Bigger does not mean better! First the good: The food was fast, hot, and considering the shear amount of food I consumed, it sat very well. The bad: This place is cheap, because it is cheap... They don't buss tables, they don't give you free refills on soda, you have to ask if you want more than one napkin, and most of all they don't know how to serve a customer. The young girl was rude, seemed like she didn't really have time or care. The food was nothing special, the best thing I can say about this place is that it didn't make me sick, just mad. As far as food cost per pound goes, I guess you can't beat it! Won't be back. read more

Best Mexican food in Northwest Seattle. The baby burritos are absolutely massive, but don't lose quality at all. They have a number of different specials and unique options that set them apart from the rest. My personal favorite is the potato burrito, which is dense, flavorful and will make you feel full for days, even if you're a bottomless pit like myself. Lighter options include fajita veggies and tofu, pork, chicken, chile verde, and, you know, smaller burritos. Free chips and dip while you wait, good selection of beers on tap, and hilarious pictures on actual babies next to baby burritos. 4 stars for the priceyness of some of the options. It's possible to rack up a $15 dollar burrito if you hit enough add-ons. Added tip: If you're able to go for lunch there's a bit of an increase in quality if it's less crowded. read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - Potato and chicken burrito - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is just so good. I'd say it's the best standard Mexican in the city. The Carne Asada is perhaps the best, but everything else is excellent. Only downside is no Margs. read more

Who needs Chipotle or Qdoba when you have a mom and pop place like Gordito's, who serves burritos the size of little babies? Yes, I saw someone's photo comparing the two, and I must say that my stomach started growling a little. This place boasts healthy Mexian food and although I'm not sure I believe it's necesarily "healthy," I have no doubt this place is a knockout for deliciously awesome food. Their ingredients are fresh and flavorful. They don't shy away from size (always a good thing!), and the folks are friendly and swift about getting your order made pronto. Prices are sweet, to boot! I love me some Gorditos when in the mood of thinking I can be fed and eat like an army. read more

MONSTROUS BURRITOS! Enough food for at least two days if you're not sharing. This place serves "healthy" Mexican food, but they fail to mention that the serving size is FAR from a healthy amount. I have no problem with this, however, as you get a gigantic, delicious burrito for around $5 and don't have to worry about buying or making food for the next day. It's loud and busy in here all the time for good reason! I only come a few times a year because I can't quite handle that much Gordito's. It's literally too much of a good thing. Ps. you HAVE to get the horchata. So. Good. read more

The Baby is enormous! That is the biggest burrito I've ever seen.

Yay Gordito's! My cousin and I shared a regular sized burrito (which is huge!) and beans and rice for about $9 and we were STUFFED. We're not puny eaters either. I love me some good Mexican fare!! They give you chips for free and there is a salsa bar from which you can pick the perfect level of spiciness to suit your palette. You do have to snag your own silverware and water (and bus it), but I don't have a problem with that if it lowers prices. We sat outside along with my sister, grandma, and mom (hooray for family outings) and although the view is not great (alley), the sunshine and light breeze was perfect. If I'm in Greenwood and in the mood for Mexican food, Gordito's is where you'll find me! read more

Biggest. Burrito. Ever. Great service, cheap buckets of beers, salsa bar, too. Back patio to bust a hang with the crows. Terrible parking. I want to be here every day of summer forever. read more

Great food- fast service and spacious seating! Amazing dining experience in a great part of town. Chips and salsa was good! Highly recommend the tostado salad with chicken! read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is ok. Nothing special about the food. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

I've been to Gorditos three or four times now and had something different each time. Lots of people can be seen coming and going from this place so I can assume it's fairly popular. I don't really consider myself to have a "weak" stomach at all, but every time I have eaten there I have felt ill afterwards. (Which is why I tried different things each time I've gone) I enjoyed the food as I was eating it and I like the casual environment inside, but the post-eating feeling has kept me away from this place since the last time. read more

This is my friend's favorite Mexican restaurant... So I had to try it. We went here and I decided to get the same thing she gets. That being a quesadilla with fajita veggies and guacamole inside. The food: The 'dilla was good.. I dug the veggies.. but the strange part was there were tomatoes in there too.. like grilled tomatoes.. which made the 'dilla a bit soggy and messy. The chips are salsa were ok.. You have to order them extra because they don't come with the meal. But they do have a salsa bar easily accessible which is a plus. The ambiance is... really lacking. The place is not comfortable or cozy.. and the tables are sticky. This is not a place to dress up for. There were flies circling 'round actually.. inside. I would go back to try one of their famous burritos - But I would take it to go. read more

I love gorditos. Fantastic staff, great salsas and now their "chiquito" sizes which are still gigante and leave you STUFFED. Amen for a great spot in Greenwood. read more

So happy we gave up on the dumpy, dirty, dingy little Mexican food place nearby for this gem! Yum! Yum! I had the Baby Burrito, and although it was nowhere the size of a bebe, it WAS still ridiculously huge (I saved 1/2 for tomorrow) and it was freaking DELICIOUS! Thrilled to find this Greenwood gem. Cheers Gordito's! read more

Grande Wet Burrito Enchilada Style. I've eaten it in one sitting, once. I won't do that again but, I'll make bets with my friends. Gordito's has great burritos. Best in Seattle for me thus far. The price isn't too bad for what you get either. Definitely a two-three mealer. And it is good every time, even cold leftovers! If you like Mexican food, try it, you'll love it! read more

Flat out, hands down, the BEST Mexican food in Seattle I've discovered so far. I used to live in So. California and I can't remember anything like it even there. I'm not saying it's more authentic than any of their competitors, just unique and in a class by itself. Like many Mexican restaurants, they go absurdly overboard on the portion sizes, but...MAMA SITA!!! The Grande sized Burrito is easily four times the size of any other I've seen...this meal is meant to be shared, by many, many people and arrives on a plate the size of a trashcan lid, and the other entrees here follow suit. The secret to Gordito's is getting your meal "Fajita Style", which is a homemade mix of sliced peppers, onions, tomatoes and magic spices that elevate the already great fare into the stratosphere. I've never tasted anything comparable...anywhere. Burritos can also be ordered "dry" or "wet" with the latter slathered in homemade salsa. And at Gordito's "spicy" means really F-ing spicy, but you can always order less spicy and then visit the salsa bar where you'll find a couple of liquid face-melters to apply on your own. Gordito's also bills itself as "healthy" Mexican food, which means the food is trans-fat free, beans are made without lard or oil, rice without chicken stock, and all meats are grilled...which just adds to the flavor. Tofu is an option on many plates. Huge menu, comparatively cheap prices and quick turnover make this place VERY popular with the locals, with a line out the door and up the block on weekend nights, but don't let that dissuade you, the Gordito's team works with military like efficiency, often taking your order in line before you ever reach the counter; I've never waited more than 10 minutes to place an order even on the busiest nights. There's no formal dining here, they bring out the food and then you're on your own for the utensils, water, napkins, etc...but this just means they can keep the prices affordable while still offering knockout food. Warning: the micro parking lot next to the building is hard to get in and out of and only holds about 7 cars, so be prepared to seek street-parking. Fast, good, and cheap, Gordito's has got it all. read more

WOW, what a great wet veggie cauliflower burrito.... , thanks for an awesome lunch. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Gorditos Healthy Mexican - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

What the hell is wrong with Seattle? This place is absolutely awful, and yet there are SO MANY positive reviews for this place? I've eaten here twice (I tried to give it a 2nd chance because the reviews were just so positive) and was let down both times. Yes, the portions are gigantic ("baby-sized" is a fairly accurate assessment), but if someone piled up a "baby-sized" portion of garbage on your pate would you find that you be appetizing? Well that's basically what is going on here, because the food is just not good. The fish on my fish burrito was tough (tough? How do you have tough fish?) and it was absolutely drenched in lime juice which actually made me pucker when I ate it. I was starving so I actually ate about 2/3s of my meal, but I really wish I hadn't. Sadly, for two people the price is about 16-20 bucks. Not overly expensive, but still...I feel like I just threw 18 bucks down the toilet which just infuriates me. It's not just that meal, though, the first time I ate there was the "Aborted Fetus", as I call it...the Wet Burrito. The chicken was hard and over-seasoned. The sauce looked like spaghetti sauce and didn't even remotely taste like salsa/red sauce. And the chopped tomatoes were completely out of control (I'd say 2 tomatoes worth). I should have learned my lesson. I'll never eat at this place again, and I suggest that you avoid the reviews of people that clearly like to eat trash. Go to Chipotle's or even Taco Del Mar for a still-large burrito that is made by competant cooks. read more

I cannot stop going to Gordito's. Seriously, they know who I am. I am originally from California and this is one of my top picks I find that other vegetarian burritos from other Mexican restaurants in the Northwest consist of carrots, zucchini and other weird things. Not at Gordito's!!! They put big chunks of tofu, tomatoes, black beans, peppers, etc, etc. The "wet" sauce is delicious. Horchita is the best around. Guarantee if you go on a Friday or Saturday night you'll be waiting in line. It's usually out the door. I'm not giving it a full five stars because I've only had their fajita wet veggie tofu burrito. read more

You know what? I didn't even the read the rest of the reviews after I saw the burrito vs. baby picture. What else do you need to know. This place is right in the hood and I had no idea of this hidden gem. Of course I ordered a baby with no rice. Now get this straight, I'm a big time grande size burrito eater from the Midwest. Give me steak and then extra steak and some hot sauce. I've dominated more burritos than I can even recall. So, I've smack talking rights.... The Baby destroyed the Champ!! First off, know that when you see that they made your burrito with 2 jumbo ass shells, you are in trouble. I was amazingly surprised by the amazing taste quality of all the parts. Very fresh and flavorful. The joint is totally old school and the kind of place that should be nominated for 'most normal f'ing place' in this foodie town. Sit next to other random hoodies, wrestle your burrito, bus your own gear, and don't front. You just had your ass-kicked by a burrito. hahaha..... Recommended for Rockstars. read more

The amount of food for the price just can't be beat. Their large burritos are compared to the size of new born babies on photos above the door and sometimes are bigger than the baby. The food is great and does taste healthy. Classic beverages that I would find in Mexico like horchata and agua fresca are served. The salsa bar gives you the option to spice it up as much as you would like. Each time I walk in the door I feel like I am back in Mexico. The music, the terra cotta tile floor, the tables. Love this place! read more

Ray: Last week, on the night of our weekly forage, Josh suggested a place in Greenwood called Goridtos. He explained that this is the kind of place that you order at the counter, then they bring out the food, but there is beer. He had me at beer... We headed out to Goridtos. It was easy enough place to find, with a small parking lot. We went in to find a rather lively establishment. There was Mexican Mariachi band music playing (not sure if its mariachi or not but it was lots of brass and singing), I loved it. I looked over the menu and bellied up to the order counter. I noticed they had Carne Asada on the menu, one of my favorites. I knew that "a place like this, you know, where you order from the counter" couldn't possibly make Carne Asada the way I like it, but I decided to see what it looked like all the same. Oh, and they had a delicious IPA on hand that I can't recall the name of. Beers in hand, we took a table in the dining room and waited for our food to arrive. It didn't take very long either. When the server arrived with my plate, I literally said, "Wow!" I could not believe that I was looking at a plate of Carne Asada that looked as beautiful as any fancy Mexican restaurant I have eaten at. It was every bit as delicious as well. I was one HAPPY customer. And to top it off, it was a fraction of the price of the fancier places who's name will not get mention. I know what I like, and I like Goridtos. Five stars for one of my favorite new places (new to me). I will, and have already, recommended Goridtos to friends and family - and you. Josh: This Thursday I wanted to go someplace that would be a little faster then a traditional restaurant experience because I had tickets to a show down at the Columbia City Theater. So, for that reason, we ended up at Gorditos in Greenwood. I've been to Gorditos a couple times before, even visited the one in Everett once while waiting for a Tool concert at the Everett Event Center (is it still called that?). Always had a good experience there, and last Thursday was no exception. Gorditos is an order-at-the-counter type of place, with a menu taped up near the register, and the kitchen just behind that. I decided on the burrito with chicken, served "wet". You can order burritos served "wet" or "dry", basically its smothered in red salsa, sour creme and cheese, very highly recommended by this reviewer as well as the menu itself. We went to our tables with the beers we ordered and some chips and salsa. The Salsa probably could have been a little more spicy, but there is a little table set up with a few more options for salsa, and I found the burn I was looking for at that table. The wait was very short and the meals were brought out. The burrito looked absolutely amazing, and tasted exactly to match the looks. The chicken was so tender and perfectly cooked, the burrito was a real treat. It was moist (please pardon my use of the word) without being watery. The only thing wrong with this dining experience was the wailing child we shared the dining room with. Who could possibly cry so much (or so loudly) when you're in the dining room of Gorditos?? I can't imagine experiencing anything short of bliss while there, but this child found a way. It's clearly not the fault of Gorditos, and I can plainly recognize that, so I will not hesitate in awarding Gorditos with a full 5 stars. Very, very delicious food at affordable prices. read more

I'm always amazed how much food you get for your money at Gordito's. For less than six dollars a beautiful, hefty burrito will be served up to you, filled with delicious vegetables, meat, beans, cheese, or any combination you could desire. Forget Taco Bell's 1LB burrito--this baby must weigh at least two pounds and is more than twice as filling. Gordito's atmostphere is festive and casual. I've always loved the pinata burros they give you to remember your order (even though they're no longer filled with candy). I'ts much more fun than a red plastic number. Gordito's is a great place to eat with friends, or as a casual night out with the family. I think they even have crayons and paper for the ninos and ninas. Yeah for great Mexican food! read more

It's the best burrito in Seattle. Of course that's about as prestigious as being the best baseball player in Norway! I grew up in Arizona and spent several years in the Mission District of San Francisco. Seattle is a burrito wasteland by comparison. Why is it so hard to get a tortilla stuffed with warm soft goodness and wrapped in aluminum foil far handy, utensil free dining?? The food is good though not nearly as great as people seem to think. I have to wonder how many of these reviewers have ever had Mexican food in a state that borders Mexico. The meats were OK though not great and sometimes a bit overdone. The salsas are good though even the "hot" salsa was far from hot. If you think bigger is better you're going to love this place. Here's my list of issues: 1) Too big. Seriously, we're already a pathetic nation of diabetic fat asses and this sort of grotesque portion overload isn't helping matters. 2) Rice in a burrito. Not a fan. 3) Sour cream on tacos. Again, not a fan. 4) If you order in the burrito doesn't come wrapped in aluminum foil forcing you to eat it with a knife and fork. For me that makes about as much sense as eating a hamburger with a knife and fork. 5) The clueless customers. I am seriously going to smack the next slack-jawed rock with lips who after 10 minutes of waiting gets to the front of the line and still hasn't managed to make up their mind on what to order. read more

I always give at least three stars when a restaurant has palatable food and friendly service. I've never given one star to a restaurant - and I would give one star if the service wasn't friendly and fast for how busy they were. Nonetheless, the food here was perhaps the blandest Mexican food I've ever had. I had the wet burrito grande with steak. The sauce wasn't bad; however the rest was fairly flavorless. The steak was tender; yet wasn't seasoned well. I frankly don't understand why so many people like this place. Perhaps they have something better there? Perhaps I went on an off day? Perhaps the only thing they're good for is the large portions? I don't know. I'll give 'em one more shot; however I have to say my first visit disappointed me. read more

IF I HAD A BABY... I WOULD TOTALLY SLAM IT DOWN NEXT TO ONE OF THESE BAD ASS BURRITOS! i really haven't had decent mexican food since i left my home in the bay area (pancho villa... still GOD of mexi food in my book), however... this place is riding the "kick ass" totem pole of good food. gordito's por seattle vida! read more

Oh my goodness. The regular size burrito is too big for me, and I consider myself a burrito-eating machine. In my experience it's rare to find a burrito so huge for not-super-expensive, AND it's not extra for sour cream. Deeeelicious and fast! Festive, casual atmosphere! Friendly staff. Order at the counter, eat your free chips and (warm, unique) salsa while you wait for your burrito. A colorful mini donkey pinata acts as a table number so the server knows to whom to bring what. My eyes popped out of my head seeing people being served the "baby burrito." "Baby" doesn't mean SMALL. It means "the size of a baby." read more

The chicken burrito was pretty good. Trouble is, I ordered BEEF. I even pointed to it on the menu as I made the order, to avoid any misunderstanding. Nobody noticed, they were too busy with gossip about somebody getting married. If they can't pay enough attention to tell beef from chicken, what confidence should I place in their health practices? read more

Stopped in when they opened this morning to grab some quick breakfast tacos. Right after he asked me what I wanted and before I could get a word out, the phone rang and he started trying to take some complicated phone order. After three minutes, and with him no closer to writing anything down, I walked out, since he wasn't going to get back to me any time soon. The right approach would've been to ask that person on the phone to hold for 15-30sec while he took my order then went back to the guy on the phone. Really unsatisfying experience, lots of options around and will look to other places first in the future. read more

My first time back since Gorditos reopened, and it still is amazing. My old standby - chicken fajita burrito, wet - was just as tasty as I remember it being. The salsa bar, with chipotle salsa and spicy pickled carrots, was also great. The prices don't even seem to have gone up much in the last couple of years! So happy to see that they are going strong after the Greenwood gas explosion. Everyone should try them at least once. read more

Boy, sometimes I wish there was a multidimensional rating system for Yelp - something that has shades of color, and gradients, and you could look at it from multiple angles. I'd use that system fully to describe Gorditos. Yes. Large. Got it. But fantastic? If the burrito were half the size and half the price, would it still receive the raves? I'm not sure. I've eaten here at least a dozen times, and I think I should like it more than I do. And yet I keep coming back. You see what I mean? I like Gorditos. But it's a complex like, and a three star rating doesn't do the place justice, but it isn't four stars. Ah, who am I kidding. It's a decent meal at a decent price. That's what brings me back. read more

HOME OF THE BABY!! I love this place! The food is delicious, and the helpings are GENEROUS... I probably wouldn't say that this place is healthy... Unless you're going to share your food. These burritos are ginormous. The only reason why it lacks the 5th star, is because I always feel a little dingy coming into the place, and the parking is horrible. Horchata is a +! read more

I got the 2.5 pound burrito (not the burrito grande, but the normal burrito) and here is what I have to say: a) There is NO way this is healthy, especially if you eat all of it, which you will because you won't be able to stop. b) Get the burrito wet, not dry, because melted cheese and sauce on top is always better than not c) You will be stuffed out of your mind If you're eating in, you get chips and salsa with your meal and those are goooooood. read more

Wow! What an incredible experience. The employees are so nice and the atmosphere is super relaxed. We got our food within 5 minutes of ordering and it was freaking delicious. I have never eaten something so fast. Every bite was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spice. The chips and salsa were complimentary and as equally tasty as the meal that followed. Everything was fresh and satisfying. My husband and I foresee this being a spot we will frequent. Seriously can't say enough good things about it. You won't be disappointed! read more

Someone recommended this place, saying it was the best place EVER! Well those are high standards to live up to, especially when it comes to mexican food, but GORDITO'S delivers on that statement. This was the best burrito I've probably ever had. It was delicious and HUGE. I mean really...they say burritos as big as a baby for a reason....THEY REALLY ARE THAT BIG. I suggest sharing one, but if you'd like your own....plan on left overs because those burritos are definitely a few meals worth of food. The service was awesome! The horchata was delicious...also some of the best I've had. I wish it came in a larger cup so I could have had more, but that's okay! I enjoyed it. It was pretty busy in there and Im not sure if it always is, but even with how busy it was.... there was still plenty of seating for all the people coming in and out and it wasn't too noisy or too crowded. Planning to bring my fiance back here as soon as possible. :-) read more

One normal burrito lasted me 3 meals, it's massive! Very, very tasty. I recommend getting it wet. Parking in the back is super tight though. For more space, do street parking around the neighborhood. read more

Yes, the burritos are huge... but that doesn't mean you've got to eat it all people! Maybe "healthy" isn't the correct word to use when describing their burritos, but they are trans-fat free, if that counts for anything. My boyfriend and I come here and split a buritto occasionally. For the price it really is a good deal. We always get the veggie-veggie burrito and it is tasty. He has ordered the fish burrito before and really liked it. Boo for the 25 cent soda refills though... read more
