Gorditas Loli's #2

Simple Classic Mexican treats in a variety of authentic flavors & fillings! Make sure you try the vegetarian versions, these are not flavors recently developed for the vegan trade, but historically accurate sensations! Don't miss the hot sauces, like the nutty Chile Cascabel and the tangy Guacamole salsa! It's all part of the experience!

I recently visited Gorditas Loli #2 and had an amazing experience! The restaurant offers a wide variety of options, including delicious vegetarian dishes. One of my personal favorites was the potato, cheese, and poblano pepper gordita, which was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. My husband, who is a meat lover, thoroughly enjoyed their carne tacos, which were some of the best he's ever had! The homemade sauce at Gorditas Loli #2 is absolutely amazing and really elevated the flavors of all our dishes. We couldn't get enough of it, glad they just put the whole sauce bottle in front of us! The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff who were attentive and helpful in making recommendations. The only downside is that the prices have gone up significantly, making it difficult for us to visit as often as we'd like to. However, the quality of the food and the overall experience is definitely worth the splurge once in a while. Overall, I highly recommend Gorditas Loli #2 to anyone looking for delicious and authentic Mexican food, including great vegetarian options. It's a five-star restaurant that truly delivers on all fronts! Value - on the expensive side for a mom and pop Ambiance - small, cute and cozy Service - they are really nice and very attentive Taste - yummy Overall - I recommend ♥️

Such a good restaurant!! The closest cooking to my mom's/family's I've been able to find. Great flavors (their chicharrón with red salsa is just a bit salty at times) and great textures on the rajas. Beans are *chef's kiss*. And their tacos de asada are perfection.

Good real gorditas in the neighborhood,something is not easily to find in the north side. Very nice people and clean. Good flavor. They could be better served meat wise as they are almost $3.0,but still good. The only bad thing is that is ONLY cash,I used the ATM and oh my God!! I got charged total of $6 dollars for using the ATM, while at the screen shows $ 3.50 and I agree, the statement showed another $2.50(hidden fee), the bank says the owners get 3.50 and chase 2.50 so double rip-off. That's is why 3 stars

This is the best authentic gorditas I have ever had!! Wish I lived closer.

These are the best Gorditas ever. They make them fresh so weather you are doing pickup or dine in, you’re getting them fresh. I recommend you eat in person if you truly want them fresh off the stove. The service is amazing as well, we had them make us a different Gordita than we ordered and they swiftly made us the one we ordered and let us keep the one we didn’t order, amazing service. I have never had a bad experience and I recommend you try a Gordita de chicharron prensado en salsa roja.

The dinning areas is very clean and the staff are really nice. The tacos are ok the menu was a little confusing. Good place for a quick bite.

Best Restaurant In Avondale For Their Good Courtesy.

Every time my partner and I visit we have to make a stop here. We discovered this place a couple years ago and we have recommended it to everyone we know in the area/those visiting. Everything they make is SO good and it's all handmade. The place itself is small and nothing fancy, but the service is top notch with amazing food. Plenty of options for vegetarians as well. Highly recommend stopping by!

All food prepped and very clean area used and the stuffings are spot on. Unfortunately. They aren't great at maintaining their daily schedule. They open around 10am, but run late. Better time management could make this place really big!

The Gorditas here are soo good. We generally order to go, and they are ready within 15 minutes. There isn't a type that we haven't liked, but the go-tos are chicharrón and asada.

Gorditas is a gem! The quesadilla and steak gordita were flavorful and satisfying. My girlfriend loved the veggie options. The restaurant had lovely decorations for Valentine's Day and offers exceptional service! Will definitely be back.

I was in that neighborhood to see a concert at Sleeping Village and just found this place by complete coincidence. The food was an amazing I had the Carne asada and the chorizo/potato gorditas... they were delicious. An hour and a half later, I went back for more. Highly recommend.

Gorditas Loli has me all Roli Poli. The Gorditas are delicious. They are made to order, so if it's crowded, it can take 20 minutes. The masa is not greasy, and the ingredients you choose are all fresh. I prefer crunchy/ more well done, but they cook them a little to short for my taste. CASH only, so bring your dolla bills.

Low key, casual gordita eatery. Their menu is just that and nothing else. Gorditas not like what you've eaten at that fast food chain, TB. Nor like some of the more "dense" versions sold at some local taquerias. Regionally, gorditas can differ in style but some taco shops don't put enough care in it's preparation nor frying. Many people enjoy them most when crispy. The gorditas here are soft & fine, sort of like a flour tortilla. I think this is because of how lean the dough shell is and for that, their menu prices are quite low. Due to that build, the prep time is low and an order can be serviced very quickly. What should wow is the way each protein is seasoned & prepared. As a meal I find them basic. Two to three gorditas can make a meal for an adult, one is good enough for small children. I wish they gave the option of adding additional ingredients to gorditas to make them more meal worthy. ie lettuce, diced tomatoes and onions or onions, cilantro and beans. I'm sure folks wouldn't mind an up-charge for this. If you've had a gordita at a taqueria and hated it, trust and try this. The spend is low, so it won't break the bank and you'll get to try something different that might jump onto your radar the next time you're wanting something different. Thumbing through photos online, the way some food items are prepared has changed. Still good but don't go basing thoughts solely on the photo presentation. Nice people running the shop, they are uber thankful for supporting local.

Time is wrong. Placed an order because online it says closes at 7. Site order went through. Waited only for it to be closed.

This was my first time trying gorditas, and boy was I #blessed to have it here! The place is small and cozy, but really, you come in, choose your food (mostly Gordita options) eat and go. They make your Gordita fresh, so do anticipate a slight wait if you order more than 1. Don't worry, totally worth it! The 2 that I tried were my instant faves (so far)! Asientos (ground pork) and chicharron prensado en salsa roja (pork in red sauce) were soo good, my mouth waters kissy thinking about it. I know it sounds simple, especially the ground pork, but they place it on a bed of cheese etc. it really is more decadent than you can imagine. Each Gordita is $2.05 and they have ample vegetarian Gordita options as well. Quesadilla, burrito, and tacos are listed, but the bulk of their menu and what I urge you to order if you're here, are their specialty gorditas. Just a heads up, their burrito and tacos are miniature size! They're also cash only, but have an ATM in the back near the restrooms. They have horchata and other typical Mexican refreshments. Can't wait to try the rest!

Everything was delicious , we got 8 Gorditas. The red sauce was spicy just how we like it , flavorful also. Gorditas were slightly crispy with a little crunch yet thin also, mmmm.

Have to give credit to Dennis Lee and Chicago Magazine for introducing me to this gem. I like to seek out delicious Mexican food all throughout Chicago and surrounding suburbs, so I was expecting this place to be good but what I got was pure homemade greatness. Everything is made to order and made in-house, so be patient. The pork and beef are some of the best I've ever eaten. The red and green salsas are also delicious and made in house. It's now one of my new favorite places that will become a regular spot for me. Portions are small, so order 2-3 items, and try the different types of meat. They also have an ample vegetarian menu. Highly recommend this no frills, cash only, authentic little paradise.

I love this place! Pockets of joy! Lots of vegetarian options, order this!! Very friendly and the salsa is awesome, loosen your belt

There are so many different kinds of gorditas here beyond the usual al pastor/carne asada/chicken, etc kind of thing that you see everywhere. Really great

Super nice and attentive customer service, it has an overall warmth and welcoming feeling to it. Not to mention that the gorditas are bomb, literally they are making them on the spot. Their coffee is very good too!

I never had a Gorditas before so I have nothing to compare this too. I liked it and two Chicken with Chipotle sauce were filling for me. Staff was nice. I took mine to go, however there were only two people in the dining room about 5:30. I would go back and possibly eat in the restaurant. A little disappointed they don't have desserts.

Seems like a family oriented business (I know this because the worker making the Gorditas called the cashier "apa" with the father being an older gentleman and being the only one wearing a mask. The daughter was making the Gorditas and was not wearing a mask. I did not know this before order via phone until it was too late. I still ended up trying the Gorditas cuz I felt bad and they were ok- there red sauce is really good. I do not recommend the steak, it's that rubbery kind. I probably won't go here again

Yummy! They seem to accommodate if you mix and match ingredients. Most of their vegetarian options contain cheese (which I don't eat much) so I asked for a simple bean and potato gordita and it did not disappoint!! 5 stars, so good. They are a bit smaller than your usual mexican food joint but the taste is worth it. Try them out! Will be back to try the mushroom and cactus ones. Also, CASH ONLY!

This is exactly what this neighborhood needed! Their speciality is gorditas, which sets them apart from the other Mexican places around here-that and the fact the interior has more effort than most and they're service is over the top. We had the barbacoa, asada con queso, picadillo and an horchata (which for the first time in my life wasn't a cup full of ice!) and it was on point. We got a burrito on the house since it was opening weekend, and it was good, definitely had a kick to it! Delicious, friendly staff, and awesome environment. So happy to see businesses doing better in Avondale these days.

I stumbled upon this place because I was hungry. Thank you stomach. What was supposed to be a quick lunch turned into a meal fit for, funnily enough, a gordita like me. Try the horchata... it's the perfect amount of sweet. The gorditas were amazing BUT the chicharon one with green sauce, made my cold dark heart melt and cry... it was so good. The ladies were friendly and warm and this place is good and cheap. I didn't want to do this review because other people will discover them AND WHAT ABOUT ME?! LESS GORDITAS FOR ME!!! But but hey, check them out. You won't regret it.

Delicious gorditas highly recommended! Great customer service! You will not be disappointed! Fast service !

Glad there is a new addition to the neighborhood and I can stop going all the way to Melrose Park for my Gorditas fix. You cannot beat the $1.95 price and best of all my kids will eat them too. Their agua de Jamaica is on point and not too tart or too sweet. The only reason I did not give them a full 5 stars is because I have noticed they are stingier on the fillings.. the Gorditas place I go to in Melrose Park, IL , is oozing from the ingredients (and they sell for the same price as well) and here I feel they just smear them... I hope they change that because they are good and hope they stick around since it is hard for a small business to succeed in this economy but minus this little complaint, the gorditas will leave you satisfied and not break the bank.

Delicious, fresh meal for a great price. Between two of us we had two gorditas (one potato/poblano and one pork with red sauce), a burrito (pork with green sauce), and a cheese quesadilla. The gorditas were fresh and generously sized. I'd be interested to come back and try all the different fillings (there are ~20). The burrito was simple but good: just the pork filling and I believe the menu said mayo, though I didn't notice it. The Star was probably the quesadilla, which featured a super thick freshly pressed tortilla and a generous amount of cheese. All of that, plus two soft drinks, for $15. In addition to the great food and prices, the atmosphere was bright and clean and the service was super friendly. Looking forward to going back soon.

I hit the jackpot! No need to travel to the Southside for a good gordita! The flavors are authentic, the service was fast, and the cashier was so nice. I felt like I was truly in Durango, Mexico this morning.

Great addition to the neighborhood. Stopped in for some carry out, got 4 different Gorditas, some tacos and quesadillas. Everything was excellent, inexpensive and the restaurant is very clean. The staff/owners and super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be going back. Definitely try the shredded beef with green and red sauce and the Chiccharron.

When I arrived I noticed a BIG HUGE cockroach by the drink station. Seems like they don't clean and as I waited for my food I only noticed more and a worker a lady was not wearing a mask. Will not be returning!!

By far the best Gorditas in town, lots of choices for everyone cooked with the best and fresh ingredients, my favorite is the beans with cheese... Everyone is well accommodated so if you are vegan and or vegetarian there are plenty of choices starting with the sautéed mushrooms and vegetables. Very friendly staff, stop by and experience it for yourself.

Yum, yum, yum. A little bit home cooked food, great options to chose from. Cost is reasonable

Durango style gorditas. This food is completely different than the normal mexican places across the city. They are the same family as gorditas Don angel. For those of you that don't know the burritos are small durango style so do NOT expect the same burrito as you will find at a typicall mexican joint. If you have never tried them go with " desebrada salsa roja and chicharron prensado" if you want simple and safe go with the " carne" still delish. The burrito is just a plain flour tortilla with desebrada if you dont like mayo make sure to say no mayo. But in my opinion mayo is what makes this little burrito what it is. Don't be scared to order if you never had it go for it. For $2 you can't go wrong. They are made to order so expect to wait. Or you can just phone in the order 15min prior to arrival and you can avoid the wait. The salsas are not hot so give them a try to complete the experience

Tons of veg options, and they were so good I had to order more to take home with me! Drinks were delish (not too sweet) and staff was fabulous! Cash only, but 2 of us ate for under $20, with drinks. Gorditas are just around $2 each, and so tasty.

These gorditas are a very special style called "Santiago Papasquiaro". They're impossibly good. Lots and lots of unique fillings beyond your boring "chicken" and "steak" half of their 20+ offerings are vegetarian. They're thin, I usually order 3 or 4. You must try the Chile pasado, the most tasty and unique filling

Frendly, family run, clean, inexpensive, tasty. The horchata was really nice, not too sweet and not made with bad ingredients. The barbacoa was my favorite. The red and green salsas that are on the table are great. Love the music videos of bandas playing. Will be back for sure. A nice addition to the area. They need to put up some better signage so they capture more of the thousands of people passing by on Belmont.

It was delicious ,durango mex style gorditas. From my visits to Durango i can tell it is lime eating there. The staff is awesome i felt like i was at my aunt's eating. Place is real clean. I am definetely a return customer

I love this place. Extremely authentic. If you want a real Mexican burrito this is the place. They're not the huge burritos you get at a typical Mexican restaurant. This is the real deal what I ate as a kid at home. And the gorditas just as I remember them in from Durango, Mexico.

Honestly love this place has been one of my favorites since they opened! My favorite Gorditas are the chicharrón prensado and the chicharrón botanero. I would totally recommend this place if you want to try some new authentic Mexican food

Really good gorditas, they have a lot of different ones to choose, my favorite is desebrada with green salsa, delicious! Definitely fav new spot.

The best Gorditas you'll find without having to go all the way to little village! Being Mexican myself, it's hard for me to find good and authentic Mexican food, but Gorditas Loli's has exactly that! Highly recommend:)

The vegetarian Gorditas were incredible, and the salsas amazing!!! I even made them cheese-free and the flavor was great. Loved the cactus option. Cute little spot, too
