Gordito's Rust Belt Tacos & Tortas

expensive but good

That's some of the best Mexican food I have eaten anywhere in Indiana. Amazing Esquites, Tortas, and Tacos. I rarely leave reviews, this place earned it.

Gordito's provided great service and really good food to 60+ people at our Goodwill/Republic Services volunteer day. We ordered from the food truck and they came to our event. The crew was pleasant to work with and the price worked well within our ability to serve a larger group. Thank you Gordito's for helping us create a great day!

Kid-friendliness: We had kids at our event who loved tacos for lunch!

Tacos are bland, salsas and guac have little to no flavor. Definitely there are better places to go.

This is 1 of 3 restaurant options at the Sun King Fisher's test kitchen. It was our 1st time trying out the place, which was a little confusing as far as how it's supposed to work (if there were directions, we missed them). We walked in the north door and saw a sea of tables & chairs, with the Sun King bar to the left and counters for the restaurant options on the other side of the room to the south. They have their menu on display overhead and you place your order via the kiosk at the counter. Although I didn't do so, I think you're supposed to enter your phone number at the end of placing your order so that you may get a text when your food order is ready. Failing to do this, I just tried to keep an eye on the space where they seemed to be placing trays of food that customers kept walking up to take to see when our order would be ready. If you want any of Sun King's beverages, you have to claim a seat and a server will take your order, which I didn't realize for a bit as I tried to go directly to the bar initially.All of that aside, here is our scoop on the food:Gordito’s Bread $6 - was basically a grilled cheese. Was good, but not sure we would order it again necessarily. It came with a consummé sauce for dippingNachitos Gorditos $9 - They didn’t skimp on the toppings, although I didn’t notice the bánzogi (refried garbanzo beans) as much as I would have liked due to the variety of other toppings. The smoky drizzle tended to dominate, but we would order this again.Signature Taco $4.25 & Cheesy Fajita Tacos $4.75 - We did 1 of each of these w/ the bánzogi. The taco shell was unique and very good, basicallly a cheesy corn tortilla. We preferred the signature as the fajita veggies didn’t really improve what the Signature already provided.We like to frequent Condado's and Torchy's for their tacos and I would put their signature taco right up there with their selections. The bánzogi is a unique option I hadn't had before and would definitely order again. I would like to try this place again and hopefully it will go a little more smoothly after going through the process once now.

Love when a menu and the food is a little different than the standard offerings. That is the case with the food at Gordito’s – not the standard tacos. Between my wife and I we had the Juicy Brisket Taco, the Juicy Pork Tack and the Taco Borracho. All three were excellent. Served on a cheese flour tortilla that has been toasted and crisped in the oven, it gives the flavor and suppleness of flour (as opposed to corn), but with a crispness added in addition to the unique adobo cheese. Well filled with the listed ingredients and definitely deserving of the designation as “juicy.” We really liked these. The side of guacamole was a bit small and did not stand out at all. The Esquites (Mexican Street Corn) was excellent on the other hand. It did seem a little pricy for the size. The table app ordering was a bit confusing and not at all smooth. I suggest you just go up to the counter and order on their machine instead. And, of course, at this location you have a full selection of Sun King beer to select from. So conclusion – great tacos, good but small sides, confusing app since right there in the location, plenty of beer.

This place is just AMAZING. I had their brisket torta and it was absolutely delicious, it really took me back to México in every bite, the bread is perfect, the combination of flavors are delicious. My husband had a chicken taco and he loved it too. You go to Mexican restaurants and you don’t get actual Mexican food, just the same stuff at every place but Gordito’s is definitely worth to try if you want to taste real Mexican tacos and tortas.

Excellent tacos. Way better than One Trick Pony. Way better than torchy’s. Probably a bit better than the actually Mexican Taco Joint on 96th street. I’m a fan.

Good vibes overall, in a new walkable development with lots of bars, breweries, and restaurants to choose from. Would definitely come back to the area.I had the brisket taco with a side of chips and guacamole. The brisket was great, but I didn’t think it was well balanced as a whole, and the brisket basically was the entire taco. It could have used some additional onions, lettuce, slaw, etc to round it out. The chips were also a bit overcooked.

Get the brisket tacos and tortas! Lota of meat on the tacos and tortas but hard to justify the $16 price for the torta. They are a bit on the pricey side and it’s the only reason why I’m giving it a 4-star.
