Gorditos
“The Grande burrito is bigger than a newborn baby.” This is my final selling point when recommending Gorditos because I’ve learned that people can’t resist things that are so wrong they’re right, like the movie Pootie Tang. Don’t bother trying to visualize the size ratio in your head, directly in front of the cash register there is a picture of a swaddled newborn lying in the shadow of a massive Gorditos burrito. They say size isn’t everything and here it doesn’t need to be because the food is fan-friggen’ tastic. All the meats are grilled, the beans are lard free, and the salsa is homemade. My favorite, the fish tacos, are liberally sautéed with lime juice, cilantro, and black pepper instead of the typical deep-fried gut-bomb. The tie-dyed t-shirt wearing staff are always smiling and rocking out to raucous Mexican tunes. Here the food is made with fun, which is part of what makes it so delicious.
