I rarely would give a one star review, but nothing about this place would make me want to eat there again. The fajitas were incredibly bland and overcooked. There were no limes and the waters didn't get to the table until we were almost done eating, and we were the only people eating there. The salsas were decent, but the food had almost zero flavor on its own. I'm shocked by how many good reviews this place has. No one in my group thought their food was even passable.

In the late 80s I was in Central America and between missions I found myself at a taco stand in a small beach town near Coyolito. There I had simple but perfect asada tacos and a cold beer that I have been chasing to re create for decades. Nothing fancy, just honest asada with hand pressed tortillas and a cold brew. When I returned home, searched every Hispanic restaurant menu I came across for over twenty years and tried in vain to capture that meal moment. That was until Gordi's opened their doors. Their carne asada tacos were like finding a Polaroid of an old friend you thought you lost. Simply and honestly prepared and served in fresh tortillas that didn't exist until you ordered them, splashed with lime and served with a cold beer and a "you're a local" smile. If you are looking for a polished chain restaurant that has glossy menus that are the same in all 100 locations, this place probably isn't for you. But if you look past the simplicity to the years of family tradition in every dish, it really won't bother you that they don't serve fishbowl margaritas filled with cheap tequila or put a sombrero on your head and sing to you on your birthday while clapping and giving you a churro with a sparkler on top. You will be eating like your their family, a family that is deeply connected with the Del Norte community and cares about things that matter. And you just can't get that experience from a polished franchise.

We finally caught this place while it was open! It's quite unassuming, no formal signage as far as we could see. We were recommended this place when we moved here but kept missing its hours. I think we figured it out by the specials posted next to the menu, Tuesdays-Saturdays? These are homemade tortillas served and the recipes look and taste authentic Mexican! When you come in you place the order at the counter then if you are eating in just take a seat and they will serve you. If to-go then pick up the order at the counter. You can even call the order in earlier. I wish they were a bit more coordinated on information of hours, it would make it easier to plan!

Disappointed, it was closed on a Saturday at 11 am. We were so hungry we waited for 15 minutes and they didn't open. While we were there waiting 3 more cars stopped to check this place out because of the awesome reviews we read. We all went to Cazadores instead. Hopefully, they will be open the next time.

This is a small restaurant in an old building. This isn't a place you go for fancy tables and atmosphere.The menu is limited, but everything I have eaten here has been good.
I have found my new FAVORITE place to eat. Everything is fresh and you can taste the difference. Best tacos I've had in a long time.

The chili Verde burrito (Thursday special) was very good! The sauce and pork were great! Staff was very nice!

I was really excited to try this place because I heard so many great things but I was so disappointed. The ladies there were super nice. I ordered The Chile relleno and it was old and made from the day before and the steak fajitas were over cooked and super dry. The corn tortillas was not cooked, tasted like they were just warmed up out of the bag. All in all, I would never go back.

One of the best Mexican food places in the area. Been coming here for years with no issues. Never had food poisoning, customer service is always as it should be, and the food makes this little place worth the stop alone. If you haven't given Gordi Bro's your business, you're not taking care of your money, or your tummy, properly.
Simply perfect.
