Glowing reviews from devoted fans, allusions that shrimp burritos were the best in town, that they could do no wrong, etc etc. Curiosity and the chance of finding the one Mexican place to outdo the rest made my lovely companion and not so lovely me drive to Gordo Burrito. First impressions at around 12:30 PM: busy (which is always a good thing) patrons coming and going, a nice outfit of what appeared an all women crew in constant preparation, and knowing that when it comes to good food there are no barriers I ordered from a congenial attendant named Jose the Shrimp Burrito for around $14. Tried to encourage them to make it count, meaning pretty darn good! Even went as far to insinuate I came from headquarters, whatever the heck that meant. Turns out there is a convenience store right beside Gordo. Not a bad option.
Burrito arrived wrapped in aluminum foil, not an impressive sight in size. One half went to the beauty, gave her the smallest of the two, the other for the beast not much bigger. Removed the wrapping, looked inside and did not see but one or two shrimp, certainly not whole ones. The bulk of this relatively small burrito was no surprise: rice and refried beans, about 94% of it.
This is the sad reality in the world of burritos making, load it with everything but almost never with the main star.
My small half tasted good, and apparently my companion’s also did, as she decimated her half rapidly. Their green salsa and fresh diced cucumbers helped.
Yes, prices have gone up, I get that but the best in Chico? No way, Jose. Edible, at $7 a small half you bet your hot jalapeños! 3.8 Stars.

I had the Asada Fries and they were great. Loved the taste and sauces. The worker at the counter was cool too. Only thing I didn’t like was the atmosphere. Kinda dark and not very colorful. Very good food though.

This taqueria is attached to a little market. There is a simple outside patio for seating. The food was excellent but most impressive was the friendliness and service of the staff.
My dog and I stopped in for a quick lunch before a long drive. I ordered simple taco meat for my dog. They made a special order just for her and it was far more than just two tacos. She is a Great Dane so she enjoyed all of it.
Thank you, Gordo Burrito.

Beautiful little restaurant!! I was expecting mediocre food, but the kitchen crew did an outstanding job! The food was flavorful, I ordered a torta, and the bread was soft but crisp at the edges, with soft meat (surprisingly with NO NERVES) and their salsas and complementary salsa table just hit the spot.
The only thing is that it is situated next to a gasoline station, so there’s like 7 parking spots total, otherwise there is free street parking. (There should always be one or two spots open as most clients order to-go)

Go for the food, not the ambiance. Don’t let the gas station discourage you from going to get a delicious burrito. They do not sell drinks, but you can go next door and get your beverage and bring it in if you are going to eat in the building. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. A bonus was the cook singing

Love the little salad bad where you can always go and pick up your own cucumber slices, jalapeños, radishes, green or red salsa, and this pico de gallo type thing 🙂
This is their awesome nachos! I like to order my chips on the side, and nacho cheese on the side too or no nacho cheese at all.

Taco Tuesday is getting progressively harder to review, due to not too many establishments left to rate. So, this time I went to Gordo Burrito in search of tacos I hadn’t eaten. Chalk this up to another learning experience. Normally I only try street tacos, but they had a special on hard shell (3 for $6) with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and choice of meat (carne asada). I then got 2 street tacos ($1.75 ea), both carne asada, extra spicy ( ). To say the meat was bland is an understatement… it had ZERO flavor with the exception of the lard it must’ve been sitting in. Very little onion, mostly cilantro, no lime…and mild at BEST for claiming spicy. The hard shell tacos were overflowing with lettuce, hardly any tomato, a large amount of the sour cream, lemon wedge, and again, NOT spicy. The shells were crisp, but fell apart with the 1st bite. It’s getting to the point I may have to try dine-in restaurants for my Taco experiences, but I will NOT return here unless I’m high jacked. I’m getting to old to eat at sub-par food trucks. Read my other reviews…PLENTY of stellar food trucks in town, just not this one.

Gordo Burrito is often described as a hole-in-the-wall, but therein lies much of its appeal.
Featuring authentic Mexican cuisine from the Mexican state of Sinaloa, Gordo Burrito is a favorite dining destination for hungry travelers who like big flavor, hefty portions, and an all-around low key atmosphere.
Its menu includes traditional favorites like tacos, nachos, fajitas, and burritos. They come with a range of fresh sauces and sides, like salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
The restaurant is conveniently located just off the highway on East 8th Street, making it a great option for those looking for a quick bite before heading off on other adventures.

Super friendly staff, they were actually singing and enjoying themselves at work! The food was so good lots of flavor, not just spicy. I had the crunchy shredded beef tacos 3 for only $7, my friend had a combo and the beans and rice were legit!! Salsa bar had great variety.

This was the best food stop we’ve made on our whole vacation back to San Diego! We’ve been missing authentic Mexican food since we left so I have been dreaming of my first birria tacos and these hit the spot! Plus they were super friendly and fast, and they took care of my picky kids special requests. Thanks guys!!!!
