Gordo Taqueria

Carnitas Burrito Supreme …
… that is all you need to know when you go there to eat! Don’t waste your time reading the menu! Just asked for Carnitas Burrito, pick your favorite bean, and whatever it is you like to add, and maker sure … here is the trick, so pay attention! … make sure to ask them to put some of the crunchy carnitas in there for you too! You will not regret it!

I ordered 2 Gordo plates to go and 2 bags of chips. I noticed the gal who ordered ahead of me got 4 flour tortillas with her one Gordo plate. So I assumed I would get 8 tortillas. To my dismay, I got none!
Unfortunately I didn’t check before going home, I trusted the bagger: cashier as I’ve seen him there many times.
The carnitas is great and barbecue chicken, everything seems fresh. Perhaps the guy making my plates was annoyed when I asked for refried beans rather than the pintos he stuck on my order? He never asked what I preferred! Well, I will still eat here once in a while but will check my bags next time. So my rating is one star lower than I would have given.

Most frustrating quesadilla I’ve ever eaten.
It was not even wrapped tightly at all so when I got home and tried to bite it it fell apart and basically I had to use a fork to eat carne asada and sour cream mush.
I think this place is just convenient but not really good quality because the quesadilla was not flavorful at all.
I’ll stick to El Farolito and Pancho Villa from now on.

No flavor, basic, but definitely more of a «you eat what you pay for.»

Gordo’s is just a convenient go to for me if I want a burrito that is not from Taco Bell and I can’t go out to the Mission for one. I always get the chile verde with spicy salsa, sour cream and jalapenos added inside. I would say that the one on Clement St does not run out of the chile verde as often as the one on Geary.

Gordos is a burrito place like a «rebound booty call» after a long term relationship. Not really good, but its there, and it kinda does the job… and later you feel kinda gross.
Too bad mission is too far from the richmond district.

Not bad but not great. Sour cream and guacamole cost extra and not included in the super burrito which is minus. Burrito is made right in front of your like chipotle which I like because you can make sure it’s made correctly. Place is super small so don’t expect to be able to eat inside.

This location is as good as any other Gordo’s, and usually not too difficult to park. Sometimes there are lines at very random times, but they usually do an efficient job of adding another person for food prep, and things generally move along well. As with all Gordo’s– my call is the carnitas. All of their offerings are good or better, but carnitas if the ‘most exceptional’ from my perspective. I’ll be back frequently.

Carnitas.
Not a bad place
If you’re in the neighborhood. To Go food.

A friend brought me here because we were both craving good Mexican food. But she said the thing to get is the carnitas. She was so right on!!! Asked the man behind the counter in Spanish if I could try a little spoonful. Wow so tender and delicious. Melts in your mouth!
My friend got the burrito but since I’m low carbing, I decided to just get a container of carnitas and some guacamole. I now have to go at least once a week it’s that good!
I hope to try the burritos or tacos at some point because everything looks delicious.

Gordos is an abomination.
Totally flavorless. Everything tastes boring and bland.
Sometimes the paper wrapping gets folded into your taco, but you don’t notice because it tastes the same.
Solidly mediocre. I’ve eaten here maybe half a dozen times, and I’m always disappointed in myself for returning. But it is the only place for tacos in the Richmond and it’s just so convenient! Low blood sugar makes bad decisions.
I think they charge for each additional ingredient beyond the filling listed on the menu. My two tacos came out to $ 8. They’re supposed to be $ 2 and change each. Once you see your sad rice tacos, garnished with a few strings of carnitas and some limp, soggy pico, you can’t fight the urge to hide them beneath guacamole and sour cream. Good up-​sell tactic, Gordos.
Positives: while not good, the food is edible, and and you can wash them down with Jarritos. And the kitchen staff is entertainingly rude.

My go-​to in the neighborhood since I can walk here from my apt. I had originally gone to the one back home in the east bay in Berkeley so it was comforting to see one so close to me. I always get a super carne asada burrito with everything, extra salsa, and a side of chips and guac. Their guac is incredible. Works every time.

Okay food, borderline service, no atmospherics. My backup plan when all other Mexican restaurants are closed.
I have eaten at their other locations too and all are about the same.

Ok, I’m from San Diego, and i know my Mexican food partly because i am one, not food, unless you travel in a certain circle in which case please don’t follow me, anyways. … really deliciously made carnitas in what they call a quesadilla prepared like a goddammed burrito!
God bless you, even though I’m atheist, seriously shit is DELISH YO!!!

Amazing for people who have only had Taco Bell.
Above average for people who like Chipotle.
Ok for people who like roach coaches.

Stopped by and got the carnitas quesadilla with guacamole. YUM.
Parking sucked and the spot was busy!

I just don’t love gordo’s. The price is good but the food isn’t my favorite. I don’t really like the rice they use, and the cheese isn’t visible where the display of food is so I forgot to include it! I also didn’t think the quality of meat was amazing.
It’s easy and fast so if you are looking for that, then go for it. But I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here.

FACT: THEIR BURRITOS SUCK!
Out of all burritos I’ve tasted (approximately over 1,000 burritos nationwide) this place is the worst. Far worse than a microwaveable burrito since you would expect a microwaveable burrito to taste like gargoyle balls. But this place, your expectations are completely shattered by how much you pay and how much cardboard-​like their food tastes.
If I made a burrito, which I suck at cooking, their burrito would STILL taste like cockroach piss compared to mine.
I can’t stop saying how much this place sucks. If this place can still have customers, then time for me to start my own burrito place!

I actually prefer the Gordos on Clement Street, but this location has the all meat burrito! And I love variety! Typically the roommate gets the Carnitas super burrito with refried beans while I get All meat super burrito.
Service here is inconsistent. Sometimes I get someone that’s super helpful and accommodating, while other times, I get someone who seems to be grudgingly making my burrito. I normally get no beans, no rice and no sour cream, so at times I get a weird look for ordering a super burrito. But it’s my burrito! I can do what I want!
One time, I ordered the all meat burrito and was told that meant I get all of one meat and nothing else on the burrito. Why does it cost more than a normal burrito then?! I tried correcting him and telling him that meant I get all the meats avail, but there are no descriptions on the menu, so it was a he said, she said kind of situation. Instead of arguing, I just said okay since there was a line behind me. So apparently, I paid more for an all meat burrito cuz it had more meat and nothing else. It didn’t make sense, but whatever, I had no choice but to let it go.
When I can get an actual all meat burrito, I enjoy their offerings. Otherwise, I’ll swing by the Clement Street location instead.

My tummy was rumbling, Jeremy P was about to curl up and die on the sidewalk. Brew Fest, too much Tequila, and a serious lack of sleep were getting the best of us. We needed a burrito, STAT.
As we made our way to Blarney Stone to watch a meaningless preseason loss, we stopped off in Gordo’s to replenish ourselves. I’ve had Gordo’s plenty of times, and am always moderately satisfied with it. I tried to Chili Verde Super Burrito yesterday (around $ 7.50) and had the same feeling as I’ve always had about Gordo’s: it’s mediocre, but edible.
No hot suace on the tables, or really anywhere. Their green housemade «hot sauce» is very mild and lacks flavor, kind of like the Chili Verde. My mom used to make this dish before her vegan days, and hers was always amazing: spicy, tender, made-​by-​mom-​goodness in each bite. I would give my mom’s Chili Verde 5 Stars, hands down. But Gordo’s, methinks not. But it was filling, and cheap, and sustained me for the rest of the afternoon. The guys who work there either hate me, or hate their job, or a mix of the two. Gordo’s is what I expect Mexican food to taste like from the Richmond. Nuff said.
