Gorditos

There's almost always a line out the door, for excellent reason. Huge tasty cheap portions! I think I once managed to eat an entire burrito in one sitting, but usually it takes more like 3 sessions. I wouldn't call it authentic, but with food this tasty, who cares? more

I drive 20 minutes to have a burrito here, enough said. I've been going here ever since my Dad discovered it on one of his driving routes. He came so much, they had a 'special' named after him. I tell all my friends, if they want good mexican, go here. The line up to the counter always moves fast and there is always plenty of seating. One of their extra large burritos will last those with the heartiest appetite two days. OH MAN! This place is good. Very friendly staff. Great beer. Great salsa bar. Get a large chicken burrito wet and spicy- that is the best. It's tons of food, but they don't use a lard. I think that is what they mean by "healthy." Looks like a hole in the wall, but don't pass it by!!!! more

Gordito's has been consistently great - the food is generous, cheap, tasty - the salsa is great - the music is loud & invigorating. The owners remember you and it's fun to watch the kids grow in the photos hanging above the front counter (the oldest one literally grew up before my eyes). It's the kind of place you can go with a big group of friends, or by yourself, and feel just as comfortable either way. In the summer there's a little patio outside as well. The line can look daunting when it winds out the door and around the corner, but it moves quickly and the food arrives soon after you order. It's a great way to feel part of a community, even if you don't know the people sitting next to you. more

Gorditos is an oasis for burrito or taco loving people with light wallets. Get great healthy food for cheap, cheap prices. There are plentiful options for vegans and vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I especially recommend the veggie veggie burrito. It is huge and it is delicious. The Gordito’s Grande burrito is the largest food item I have ever seen in my life. Enough to feed three, for the price of feeding one. more

Great food at this casual Greenwood Mexican restaurant. People line up literally out the door to order up huge burittos and other wonderful dishes at incredible prices. Luckily, the line goes fast and they really get the orders taken quickly. While waiting in line, you can observe the open kitchen. You have to find your own place to sit and hope it's a good table. Amid all the crowds and confusion, this is a fun place to go with great food. more

You will usually find a line outside Gorditos for good reason. They serve large tasty authentic Mexican burritos. Two people can easily share one of their low-priced burritos. The atmosphere is very unique and very Mexican-like. The bathrooms aren't the nicest and the outdoor furniture could use some work. Parking is a pain - you are probably better off parking further away. For some reason, the food tastes much better when it is hot than as left-overs (compared to most Mexican places). more

Yay for Gorditos! Everytime I go there, I'm extremely satisfied with a full belly and plenty of leftovers. The ingredients are always fresh and tasty, and the servings are insanely huge! The selection of meals on their menu is great for anyone with a picky appetite and their complimentary salsa bar can't be missed. It gets pretty loud and bustling sometimes, but it's still a great place to eat if you don't mind the loud music and boisterous crowd. Grab a beer and pull up a burrito, this place can't be beat. more

Come to Gordito's hungry, because they've got the biggest portions (for the cheapest prices) I've seen in Seattle. This is fast-food Mexican done with good, fresh ingredients and turned out in a noisy open kitchen with an incredible level of heat and activity, right behind the cash register. The burritos are gigantic and the tacos and quesadillas similarly sized. Everything's cheap, ranging from $3 (for tacos) to $6 or so (for a "wet" burrito). The meat is occasionally of low quality, gristly or tough, but it's always well done. The beans, rice and guacamole are good. And the salsas at the salsa bar are worth checking out -- they run a nice gamut of heat and flavor. This is a great place to go for a lot of food, or a lot of leftovers. more

Gordito's is known around Seattle for making some of the largest Burrito's on the planet, for a cheap price. Most places would have to sacrifice quality to put out such a large cheap product. This is not true of Gordito's. The Grande Burrito is delicious and depending on how hungry you are, can feed you for two or three days. Next time you want a burrito, don't run for the border, stop at Gordito's. more

Welcome to the best Mexican restaurant in Seattle. Large portions of authentic food, numerous salsa and food selections, the cheap prices, and the atmosphere that makes you think you have just stepped into a restaurant in Encinada, Mexico. There is no bar, but they do serve at least two different types of beer. more

I really don’t know how healthy the food is. It is, after all, Mexican food, and quite a bit of cheese is involved. More questionably, the portions are large enough that eating a dish in its entirety might well blow your stomach apart. Finally, and especially in light of the portion size, the prices are so low as to suggest something sinister. With that said, I know the ingredients are mighty fresh—because everything is cooked (had you the patience to not take chips and deliciously warmed salsa to a table) in front of your eyes. Colorful and fraying donkey figurines mark your table so that the food can be delivered posthaste. The one obstacle is, of course, its popularity. The soon-to-open Queen Anne location might alleviate some of the wait, as I can easily imaging people making the drive from queen anne, magnolia, or parts further south. If not, the lines often stretch out the door. You can, of course, call ahead and take your food home. This is an option which apparently allows you to skirt the formed line and negotiate a purchase promptly, though I’m not sure how I feel about it. In doing so, however, you lose the precious juices. The food is juicy. Good-juicy. And I haven’t been able to avoid losing a pool of juices escaping the Styrofoam container. That’s a shame, because the juice belongs in the food. This is where it remains if you stick it out. Or go earlier in the day. But, go. more

This is the best Mexican food in town. It is cheap and you really get more than you pay for. It is family owned an run and you will always leave full. Your food will almost never take more than ten minutes to arrive to your table. Take out is available as well. more

We took our parents here last time they came to Seattle and now they're looking for excuses to get back up here to go to Gorditos! The burritos are delicious and HUGE!!! One burrito can feed two, with leftovers for the next day. The atmosphere is festive and the staff is helpful. They're tie-died shirts make them easy to identify. I highly recommend this place for anyone who likes Mexican food. more

Gorditos is a spectacular Mexican restaurant that sells plenty of delicious looking meat dishes, but also has a unique option for vegetarians (like me) that is excellent: a really really good tofu burrito. Inside the burrito is tofu chunks that have been grilled with onions and bell peppers, whole beans, other good stuff, and then if you order it wet, it gets a nice layer of cheese and salsa and then put under a broiler until it browns and bubbles. There is a salsa bar at Gorditos with a really delicious selection of home made salsas that are can slather onto your meal. The tofu burrito is not some lame vegetarian meat-burrito substitute, it shines on its own and is a super variation from the typical cheese/refried bean vegetarian options available at many mexican restaurants. more

This is definitely the place to go if you love mexican food but want to try and be healthy. The food is delicious and portions are so huge that it usually provides two meals (unless you are famished!!!). There is nothin that I do not like about this place!! It is always busy (some might think that this is a draw-back, but I think it is a great atmosphere). The food is consistently good. more

That's right. There's pictures to prove it. The size...of a baby. The Super. I'm too afraid to try it. But their other stuff is amazing. I don't know why they consider it healthy per say, considering it gives my digestive system a work out everytime I go. Totally worth it, of course. Good Salsa, good wet burritos. Their sodas have the good kind of ice that look like little pellets. Mmmm, pellet ice. They're super nice and give you little pinata looking donkeys with fun Mexican names to mark your table. I believe they're closed on Tuesdays. more

As an absolute connoisseur of Mexican food, I have to say hands down that this is the best place to get a burrito in the entire Puget Sound area. An added bonus is how cheap the food is! My favorite, as a vegetarian, is the tofu burrito which has sauteed veggies and tofu along with the regular burrito fixin's for $5!!! And, the burritos, even regular sized, are HUGE. The downside is the often long lines but the upside is the chips & salsa you can snack on while you wait for your order. more

Gorditos is an inexpensive healthy Mexican place to eat. I recently went with my Fiance, ordered Chicken casedia( 5 bucks).. it was so Huge we both were able to share it and we walked away full. They serve you free Nacho chips with their own slightly spicy Salsa while you wait. The atmosphere is very warm with upbeat Spanish Music in the Background. You can eat outside as well. I would recommend ordering their soup of the day, the Chicken Pozole is a rich , hearty soup, alone as a meal in itself. You have to check this place out!!! more

When you see their chicken wet burrito, you'd think "you must be kidding!" Yes, it's HUGE. not only that, it's tasty and healthy. What else would you want for Mexican food? It's a family owned Mexican joint and there is the lines foamed out on the sidewalk around supper time almost every evening. If I was only visiting from Tokyo, I need two other girls to finish one dish here. Seriously. more
