ! read more

The food and service here used to be good a couple years a go but now its been consistently bad. The food quality is horrible and the restaurant is run the owner son Ivan and he has horrible customer service. He is extremely disrespectful and he has lowered the quality of the place. Its even worse if you order through uber eats or door dash they do not put any care on their deliveries. If youre looking for good gorditas I would say find a better place because this is not it read more

I went here on a Monday evening. I had 0 complaints. I have read the previous reviews and saw a lot of complaints. Maybe I had a good day their ? I went their with 3 of my buddies and everyone loved the food. The Gorditas were fantastic and my buddies al pastor quesadilla was amazing. Waitress was friendly and attentive. A picture of the al pastor quesadilla is attached. read more

I ordered 7 gorditas and two drinks to go. I was shocked to hear that it was almost $70 for that like I had a party of four eating there at the restaurant. It is gorditas, nothing fancy!!!! I understand everything has gone up in price but $8 for a gordita? You are crazy. And when I went to eat them they weren't even that good. I threw it away. The next day I stopped at the El Milagro restaurant. I paid $7.75 for a healthy grilled chicken plenty of it with rice, salad and refried beans and that's a full meal. I will never stop again at Aguascalientes!!! You can take that to the bank. read more

Too pricey and dirty. The ladies' bathroom had no hand soap, and the smell of sewer was overwhelming. So where are ladies washing their hands? or are they? Mini gorditas are a joke. This place used to be the place to go for good menudo and gorditas. Not anymore. read more

This place has gotten super overpriced. And for plain gorditas. They don't put any beans or cheese or even basic cilantro y cebolla in them. And if you're advertising that your carne asada for tacos is aracherra it should be aracherra. The worst part, $6 for a large horchata. Ridiculous. read more

The best gorditas ever! My favorites were, the cuca, stake, barbacoa and the home made tortilla tacos. We were not expecting much but we were surprised that the gorditas were very delicious. I did not like the gordiata of chicharron in red sause. The chicharron was a bit too big. We also, had horchata and the licuado of Chocolate. The licuado was basically chocolate milk. I had the understanding that a licuado is more as a shake or smoothie but this licuado here was very liquidity. The horchata was very freshly good. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Love the gorditas! I like them so muchI have not tried anything else. My son had a giant quesadilla, it was also very good. And I always have to order coffee, tasty and served with a little concha read more

If you have nothing but time on your hands then go ahead and stop by. Trust me you will spend at least 40 minutes waiting. 20 for a menu, 10 for drink etc. service is god awful. Here's how the whole thing works you come in sit down wait for someone to give you a menu. Order as soon as you see the waitress because she will never come back. Carne asada or arrachera as they call it is tasty but only after you add salt and salsa. I'm a strong believer that if food is good one should not have to doll it up. There's plenty places to go in this area that has more up to par food and with better service. Verdict: SKIP read more
