This place never disappoints me, after coming here ever since they first opened. They are conveniently open late with a wide selection of tasty food and delicious aguas frescas. Some of my favorites is their gorditas and sopes: Carne deshebrada, chicharron, nopales con queso, and papas con chorizo. Their Lemonade is always the best, perfectly balanced and sweet. Parking isn't always the best and their other waters can be a hit or a miss but despite that, I keep coming back for more. A must-try local! read more

What happened to this place?!? It was always packed because they USED to have good food, they gave me a sloppy watery ass gordita I asked for chile en rajas con queso and beans, they gave some nasty ass red salsa with chiles and the horchata is straight powdery crap that was separating as I drank it, NEVER AGAIN read more

Not the best spot ! It's alright I mean I ate it but definitely better places to get you a real authentic Mexican meal! Would probably need to come back. I ordered huevos rancheros with side of beans and chilaquiles The meal looks good but it was flavorless and the tortilla was dripping oil and chewy. Sorry maybe try again next time read more

Love the variety on the menu. The best is the tacos and obviously the Gorditas. Also enjoy and have tried a few of their aguas frescas. La de melon, la limonada and others are really tasty and good. There is always parking and seating and I like that they are open late! read more

Best Pazole in H-Town!!! Fantastic service ! I meet up with a close friend here at least a few times a year. We've been meeting for Pazole for 15 years just to catch up and enjoy some great food. read more

Service was not as good as it once was but over the years I've seen a huge decline in the cleanliness of this location. I went this morning and it was dirty all over. I had never seen it this bad ever and I've been going to this location for over 15 years. It was pretty empty and all the booths were dirty, there broken chips all over the seats and the floor, tables weren't wiped down, someone had started to sweep the floor and left the broom there by a table for a good 20 minutes with all the trash on the floor. I was charged $50+ for just a small pozole and 2 kids chicken nugget meals and 2 small horchatas. Again, waitress was nice, no one was rude but the cleanliness of the restaurant is a huge factor in people wanting to return. read more

Absolute worst quality take out! Ordered a fajita torta and as seen on the pictures, you have to scavenge for a piece of meat.the other was a milanesa torta it was the worst cut of meat possible! Completely inedible! Sadly the quality of this restaurant has dramatically sunk beyond TERRIBLE. An employee previously told me that it was because of the owner .... Which I find this to be extremely concerning, I understand everyone is feeling this recession but I figured as an owner you would at least try to keep the customers happy and try to continue to serve the community and people that have kept you in business all these years!!! Absolutamente la peor calidad para llevar! Pedí una torta de fajita y, como se ve en las fotos, tienes que buscar un trozo de carne. La otra era una torta de milanesa, ¡era el peor corte de carne posible! ¡Completamente no comestible! Lamentablemente, la calidad de este restaurante se ha hundido dramáticamente más allá de TERRIBLE. Un empleado me dijo anteriormente que era por culpa del dueño.... Lo cual me parece extremadamente preocupante, entiendo que todos están sintiendo esta recesión, pero pensé que, como propietario, al menos deberías tratar de mantener contentos a los clientes y seguir sirviendo a la comunidad y a las personas que te han mantenido en el negocio durante todos estos años!! read more

First time here and we found a roach in one of the drinks. We just had put an order to go and we canceled everything. The Gorditas of chicharrón were not good at all. Never again. read more

Food was bad messed up my moms order my hamburger had so much salt Service was decent and ambiance is not there at all the location was very bad a homeless person was outside and overall deserves less than one star read more

Los guisos de las gorditas no tenían sabor y la masa de las gorditas estaba seca. La comida de aquí antes era muy rica.

Food came out room temperature. The Nacho chips were soggy and the cheese on top was already stiff getting to the table. The gorditas Do Not Include melted cheesy queso, they said you must ask for it(which was not told abt/we had no clue). They come with your choice or protein, queso fresco, lettuce and tomato's. Regularly. The taco meat was bland, it didn't taste like pastor either and didn't come as a hot warm plate read more

Today was not good here at all. We walked in and the AC was off. Sign number one. We ordered the Huevos Mexicanos and the Potatoes with eggs. The beans tasted sour as well as the chilaquiles. The red sauce was also sour. Our waitress took our plates and explained that people have different tastes and that the kitchen staff tried out what we returned and said it was lacking condiments but it didn't taste bad to them. They took another order from us but we weren't trying to get sick so we just ordered egg, potato and bacon tacos just in case. This is the second time this has happened here but really thought the first time was just our taste buds. Coffee is good here as well as the service but I don't know what happened today. I don't think we'll be coming back here. They finally turned on the AC and hour after being here. read more

Whew.. after spending $100+ for family of 5 I feel like we were ROBBED! Slime in the ice machine, cold enchiladas, Horrible Service, overcooked meat the list goes on. Then for the waitress to give us two dirty cups after requesting another with slime and debris floating each time AS IF SHE DIDN'T SEE IT WHILE FILLING UP THE CUP.. Then had the nerve to get mad at us? If you're looking to get sick COME HERE. read more

My husband and I have been coming to this restaurant for several years because we thought the food was great. We have been told that this restaurant was filthy but because we have never had any problems with our food or bad experiences we continued to come. This evening we stopped by for a meal and my husband discovered a roach floating in his water. A close friend of ours had a similarl experience at this restaurant and since we have been here several times before we were shocked and disgusted. When we asked to speak to the owner/manager we were told she is an old lady and she is asleep already. That was not a valid answer. Sadly we will not be coming here again! read more

It used to be hole in the wall gem on the Northside, conveniently located close to downtown and Lindale Park. Irs been about a year since my last visit.. Gorditas are still my favorite thing to eat here, but today my food was bland. The beans and cheese gordita was okay. The agua de piña was really refreshing. The place needs a little sprucing up, but the staff keeps it clean. My waitress was extremely nice and attentive. read more

I really like this place and have been a frequent since moving to the area two years ago. I do have to complain about parking, there's usually limited parking and each are pretty small for a Ford F-250 or above. I love the Fajita Plate, their beef is always seasoned perfectly, however I do have to complain that they don't serve much. It's mostly onions and bell peppers you see. It comes with a side of frijoles a la charra, rice sour cream, guacamole, pico de Gallo and tortillas, either corn or flour. Flour are amazing! I also ordered the Enchiladas Mexicanas and they were good. They had melted white cheese on the inside topped with queso fresco in the out. It games served with refined beans and rice. The rice didn't have much flavor to it and so did the frijoles a la charra, which came with the fajitas. We will definitely be returning. Also, If I could recommend on a any improvements they would be: - provide cleaner restrooms and cleaner facilities - refine your frijoles a la recipe and rice as they were bland - improve the smell closest to the kitchen read more

Took a friend from out of town here right before an astros game. It was pretty convenient and we were on our quest to visit all new places anyway. They received pretty good reviews on yelp.. ...which helped us make our decision too. Salsa is a good indicator to tell how the main entrees will taste. A red and a green comes to the table with fresh tortilla chips. I preferred the red over the green, and neither were really spicy. Service was outstanding from start to finish. The manager (or owner) greeted us immediately and took us to one of the few booths in the main room. We both ordered the melon aguas which were good, but not that thick. For food, we ordered the 3 fajita tacos, taco de papas con chorizo, and chilaquiles with sliced avocado. The food was all delicious and we both easily cleaned our plates. Friend said the fajita meat is not seasoned that much, which is common at houston area taquerias anyway, I was used to it. We both ordered small liquados to go, friend ordered strawberry and I had a banana. Overall, we both noticed the aguas and liquados to be a little thinner than the place we had visited the day before, in Gulfgate area. Prices for both were also a little more too. We would still come back again, if we're ever in the area. read more

I love authentic mexican restaurant, and this by far the best, I no longer eat meat so when I got there I always get the cheese enchiladas, and they be so good. My boyfriend always get the shrimp enchiladas and they make it special for him since it's not on the menu. The only the thing we don't like is the beans because the refried beans they only thing I hate that they don't have black beans. The whole waitstaff treat us so great and I love that it's like a family operated restaurant and that's what's good about it. read more

I don't know if it's the overpriced bland food or wishy-washy cold red salsa but this place has gone down hill. I'm still hoping this place goes back to its glory days when the food was superb. read more

Yeah still terrible. Thought I'd get a Gordita today to try and support local. For what???? For trash. Bought 4 gorditas of Fajita. I spent $32 for 4 gorditas and some chips and salsa!!!! It was DISGUSTING. The gorditas were all broken before we had a chance to dig in. They tasted like they were made 3 days ago and they were stuffed with grade F meat. Charging fajita prices for meat definitely not fajita cut. No execuse for that terrible food. Do me a favor and go down the street to Arandas, drop your food on the floor and it will still be better than those gorditas. read more

I love coming here for my lunch break, the food is great they have many options to choose from, every time I get something from here it never disappoints me and the aguas frescas are so good, the workers are super nice and friendly definitely will continue to come eat here read more

On their best day a 3 star. Fajita meat which I judge all Tex Mex restaurants like I do brisket for any BBQ joint, this place failed dramatically. I would never return. Too blasé. Fiesta en Guadalajara restaurant a block away puts this place to shame. It's a bit more pricey and very noisy at peak times and probably a good place to go on a date as I've seen, but they blow this joint away. Food wise and ambiance. Here Food was way too bland and unappealing. I can get chips and salsa anywhere. Sorry to say it! Nice big menu and decent seating for crowds but that's it. read more

Today after church, we went to Gorditas Aguascalientes on 3810 Irvington blvd. My coffee mug had lipstick and the cup of water had a bunch of stuff floating in it. Plus the waitress had the nerve to admit that they pour the aguas frescas back in the jar so they won't go to waste. We still had to pay for our drinks even tho we didn't really drink them due the dirty cups and mugs. read more

Place is OK. Food is OK. Service is where they lack. If your not a regular they'll ignore you. Waitresses are to busy chatting with the regulars. Never got a refill on my coffee. Had to wait too long for the check. read more

We found this restaurant on Yelp, and gave it a try after having some beers at Saint Arnold's brewery. Best decision ever! It was totally packed upon arrival, barely any open tables, good sign! They immediately brought us fresh chips and salsa. The chips were thin, hot, and crispy. There are two salsas. One, is a muy picante red salsa with to-die-for flavors, and the other a more mild and fresh green tomatillo. There are tons of options on the menu, and I'd be willing to be you can't go wrong. There's a good variety of authentic mexican options, as well as tex-mex. Everyone in my group slobbered over how delicious their food was. The atmosphere is a total dive, don't go for any frills. Regardless of being extremely casual, we received top-notch service from every staff member we interacted with. Although I do not live near this restaurant, I will make it a priority to come back! read more

I came here last Sunday. 5 stars! Chips And Also Are great. I go the pozole (red ) (pork) wow it was so good! Tastes like the way an old Mexican grandma would make it. Seriously some of the best pozole ever. They have live music on Sundays. Very tiny restaurant in the heart of north side. Very cheap. Very good. Will go back for sure! read more

I've been coming to Gorditas for over ten years and it's been one of my go to spots for Mexican food but today was a let down. I was here in July and they messed up my husbands order. We decided to come back today but after today we won't be returning to Gorditas. We waited a long time for our food to be brought to us. Our waitress brought my enchiladas típicas mexicanas and they were cold. My husband ordered three Gorditas and the tortillas were burnt and falling apart. We could see that our plates were ready at the kitchen for pick up and it took our waitress forever to bring our food. Also noticed the cook wasn't wearing a mask when we were laying for our food. Though we've enjoyed the food at Gorditas in the past, we will not be returning after today. read more

I had really high expectations and really wanted to love this place (ok ok, their gorditas) but I was disappointed... Dropped by around noon on a Sunday and yes the place was poppin'! The parking space is minimal but luckily I pulled up as someone was leaving. There were maybe 3 parties waiting to be seated, and the host was really nice and accommodating. I cannot complain about the service, everyone seemed nice and attentive. I ordered gorditas to go. I was told they didn't do to go orders but I'm sure he was just pulling my leg. He politely took my order and made sure the other parties waiting were seated as soon as possible. I ordered fajita, carne de puerco en salsa (pork) and chicharron gorditas. The best one was the fajita gorditas but I've had way better (my brother agreed). I felt like the gorditas lacked flavor and the salsa was weak! I understand not everyone likes hot salsa but hot salsa is a must at a "Mexican" restaurant, or else it's Tex-Mex. I must give them props for their agua de Horchata, it was delicious!!! I may give it another try, I'll dine in next time. read more

Stopped by this place with a friend for a late dinner and a couple of beers. The place is fairly clean and welcoming. They took our order quickly and the food arrived fast too. I ordered a torta and three tacos. I could not believe how BIG the torta was! The only negative is that it took a while for us to get their attention when we wanted another beer after dinner. This may be because they were thinking about closing. However, a family had just sat down to order at the same time, so the staff were going to be there a while. This is good ole' Mexican food...I would (will) surely return! read more

The queso flameado was some of the best I ever had! Perfect amount of chorizo and queso. The michelada wasn't to my liking though, too much Tabasco and no real flavor to it.
