Amazing food and service. Dangerously a block away from where we live. We pop in there about every other week. Killer carne asada. We go for the taco plates. Never ending tortillas and salsa. Favorite pick is Campechanos steak and chorizo topped with mass queso fresco. Staff are one of the best places in Pioneer Square. Amazing people, so kind! read more

My girlfriend and I went here last night and our first impressions were great but we will not be coming back. We found the ambiance to be excelant. Its a nice and clean place with an open feel. Although, there were not many tables and I felt like there wasn't a good seat in the house. We also found the service to be great. The server was very nice, quite attentive, and met every expectation that we had. The food started out great. Cocktails were pretty good and my choice of tequila was a little less than at most places. We started with the guacamole which came out quicly and was a generous portion of fresh guac. We were both impressed. For our entre we ordered the tomahawk steak. Its supposed to serve two and cost $99.99. What came out was a large platter with about three cheese quesadillas, five soggy tortillas with sliced steak already on them and a giant tomahawk bone on the side of the platter. There were also some grilled veggies but i doubt there was even 14oz of steak on the plater and im pretty sure the meat didn't even come off the bone. However, our issue wasn't the presentation, it was the meat. One of the fattier pieces had a funky smell. I left it and focused on the meat. Then it happened again and then several more times. I eat a lot of steak like at least a pound a day and I am very familiar with the smell. Its the initial signs of meat turning. They had served multiple slices of spoiled meat, called it a tomahawk but it didnt come on a bone, and served the meat on soggy tortillas. My final thoughts are, I don't get to caught up with details of any restaurant as we typically just go for the occasion. I enjoy meat/steak my girl enjoys finding places that she thinks I will like and we both like to make a night of it. Usually if I write a review its because I was just so impressed by something that I felt everyone should know. I have never been to a restaurant that served me spoiled food and I will never go to one that has. Prior to cooking the meat the smell of it spoiling had to have been quite strong so this chef was aware. They may have tried to cut the bad part off but that funk seeps in, I know from experience. I think Seattle and Pioneer Square specifically can be a difficult market but there is no excuse. In retrospect I should have brought it to the attention of the restaurant but I had one of those days where I was looking for minimal human interaction. The meal came to $200 and I paid $265 out the door. read more

We went during a world cup watch party so they had a reduced menu, but everything was tasty! We had three tacos each, a drink, and the guacamole The carne asada was my favorite, the wagyu was too fatty/greasy for me, but the flavor was still good Overall a good meal and definitely want to come back and try their full menu! read more

Gordo Steak - La taquiza and the ribeye carne asada, and queso fundido with chorizo - Steakhouses Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This review is a couple months late but I finally remembered to do it. Had high hopes based on media reviews and trending on instagram. I suppose I should have expected the usual experience of Mexican food in this region. Basic. It wasn't horrible, but it was completely average. We also had the good fortune (sarcasm here) of coming on a night when their hood system wasn't working. So when we walked in the place was completely smoked out. They had large fans sitting on the countertop in the kitchen area trying to blow the smoke out. Due to the smoke they had a limited menu that we were unaware of until we sat down. It would have been appreciated if they would have explained to us what was going on when we checked in at the host stand with our reservation. But no one said a word. We ordered drinks, so it was too late to turn back, so to speak. They had 3 tacos on the menu (all 3 beef, no other protein), guac and chips, a house salad and I think that was it. So naturally I was extremely disappointed. We ordered one of each taco. One carne asada, one Wagyu steak and one ribeye taco. The ribeye had the best flavor. If you had not told me the asada and Wagyu were different tacos; I would not have been able to tell the difference. The Wagyu had nothing special about it. Not in flavor or quality of the meat or tenderness. We also had their $20 guac. It was basic and not worth $20 if I'm being honest. We also asked for their hottest salsa. We were brought something that I think was habanero but it tasted somewhat creamy and it was not very hot. When I asked the server why it tasted creamy we were told it was because it actually has cream in it. I don't have issues with dairy, but it would be super helpful if the staff would explain it has cream in it before bringing it. This would ensure patrons are ok with it in the event of lactose intolerance. And yes, intolerance is not the same as allergic, but it could still cause someone discomfort later on. So guys, do better with allergen training your staff. Overall I don't think anything we had, even though limited, was worth a trip back to give them another shot during a regular service. So to quote the words of the famous FLAVA FLAVE "don't believe the hype"! read more

Although more on the aesthetic Mexican side, food and service is great. Food is delicious, big portions that you can share. Tortillas are handmade! Drinks are yummy. Wish they had a general to go feature (since I work near by). read more

We ordered the picanha (medium rare) and ribeye, which was thinly sliced and cooked well. Both were incredible. We also got the queso fundido with mushrooms and it was delish, although you can't really go wrong with this dish. Loved the piles of homemade white corn tortillas that were fresh. They bring out a large bowl of salsa which worked well on everything. Meals come with a simple side salad and the steaks had blistered peppers and onion. Service was fantastic. The decor beautiful. The bathroom was heated which was wonderful on a rainy June day. Perfect experience. read more

Attentive staff! Beautiful location and amazing food! Can't wait to eat there again it's definitely a space you bring people that love to eat and share good food. My steak can't remember which o e but it was cooked to perfection. read more

OMG this meat is soooooo good!!! New carne asada steakhouse that opened up in Pioneer Square. They have a very limited menu due to FIFA games and crazy crowds so only tacos today. But wow! The meat is buttery and tender, I only got the regular carne asada $5.99 (wagyu or ribeye $9.99). And the house made corn tortillas are thin!!! They even bring out a board of garnish to choose for your water (cucumber, lemon, orange, mint) and free salad on request. I can't wait to come back and try their steak platter. Wow! I'm seriously impressed by a simple taco and the detail of the accompaniments. read more

Instagram Reels sold me a dream about Gordo Steak like it was the hottest steakhouse ever. So I decided to take my mother here for an early Mother's Day dinner. Not only that but it was my whole family's first time here visiting this establishment Somewhere around the third or fourth bite, she realized her NY Asada steak was spoiled. And when I say spoiled, I mean the kind of spoiled that makes the entire table go silent like somebody just got voted off Survivor. Needless to say, appetite gone. Evening ruined. Instagram fantasy shattered immediately. What makes this crazier is this place brands itself as upscale luxury dining. You expect premium quality. Instead we got a plot twist straight out of Kitchen Nightmares. Now I will say this: management handled the situation professionally and comped the meal besides drinks, which is the only reason this review isn't one star. They apologized and tried to make things right. But still... serving rotten steak at a high-end restaurant is absolutely wild. Where is the quality control? I'd expect this at a hole in the wall joint but not from a place with how Gordo brands itself. Social media had me thinking I booked a fine dining experience when in reality I got bamboozled by influencers using good lighting and a reel editor with Final Cut Pro. Take this as your reminder that viral TikToks and IG reels you come across while doom scrolling may be bought & paid for. Never coming back here again. TLDR; They served my mom rotten steak for her Mother's Day dinner. read more

Back in 2020 during the pandemic, my wife I and would order a menu item at Asadero in Ballard called the taquiza. It was stuffed with various grilled meats, a thick stack of tortillas, and salsas. We affectionately called it "the taco box" and ordered it for delivery every week. Eventually restaurants started to open back up and the dish disappeared from the menu which made us very sad. Imagine our surprise when we visited Gordo Steak recently during the soft opening and found a carne asada dish by the same name on the menu. It came with guacamole, a freshly made salsa in a giant molcajete, a blistered jalapeno, and onion -- just like we remembered! We both loved the meal so much we were thinking about it days later. If you have the opportunity, definitely stop in. The service was also amazing and we look forward to becoming regulars here. read more

I've read the reviews on this place and realize that when a new place opens, it can be hit and miss. When I eat out and it's for mexican food, I can be a super harsh critic and I am always hesitant when trying a new place. My son was insistent that my husband and I try this place. On my first visit, I really liked the vibe and the people were very friendly. We took a seat upstairs where there are a tables in place. I will say it was a bit warm but doable. The service was very good from start to finish. The only problem that we had was we ordered too much food. We had: guacamole, carne asada, rib eye tacos, arrachera, queso fundido, chips and salsa; plenty of tortillas were in place for all. I had mexican cola, always do and a my husband and son had margaritas, while my daughter in law had water. All of this was great tasting food. I have to say that the salsa was probably my favorite, this comes with crispy, fried tortillas served to break into pieces and there wasn't enough of these at all so we did ask for more. The salsa is served warm which I really, really liked. It was flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. The guacamole was so good also. The meat, all of the meat we ordered was tender and flavorful. We all shared parts of our meals. For the queso fundido, you can have chorizo, mushrooms or just simply the queso by itself. We chose the chorizo and it was tender and had the best of flavor. Wonderful. I've been back to this place 2 more times now. Honestly I really just like having the salsa and guacamole, it's so darn good, though if I am being truthful, if someone offers me a piece of meat from their meal, I never turn it down. I believe this restaurant has ties to Asadero, which is also very good and if I'm correct, this family started with No que No in Kent and then moved onto this little hole in the wall off of Military, then Asadero in Kent, Asadero Ballard and now to Gordo's here in Seattle. If I am correct, my family and I have followed this family with their restaurants and have enjoyed every visit that we have had. I will also say that the friendliness is very evident here, from the people greeting you, the people serving you and even from the people who stop what they are doing in the kitchen to respond and say hello. Please give this place a chance. To me it's simply good food, meat, tortillas, guac and salsa. What more do you need? read more

After seeing Gordo steak on TikTok, we decided to give it a try. Service was great and the bartender was really nice and really attentive to our needs. The food was delicious and I honestly thought that $20 guacamole was kind of overpriced, but it lasted the entire meal and then they replaced the tostadas if we wanted more. It was kinda salty but still good. Steak itself was really really good and I loved the quesadilla on the side. They also had a Molcajete salsa on the side of the steak that was super super yummy. read more

We had a wonderful first experience at Gordo Steak and will definitely be coming back! We had high expectations and they were easily met. First, I appreciated that they honored our online check-in and had a table ready for us as soon as we arrived. Second, Judith was our server and she was fantastic, providing excellent customer service and a great attitude. FInally and most importantly, the food was excellent. We started with the guacamole, which was delicious and very good-sized. I had the picanha steak, which was extremely flavorful. My wife had the arrachera, which was amazingly soft. Very good-sized portions on both and we had plenty of arrachera to take as leftovers. Nice unexpected touches were the small complimentary salad before the steaks and quesadilla on the side with the steaks. We appreciated that they make the tortillas in -house (you can watch). The only disappointment was just how small my drink from the bebidas pequenas actually was, despite $15. I might suggest considering adding horchata and/or aguas frescas as add'l drink options. But, overall, a terrific date night and we'll be back soon. read more

The environment was very smoky and made it hard to have a good time. the food overall was okay, some dishes i would add some more seasoning.

Amazing service , great ambience the freshest carne asada house , I recommend the ribeye asada and the tacos gordito prime .

The food was really good, the service was not the best. The hostess was a little rude to my friends as they arrived. Suggest their employees work on giving a better service. read more
