“ Love their Gorditas they are well famous for these even though there other amazing dishes but their Gorditas mmmmm also their famous hibiscus Agua Fresca ”
“ If you eat here don’t come here trying to find a healthy option. The food here is incredibly delicious. The gorditas are so good. Everything is made with lard so the flavor is perfect. The chilaquiles are so authentic that it makes you want more. Definitely recommend this place for real authentic Mex food. ”
“ We drive all the way from LB to eat the roja y verde gorditas. Sure, the service sometimes could use improvement but you have to understand they are feeding hundreds and like anyone one would get flustered dealing with all that. Overall, the service is fast and the gorditas are bomb. Whatever they are doing don't change it. ”
“ Just had their chili verde gordita. Wow, wow, wow! Delicious. Also good social distancing here. Update- Been back many, many times. Love this place. ”
“ My mom brought us here every time she had the chance too so we can eat gorditas de carnitas. Which is my to go to dish from here. The salsa isn’t spicy at all... but I would recommend getting jalapenos but they do charge 0.75 or probably a 1 (my mom says back in the day they used to give them out but people wouldn’t eat them and it was a waste) my son had tacos de asada and he ate it all. Obviously they have other dishes. But my family has always gone for the gorditas only. Oh and if you bring your toddler I would recommend bringing your stroller to sit them so they can eat. (Obviously a small stroller) They don’t have child seats. If you do bring in your stroller sit all the way in the back where no one will be asking you constantly to move so they can get through. 10/10 Highly Recommend This Place! P.S you can pay with tap. So if you have a iPhone and you forget your wallet at home (like I did ) you can pay with your phone (Tap). EDIT: they actually do have child seats. ”
