Eating at Gordo’s Taqueria in Albany was way more than I expected. The moment I walked in, I was hit with the aroma of grilled meat in the air. The place is straight business no frills, small, a real hole-in-the-wall spot.
The menu is simple: tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and bowls. And when I tell you Chipotle has nothing on these guys, I mean it. The line is run by four cooks who all look like they could make you the meanest burrito of your life in their sleep.
The meat options are limited, but their specialty is the salsa verde meat which I ordered in a burrito. It was sooo good and flavorful I devoured it instantly. So of course, I had to try their tacos next… and that’s when I got blown away.
They crisp up the corn tortilla, melt cheese onto it, and then layer on a hefty portion of meat. I kid you not they tasted like something my grandma would’ve made. It took me right back to my childhood, to those moments where her cooking made everything feel perfect.
If food can hit you with that kind of nostalgia, you have to try it.
I’ll definitely be coming back.

It used to be great here.I’ve been coming here for 25 plus years always had great service. Always had great food and always look forward to visiting the Albany location. When I was in town, designate my parents this last time. Was different? The guy making the food had no personality. Didn’t really say much. Then, when I asked 4A burrito with just chicken and rice, he gave me a ton of rice, hardly any chicken. It was literally one and a half scoops of chicken. And I remember from coming here so many times normally it’s 2 and a 1/2 heaping scoops of chicken, but this time it wasn’t. So then I ordered a second burrito, the same way just to see if you would do the same thing to that burrito. And he did even less, he acted as if he was putting a heaping scoop in, but then he would at the last second dunk, most of it out. And then put it on the burrito, so at that point I said something to the lady at the. Register like Hey, can I get some extra chicken on my burrito? And she then spoke to the man, making it and looked at me and said, you want extra chicken? And I was like, no I want the chicken that I should have gotten originally. On the first burrito and on the second burrito, there’s hardly anything in there. And you’re charging me the same thing. So can I get what I paid for they argued with me for a minute? Finally, I just said, screw it. Whatever and then they screwed up. My girl’s burrito right after that. When she didn’t want rice, they put rice. She was asking for sour cream. They didn’t put sour cream, and then they tried charging us for the sour cream.After it was like $57.00 for 3 burritos, I’ll rip off if you ask me and the chicken was not very moist, like. It usually is kind of really disappointed in the place. It’s went downhill in the last couple years. Sad to say I love this place. I would get 8 burritos when I visit my parents.Basically one burrito a day and sometimes I would get a couple to go on the road back up to washington, but now i’m afraid i’m not going to do that because of this one experience

My husband doesn’t speak Spanish and his first impression… this place needs to change their name to Flaco’s! (Flaco means skinny Spanish).
I’m Cuban but my family who’s been here since the late 60’s knows plenty about ordering and eating tacos and burritos. I was beyond disappointed in this place. Why are El Cerritans and Albany neighbors recommending this place so highly on Nextdoor? It’s beyond me, perhaps they have never eaten burritos from places we’re accustomed to like El Farolito, La Taqueria, or places like La Cumbre in the San Francisco’s Mission district.
Sad that the uber ordering doesn’t make it easy I can see how gringos could get this all wrong too! I actually had to call the restaurant before placing the order because the uber menu was a hot mess!
Jocelyn told me to order regular burritos then to add on the guacamole, sour cream and cheese. Then, when I called to confirm the order she said I should have just ordered the Super Burritos which is what I had intended to but I couldn’t get rid of pico de gallo in the cart?!!! Frustrating…she was a dear but she even confused me more, and she should have alerted me I had placed the order incorrectly. Oh well! She said “next time order like this…?” ♀️ I ended up paying much more than I needed to.
Ok so enough about the ordeal in ordering let’s get to the the food…
Don’t even think about ordering REGULAR burritos unless you’re a kid or unless you like a flaco burrito . These burritos even with all the add-on’s were tiny! The carnitas burrito was bigger because I ordered extra meat, but the carnitas were like cardboard and so dry we could barely chew them, the burritos all around with all the extra add ons I didn’t need to order were all pretty lifeless, my guess, they were busy!
Tips: DO NOT ORDER ONLINE unless you know
Go into the taqueria and watch them make your burrito, they’re trying to impress you they will be bigger!
Never again gordos, I can’t afford almost $70 for 4 lifeless and skinny burritos. Excuse me but consumers need to know.
I hope they improve on their delivery orders especially. There’s no way they are making burritos like this while you wait.

Ordered take-out. Delicious food. Ready in ten minutes while even they were serving customers who were in line to order their food. Street Parking.

Today, the burrito was actually good compared to other times when it’s just super bland.
However the service is just horrible. All three guys have the longest face ever.They are extremely rude.They act as if we are bothering them.By asking them what we want.
None the less the cashier guy with piercings on his face outright rude and horrible attitude acted as I bothered him by asking for chips. Did not even greet me by saying if I wanted anything, I have to ask for it. He handed me my food without even acknowledged me or saying thank you or anything.

I love my people and love to promotion my cultural food but this place always feels chaotic and like a money making machine. The people waiting for their to go order are crowding up on the cash register and the cashier is not available to talk or help you very much. They charge for every little thing and have no vegetables. This is wild

We walked in the store, floor was soaking wet, Service was extremely apathetic and unhelpful, as well as a little judgmental because we didn’t know what we wanted yet. Given the fact that everything is over priced apart from the regular burrito. That was not good. They do not cook the tortillas, resulting in a sweaty soggy burrito. With a Center that was still slightly cold.

It’s a small store front kinda restaurant. Minimal seating. A kind of “on the go” experience. Quick assembly style order and go eatery. A “keep the line moving please” set up.
Ohhh but the tacos are delicious!!! Overstuffed, full of meat, and if you dare order extra toppings, you’ll need a sturdy plate to catch overflow juices and condiments.
Pure bliss!
My one suggestion… larger taco shells please.

I not a big fan of chain food, but when I am, I go to Gordo.
Some of the best burritos/tacos around. They have good sized portions and every so often, they have taco specials.
Their assembly line is quick and you don’t have to wait long while your food is made. Seating is a bit limited but you could take a stroll on Solano and find a random spot to sit down.
The protein options are great. I recommend the carnitas.

Gordo’s has some of the best burritos ive ever had! I usually order a bean and cheese & rice super burrito with 3 slabs of cheese with pinto beans. The steamed tortilla wraps it all together literally and figuratively; further more they are a efficient quality food making machine and usually have 2 or 3 people in front two of them making the food and 2 in the back helping clean and restock as well as helping generally around the shop. I Highly recommend this Gordo’s to everyone.
