If you haven't really had Filipino food before this is a great spot to try it out. I enjoyed the Kare Kare and the ube pancakes but the bill does get pricey fast. There is also typically a long line on weekends but luckily Tito will bring out snacks for the wait and chat with you. Food also comes out quick once you get seated which helps cut the overall time down. The place overall is great, I try to reserve 5 stars but this is pretty damn close. I think it's worth stopping by at least once and saying Hi. The place itself is very cute with photos of Tito Greg with dozens and dozens of people and decorated with other classic Filipino items.

It was your typical average latte. I did like how strong it was and it came with a kitty paw! (Barista said he was inspired by his cats that morning lol). I tried both sweet and savory dutch babies, and even though I'm a savory person, I liked the sweet one better. It was creamy and bread was soft! The fruits added the perfect texture and sweetness to it. The savory was okay, keep in mind this is also my first time trying a dutch baby, but I would have liked it to have more veggies maybe? I think I was expecting more of it but it was mid to me. The breakfast plate wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Just your basic breakfast plate. The place is super cute and a bit small! It was a sunny morning so we had a lot of light coming through which I loved!

The amount of food was insane even our server said it was a lot of food! The first course alone could have been a meal. Pita bread with six different spreads just look at the picture! I expected maybe three or four. They explained everything, and I retained almost none of it. All I know is that everything tasted really good! This also came with a very generous portion of Greek salad. That was just round one. Next came the salmon and chicken kebabs, with generous chunks of protein served sizzling. They poured liquid over them at the table to make them sizzle even more, which was a neat touch. Both were very good, and the caramelized onions were great. The spreads from the first course also made excellent toppers for the salmon and chicken. By the third course, we were already getting full, but out came the leg of lamb. I had pictured us having to tackle something bone-in, so I appreciated that it arrived nicely sliced. Tender, cooked perfectly, and very little fat. It came with generous portions of small, partly mashed potatoes and some really good greens. I'm not entirely sure what the greens were, but we enjoyed them! For the fourth course, we chose a blackberry ginger sorbet that wasn't listed on the menu. I also ordered a Prosecco to enjoy with dinner. We ended up taking home three boxes because there was simply no way we could finish everything. Such an amazing Seattle Restaurant Week deal! Service was fantastic, and the pacing was nice. My friend and I stayed a little afterward to chat, and we never felt rushed, even though the restaurant was very busy. Great ambiance and a really enjoyable evening. I'll definitely be back to try their brunch!

Unfortunately, on arriving, there was a mix-up and we had to wait 20-25 mins to get our table. We were a large party (10 people) but still, it was quite a long wait. The manager offered us some free wine and apologized for making us wait. We did enjoy the rest of the night with the huge ensemble of meals and drinks Lola had to offer. Our servers were also extremely nice and polite and quite accommodating to our big dinner party. I really liked the ambience of the restaurant: dimly lit, elegant and cozy with an open kitchen towards the back side. Ordered a lot of different items amongst all of us: Mushroom Skewers (was quite tasty) Saganaki (not a big fan of this.. I didn't like the sweet and cheese together) grilled octopus (I am not a big fan of octopus, but tried what my colleague ordered, and I quite liked it) Doughnuts with mascarpone and Jam (star of the night) Coconut cream pie (also amazing) There was another dessert, I don't recall the name of it but it was peach with chocolate mascarpone (didn't like this one as much as the other two) Overall, had a great time at Lola despite the wait time hiccup, the service, food, ambience were top-notch!

They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions.

It was quite busy which we anticipated, so I would highly recommend making a reservation. We were seated right away with our reservation time, but it did take some time to be served. I enjoyed the hot coffee with a bit of cream. It was good; my only comment is that I wasn't offered a refill at any point, and we were there for over an hour. To be fair, it was SUPER busy; like at least 100 people in the dining room. I had one of their seasonal specials, the peaches and cream Swedish pancakes. It was a generous portion included with a trip to the berry bar. The berry bar was very fresh and well maintained as far as cleanliness. It was also in a prime location, near the tables but not too close and not in the way of the walking path. The peaches were juicy and sweet and the cream cheese frosting was a decadent topping. I added some berries which made it extra special. I liked the caramel shards, but they were a little on the thick side for my liking and were a bit tough to eat. However, I really enjoyed the dish overall! I also got a side of peppered bacon which was well-cooked, crispy, and extra peppery. My friend got the classic French toast and a side of potatoes. She loved the French toast with the included berry bar trip! However, the potatoes were cut into HUGE pieces which were difficult to eat even though they were cooked through. I would definitely come back here! If you're looking for a popular brunch spot with delicious sweet brunch options, check on Portage Bay Cafe SLU!

For the price, the quality and execution were not acceptable. We used to enjoy coming here, but unfortunately, this visit was a significant letdown.

I give all of the people that work at Gorditos 5 stars..... I own Gorditos, and the people who work for me are mostly family members. We could have never been there so long if it wasn't for them. Gorditos was establshed in Dec of 1994, and has exceeded our expections by far.....I would like to thank all of you that have been to, and frequent Gorditos regularly. I know that I proudly work there, because I feel that I'm giving you a good product. I personally love the food (I don't cook it, my husband does that...). I love the flavors of the meats and especailly the salsas. I have to say....I have more favored items than others, but we all have personal preferences. I do realize that we can't please everyones personal tastes, but we try.... As for our prices, I'm very modest about raising them. My food suppliers are always getting on me about doing it, but I feel that I'm in this business to make people happy, not to get rich (if you know me, you know that this is true). I feel that our food has a higher value, but I value you as customers and I feel that our prices are fair. If the food is too big for you,take it home.... thats why we have boxes out for you to take. Once again, thank you to all of you that come often and enjoy Gorditos, and I'm sorry to you who don't enjoy our food or company. I hope to see you soon. Sincerly, Marlene read more

Deception, i go in there seeing a bunch of mexicans cooking followed up with plenty of good reviews i figured this could be a very promising experience. No not at all!!!! If your from the south especially TX don't bother with this place. The seasonings are lacking doesn't really have much flavor (compared to other mexican food). I'm not sure what category this food falls under its not exactly texmex and its not exactly authentic mexican. Since i've moved to this state i've created a new category of mexican food WAMEX definately falls under that category. Far as wamex is concered its just middle of the road 5 out of 10 at best. They tout the biggest but who cares your trading a great deal of quality for quantity. They added a shit load of leafy filler to make the burrito bigger. Instead of adding expensive ingredients like more cheese rice beans and meat they add a shit load of spinich. I like to add salsa and veggies to my meat not meat to my salsa and veggies. The setting was filth I can appreciate a hole in the wall but this one didn't really have that homely feel to it. I felt like i was eating in a dump not a dive. Not much to speak of in so far as service was standard run of the mill food court style. Over all I think even that one star is a bit too much for this place. read more

We recently tried Gorditos Mexican Restaurant, known for its cheap prices and huge portion sizes. We ordered fish burritos and cheese quesadillas. The food was average and could use more flavor, but the service was outstanding and fast. The restaurant was very clean, and since we visited on a weekday, it wasn't very busy. One unique feature is their Wall of Fame, which displays pictures of babies next to their huge burritos. Inside seating is clean, and the food is served in to-go boxes, so our burritos came cut in half. The food came out fresh and good. We appreciated the fast service, which ensured our meal arrived promptly. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience pleasant. The ambiance was casual and comfortable, perfect for a relaxed meal. Gorditos has been family-owned for over 30 years, which adds a touch of local charm. Despite the food being average in flavor, the exceptional service and incredibly low prices make it worth a visit. The portion sizes are generous, making it a great value for the money. It's a good place to try, especially if you're looking for a budget-friendly option in the area. read more

I always thought that this place was called Gordito's. Just Gordito's. So yesterday I went there and I ordered a fish taco and a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. I'm sitting there, munching on chips anticipating a tasty fish taco. I've been here lots of times but I usually order a burrito. So when they bring me my fish taco, inside of the soft corn tortillas I see FISH! And I'm all, "what the hell is this? Fish? Inside of my fish taco?" Not breaded and deep fried, just juicy, flaky white fish. And you know what? It was delicious! What a novel idea! You don't have to bread and deep-fry fish before you eat it. And then it dawned on me, the name of this place is "Gordito's Healthy Mexican Food!" PS: The soup was excellent as well! read more

The first time I went to Gordito's I ordered a fish burrito. It was good, but it didn't rock my world. Yesterday I went to Gordito's, because I am on the wagon, I ordered a chicken salad. The chicken was grilled and placed atop a bed of lettuce and black beans. It was so incredibly flavorful! And not just because I'm on a diet. I skipped the sour cream and guac which usually come with this salad (and the chips and rice too) and I put some of their fresh home made salsa on top. I can't believe how good it was! read more

The thing I like about Gordito's burritos is that they are so huge! That way I can buy one (for under ten bucks) and have three meals! I usually get the steak burrito, with everything--wet. Then I eat some, wrap the rest up and take it home. That's when I work my magic. The next morning a fry an egg and put it on the top of half of the leftovers and presto! Huevos rancheros! The other half gets taken to work for lunch! And that's how I roll! read more

I had not been here in years and was on my own for dinner, so with the veggie wife at work I went with the meat extravaganza burrito. Now this is not it's name on the menu, but will suffice for any grande burrito ordered. It was full of freshly grilled chicken that I watched being cooked while I waited. When I got it home I devoured exactly one half of this monster and promptly passed out on the couch. All in all a satisfying experience. read more

This place used to be great when they first opened. Lived down the street, and would walk over and enjoy the cuisine. After a few years, they decided to change the chicken from white to dark meat- now kind of slimey. Over time, the restaurant deteriorated in cleanliness, and the food quality deteriorated even more. Their only saving grace is their chipotle salsa. Wish they would renovate, and go back to higher quality chicken. read more

It honestly was a suffering to eat the carne asada. What confused me was that they charge $2+ more for carne asada compared to other protein... We also got an agua fresca (jamaica flavor). It was the worst I've ever had - extremely sweet yet with an after-taste similar to the one you'd get from artificial sweetner??? My tastebuds were both suffering and confused. Chewing the carne asada and drinking the agua fresca side by side was quite the disaster for my poor tastebuds that day =( Food was served fast and the front staff was helpful, but this is a fast food style restaurant so there really wasn't much service going on - you also need to bus your own table. My partner seemed to have enjoyed his vegan super green bowl as well as the vegan burrito he ordered for to-go, thus I'm rating this place 3/5 instead of 2/5.

I caught Anita's shimmering food truck in my periphery as I was driving past, and I knew it was time to stop. They have an extensive menu (tortas, burritos, tacos, soups, and more) with what seems to be over 20 meat options. How do they have this many meat options? Where are they preparing all of it? My mom once told me not to ask questions that I don't want the answer to, so I'm just going to leave that here. After sweating out the menu for a bit, I elected for the carnitas burrito (carnitarito) and added avocado inside. Interestingly enough, they don't seem to have guacamole here. Anyone who eats with me knows that I'm not big on avocado slices, but they do a solid job of mashing it up here anyways. This meat vessel was the ideal size. It was hefty, but held everything in perfectly, which is an essential trait for food trucks. For far too long, the burrito-verse has been crowded with: 1) burritos that are too small, or, 2) burritos that are massive, but are falling apart / dripping. Neither of those will do when you're eating a burrito on the move. I just got a new car (big time brag), so I'm not gonna eat a burrito in it anyways, but if I chose to do so it would be a rito from Anita's. The burrito itself had awesome flavor. It's really simple in its makeup, but the carnitas had big, bold, taste and were expert-level juicy. My favorite part was how generous they were with their salsas. All-too-often a burrito joint will only give you one, maybe two sauces. Anita hooked it up with 3. The sauce play was unparalleled. I was dipping. I was mixing and matching. I was combining flavor profiles and colors. A high quality burrito experience, no doubt. Anita's also has an enticing breakfast menu. It's not too often I'm up on Aurora in the wee hours of the morning, but I'd love to give it a shot.

I got a birria burrito and will say they didn't skimp on my protein. It was loaded and held together. I felt it was a tad dry however perhaps I'm used to that protein being accompanied by consome. My friend who is Mexican gave his tacos a thumbs up, but they forgot his sopa. Still despite these snags it beats la oaxachica and is definitely one of the better 'taco trucks' we're tried and perhaps better than nearby TNT. I would give taqueria Juarez a.k.a taco taquemos another try and recommend.

Today I try the appetizer plate with shrimpies rice guacamole and for taquitos and then I got an extra taco. They have quite a few bottled beers and drinks which are more expensive but hey, it's a restaurant and things in a restaurant cost money. Absolutely recommended. The parking lot is kind of tight so be careful. You can get to it best from Northwest 85th Street headed east turning into the driveway, OR headed west turn left onto 3rd and then immediately right into the driveway.

Their carne asada is seasoned well and delicious as a torta, quesadilla, or taco. Staff is polite and helpful and parking is easy. Tucked inside of a liquor store, the restaurant takes up half the space with clean tables. I have never had a bad meal here, from the entrees to the desserts, everything is delicious.

Yes, I'm going to say it... El Taco Loco may just be the BEST taco spot in North Seattle, perhaps…read moreeven the best in all of Seattle! I came in for the first time earlier today, greeted with a friendly welcome and staff happily ready to serve us. I've been searching for a "good" taco in North Seattle, and to be honest - the search has been tough. But I think I may have landed on a juicy gold mine. El Taco Loco serves amazing tacos and other great Mexican bites. Earlier I ordered 2 Al Pastor Tacos and 2 Carnitas. AY! That first bite of the Al Pastor was HEAVENLY. Never have I ever tasted such a delectable juicy taco in this city until now. I think I fell in love with that taco, it was flavourful, and the small bits of pineapple added a nice acidity with the meats. The carnitas were also prepared nicely, shredded up and cooked to perfection. I added the green sauce to it just to add a bigger kick. If I only had to chose one meat, it would be the Al Pastor. I also tried a bite of the burrito wrap with steak, which was also very good, but I much prefer the tacos. Watch out [redacted], there is some serious ta-competition in town. Only downside was pricing can be a little high for a single taco like most other popular taco spots in the city, so if you're looking for an affordable taco, your best bet is to go somewhere south like Burien or White Center. But when you're stuck up north, El Taco Loco is the place to go.
