Gordo Taqueria

Ordered a shredded chicken burrito and I’m pretty sure I got the remaining bits of carnitas they had left over. It was extremely dry and definitely not chicken.

Solid burrito, nothing special but always reliable. I have been eating at Gordo for years - used to frequent the one on College when I lived in Oakland - and any location you go to you'll get a big burrito that tastes good at a good price. Today was no different! Paid $10 for a super vegetarian burrito to go and enjoyed it at my favorite bar.

Gordo makes an OK super burrito. My steak super steak burrito is $10.35 + guacamole $1.50 + sour cream $.95 = $12.80. Most taquerias will include guacamole and sour cream on their super burritos but not Gordo. The only differences between a regular burrito and a super burrito here are the size of the tortilla and cheese. Chips and salsa are extra at $2.50. I had a hard time ordering as line chef was mumbling incoherent phases to me. They could benefit from an ipad ordering system with this guy. I never had issues at their other locations on Clement st. and on Geary. Service is abysmal at this location.

Food was ok- good place for a quick bite near the park

Foods incredible, service is trash. Have had 3 orders cancelled or never made in the last year with no explanation or heads up, find out when I arrive. doesnt matter if its a call in or Uber eats. The old guy with white hairs always rude about, this most recent time they weren't even busy.

Fabulous Carne Asada super burrito ordered. Reason why its 5 stars because the steak is greatly seasoned, grilled and you can feel that charred texture even after its been marinating in their juices. Had a green spinach tortilla with fresh rice and pinto beans, salsa , chile, sour cream that was fairly spread across. It doesn’t need any added salsa or chile to enjoy this burrito every bite. Consistently amazing every time I come here plus all other locations in the city. I’ve been going to all Gordo locations for past 20 years , and visit time to time to stand by this review. P.S. I do miss the free chips in their brown bag for take away and sit down. Bring it back Gordo!

If you need cheap eats near golden gate Park, this may be the spot for you. They have pretty good prices. Go up to the line cook counter and order what you'd like. If you're dairy free make sure you specify right away or you'll get cheese on your items. Good standard chips.

Yesterday, I purchased a regular burrito from the 11th Avenue location in the Sunset, made with grilled chicken, pinto beans, rice, vegetables, and sour cream. My mother ate half for dinner and experienced a stomach ache all night. I ate the other half for lunch today and am now experiencing the same symptoms. I called the store to report the issue and requested to speak with the manager, but after being placed on hold, no one returned to the line. I’ve been a loyal Gordo’s customer for over 40 years and have never had an issue until now. This is a sad sad day.,

I've never been big on this spot. One of my closest friends grew up in the Sunset, and swears by this place. He's taken me a few times many years ago, but I was never impressed... until the other day. After a beautiful day on the disc golf course, my buddy asked about lunch. Given that he just got married, I thought I'd surprise him by suggesting his favorite spot. Of course he jumped at the idea, since he doesn't live in SF anymore and rarely gets to have it. First of all, parking sucks. This location is right in the heart of the Inner Sunset, on 9th between Irving and Lincoln. Unless you get lucky or know some secret spots, be prepared to circle for a bit. Once we got inside, we were greeted by the staff. The menu is pretty limited, so there aren't too many options to choose from. FOOD: The filling options include: Carne Asada (grilled steak), Pollo (chicken, grilled & boiled), Carnitas (shredded pork), and Chile Verde (pork in green sauce), Beans & Cheese. They unfortunately don't have my two favorite proteins, Al Pastor (BBQ pork) or Camarones (Shrimp). You can get a taco, burrito, quesadilla, or "Gordo Plate". No nachos (on the menu), though they do have chips so they might be able to make it upon request. My new go-to order at a taqueria is 3-4 tacos, one of each meat I like. I let my buddy order first, who decided to also do tacos. They give options for Soft or Crispy, which I wasn't ready for. I was planning to go with soft, assuming the crispy was similar to a crunchy taco shell from Taco Bell. To my surprise and delight, I discovered that crispy for them means dipping the tortilla in oil, then grilling on the flattop. On top of that, he added cheese to them, which they melted on the tortilla. At this point I wasn't particularly hungry, but my mouth started watering. After the cheese was melted, they loaded them up with meat, beans, pico, and we added guac. I decided to try one of each of the Carne, Pollo Asada, and Carnitas. To my surprise, the pollo was the most flavorful; I could really taste the grilled aspect. The other meats were solid, but upon initially trying them on their own, I wasn't blown away by the flavor. We also got an order of chips and guac. I was hoping to get a small side of pico as well, though they only had an option for a larger plastic tub. DRINKS: They have fountain beverages, Mexican Coke, beer, Jaritos, and Agua Frescas. At the time we went, they had horchata and piña. Pineapple is one of my favorites, so I was stoked they had it! Overall I enjoyed my experience here this time and would consider going back specifically for those crispy tacos with cheese... IG: @bbnem.eats

Stopped by this taqueria to satisfy my burrito craving! It's a cute place in Sunset, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I ordered the super burrito with guac inside and also got a side of chips and guac. The super burrito was alright. It wasn't the best there and tasted a bit bland. The steak had some flavor, but it felt like it was lacking something. The chips and guac were not that good. They were very wet and lacked a lot of flavor. I felt there was too much tomato in it as well. I was a bit disappointed. The chips were also stale. they must have been sitting out for a really long time. Overall, this place was just okay.

I ordered a few tacos to eat in and immediately remembered why I don't eat at Gordo Taqueria anymore. The tacos were soggy and flavorless.

Burrito was made quickly and having range of sizes was nice. The regular burrito is enough to be full but not overly stuffed if getting super burritos at other spots. The steak was a bit sparse in how much meat was in this to ratio of rice and beans. There also was not a ton of pico de gallo and the spicy salsa I requested did not seem to be inside or had no flavor. Average spot for speedy burritos you can take to go

Gordo makes an OK super burrito. My super steak burrito is $10.35 + guacamole $1.50 + sour cream $.95 = $12.80. Most taquerias will include guacamole and sour cream on their super burritos but not Gordo. The only differences between a regular burrito and a super burrito here are the size of the tortilla and cheese. Chips and salsa are extra at $2.50. I had a hard time ordering as line chef was mumbling incoherent phases to me. They could benefit from an ipad ordering system with this guy. I never had issues at their other locations on Clement st. and on Geary. Service is abysmal at this location.

Quite disappointing. Quality of ingredients quite mediocre, chewy poor quality steak and not fresh tasting salsas/other fillings. Size of burrito underwhelming compared to other SF taquerias. No guacamole in the super burrito despite most comparable taquerias offering more in their super burritos. To top it all off, some stomach issues right after eating the burrito. Overall in such a restaurant dense neighborhood, you can so easily do better.

Not sure why this place has such a low rating. The service is quick, staff are nice, and food is great! I got the super chicken burrito (add grilled veggies) and a chips and salsa. The burrito is gigantic and very flavorful, the chunks of salty grilled chicken is balanced out well by the limey acidic salsa and the freshness of the guac. The chips and salsa are also an incredible deal! Great place with great food.

Carnitas Carnitas. Super Super Burrito with sour cream and guacamole. I've been coming here for over 20 years. All locations serve the same food and they all taste consistently the same. Never go wrong.

This burrito close too Golden Gate Park was so good, I considered writing it a love letter. If burritos had Oscars, this one would be a nominee for Best in a Delicious Role! Saw this place from a tik tok, had to go try it out ;))

Gordo was all you could ask for in a burrito place. The burritos were good, made quickly and very affordable. The best thing about it is they have a small-size burrito. Most places in SF only have Mission-style burritos which are massive and just an unnecessary amount of food if you're just normal hungry. Also, it's super close to Golden Gate Park, so you can bring it with you for a park picnic.

Not a great burrito place but consistent and predictable neighborhood joint that only makes a few things but makes them well. I go there because they're close by and convenient.

Love love love this place. Not your typical dry burrito. There's someone special about getting the grilled chicken burrito with extra pico de gallo. I normally do take out.

One big star knocked off for the horrible customer service from the cashier. Gordos still gets 4 stars as I don't believe in punishing the business for one staff member who is possibly having a bad day, translating into poor service transactions. The cashier handed my bag of chips to another customer after I had paid for it. When I double checked my order while standing in front of the cashier, I told him that I was missing a bag of chips. He stated he will not give me a bag as I did not pay for it, then proceeded to ignore me and help another customer. I had to show him a copy of my email receipt in order for him to believe that I paid for the chips. Very unprofessional and rude. I did not feel valued as a customer and have been coming to Gordos as a respectful customer for more than ten years. Additionally I was having trouble redeeming my points to receive a free bag of chips and pico de gallo so I took longer than expected at the cashier. When I say extra time, I mean I took one extra minute to try and figure out how to use my bonus points. The cashier cut me off while I was politely asking for help to redeem my points. He told me flatly that he will help the next customer in line. The customer that was waiting behind me was being polite and was not even rushing to pay. After that I stood on the side and waited for him to help 2 more customers before he acknowledged me again. I do not appreciate being treated like a liar and a thief. I would recommend this staff member to practice more patience with customers and pay attention to the orders so this mistake will not happen again. Otherwise the rest of the staff were great, and the quality of Gordo burritos are consistently amazing.

Used to get super burritos from them when I was younger. I got a beef one this time . It was big alright but I thought it was bigger before. Probably because I was so much smaller then. The place had only two small tables up front by the window. The rest were taken away. Mostly a take out place now because of COVID. I had ordered ahead and my burrito was waiting for me. They said 10 to 15minutes so about average. It was good and I would order from here again.

What happened, Gordo? We've been coming for years and have been ordering take out but lately their food and service had taken a serious hit. The snarky attitude, looks and stares when you specify that you don't want an ingredient in your food when ordering. Only to open up the foil, it's dripping as you peel away the foil, the burrito falling apart and is bland to boot bc an ingredient or two missing. Seems the lack of service is consistent after having read all the recent reviews. My 6 year old was trying to be nice but I can tell she did not enjoy her food. They messed up on her order, too. After a few bites in, she said she was not hungry. Sorry not worth it.

Trashy attitude from longtime staff who hate their job. I'd already sworn it off years ago, but ordered something to use the bathroom... Same guys. Same attitude. Now with lower overall rating!

El cajero que atiende es increíblemente grosero y habla a los clientes de manera pesada y al parecer no sabe que es la amabilidad ni tampoco sabe decir por favor y gracias, definitivamente no volvería a este lugar ni aunque me pagaran, así que ahorren su dinero y vayan a un buen lugar a menos que quieran que el cajero los trate de mala manera. The cashier who attends is incredibly rude and speaks to customers in a disrespectful way and apparently he does not know what kindness is nor does he know how to say please and thank you, I would definitely not return to this place even if they paid me, so save your money and go to a good place unless you want to be treated in a bad way by the cashier

What a giant disappointment. I've been going to Gordo for decades but hadn't been for a couple years. How far this great has fallen. It's embarrassing for a San Francisco institution like this to be serving up such mediocrity. I ordered my burrito and got a shriveled up, tiny, loosely packed thing you could barely call a burrito. If it had tasted great, I could excuse the paltry size (despite purchasing the 'super' version) and horrible wrapping job, but alas, it tasted as bad as it looked. Their ingredients have become bland and despite ordering their Super version, it left me wanting in both the hunger department and the flavor department after limping my way through my meal. I'm done with Gordo, there are too many great burrito places in this city to go eat at this one that is just resting on its laurels...

Literally the worst burrito ever. I bet if you asked guys working here if they care about their job they would say no. They can't possibly and they don't. I threw away a burrito, my first ever. No taste, dry.

Great food. Delicious grill chicken n steak. We ordered family meal added extra salsa, guacamole and steak. Total satisfying dinner for 4 adults n two toddlers. Plenty to go around. All good n everyone is happy. Will definitely do it again in near future. We did take out, easy order and service was pleasant n efficient.

A disappointing trip this time. We ordered 3 carnitas super burritos. Everyone complained it was bland and flavorless. Don't know who cooked this batch of meat but it was as if they left out the seasoning. We also shared a grilled chicken quesadilla which was way better than the carnitas. Kitchen has been more inconsistent over the years. Still, we will be back because there not a lot of good burrito places in the Inner Sunset. They need an El Farolito here.

Got delivery of the steak burrito with guac and sour cream and the chicken burrito. Both were ok, but flavorful. Never thought I'd say this but the steak burrito had a bit too much meat so it was very hard to finish.

Burnt, DRY carnitas. I didn't think any of that was possible. Skip, skip, SKIP. A completely flavorless burrito. In the trash it went.

TLDR: give it a shot. No bells and whistles but you get a great burrito at a great SF price. On a whim, we decided to try Gordo's taqueria. While not many chain restaurants exist in SF, Gordo's is a SF local brand that first opened in the 70s and now has around 5 storefronts in the city. They seem to have been the OG chipotle that never made it out of the city. After walking by the store front, we decided to give the place a shot. The outside is not much. Looks like it hasn't changed in the past 30+ years. The store front will likely not convince you to come in but we are glad we did. The restaurant does not try to hide its true identity. You are not paying for state of the art bathrooms or over priced wall decor. Its not a mainstream cookie cutter business model that you can plop anywhere in the country and sell over priced burritos. Instead it is authentic well priced burritos for the everyday person. If we are to call chipotle the starbucks of burritos, Gordos is the Dunkin Donuts of burritos. Maybe more like a no bells and whistle coffee stand of burritos. But they know their identity and does it well. The food is good quality and meat quality is great. Guacamole is so cheap that it'll make you never want to step into a chipotle ever again. Very tasty and a great last minute dinner. Get the super burrito for all the additional add ons. Overall, very pleased. Don't expect anything fancy but also do not expect cafeteria food. Ill definitely be going back

the best burritos in the world are made at Gordos. Salute to the hard working guys their who always make my burrito perfect. Keep it up :)

I've patronized Gordo's all my life growing up in the city. The burritos, tacos and other standard taqueria fare are pretty good, and of course, there's better out there but not around this neighborhood. I am knocking off stars for the female cashier-she looks very unhappy to be here and perhaps is having a bad day but I doubt it given her cheery demeanor when talking to a friend. Service here never used to be like this. Tossing items on the counter and looking super irritated. I regret tipping but don't want to punish the other staff for her crappy attitude. A smile or at least no resting B face goes a long way. Oh, by the way, quesadilla a bit too greasy for my taste if you like that then you can get it here.

While consuming a burrito from my local Marin favorite, I remarked to my son that "the burrito I really like is from Gordo's", then went on to provide a comparison. The burrito usually consumed at home is of the larger-than-my-head variety and I've come to realize that whatever size burrito I purchase, that's the size burrito I consume. It's a very bad habit and speaks volumes on my inability to moderate. But that's the way it is. Gordo Taqueria - this particular Gordo Taqueria (all locations are not created equal) - makes a regular burrito that is right-sized. Following consumption I don't need to nap. A Regular Burrito may include melted cheese (yes, please) but as a purist, I beg off the guacamole and sour cream that would be included in their Super Burrito. I don't think I've ever opted for anything other than Carne Asada, always with pinto beans, light on the rice, "tomatoes" (pico de gallo), salsa, and jalapeños. I find it perfectly delicious and I'm mystified that this particular location doesn't have a higher overall star rating here on yelp. Gordo is nothing much to look at but nobody's hanging out indoors these days anyhow. Give my burrito suggestion a try and I think you might also find Gordo - its burritos at least - to be quite perfect in both size and taste.

Decades ago, we used to frequent this restaurant. And we knew we were coming to the city and wanted better Mexican food than they have in the East Bay. Instead of heading to the Mission, we figured that we'd eat at a tried and true Sunset staple - Gordos. Sigh, it is not what I remembered. The service was fast and friendly. The food was just okay. I got Gordos out of my system for another few decades. At least, there is plenty of seating, and it's cleaner than most places in the city.

Wow this was some of the best Mexican food I've had in the Bay Area! The shop is in such a cute location near Golden Gate Park, and the service was super quick. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl with extra chicken, and they really hooked me up! The chicken was so flavorful, and I really have no complaints about the food - I will be back!

They're making the burritos smaller now, I noticed the last 2 times I got my regular carnitas burrito at the Clement location it was only about 60% of its normal size, I'm still hungry after I finish it, I'm a 152 lbs guy, I'm not a big eater, up until this year I couldn't finish their burritos, only got 3/4 through it and was ready for bed, but now it's a tiny little burrito, there's way too much tortilla, tastes like gooey bread. I've been going to Gordo for 9 years, it's gotten pricier but at least you could still get a burrito, what happened? I hope they're not trying to sell these as "Mission Style Burritos", they're not. Don't waste your money here.

Really, really bad. I ordered a super burrito on Doordash which is supposed to come with meat, beans, rice, sour cream, and cheese, and I even ordered extra cheese. There was ZERO cheese or sour cream, so it was just a sad burrito that was 90% meat. I remember going to the Berkeley location in college and it wasn't bad...wow, have they gone downhill. Don't waste your money here.

Super Carnitas with black beans on a veggie wrap is the way to go! Parking is a hassle but there's a parking lot between 8th and 9th @ Irving. I've been coming here since the 90s and it has stayed consistently great! They're known for their burritos but they also sell "plates", guacamole and chips, quesadillas for the kids, Jarritos in plenty of flavors. Seating is limited but they are right across the street from Golden Gate Park.

Gordo's is one of my favorite burrito spots in the city. I grew up coming here and it's just been a staple in the area for years. The grilled chicken with everything is my favorite.

Great people and fantastic food. I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints.

Crispy tacos and quesadillas. Enough said. Their grilled chicken is ridiculously juicy and tasty too.

I lived at 9th and Lawton for 15 years during the later half of my childhood. It was a really awesome place to grow up in the 80s and 90s; the park as my backyard, and I have fond memories of the used bookstores and mom-and-pop places. Great food scene, too! I was lucky to grow up with a Gordo Taqueria just a few blocks away and I will forever have a weakness for their signature take on the Mission burrito. I've sampled burritos far and wide and have had some great ones -- and many not that great -- but I've never met one that was better than Gordo's. I've eaten hundreds of Gordo burritos over the years. As other reviewers have stated, they are a wee bit hit-or-miss, but in my experience, it's a decent ratio of 95% hit and 5% miss and it seems to depend on who's making it that day. I've only had a handful of 'meh' ones over the years, so y'know, maybe give it another shot later in case it was a bad day. Everything is fresh, you can see them making and preparing everything. Grilled stuff tastes grilled, which, yum. My usual order is a grilled chicken super burrito with sour cream and hot sauce. LOVE the hot sauce and highly recommend it -- it elevates an already-great burrito. The accompanying rice, beans, tortilla, and fresh salsa add to the symphony of flavors and make for a succulent bite.

Everytime we visit home we always make sure to come here, at least, once. The service and food have always been consistent and their carnitas is some of the best I've had. Sometimes they will offer Horchata, that is so so good, but it isn't all the time so you gotta try your luck. The quesadillas aren't just cheese here, as after they steam melt the cheese they'll add in meats, sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapenos, etc. Also note that their tacos are also PACKED with so much ingredients. My go-to's are usually a super burrito or a plate, and we never leave here hungry or disappointed. The one star off is due to the fact that sometimes the burritos are wrapped in a way that the fillings can spill out, and the seating area isn't as kept up with as it could be; e.g. stepping on pieces of beans, rice, tomatoes, etc. Also, they still offer their healthier options as well; e.g. boiled chicken or spinach tortillas. Definitely a great taqueria and an SF staple. (I mean, why else would two guys from the bay area copy everything about it when opening taquerias in NYC -- Dos Toros.)

Is this the best purveyor of burritos in the city? No. But when you're hungry (hungry like a demon is dwelling in your stomach gnashing its teeth for flesh and blood), this place delivers. The burritos are ample, quesadillas are gargantuan, and both are tasty enough.

I am giving Gordo the full 5 stars, these are reasons why : I walked in and was acknowledged right away and my order was taken ( a super carnitas burrito ) no rice and extra hot sauce with a tomato flour tortilla wrapping. The service was good and the burrito was excellent and made to my liking. Keep up the good work guys.

One of the worst taquerias I've eaten at - bland food that doesn't taste fresh. Tortillas were dry too.

Go there for my weekly burrito. Fast, simple, good service and ambiance and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

It has been quite some time since I have eaten a burrito, and yes I am serious when I saw I have not had a burrito in quite some time. My friend was in town visiting family and friends, and among her requests aside from doing some kind of walking, that she can get Gordo's whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. With three locations in San Francisco, we visited the original location on 9th and Irving. Neither of us were hungry enough to attempt their super sized offering, and so we both ordered a regular. I ordered carnitas and she ordered chicken; skipped the beans, requested rice, cheese, guacamole, and salsa. The burrito was quite good and filling. I am not a burrito connoisseur, but will have to say that my simple meal was satisfying.

If you like mediocre (at best) tacos and burritos and to be treated rudely, then this is your spot! Enjoy!

Ordered a burrito with all the typical stuff in it. Flavor was good but the burrito was sopping wet for some reason and falling apart even in the foil. Otherwise a good visit. Wouldn't rank it anywhere near some of the taquerias in the city but there aren't a lot of other options in that area.

Sad. Just sad. Used to be the best burrito in SF. Instead of raising prices they cheat you on the quantity; paid $10 for a kids burrito. You guys need to wake up and get back to basics.

This is one of the only taquerias in The Sunset area, and they make a pretty good burrito. I went for something less traditional and ordered a veggie super burrito, added guacamole, and enjoyed myself. The Guacamole really sealed the deal, but their rice and beans are very tasty too. I recommend this spot if you are in need of a burrito and can't make the trek out to the Mission.

My husband and I were very disappointed about our experience at Gordo's on 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset. We ordered 2 super grilled chicken burritos and we were not pleased with the quality of the food. There was a very small amount of guacamole, cheese and sour cream and we could hardly taste these flavors. The burritos were dry with chicken, beans and flour tortillas. Also, there were two hairs in my burrito. I am lucky, I guess. Also, for these untasty burritos, they were 26 dollars. Forget it! Don't bother!

Gordo's is amazing, the best burritos in the Sunset! I have been going to Gordo's my whole life and there is nothing that compares to their great service and awesome food.

For our weekly Friday office lunch, I decided to have Gordo's. Our delivery order arrived via Caviar on March 16th around 12:15pm. *Grilled Chicken Tacos: 4 inch corn tortilla with chicken, pico de gallo, Green Sauce (Spicy), no beans ($3.85) *Chile Verde Tacos: 4 inch corn tortilla with chile verde (pork), pico de gallo, Green Sauce (Spicy), no beans ($3.85) *Beef Tacos: 4 inch corn tortilla with steak, pico de gallo, Red Sauce (Medium), no beans ($4.25), Add Cheese (+$0.85) *Chips and Salsa: Fresh housemade tortilla chips with spicy pico de gallo salsa ($5.10) *Guacamole: Fresh housemade guacamole ($1.95) I've been to both Gordo Taqueria locations in the Richmond and I don't remember the tacos being this hefty. There was a good amount of meat in all of them. I liked that they gave us sides of salsa instead of putting it in the actual taco. That way, they didn't get soggy. The grilled chicken and beef tacos both had a good smokiness. The pork was tender. The salsa with the chips was a nice big portion. Though I did wish I could just order the side of salsa as I am not eating deep fried food right now. The chips ended up tossed as I just wanted a side of salsa. The guac was okay. I've had better, but it added a nice creaminess to the tacos. Great place to grab some tacos. The rest of my coworkers also enjoyed their burritos and plates. Good hefty portions. We were all in a Mexican food coma afterwards. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but at least we got our money's worth!

I got the all meat super burrito with avocado. It was huge, I have pretty big hands but that made my hands look tiny. The meats were all very well seasoned and delicious. Making me hungry just thinking about going back.
