Ok so I looked this place up here in Yelp and I don't feel that the reviews pay homage to the actual historic place we have here at home. When I walk up to the place, I'm immediately taken back 35-40 years to the tortillerías I used to visit as a child in Mexico. The smell of freshly cooked tortillas hit you a few yards before getting to the door. Old-school screens on the door and windows allow the rich aroma of tortillas and beans to permeate the surrounding air. The griddles are hot and the long time chefs are busy cooking tortillas and gorditas for pending orders. The menus is simple and the prices are good. Now, you might be tempted to ask, "what's the big deal, it's the same breakfast as other places?" The big deal is the food is fresh. The bigger deal, is that they ground the maíz and do the nixtamalization process all in-house; making the corn tortillas as fresh and natural as possible. For the lovers of flour tortillas....those are good too. Made fresh when you order; or...if you take flour tortillas home, they hold up well for a couple of days in the fridge. Don't buy too many and not eat them right away, there are no preservatives so they won't be as fluffy or as good as when they are fresh. That is expected from fresh foods like that; the same thing happens with Breadsmith bread, it's great, it just doesn't keep a long time like store bought prepackaged tortillas/bread. Now, El Pocito has been around for over 100 years; even surviving the pandemic. The head chef has been there over 30. The prices are good. The food is good. The process is traditional and the tortillas are great! Let's all visit El Pocito for some tacos and gorditas. Let's keep them around another 100 years. Oh and it's cash only and they are closed Sundays. We'll see you there!

The place is not the best but the food is great! At least for my taste...I bought 1 gordita of picadillo corn, a gordita of beans with cheese and 2 gorditas without filling. The picadillo with potatoes has very good seasoning, the beans were good and the sauces taste very good. Yes they are a little greasy but that's what gives it the good flavor! For a treat from time to time I will definitely come back again! ?

Bought different gorditas here to give them a try and there wasn't really anything exceptional, the filling were just okay in general, the barbacoa was good, both the picadillo and asado de puerco were just okay.The taste of the gorditas is really good, I just think they are a little to thick.The place doesn't look very clean or welcoming.Overall I don't see myself returning to buy their food, perhaps to buy their flour tortillas although I didn't try them, they do look very well made.
