Gordo Taqueria

We placed an online order for two burritos through Gordo’s app and went to the store to pick it up. When I arrived, I lined up with the other customers, there were three parties ahead of me and two behind. I approached the cashier and informed her that I had placed an online order about 15 minutes earlier. She old me it wasn’t ready. I stepped aside and waited patiently. As the line moved, I noticed that the customer who was behind me when I was in line, received his order. I asked the cashier again if my order was being prepared, and she dismissively replied, “We’re busy.” Then, two more customers—also behind me in line—received their food. I asked once more about my order, and was met with the same indifferent response: “We’re busy.” I pointed out that had I simply waited in line and ordered in person, I would already be eating. At that point, the employee preparing the burritos looked at me with a hostile glare and said, “Take it easy, man”. I reminded him that I wasn’t yelling or being aggressive—I was simply asking for the food I had already paid for. He and the cashier then began speaking in Spanish and laughing at me, which felt deliberately mocking and unprofessional. The burrito maker then threw together two burritos in a rushed, careless manner. He shoved them toward me and said, “Here, take it,” in a tone that was both condescending and aggressive. I refused to accept the food. The behavior of the staff—especially the burrito maker—was shockingly rude and blatantly disrespectful. No customer should be treated with such disregard, especially when they’ve done nothing more than ask for the order they paid for.

fast service, ok food (would love for it to b warmer). i've had better but i'd say i've had better burritos in town😊

Get you a thick one at Gordo. Always a line out the door but quick serve and delicious flavors. Mas pico de gallo por favor!

The burritos were good, but the service was horrible. The staff misheard my orders, not once, not twice, but three times. I was frustrated by what they said. I couldn't hear them (I wear my hearing aid) because of the noise. I wish the staff were working on handling the customers with language barriers or disabilities. Did the staff laugh because I couldn't hear them? Or did they work too fast without listening carefully?

Overpriced w a silly pricing structure where ‘super’ refers to size but sour cream, cheese and guac are extra. The register lady is unfailingly rude, I’ve been there numerous times. At least she’s consistent? Asked multiple times for sour cream and guac and was charged but did not receive. Chips were stale too, and unless u ask for salsa the lady won’t give it to you.

Consistently GREAT over the years with their menu and prices. Never disappointed. Hands down the best burritos!

Some of the BEST burritos I've ever had! The carnitas are out of this world. Awesome flavor. Even better prices. Reg burrito is ~$8. Helpful and friendly employees and CHILL vibes all around. If you're looking for good Mexican food in the City, come here.

I really like the marinated steak here. It is not dry because the meat is soaked in these cafeteria type metal containers filled with sauce and meat. For lunch, I had their super steak burrito $9.80 + $1.40 guacamole + $.95 sour cream = $12.15. The cheese, guac and sour cream cost extra. Chips are $.75 and does not come with a super burrito purchase. Service was friendly. I wish they had a salsa bar. I sometimes likes to dipping my burritos in a random hot sauce and get that burn. It is not available here.

Simply the best, and this is the best location. My order: a flour quesadilla add rice & beans, sour cream, tomatoes and hot sauce. It's like a lightly fried burrito of deliciousness.

I had a 8 ladies to feed and was delighted to come across two of Gordo's specials: The Party Starter Pack (Large Bag of Chips, 1 Pint of Guacamole, 1 Pint of Spicy and Mild Pico de Gallo, and 1/2 Pint each of their green and red sauces) and a FAMILY MEAL which got us 2 bowls of chicken, 1 large bowl of beans and rice, 15 corn tortillas, Pico de Gallo, (and more chips with sauce). This was more than enough food for my group and was a lot less complicated than taking 8 individual orders in. Everyone loved it. Gordo's was also flexible about my picking up my order at the last minute instead of having it delivered.

I think they are making everyone gordo. Happy taco day! 50% off today only. They turned off their website so no one can order online. I joined the line at 7:30 pm and I got my food around 7:53 pm. They were rapido despite the line. I got 3 tacos, 2 beef and one chili verde. Delicious. All that for $9! Scored. It comes only once a year. If you are on their email list, they will email you on the same day. Ai said next National Taco Day is October 7, 2025. Mark your calendar and let's be Gordo.

Neighborhood spot for burritos if you're craving one. It's a small storefront so be ready to take to-go. They make it in front of you like Chipotle. Good flavor and stuffed to the rim. They do charge extra for guac and sour cream so it can be more pricey for a burrito compared to other taquerias once added together. The difference between super and regular is the tortilla size, not the extra toppings inside. We got carnitas and chile verde. I personally preferred the chile verde over the carnitas since it's more wet and saucy. You can ask them to put it on the grill to get it toasted (if possible, my chile verde was too wet so they said they couldn't). Service was fast. Nothing out of this world but convenient spot for burritos if you're in the area!

I had the best burrito her at this place! I am not sure why many people don't like this place because I love this place! The service was great and the ambience was good.The chicken burrito I had here was fantastic. I highly recommend this place. I give them 5 stars!

I had a sudden taco craving. This was when I needed to make a stop at Gordo. So I made up my mind and ordered two bean and cheese tacos. After seeing the beverages they had in the cooler, I opt in for a bottle of Mandarin Jarritos. As for staff and service, friendly and good. The location is a little small which is the only downer I have. Most of the customers ordered to go. But there were some seats available for those who wanted to eat in. I love the bean and cheese tacos - delicious and satisfying.

There are endless debates about the best burritos in San Francisco....La Taqueria, Veracruz, etc. S.F. has great burritos. One of those "best" burritos is from Gordo. It's been a staple for decades and has had its ups and downs. Right now, it's on an up! The carne asada, chicken and chile verde are amazing. For my money , the carnitas is the way to go and never disappoints. In this visit, the chips and guacamole were amazing. Not sure why exactly, but wow. The beans and rice are superb as are the salsas. They have a fairly basic selection of drinks ....serviceable. The experience is no frills and there's almost no seating at the clement location. Take it to go and find a lovely place to consume. We chose the car!!! Service is solid and also no frills .

Not bad but it doesn't really stand out. We got super burritos which were fine but didn't have much / any seasoning or sauce for flavor. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit

Unfortunately must give Gordo an unfavorable rating, ignoring I had fond memories here as a kid in the mid 90s, and though first time back in almost 30 years. Quesadilla was pretty sad. Folded in thirds with hardly any cheese and a third of the tortilla just plain and draped over. Looked like an afterthought and mangled burrito. Super Burrito can only be described as plain jane, reminiscent of airport and midwest gringo mexican spots. Singular notes of each individual ingredient. Not grubby, lack of flavor. Plus the guy asked if we wanted sour cream and guac.. I figured it all came in the super burrito. Since I didn't place the order, I'm not sure if this was an add on and extra charge or them just double checking. A seemingly lack of passion, needs salt/more seasoning, pico de gallo tasted like plain tomato, and we didn't even get any salsa on the side when asked (???) Didn't enjoy, sadly

I've been coming here for over 30 years. We moved to Kansas City 20 years ago and nothing there compares. Still the best Carnitas Meat Burrito.

Good, cheap eats Super burrito with shredded chicken, cheese, black beans, rice, Pico and hot sauce. The shredded chicken is much more tender than the roasted chicken so that is the trick to getting a good protein at this place.

Gordo Taqueria has some of the best Chile Verde we have ever had. I love that I can also customize a salad bowl, a Gordo plate, or a burrito and it's immediately done. Service was nice and efficient. Ambiance is not much at this location as it's more of a takeaway place. The Gordo on Geary have tables/seats so you can dine in.

Delicious, quick and affordable. Craving a burrito? You can't go wrong with Gordo's. I always get their super burrito with carne asada. They make it right in front of you and the ratio of beans/rice/sides/meat is perfect. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Space is a little tight but perfect for a quick grab and go! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something quick and delicious. Parking was super easy.

These burritos are truly amazing! Everytime we come to San Francisco we try and put aside time to get these burritos. Definitely recommend.

I would love to like this place but I can't. Super burritos are ridiculously small at times.

We passed by this place over 100 x because it is a few blocks where we live. The place is small suitable for to go orders. There are about 5 people working behind the counters. We are so dissapointed with the service as well as the food. We were charged with extra guacamole and rice in tacos which we never received. When we request for chicken and beef quesadillas we never got any chicken. We will not be back!

Great spot for a burrito! It was so big I had some for later! I got the carnitas one and it was really good. I like the sour cream on it. Might get extra next time. Green sauce is hot! :)

4/4/23 I knew this was a dependable spot to drop in for a quick bite before a show I wanted to catch. How did it take me this long to find out they sold spinach and tomato tortillas for $.25 extra per tortilla? I got a spinach tortilla quesadilla which nowadays I think I'm clever when I'm trying to skip the rice and just get to the beef.

I need to go to the one in Berkeley but the one in San Francisco was very good as well definitely highly recommend going here

Been coming here since the late 70's when they first opened. The burritos can be hit or miss depending on who makes them. Todays super carnitas was awesome, as were the guac and chips. Is it as good as the Mission???? IMHO no...but for the richmond it will do. They now take credit cards, mobile pay systems, and of course good ol cash. If you are Hangry....Gordos will fix you right

Had a bomb-a** chile verde burrito here a few days ago. Tortilla was soft and moist, salsa was fresh, and the burrito was perfectly juicy but not messy--not a single drop was spilt!!! In my experience, the food here is nothing fancy, but just really solid, reliable, and affordable.

The food is good, and the workers are generally friendly. The 3 stars is for learning recently that the SF Health mandate surcharge is tagged on the bill. Why am I responsible for covering their employees healthcare cost? I'm sick of these eateries tagging on these junk surcharges. I prefer they just raise the cost and be transparent. I'm boycotting all these dining places that do this.

The BEST of all the Gordo's in SF, hands down. I've been going to this particular location since I was in the 6th grade and I'm now in my 40's--that's a LONG TIME. I'm loyal to this location because it's consistently good. The only gripe I have is their portions are small for the Gordo Plate.

My dad use to take me here as a kid and I love how I'm carrying the tradition and I introduced my girlfriend and friends to this spot Last week we ordered Two jarritoes - one mandarin. One fruit punch super Carne Asada Burrito (mine) Carnitas burrito (girlfriends) Two bags of chips with pico de gaio

This is worse than Chipotle. Nothing special. Thought it was going to be with how small it was, very few items etc... My carnitas burrito was dry and flavorless. Not even the salsa helped this. I guess I chose the wrong thing? Maybe should have done the chile verde?? Maybe not. Seems like this place is complete crap and I am not the only dissatisfied customer. This is not good mexican food at all. I take my Mexican food seriously, dry, flavorless food all wrapped up in a flour tortilla (made by someone else). Stupid Expensive too. Reg. burrito with a taco for my kid with just carnitas and cheese was almost $18. LAME!!! Sorry but not that good. Was expecting better. Avoid this place. There are better out there.

Because of the location and despite my 3-star assessment I've no doubt I'll again walk through the doors at this outpost of Gordo but each time I do I'll be doing the math in my head. It looks sort of like this: "How much time would it take me to get over to 9th Avenue?"; "Where might I park over there?"; and "Is it worth the hassle?" The sad answer is generally "no" though I kick myself every time. Gordo Taqueria has several outposts in SF and more elsewhere and if there was consistency amongst the sites it'd be less frustrating as a consumer. Specifically, I want all the other Gordo locations to make food that tastes like the food served at their 9th Avenue location. On this visit here the carne asada was so lacking in flavor that I turned the light on (I was eating in the dark) to make sure it wasn't a bean and rice burrito. In fact, it was carne asada as I quickly discovered via several pieces of inedible gristle. Unsalted chips were also unsatisfying, red salsa was bland, and green salsa overly spicy. Let this review serve as a reminder that sometimes the drive across the park is worth the effort. Gordo is okay to good (but always far from best in class) depending on the location.

I've been going here since I was a teenager and now I bring my kids! Super burritos are great as well as quesadillas, crispy tacos. Grilled chicken and carnitas are the go to meats. Everything is fresh and flavorful.

Although the Carnitas quesadilla was good, it's probably the easiest thing you could get anywhere. It was dripping in sauce from the meat, which I would not have liked it to be but otherwise it was good. Anyways over priced, but it was good and clean and authentic. There's four stools to sit on but not very convenient, so no dining you can order ahead.

On multiple occasions Ive heard the night crew making fun and laughing at the food they're serving. They assume white people don't speak or understand spanish, so they don't hide it. Maybe learn some basic manners.

Food was wack. Service was wack. They will try to upsell you or charge you more, so gringos beware! They also forgot my chips. You can find better authentic food than this.

Pretty sure that customers are no longer appreciated and if you get something "or not" with your order even if you didn't order what they gave you, too F'ing bad. Keep your mouth shut, pay for the crazy overpriced small portion of food, and get the F out. Crazy seeing people lined up to buy overpriced not really good food like it's going out of style. I get that everything is expensive nowadays, but give us what we pay for. We want quality before great service ( at least I do), but it's crazy if you don't get either one. I'm giving Gordos 5 stars because they have Mexican coke! I'd get on my knees in a dark back alley for a Mexican Coke any day or night!!!

Came here at 9:30 on a Saturday and it was everything I needed! The Clement Gordos is better than the sunset Gordos on flavor and portions. I got the exact same steak super burrito I usually get from the Sunset Gordos and it was somehow significantly better! Clement Gordos for the win! I just might cross the park for my burrito cravings from now on.

Usually a huge fan of Gordo's but tonight put a bad taste in my mouth. Ordered a bean and cheese burrito, then I overhead the guys at the front saying to upsell me a super bean and cheese burrito, as if I wouldn't notice. Asked me what kind of meat I wanted, which felt like another sneaky upsell since bean & cheese burritos don't come with meat. I clarified I wanted no meat. Then I asked for everything on it. They still asked me if i wanted jalapeños and spicy salsa, which i get some people can't handle, but they were laughing at me while they asked. I clarified I wanted everything on the burrito. I get to the cash register and notice they charged me for a super burrito. I don't say anything cause I don't want them to remake it (i don't like wasting food). But I left no tip and decided to leave this review. Tuesday night staff needs to learn manners. Never had this issue before, but I'm going to start going to Geary because of it.

$13 for a regular burrito... And they put very minimal amounts of rice and meat. If you ask for a bit more, they say they'll charge more. Taste is pretty good but not nearly enough to justify the price. Most recent visit, the tortilla was hard, indicating it wasn't heated properly (they don't finish it off on a grill). The quality is a lot lower but price is way up than what it was many years ago. I would recommend finding a different place.

Staff isn't friendly. You're telling them your order they're asking the same dumb questions like they just didn't hear what you said. Asked for chips and salsa and got a giant container of pico de gallo. The food doesn't taste good either... sad.

Great burritos , been going there for years. But this time thy had mint in the hot sauce. Someone confused mint and cilantro.

I really like the marinated steak here. It is not dry because the meat is soaked in these cafeteria type metal containers filled with sauce and meat. For lunch, I had their super steak burrito $9.80 + $1.40 guacamole + $.95 sour cream = $12.15. The cheese, guac and sour cream cost extra. Chips are $.75 and does not come with a super burrito purchase. Service was friendly. I wish they had a salsa bar. I sometimes likes to dipping my burritos in a random hot sauce and get that burn. It is not available here.

Chicken quesadilla was money. Great pico de gallo and verde salaa. Nice crispy chips too. Reasonable prices. Can't go wrong

Not the same Gordo's that I remember. The burritos appear to have gotten smaller than I recall and they charge for chips & salsa now. I used to love Gordo's for their huge portions and cheap prices but now I don't get either one here. Service was fast at least.

Used to be my favorite spot, but not coming back here. Told them 2 steak burritos when I went up to the booth like I usually do. Didn't look at what I paid for on the screen because the price was usually what we pay, no receipt. I went home and opened my gf's burrito, and it didn't have steak. Went back to let them know that I ordered 2 steak burritos and they were arguing to me that I ordered a bean and cheese burrito, when my gf's burrito didn't even have cheese. Why would I order a bean and cheese burrito that didn't even have cheese? It was ridiculous that they couldn't admit they didn't hear correctly. I then had to pay for them to remake a steak burrito, to which then they asked me "do you want protein?". Why else would I reorder? People make mistakes I get it, but to argue with a loyal customer saying they ordered wrong, was disrespectful. I 100% will not be coming back again.

The carne asada for the super burritos is perfect! Tender, juicy and tasty. Also, their guacamole is just right.

OMG these burritos are amazing. I love the simplicity of this place. You come in, order your food, it's made right in front of you, and then you're quickly on your way. The staff was very friendly, and the prices are very reasonable, too. I only wish they had a location back where I'm from! But I'll definitely stop here again next time I'm in SF.

line was pretty long, the tacos themselves were a bit dry. my mom loves their burritos here though, and it's relatively cheap and service is really nice.

Love this place! Great burritos and very friendly staff. We ordered their Super Carne Asada Super Burrito with all the fixings. Great flavor, and texture!

I have come here off and on for many , many years,, over 30 and sad to say I will never come here again. The "super" and "reg" feels scammy. Super always came with guacamole and sour cream and does in most places. This time the "super" was supposedly larger and with cheese ( hu?) extra $$ for cheese in a burrito? , thats it you have to pay extra for the minuscule amount of guacamole and seriously I barely could find any cheese. $28.00 later for two burritos we were very disappointed. To top if off the service was rude. i understand restaurants are suffering but come on this will not keep you in business. ( Tortillas were also cold).

I have Gordo to thank for making me gordo! Great Mexican food at a bargain. The Richmond's very best. Stop what you are doing and go eat an All-Meat burrito. Do it now. DO IT RIGHT NAO!! Gordon R approves.

I used to love Gordo but it's definitely gone downhill. The last time I had a burrito it was pretty salty, but today's burrito was so salty it was almost inedible. I also think they're skimping more on toppings, which is too bad because the salsa is the only thing that offsets the saltiness and gives freshness and kick to the burrito. It's such a bummer that in my book Gordo's gone from third best in the city, to "never again." At least the burrito was filling.

A little hole in the wall vibe in the Outer Richmond. I had the beef burrito which was pretty good. Definitely needed all of the add ons to have good flavor. I would recommend getting one of the saucy meats such as the chile verde. I LOVE that they have refried beans. The men working were hilarious and made my experience so pleasurable.

I am from Berkeley and have been going to the Berkely Gordos on College since the early 2000's. Gordos has the best bean cheese, rice, guacamole, and pico de gallo burrito. I am not a vegetarian, but I choose to get this combination every single time and it is delicious.. this is the best Gordos in the city we have tried all of them . My daughter is super picky, but she loves the burrito I order. . This location is also the easiest sf location to park at. The staff is friendly and the food is great. I love the Gordos rewards I eat there, so often I can almost always get a free, guacamole or pico de gallo, and a large drink for free. Their rice is delicious. Their pico de gallo is perfect and their guacamole is also very good. . The cheese is top-tier and they heat it while steaming the tortilla so it's actually melted. Delicious and gives the Berkeley Gordos a run for its money . I will never buy a burrito from a different place because they are never as good. Anyone who says it is worse than chipotle is clearly hurt by some thing else other than the food. That is a ridiculous statement. Try it for yourself and decide. All the locations are pretty good but this location is great. Berkeley is on another level though.
