Awesome burritos. The line seems to always be out the door. Says a lot to me as a consumer!

Their taco selections change monthly, and can't be beat. Fresh and delicious. The margaritas are spot on as well.

Best burritos ever. Used to go here regularly when I went to Cal. Glad it’s still open. I come here for lunch whenever I’m visiting town

Great ✌️

Not the best burritos in town but gets pretty close. Definitely very good value, always hits a certain level, never disappoints. They know the grilling game, yet the carne asada needs a bit better cutting & processing before cooking. Their salsa roja sauce is a killer!

Great place for a stop in and grab a burrito. On the healthy tasting side with white rice and plain tasting meat. Very limited seating inside and slight odor of smokey- ness. If it's convenient, go for it otherwise I would go and try a different spot.

In response to some of the other reviews:The pollo asado is the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked. If someone is afraid of, or confused by, blackness on their chicken, may I recommend Chipotle.The moisture in the burritos is part of the excellent cooking. The beans are perfect, every time, and this means that they are perfectly moist; as is the salsa, the meat, and the rice. All perfect, every time. So, yes: you won’t get a super-dry burrito, and yes, this means that if you insist on taking it home, it may degrade slightly in structure (it will be perfect if eaten in-taqueria). My friends and I have been eating these burritos for over twenty years and have enjoyed many a one at home, just a little wetter. It’s worth it to have perfectly cooked ingredients.Atmosphere. Let’s talk about atmosphere. This is one of the last not Starbucked, not third-wave-coffee-housed joints left in the Bay. If you’re uncomfortable with the small space or old-school tables and chairs, then, again, allow me to recommend Chipotle. Or Taco Bell. How about Taco Bell? They keep their revolving-door A.I. market image updated every few months. You shouldn’t be bothered by any authenticity or lasting tradition there.Bottom line: Gordo Taqueria is a Bay original. So many old authentic Bay Area eateries have been bought out, disappeared, or made unrecognizable. Please let Bay Area natives enjoy this one in peace before we flip every last space into a Tesla showroom.I am sorry to hear about poor customer service, if it’s true; and to hear that long-timers have experienced bad food service. I hope that everything is going Ok for the owners and staff during a weird, tough time in the Bay and the world. Customers do have a right to demand civil treatment and continued quality.

I have been coming to this Gordo's for 15 years. Today, I went in and the girl behind the counter was so aggressive, unkind, rude, and just straight-up was taking her bad day out on me. I mean, I was honestly kind of shocked because I have never been treated this way here. I also didn't do anything to warrant this treatment. I mean it seemed like she was mad I ordered food. I ordered a burrito for my friend who was waiting in the car with his baby. I was going to get tacos for myself. But I just told her no. I won't be ordering them. I also told her that she was being aggressive and how not okay it was. I would never tolerate this treatment from anyone. Honestly, it's crazy to me she thinks it's ok to come at people like this. Do people just tolerate this? I would rather just wait til I get home than spend another cent here. I will never come back to this Gordo's again. My mind is still kind of blown that this happened. I mean, all I did was walk in. There are other taquerias and even other Gordo's that won't treat you like this. Low key wish I hadn't even paid for the burrito because nobody should pay for that kind of treatment. I hope she has a better day. Maybe she needs to not be in a front facing role and is better suited to an area where she doesn't need to interact with the public.

The incredible shrinking burrito for twelve bucks! The gordos on Solano is so much better. Couldn't even see any sour cream. Guacamole was in one end of burrito only. Looked like maybe a teaspoon. Very little meat and salsa in burrito. Beans and rice mostly. Lol. Won't be back here again.
