It used to be great here.I've been coming here for 25 plus years always had great service. Always had great food and always look forward to visiting the Albany location. When I was in town, designate my parents this last time. Was different? The guy making the food had no personality. Didn't really say much. Then, when I asked 4A burrito with just chicken and rice, he gave me a ton of rice, hardly any chicken. It was literally one and a half scoops of chicken. And I remember from coming here so many times normally it's 2 and a 1/2 heaping scoops of chicken, but this time it wasn't. So then I ordered a second burrito, the same way just to see if you would do the same thing to that burrito. And he did even less, he acted as if he was putting a heaping scoop in, but then he would at the last second dunk, most of it out. And then put it on the burrito, so at that point I said something to the lady at the. Register like Hey, can I get some extra chicken on my burrito? And she then spoke to the man, making it and looked at me and said, you want extra chicken? And I was like, no I want the chicken that I should have gotten originally. On the first burrito and on the second burrito, there's hardly anything in there. And you're charging me the same thing. So can I get what I paid for they argued with me for a minute? Finally, I just said, screw it. Whatever and then they screwed up. My girl's burrito right after that. When she didn't want rice, they put rice. She was asking for sour cream. They didn't put sour cream, and then they tried charging us for the sour cream.After it was like $57.00 for 3 burritos, I'll rip off if you ask me and the chicken was not very moist, like. It usually is kind of really disappointed in the place. It's went downhill in the last couple years. Sad to say I love this place. I would get 8 burritos when I visit my parents.Basically one burrito a day and sometimes I would get a couple to go on the road back up to washington, but now i'm afraid i'm not going to do that because of this one experience

Gordo's has some of the best burritos ive ever had! I usually order a bean and cheese & rice super burrito with 3 slabs of cheese with pinto beans. The steamed tortilla wraps it all together literally and figuratively; further more they are a efficient quality food making machine and usually have 2 or 3 people in front two of them making the food and 2 in the back helping clean and restock as well as helping generally around the shop. I Highly recommend this Gordo's to everyone.

This is the go to place for great Mexican food. Everything made fresh to order. And awesome flavors. Love their green hot sauce! Small little place with only a few seats, but most people order to go anyway.

My daughter and I's favorite burrito spot! The one on college always has fresh and hot ingredients. Ordered the grilled chicken on a spinach tortilla. My faMy daughter ordered the steak on a regular flour tortilla. There is just something about their rice, black bean, and cheese combination that is unmatched at any other local Mexican restaurant that sets them apart. I've been going here since the 90's and will continue to frequent both East Bay locations...

There’s a few hating guys in there they didn’t want to give me spicier hot sauce they had there but the nice older lady preparing my burrito she didn’t say much but got some from the back and put some. 2 guys started trippin on her but she continued working.

The quesadilla is possibly the worst quesadilla I have ever had. With barely any cheese and the quesadilla literally fell apart instantly. I was forced to eat it like a taco instead of a quesadilla, this was a horrible experience. The chicken was good but I would only order burritos from Gordos

The food and the vibe scream Mission street. The super burrito is absolutely massive, and I regret nothing. The meats are tender and flavorful. The rice, beans, guac, and crema all dance together in your mouth. The horchata is a bit pricey, but worth the expense for the complete experience. It was a pleasure not just to eat here, but to remember life in the city as a toddler.
