Glad this place is close to work! But we have made the drive up from the OC since I tell my family about my yummy lunch's. Sat afternoon drive isn't bad. Love the Chicharon con chile verde. The chicharon with bits of meat and diced to small chunks. Ask for a fork.. I also love the Gorditas de rajas. Sliced poblano peppers with soft burnt cheese. Love to eat my Gordita. Bomb lunch truck that found the perfect spot and added the indoor seating recently. Try it , You'll love it !! read more

Gorditas La Baja - Gordita de Rajas con queso - Mexican Near Me - Norwalk, California

Another little soot worth checking out if you havent been. Saw them on social kedia and its "Mexi-Papa approved" haha This place has a small but delicious menu. Gorditas are small hand made from maza like a chunky tortillas. They are sliced in half and stuffed with fixins usually rice, beans and your choice of protein. If its your first time and you are ok with stewed pork, i suggest the Chile Verde(pork stewed in green sauce) & Chile Rojo(red sauce) gorditas. Thats my go-to order. They also have a Surf & Turf, Asada and skrimps which was also yummy. Place is tucked behind La Jara Brewery in front of the Lowes. Pro-Tip: You can buy your food and bring it to the brewery for a beer, they welcome outside food. read more

Gorditas were tasty but parking is limited to three spots in front and most are 20-min only by the adjacent liquor store. Price per Gordita is over $6 per but goes portion size. Bowl gives more filling for about double the price. Split three Gorditas between two people, not quite enough for a lunch so maybe two per person, but each is hefty. The camarones (Shrimp) was my favorite protein. Each shrimp was marinated and/or seasoned on its own, and then topped with small avocados and pico de gallo, great pairing and overall very flavorful. Chorizo con papas (spicy sausage with potatoes) was savory and just a hint of spice, and just a little bit of oil at the bottom of the Gordita. Tinga de pollo (chicken) was served with nopales (cactus). These had the texture and taste of boiled green beans, so next time I would ask for those to be held. The chicken was moist, no extra sauce but robust flavor. The chicken was juicy enough that the Gordita masa was falling apart after a few minutes, best eaten fresh and immediately. read more

Gorditas La Baja - Gordita de Camarones (Shrimp, top), chorizo con papas (left), and tonga de pollo (chicken, right) - Mexican Near Me - Norwalk, California

Cool little spot with yummy Gorditas. I had the chicharrón in chile verde and a chorizo con papa. Hubby got an asada one and chorizo con papa. The masa was very tender and good quality the fillings had flavor, my only negative is the asada one just looks boring only because you just see the meat sitting on top and the beans are hidden at the bottom. I think maybe a crema drizzle and some queso on top and some pico de gallo would make it look more appealing and not have the beans be only at the very bottom of the gordita but other than that they're very tasty. read more

Wish I would have clicked submit when I wrote this review! No it's not open :( but man their gorditas were fire! The staff was friendly and helped when being indecisive. read more

Delicious gorditas. Got chicharron with green salsa, red salsa and a few with red salsa and nopales. Very well portioned and filling.

I recently visited this location and I ordered a Gordita with chorizo and papa, the chorizo was very salty and there were only two pieces of papa which one of them was rock hard and that's why I gave it a low score. The rajas con queso were really good. Service was friendly and the ambience was ok read more

The food is so good ,I had a Gorditas de carne asada, chicharon rojo and Camaron. Great customer service and good vibe.

Gordita La Baja now has a physical restaurant location in addition to a food truck, which you'll sometimes see parked outside the restaurant. There are ten different gorditas available. They have a fluffy pita-like masa stuffed with varying combinations of cheese, potatoes, beans, rice, and guacamole. The fillings include asada, chicharron, chicken, and more. The best gordita I've had was the Chorizo Y Papas (chorizo and potatoes). Adding some of the red sauce from the squeeze bottle, it was a nice little mini-meal. The asada option comes close behind. The Chicharron Rojo & Verde, had fried pork with a healthy amount of fat. I don't care for that much fat, but I know others would love this chicharron. In addition to gorditas, there are nine different bowls, that have ample portions of the fillings in a bowl, along with the cheese, potatoes, beans, etc., as well as a plain fluffy tortilla that can be used to make a gordita or just eaten as-is. Where it would take me two gorditas to make a meal, one bowl would be plenty filling. I must mention the flan, which is not on the menu but is available at the front counter. It was amazingly creamy, rich tasting, and topped with raspberries and blueberries. I'll be sure to order this on future visits. A variety of drinks are available, including horchata or jamaica on most days. The service at the counter has been very friendly. I didn't ask, but it appears there are no restroom facilities; perhaps a restroom would be made available behind the 'employees only' door. Parking is problematic, with just a few spaces along the street, but a few more available on the side of the building; or, park further down the street or in some other business's parking lot. read more

Don't let the outside fool you, the inside is beautiful and the food is delicious, with the nicest people inside the kitchen! Btw The gorditas are pretty stuffed and big, so make sure you know before you order three for yourself, like I did. haha thinking they were going to be small lol I ate them all though but definitely a heads up. read more

Chorizo and rajas gorditas were perfection but their asada was so bland. It's a stark contrast. It's also a bit pricey imo. If it was more affordable I'd go back to try the other meat options read more

Absolutely unacceptable experience. The staff showed zero regard for hygiene handling money and then immediately touching food without washing their hands, changing gloves just to touch their face and continue working, and overall completely ignoring basic sanitary practices. It was disturbing to watch. To make it worse, the food I received was cold and clearly not handled with care. This place is a health violation waiting to happen, and I won't be coming back. Management seriously needs to step up before someone gets sick. read more

Great food really big portions. Everything I've tried there has been great. The menu is unique you can find something for everyone. It is a staple for the family gatherings read more

The portions are really big for the amount of food you get. I got their steak and shrimp tacos, both of which were very delicious. For background, it's a food truck located next to a building where you can eat inside. There is also outdoor seating by the food truck. read more

These are the best Gorditas I've ever had! Way better than typical tacos! Each gordita comes with beans and cheese, and then you can choose from 10 different varieties. My favorites are the chicharron rojo, chorizo y papas, rajas con queso, and the camaron gorditas. read more

Everything I got was packed with flavor! They were all so good! Gorditas are packed with meat! Steak was tender & juicy. Chicharron cooked to perfection. The rajas con queso just melts in your mouth.

I loved the vibe, authentic good Mexican food.

Another one of my go to places for lunch. We try to only go once a week but sometimes we're here twice a week lol. The gorditas are amazing. The shrimp and chicharrón rojo are my favorite. They take a little while to get done specially during lunch rush hour cause of how many people go. They are always nice. read more
