You're closed today but I can't stop thinking about you. I'm so hungover. I love you.

Baby-sized burritos!! I'm not sure if Gordito's claim to be "healthy Mexican food" is accurate when their portions are the size of children! Nonetheless, the flavors are on point and I have always enjoyed the food here. The chips and salsa are rather meh. That's not what it's about, so don't fill up on them. Additionally, the horchata is also not worth it; save your calories for burrito calories! The burrito calories are the best calories. How good are they, you might ask? They're so good that you won't even care if the restaurant's claim to be "healthy" is true or not! For reals. The healthy part of Gordito's Healthy Mexican matters not at all. My favorite is the fajita style prawn burrito, smothered. I'm two for two ordering that one and I can't seem to try anything else! It's truly excellent. The last time I ordered medium spiciness, but it ended up being rather mild - which was a touch disappointing. However the combination of shrimp, tender veggies, and amazing sauces made it an excellent burrito regardless! read more

I've been a regular for years. Quick, tasty and affordable. Quick pick up during these covid times and the prepackaged salsa bar is great! They offer a slight discount if you pay with cash and almost always have free stickers! Plenty of options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy free and meat eaters. The potato burrito is my favorite- that chipotle crema is a dream. read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

In my humble opinion it is not easy to find good Mexican food here in the Pacific Northwest. The wife is a native Southern Californian so automatically she fancies herself a connoisseur of fine Mexican food. Whatever. We've eaten quite a few places but we don't really love many of them. Enter Gorditio's. Right off the bat I like this place because of all of the eye-popping art starting with the big chameleon on the side of the building. Look out for him as he is huge! Second notice all the pictures on the wall of newborn babies next to these gigantic burritos. Kinda Freaky. Last thing I noted before actually having the food is the layout of the place. I've never been to a real sit-down restaurant where the grill is right by the door. That in itself isn't a positive or negative just worth noting. We started our journey with chips and salsa which were really good. The chips tasted pretty fresh unlike some other Mexican eateries I have patronized and the salsa was also tasty. I ordered the steak fajitas in a casadilla and to put it plain it was exquisite. Perfectly seasoned. The cheese was all melty and gooey. Here's the cherry on top: The tortilla was nice and crispy! I LOVE texture! I didn't do dessert or horchata. I don't usually write reviews until I've been to a place a couple times but I felt compelled to tell you I found good Mexican. The place could have been a little cleaner as there was debris on the floor in some places but nothing gross or off putting. So worth the trip! read more

I used to eat weekly at the Everett location, and miss it terribly every day. I always mean to stop in at this location, but I have too many other favorite restaurants in the area and have to alternate between all of them. I am happy to see that this location is back in full swing and was able to recover after the explosion. I appreciate that this has a small parking lot and is reasonably priced which does make the decision to choose it a little easier. I also really love the giant painting on the outside wall and appreciate that they support local artists on the walls inside. The pictures of the babies with burritos always make me smile too. My favorite item continues to be the tofu fajita burrito. I don't even like green peppers, but always eat them when they are served up deliciously in this burrito. I have had tofu at other places in burritos but it often lacks flavor and here it is scrumptious. I am also a fan of the chips and the warm salsa you get. The salsa bar is also a nice touch as I think everything tastes better with lots of onions and cilantro on top. I wish I was closer so I could eat this for lunch once a week. read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say I'd choose the potato burrito from Gordito's as my last meal. It's hearty, savory and absolutely perfect every time! I've been ordering their burritos for pick up or delivery through DoorDash, and have yet to have a negative experience. Their prices are reasonable, service is efficient, and the food is simply unbeatable. They have ingredient options for a variety of preferences, and different sized portions for the very hungry or light eater. I highly recommend! read more

It's been awhile since we last went but we were pretty disappointed in the most recent trip. My girlfriend ordered a burrito bowl and I had a wet burrito. We were pretty disappointed in the quality of the food on this last trip. I'm sure it was there but it was not obvious that they are now charging a 3.5% processing fee so make sure you bring cash read more

Dear Gordito's - sometimes I have wondered if I truly understand love. Why did she have to break my heart? Will I ever truly be able to love again? But then I think about the shrimp burrito I have ordered three times now. Surely, this is a pure love. A bond that can't be broken. I always tell myself that I will only eat half. Why not just save half for lunch tomorrow? I don't need to eat the whole damn thing, do I? But we both know how this story ends. After a 2 minute break I lustfully devour the second half while watching an episode of The Righteous Gemstones. Sometimes love is simple. read more

Fun place with decent food. They need to clean up the way they cook, though. Big time. Food prep methods were gross , and, with their visible kitchen layout, plain as day to anyone who walks in. They pour to-go orders over the ingredients table (where they have the lettuce and stuff) and i watched the to-go burrito sauce miss the to-go box and land all over the sour cream/lettuce. Given the hectic hurry with which this happened, it seemed commonplace. The cooktop is foul, and God knows how well or often they clean by the looks of things. read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - Dirty prep practice. Manager needs to train employees on good and clean food handling. - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Got a wet chicken burrito via delivery app and it really hit the spot. The green salsa is tangy and delicious, would definitely get it again. Their burritos are pretty big for me though so next time I might eat half and freeze the rest for later. read more

One of the very best (perhaps THE best) chicken burrito I have ever munched. So much chicken! Such a lot of beans! An infinity of sour cream. You should buy one or you'll just prove yourself to be garbage. read more

I'm always in search of great burritos and have learned that Seattle doesn't have many to offer. I tried the baby burrito and I keep coming back. It's massive, delicious, and a phenomenal value for the price. It's a hit or miss whether or not the tortilla will rip and it'll come apart, but that just speaks to how big this burrito is. So good!! read more

So friendly and dining room is back open as of Jan 2023! Patio out back is perfect for summer. When I order to go, I always get a beer to sip on while I wait on the bench. Tasty food in giant portions. Love this neighborhood spot. read more

Got the baby burrito and everything was what I expected. Huge burrito with a lot of flavor. If you have a big appetite I would definitely recommend. The service was great and the guy taking the orders was very friendly. Very chill environment and a lot seating. read more

I remember the first time I got kissed by a girl. I was in 3rd grade and a girl snuck up besides me and put a wet one on my cheek. That moment changed my life as now my only goal in life is to make out with other girls. My first time visiting Gorditos's was like that life changing moment. After a short day at work someone suggested we try this place for lunch. We rolled right by the store front as it's hard to see off the road. The parking lot is gravel and the place isn't much to look at from the front. But hell this is a Mexican restaurant and not Chez Francois downtown so I'm not looking for white tablecloths and suave Pierre to take my order. So the menu has a good variety of stuff for some decent prices. I got the full order of the carne asada nachos from very nice people who run the register. It ran about $9 but the best part was that they give me a tiny donkey pinata with a number on it to put on the table. Now anytime I see a pinata I have always had a good time. That's when I knew this place was going to be awesome. Then the food arrives. Huge plate of nachos piled with a ton of carne asada and enough chips, cheese and other greasy stuff to make me smile. It was one huge plate of nachos which begs me to have a heart attack by the time I hit 35... basically the way I like it! My coworkers challenged me to put it all down. Those FOOLS! I was the first one done and I just wanted more! The others ordered a burrito and they were huge. Those wimps cried about how they couldn't finish theirs and had to get those girly take home boxes. Sissies! Real men finish their plates and never take home food! How dare they break the code! I had their horchata which was excellent. Since then I've tired their burrito grande and quesadilla which were fabulous. They pile on meat and the food has good flavor. I'm not sure about the healthy part but this is Mexican food! If you want to rabbit food go to Trader Joe's or where ever all those cheery people eat that have a reason to live forever. For us folks who keep it real and have nothing to look forward to in our lives, we'll just continue to fill our arteries with fat! I am in love with this place! Seriously, like the way I'm still in love with the girl who gave me my first kiss! Now for you sickos who are wondering if I ever got to second base I'm just going to say that it wasn't that good. read more

Que bueno! Their baby-sized burritos are no joke. One of those bad boys is equivalent to four lunch-sized meals for me. I stick to getting my burritos with their grilled steak and l like how they stuff their them with beans, salsa, rice, guacamole and all that goodness. Another thing I like about the place is their salsa bar which also offers cilantro, onions and pickled veggies to top your meal. I love to top my burrito will all that. I haven't got around to try their beverages yet since I usually don't have room in my belly for that. But I have heard they're pretty good. read more

If you've seen those pictures of burritos as big as a newborn infant, this is the place that delivers those giant masterpieces. The place itself isn't the "prettiest" place, but it definitely has a comfortable, family filled vibe to it. You wait in line and there are menus for you to look at. The menu is simple and easy. Then someone will take your order on a small sheet which he/she will hand to you after you are done ordering. You bring the small sheet to the cashier and then pay for your food. They'll give you the cute little pinatas with names attached to them for you to take to your table. Right next to the cashier is where you get some complimentary chips and salsa. Next to that station you can find three different kinds of salsa, and then the water station. There is a shelf just to the left of the water station where they have a bunch of boxes for you to take if you have any leftovers. You can find forks, straws and knives right next to the salsa station. Everything is quite easy to find and up to you to pick what you need - I found this to be really nice. There is a lot of seats as well, and outdoor seating for the warm days! The tables and chairs aren't the most luxurious, and some of the chairs were a bit dirty. We tried two of the salsas, as well as the fresh, warm salsa that they give you with your chips. All the salsas were pretty good (the spicy one definitely has a kick) but I think the one that's warm is the best one. The chips are lovely. They are super thin and crisp. Perfect little chips to munch on while you wait. And the wait isn't even that long before your food comes out! We got the infamous baby burrito. Yes, it is huge, and I would probably share. There is nothing "healthy" about this giant portion size. We got ours "wet" and with steak. The burrito itself is full of rice, beans, cubes of steak, salsa and guacamole. The whole thing is smothered in sauce, but not too much that it's drenched. Then it's topped with cheese. I think it's a good idea to keep some salsa on the side because the inside can feel a little on the dry side because of all the rice. The steak pieces were yummy and it tasted like a pretty good burrito. There wasn't anything that overly "wow-ed" me, but I'm glad that even with something this big, the quality didn't suffer. I think it could have used a bit more guacamole too, because I couldn't taste it in some of my bites. The wilting lettuce on the side is a little sad, but we just decided not to touch it. We also decided to get a half order of chicken nachos. The chicken was so delicious. It was grilled to perfect, tender and moist. Sadly because the chips are so thin, they do start to get on the soggy side because of all the toppings. The cheese is good, but then it starts to harden and I'm sure you know how that is. However, they were a pretty good contrast to the giant burrito which offered many forkfuls. Service here was wonderful. They have humor and make sure that you enjoy everything. I really felt like home here. You bus your own table afterwards. You can place all your plates on the shelf underneath where all the to-go boxes go. The portion size on the baby burrito is giant and we had a corner left and a lot of nachos to go. Price is definitely good. For the amount you get, everything is pretty cheap. We left super, super stuffed and had leftovers all for less than $25. Food was about 3 stars on average, but service took it to the next star. It didn't wow me, other than the size of the thing, but the meal was really filling and still good. I will take my food coma self to bed now. read more

For burritos the size of a burro, come here! I always forget how huge the food is at Gordito's until I visit them again.. it is then and only then, that I remember the true meaning of 'wet jumbo'. I don't head to Gordi's all that much because, in all honesty, I'm not much of a fan of huge portions, because usually, if it's in front of me- I'll eat it. Sad, I know. Put a wet burrito and a bowl of their never ending chips and salsa within arms reach of me and well.. I'll probably put most of it away.. Pretty disgusting (if you've seen a Gordito's Jumbo), I know. I'm not proud of it.. but it's just the way it is. Today, I played it safe and ordered the Fish Burrito on Whole Wheat to go. Aside from being just a tad too salty, it was pretty dang good! The fish was charbroiled and the cabbage and the cilantro really made it taste fresh. Fast service with a smile and they always keep that long line moving. If you, your brother, sister, aunt, uncle, and best friend are ever jonesin' for some 'Healthy Mexican Food', go see Gordi' You absolutely cannot go wrong with one of their 'Plates'. It really will feel a small village for a week.. No joke. read more

The food is fine-ish. The fact that it is still takeout only is disappointing. This is not food that travels well. Oh well, I'll try again some time and hope that I can eat the burrito fresh and not all poorly aged. read more

Gorditos is officially opened again! I'm so happy! We brought our 5 week old son and honored the tradition of taking his picture with their Baby Burrito. It was delicious...the burrito, not the baby. They will even make it fajita style where sautée the veggies. My husband and I split the burrito and a half order of nachos and it was quite filling. Their iced tea is really refreshing. My only complaint is that it gets warm in there but today's high was 91 and the door was always open since it was their first day open since the explosion. You can't go wrong here. The people are wonderful, the food and drinks are delicious, it's family friendly and a Greenwood staple. Get in here and enjoy! read more

Baby sized burritos. Best salsa. Always fresh, food is simple but fantastic. I've yet to have anything from the menu that wasn't good. Super nice staff. Great decor, outside patio during the summer! Can't recommend enough. read more

This review very much takes value into account. Gordito's isn't quite on the level of, say, La Carta de Oaxaca. It's definitely an unprepossessing place, doesn't even have table service. But, man, the dollars per pound ratio of the burritos is insane. You get leftovers for days. A grande Gordito's burrito will feed all but the biggest, hungriest people at least two servings. That's just one advantage. The food is all made with fresh ingredients. That right there puts it ahead of the majority of restaurants. Much more healthful and flavorful. Yeah, they're not shy with the cheese and sour cream, so it's overall not a healthful meal, but the ingredients themselves are better than most places. It's a fun, laid back place to eat. Great food, several draft beers to choose from, mellow and friendly vibe. They could use some better ventilation on hot days, and they could stand to turn down the music. read more

Everything about Gorditos screams authentic mexican food, except the food itself. Walking in to Gordito's, I was transported to San Francisco's Mission. This place looks and feels like the real deal, complete with hipster families enjoying their enormous plates of food. My husband looked at me and pronounced, "You've been holding out on me!" He assumed we hit the mother lode. Gorditos seems like the real deal. It really does appear that way, up until you get to the salsa bar with its two watery offerings. Everywhere are signs that you may be close to greatness: from the aqua fresca, horchata, great beer, giant burritos the size of babies, house fried chips, and fresh made salsa. Everything looks potentially fantastic, but just tastes just, well, large. That's when you realize this place has a case of mistaken identify. I do think if the team at Gordito's could dial up the quality of the salsa, get a burrito steamer, and dial up the flavors (get rid of the boiled tomatoes and sour cream in the shrimp burrito for example) this place could really be the real deal. Maybe a road trip to the Mission District and some immersion in places like Papalote or La Corneta could inspire & improve things. read more

We were hungry, in need of something spicy, but unwilling to travel out. Then we found this place. As soon as we took a bite off from our food, we went into silence mode and just digged the dishes. Need I say more? One star off because I think the draft beers here weren't good matches to the food here. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for about 4 years and never got around to trying it out until today. We made the mistake of thinking the "burrito" would be a regular sized burrito. Well, it isn't really. It's still huge. So if you're not trying to be super full, maybe split it with your dining companion, order something else, or save some of it for later (not sure how well it'd hold up though). I ordered the steak burrito, dry. (There is an option to get your burrito "wet", which is basically a smothered burrito. Weird side note: I wish they'd call it smothered instead of wet... I find that wording to be so unappetizing.) Your food comes with chips and salsa which is sooo nice. I feel like that's a rarity nowadays, when in my childhood I swear everything Mexican place we frequented gave complimentary chips and salsa. The chips and salsa aren't anything super special at this place, but they're nice if you're hungry and want something to munch on while you wait. Speaking of the wait, it probably only took about 5 minutes to get our food. We were pretty shocked at the size of our burritos, but I ended up eating a little more than 3/4 of it. My sister only finished a little over 1/2 so it really depends on how much you can eat, how hungry you are, if you ate earlier, etc. The burrito itself was pretty good, not mind blowing, but definitely a solid burrito that I can appreciate. I think next time I'd order a smothered burrito to try that out. The fajita prawn burrito looked appealing as well, as did most of the items I saw on their menu. Definitely going to have to come back here because they have a huge menu. Another thing to note: the pricing was very fair. It was only $9.78 for this huge steak burrito and a fountain drink, plus the free chips and salsa! They also have a salsa bar! I didn't really check it out though. Also, there is a lot of seating so it's not one of those places where you have to fight people for a table during busy times. read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - Chips and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

When my friend brought me here, I was pretty skeptical. I'm not usually a huge fan of rich Mexican food, but he did point out that the sign says "Healthy Mexican Food" haha. Not sure about that! The place itself didn't win me over right away either- honestly all the babies & burritos pictures kind of creeped me out. But I liked the family-style atmosphere and the family feel of the place. Plus the random decor was entertaining and there was great people watching! The chips and salsa were a delicious start. Loved the variety of salsas and authenticity of the tortilla chips- you don't get that everywhere! But what really sold me was the GIANT burrito. We split the chicken burrito grande, and I was completely amazed at how much I enjoyed it. I was also amazed that I quickly consumed almost all of my half without even realizing it. I think the key is the surrounding sauces on the burrito, and the mix of crunchy and creamy in every bite. See photo below for more details. :) I don't often make it over to this neighborhood, but I will definitely stop by here again, maybe this time after a long run so I can gorge myself guiltlessly. Either way, one of my new favorite unpretentious and family-run Mexican spots. A great place to take an unexpecting friend! read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - Burrito Grande with chicken - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Delicious burritos! It was a two meal giant! I had potato. My husband had the quesadilla and said that it was tasty, too!

I've seen signs for Godito's for a while now since I am in the Greenwood neighborhood fairly often. I finally decided to go in and give the place a try! They have a huge menu of all kinds of various Mexican dishes and many varieties of different things like burritos and such. I ordered a potato burrito which was very good! It had a little bit of kick to it which I have been hoping to get and have not had in such a long time! If you want the burrito wet then you get a kind of red sauce put on it. The ingredients taste fresh and you get free chips and salsa with your order. In the dining area there is a salsa bar along with some other garnishes that you can add to your dish. The staff here is friendly and the wait for your food never seems to take very long! I look forward to a return trip! Perhaps after a visit to the nearby Flying Bike Brewery? read more

I've been going to Gordito's since I moved to Seattle. Basically, I was at Pike Place Market and back in the day, Aunty Marlene had a coffee cart at where I happened to meet her. She told me about Gorditos and the rest is history. All you need to know is this: funky parking lot, great portions, good prices, and tastes good! I'm not a connoisseur of Mexican food; Gorditos serves my purposes well. Also, having a child, I've always been able to find something that my child will eat which can sometimes be a challenge. The burritos are as big as everyone says and I've never been able to finish one (even the small one). I always have to share an order of nachos with someone and it pretty much goes that way all the time. I feel like I get a good value for my money in a comfortable environment. read more

I have friends who are obsessed with Gorditos, so I decided to join them coming here. They kept talking about a "Baby Burrito" and for my first visit - I decided to get one (I will never order a baby burrito for just myself ever again). It was cheap, and I actually ate it for 2 meals. The burrito is literally the size of a newborn baby. The burrito was delicious - it was packed with flavor and freshness. It also came out really quick. I got the "Dry Style", but I think I want to try the "Wet Style" next time (basically if they put sauce and salsa on top of your burrito or not). I could have used more sauce on my burrito. You get a free basket (or two) of chips, and you can choose from ~8 authentic salsas that vary in spice and tomato. I munched on these way too fast because they filled me up before my burrito came out! The menu has many options to choose from, so I can't wait until my next visit to try something different. Be warned - it's very difficult to exit Gordito's without your own food baby. read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - my hand vs the "baby burrito" - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Gorditos is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. Everything is fresh and the food is amazing!!!! I love the burritos, especially the grande carna asada burrito for $8.95. Its the size of a new born baby. Freaking Epic!!!! When you order a burrito you need to order it wet it makes the burritos taste so much more delicious. The parking lot is very small and sometimes hard to maneuver around. So if you have a big vehicle I would advise you parking elsewhere. The restaurant itself is kind of a dive but that's what gives it so much character. The people working there are very friendly and have great service. They have a great salsa bar where you can choose from mild to hot salsas, pico de gallo, an onion cilantro mix and pickled carrots, jalapeños and onion mix. Everything on the menu is under $10 so it's very reasonable. read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - The regular wet steak burrito. So good!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Gorditos has been my Mexican food of choice ever since I was a starving freshman at the UW 8 years ago. It is inconceivable how much food they can give you for the price, wrapped up in the magnificence that is one of their burritos. And the quality is much better than I would expect for the price. My recommendations are the regular size Chicken or Fish Burrito ordered wet. While I am not a vegetarian, I have had their Veggie burrito and it is very good as well. However, if you and your dining companion can agree on a burrito, order one Grande burrito with extra plates. It's the same amount of food as two regular burritos, and priced less. read more

Gordito's taught me that size does matter when it comes to burritos. This place has the bombest, biggest burritos you will ever have AND for way cheaper than anywhere else for what you're getting. I'm sure you have seen that the burritos are freaking huge. They really are the size of a small baby. It's cheap and it's healthy ;) and you get free chips! I always get the wet burrito when I come here and it's only $7.50. It's stuffed with rice, beans, choice of meat, onions, topped with red sauce, melted cheese, and sour cream. They are really good about putting just the right amount of red sauce on your burrito. Never drenching it so the whole thing is soggy. There's enough for lunch and dinner. And the meat is nicely seasoned and grilled and so are the onions. Their spicy salsa is really good too. Their horchata is also awesome. A perfect amount of cinnamon. Never bland. If you're looking for a place to have awesome mexican food and at great prices, I would definitely make a trip out to Gordito's. They even have free parking! read more

We came in on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. I had a delicious, giant fajita burrito! The roasted tomatoes were my favorite part, and the chicken was flavorful.

I will definitely be back in the near future! read more

This is the best burrito place i have eaten at in Washington State. That is nothing to sniff at. But this place is something to eat at. Something special. My cousin recommended we get take out and I was the lucky one to lug these burritos home. The grandes are huge and at least a pound each (see their wall of "burritos next to babies" photos). We got two steak grande burritos and a kids quesadilla. As tough as they were to carry, they were easier to eat and i ate 80 percent of my grande, and the only reason i didn't finish it was over (what i believe to be) falsely veiled self-respect. I got my burrito spicy and it had steak, cheese, rice, beans, jalapenos, pico, and guac. It was A TASTY BURRITO MY FRIEND! I can't believe I've never been here before. It hurts my burrito pride to admit that. My burrito pride is not falsely veiled. Shout out to Garrett. read more

The only word I was really capable of saying here: Damn. (TL;DR at bottom) I would like to debate with someone who dislikes this place, because it is great, and probably one of my favorite places in Seattle to date. Let's rewind a bit prior: I dragged my friends here on Easter, a bit over a month ago, but much to our chagrin, Gordito's was closed. (As was every other place in the area; as our place was just over 30-40 minutes away by bus, arriving to a we're closed sign was not the greatest of feelings. Then again, not checking ahead to see if they were open was me not being the sharpest cookie) By the time we were free enough to attempt a round 2, everyone was gung-ho and we had lined up the expedition. Time to roll! Wallets! Check! Bus pass! Check! Empty stomach space! Check! We arrived at Gordito's and YES, IT'S NOT CLOSED! YAY! My friends more or less decided in a heartbeat. Straightforward burritos, great. On the other hand, I was thinking. I've made the journey to reach this place. Should I go for the grand prize? I initially caved to my safe side and ordered a regular chicken burrito. But then...a few things happened. The primal human instinct that is "go hard or go home" kicked in. -- upgrade to baby burrito The nice cashier lady was laughing at me (well, it could've been a funny joke). I became self-conscious. I think because I didn't get it wet. -- upgrade to baby burrito wet-style The entire affair was roughly 12 bucks, which...is alright, a bit on the high end of what I usually try to limit myself to while going on adventures. After maybe ~10 minutes of wait they brought the food to us. And....oh my. I was not expecting this. I was not expecting this at all. None of us were expecting this. My friends' burritos were fairly large, definitely enough to inflate a normal human, and probably enough to make me very full. But the baby burrito.... I'm sure many of us have been displeased over the size discrepancy between image and actual product. Anyone who has gotten chips ahoy chewy cookies can corroborate my irritation. (Those things are munchkins compared to what it's seemingly advertised as). But Gordito's...undersizes them in their pictures. Seriously, I was genuinely expecting something considerably smaller, not a behemoth that was ACTUALLY AS LONG AS MY ARM AND TWICE AS WIDE, AND THEN SOME. After quite a bit of picture taking and brouhaha, I dug in. It was really, really good. The salsa, melted cheese and sour cream slathered on top went unbelievably well with the chicken and guacamole inside. There was everything you could ever want or imagine in a burrito. The chicken was seasoned nicely, too. As if this couldn't get dreamier, Gordito's has three cauldrons at their salsa bar to use as condiment. Two of them stood out to me, the chipotle and chiles rojos ( is it chiles rojos? Might be mixing it up, it's the spiciest one there) are the best. Chipotle has a smoky tang to it that goes really well dripped over the burrito, and the rojo essentially gives you a flying kick to the head. I particularly enjoy those kind of condiments. In other departments, service is straightforward, and ambience is pretty resemblant of most Mexican establishments I've been to. However, it's not...terribly clean, (or at least wasn't on the two occasions I went) so if that matters a lot to you...come anyway. The food's great! TL;DR: Hotly anticipated coming to gordito's, got a baby burrito, am now muy gordo with a food baby. Also, protip: if you're there with someone, get a baby burrito and split. It's cheaper, and actually tastier (they include a bunch more stuff) than getting individual burritos or super burritos. (Have had both baby and regular) read more

I can't decide whether to give them a 3 or 4 but I think I'll just go for 3. I'll make this short and simple. Pros: $12 for a HUGE BABY SIZED wet burrito (can fill up to about 4 people), free salsa and chips, mini salsa bar, free parking on the side of the restaurant Cons: Just the environment, very very dirty.... Need new tables, seats, and floors.. Or at least clean them. Did not feel very comfortable eating there. read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - I got pretty long arms btw - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I can't believe I just ate a baby...... -sized burrito at Gordito's. Seriously, this must be shared between 2 people at the very least! The enormous burrito has no trans fat and is tasty, which smells like a good deal to me. Try their Horchata, it's amazing it'll give you seizures! Also, the restaurant gives you an authentic Mexican feel to it with happy music and all. So far, this is my most favorite Mexi restaurant. woot! read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - Baby-sized burrito. And no, my arm is not tiny to make the burrito appear large. - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Want a burrito the size of a small baby? Of course you do, an you want it wet, because it's better. I grew up just 5 blocks from this place, and I am constantly reminded on how much food is contained on a single plate of food. I dare say.. the grande steak burrito, with as much wetness as possible, is a true delight, fulfilling the need for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dinner. It's a flavorful and with meat that is seasoned well, I don't know where the healthy bit is, because of the size of the meal, but I dare say, with their unlimited salsa and chips, you can kinda go crazy with it's deliciousness. The location is a bit out of the way, on 85th, just west of Greenwood ave. There is a small gravel parking lot, but it can be sometimes busy, as well as the actual restaurant. I think you can find a street parking down Palatine or greenwood itself. There is no parking on 85th in this area. The place it what most people would call a Dive, but it's family friendly and it's been here for a long time, so for better or worse, it has character. If you are hungry for something very filling and very large, this is the place for it. Definately recommend for anyone looking to stuff your face with food. read more
