Gordo’s Mexican Food

This use to be my favorite Mexican place to eat but has gone downhill lately. Their breakfast burritos were huge when they first opened up. Now you barely get any filling inside at all. They are becoming so cheap in what they give you. Food does not taste as good as in the past. I will be looking for a new place for my Mexican foo. They will not stay in place long with the new owners.

This place has gone down hill fast. We go here almost weekly. A few Saturday’s ago I pulled up and could not get anyone to answer drive thru com. So I pulled forward and could see some guys in there but would not acknowledge me. Finally flagged down a dude who came to window obviously fired up and Said the owners partner or brother just came in and was totally racist to all he workers and yelled at them. «Everyone is walking out». They were all younger Hispanic men. I literally caught them in the middle of all quitting. I calmed the guy down and told him I was sorry for what happened. Not acceptable. He was cool and still filled my order. But I have been back four times and each time the wait and communication has gotten worse. People have been very polite but today they didn’t have sausage and the wait was as usual crazy long. The guy taking order was very nice but couldn’t take the order without us repeating several times. Bummer. Ticked off the employees were treated poorly. Wish this place would get it together. Cannot recommend right now. Hit and miss and expect a long wait. BTW we only get the sausage breakfast burro.

I was surprised to see this place is being remodeled, nice floors and tables… more light! The food was waaaay better! New manager, she’s so sweet and made sure everything was good, and the cook, Norma is awesome! The salsas I used to hate here they we’re watered down and bland, NOW THEY ARE GOOD!!! and this is coming from one Mexican girl who loves and knows authentic Mexican food! ;) will be back again!

Terrible! 30 min. wait to start. Didn’t give us our drinks. After 25 min. I asked for our cups. Dr Pepper was .not sure what it was. The root beer was out of syrup. Food came and it was cold. The Gordo had something. .not fat consistency. .not sure what it was, so I quit eating. The kids meal was supposed to come with rice and beans. She said they were really behind, so my son didn’t get. We watched 1 guy walk out without his food because it took so long. Mark it… this place will close. 1 star is too much!

Yikes! Sat in drive thru for 25 mins. The lady asked me three separate times what my order was… I was the only one in drive thru. I only ordered tostadas… didn’t think those were very difficult. This place is a joke. Not coming back… but wish them luck in business.

Great place good people, was helped by a nice lady on her first day named bryce i think, good place definitely recommend

Great burritos and always a friendly staff. We love stopping here for great food! Make sure to try the rolled tacos too.

My family and I love this place! They’re Ava chicken burritos are amazing! It’s also one of our favorite places to get breakfast burritos, the steak, egg, and potato is so yummy!

We ate here about a year ago and it was wonderful. I went again yesterday, and it was absolutely horrible! The wait just to order was nearly 10 minutes. There was just one car ahead of us, and we waited another 15 minutes for our food. The tortillas used for the fish tacos were cold, and hard, they hadn’t been heated. The rolled tacos were wrapped in a way that all the cheese melted to the paper, and the meat was tasteless. We won’t be back!

This place used to be great but the new owners are running it into the ground. Too bad.

Quite possibly the saddest excuse for fish in a fish taco i have ever seen. Will never be back.

This was my first visit here. Its close to where I live. I was hoping to like this place because there aren’t many mexican food places around. Went thru the drive through. No one was in line before or after me. I got my «warm» horchata in a cup. No ice. It wasn’t even slightly cool. I had to ask for a cup of ice. The horchata tasted nothing like horchata should taste. It was awful. I got my drink right away but the food took forever. I thought oh good itll be fresh. Wrong. food was bareky warm. It tasted just ok. Nothing special. No smiles at the window. Just handed me the food and closed the window. I still needed napkins and a fork. I wont be returning. Gordos

My husband was wanting a breakfast burrito and he had recalled getting them from here a year ago. I ran over and picked up 3 of them up.
We we got home and started eating them they tasted awful. The eggs and meat tasted like yesterday’s leftovers. No taste to the burrito and the salsas were just as bland. For over $ 16 for three of them I will make my own next time.
Tried this place once, now twice and won’t go back a third time.

Great place to grab dinner for the family. My son had chicken hard shell tacos and he loved them! I had the Ava and it was unbelievably delicious. It was definitely worth the trip for this alone! We called our order in and it was hot and ready when we pulled up to the drive thru. Huge portions and reasonable prices. We will be making this a regular stop for dining out nights.

Best California burrito in the game!!! Seriously some fine Mexican food, and it’s always friendly in here.

Ok ok. I just ate here ava ten mins ago I didn’t have this app. This is the worst Mexican food in all of the world. It tasted like cat and was poorly made. I just down loaded this app to tell you this is the worst good in the word. The gir taking orders got a big booty so they get one star.

This place is terrible… We ordered two bean and cheese burritos, seemingly an easy order for a Mexican food place, and what we got we two tortillas with a sprinkle of beans and even less cheese. The little amount of beans that were in the tortillas were under cooked and honestly not that good. The drive thru menu does not light up at night, so it’s also hard to see to even place an order, and the employees look almost annoyed that you are there when you pull up. I really wanted to like this place since it’s close to our house, but I will never eat here again.

My wife drove up today and no one was attending the drive through. She finally went in and everyone was in the back of the restaurant and she had to get their attention. She ordered the two taco meal. There was hardly a teaspoon’s worth of meat in both of them. I think there’s new management or extreme lack thereof. See the pic to believe.

this place should be renamed flacos.
I’ve stopped in a few times for street tacos.
This place started sucking worse and worse.
Portions got smaller each visit. Im trying to get gordo pronto. got tired of the place and never returned.
found a place called polibertos on baseline in tempe. i can get twice the food for the same price as gordos.
i hope the owner sees this and tries polibertos. adiós!

I’m really upset that I am writing this updated review, but I know I have to do it. Gordo’s has gone downhill, people.
The food here that used to always be stellar for me is now extremely inconsistent. On the occasions I have received gross food, it honestly has been really bad. Their enchilada sauce used to be spectacular all the time (perfect consistency, brilliant amount of spiciness). But recently, I was receiving a thin, gross, tasteless sauce every other time I ordered the enchiladas. The last meal I had here, I ordered a vegetarian burrito, chimi style. They neglected to include the guacamole with my burrito. That’s my favorite part of the vegetarian burrito! [Sometimes when I order it chimi style, they plop the guacamole on top after the burrito is fried. When it wasn’t on top, I figured the guac must be inside — wrong!] Also — and this part really disgusted me – I noticed that my chimi had seven super-​duper, fried-​beyond-​belief French fries stuck to the bottom of it.
My husband used to be a huge fan of Gordo’s crunchy tacos. The last few times he has ordered them, the chicken has not tasted right and the taco shells were very mushy.
I guess we kept giving Gordo’s chances since we were big cheerleaders for this place from the get-​go and was hoping the bad experiences we had here we just flukes. Doesn’t seem like it anymore.
Also, they recently changed their menu and hiked up their prices. Not cool. So long, Gordo’s, you’ve lost your Duke & Duchess of check ins.
