Reviews For Taqueria Los Gorditos

I've driven by here several times since they opened and always thought it would be a good place to try, so after picking my kid up from school at nearby Earl Boyles, I did just that. Now, I'm hardly a vegan, but I do enjoy some of the various meat substitutes that are out there, so I went with the Garbage Burrito (flour tortilla stuffed with Soycurls, soyrizo, tofu, beans, rice, red & green salsa, onion & cilantro.) I also got a side of chips and salsa, and I picked up some red (molcajete) and green salsa from the salsa bar. The burrito itself was great and will probably be my go-to when we eat here. Everything just blended together perfectly. Even though I associate chorizo (or soyrizo in this case) with breakfast burritos, it really worked well with everything else. The chips were obviously hand made, but it was the salsa that really blew me away. It was very thin which I REALLY don't like, but the taste/texture was akin to a broth. It was so good. It has this deep richness that was super yummy. My only (minor) complaint is no pico de gallo at the salsa bar, but there were enough other good options, that didn't bother me too much. I'm really looking forward to going back and trying the Fajitas, Chilaquiles and Gorditas, among other things...

Food was amazing! I had the huarache. Restaurant was a little rundown, but it worked for eating. Also had a churro which was pretty good.

Been coming here for years. The veggie food is as good as the meat food so for my wife and I who one of us is vegan and the other isn’t this place is perfect. Be had 10 different things and all are fantastic. Good prices too.0

Super underrated taco place. The staff are always super nice and the food is 10/10. They have a huge vegan menu which is why my girlfriend and I always come here. We live in Vancouver which has very limited vegan options. I would definitely recommend anyone to come try this place!

Hubby's favorite burrito place. Highly recommend the garbage burrito. It's been a favorite for years. I prefer the shrimp tacos. The burritos are Huge! Wonderful little shop. Solo cook today, not a problem he was great and timely. Always a great experience.

They never have any agua frescas drinks at this location so no tamarindo, jamaica, pina, and horchata. They do however have the biggest portions of delicious meat, vegetarian, and vegan tacos, burritos, nachos, and loaded fries. They now have ice cream
