Good food, LOTS of it, real cheap
Wednesday, August 17, 2005
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.
