Best burrito in town! Best salsa too! Service is always quick and friendly. I stray away from time to time and always end up with a mouth full of regrets. Seriously their food competes with the best in the Mission in SF, for the entire ten years I've lived here it's held strong. I get the shrimp fajita burrito but any burrito is always big with everything evenly distributed, you get all the ingredients including meat from first to last bite. My husband always gets the street tacos, one of each meat because he can never pick just one. I will finally stop pretending there might be something better out here and know my money is well spent here. read more

Gordo Burrito lives up to its name -- the portions are generous and you won't leave hungry. I ordered the Asada burrito and the size was solid. That said, the flavor was pretty flat. The asada didn't have much seasoning punch, and nothing about the overall burrito made me want to come back for another round. If you're prioritizing quantity over flavor, this is your spot. But if you're looking for a burrito that's going to impress your taste buds, you might be disappointed. Worth a try if you're in the area and need a filling meal, but it's not one I'd go out of my way for. read more

This is for the 8th and Pine taco truck. This used to be one of the best Taco trucks in town but once they expanded the quality plummeted. I went there today and it was awful, chewy fatty meat, minuscule portions, bland flavor and low quality all the way through. I don't know what happened but they went from the top to the very bottom. This is my least favorite place in town as of now. Service was good. Location is great. Food is terrible. read more

Still amazing after all these years! Plates, nachos, asada fries, tacos, burritos? Yes! AND, their breakfast burritos are bomb. They're open 7 days a week right now, breakfast only served until 11. Super kind people working and whether it's to-go or eat there, their food will always hit. read more

One of the better breakfast burritos I've ever had, definitely the best breakfast burrito in Chico

Breakfast Burrito didnt include what they claimed it included. Basically just a burrito of beans and egg which gets gross after eating half of it. read more

The quesadilla with birria was soooo good! They have a salsa bar with salsa verde, habanero salsa, jalapeños, limes and radishes. The salsa is SPICY and tasty. Staff were friendly and all around great spot for takeout. read more

Good Mexican food their pastor is my fave its well cooked n shredded. A lil bit grease but you can live service is quick.

Glowing reviews from devoted fans, allusions that shrimp burritos were the best in town, that they could do no wrong, etc etc. Curiosity and the chance of finding the one Mexican place to outdo the rest made my lovely companion and not so lovely me drive to Gordo Burrito. First impressions at around 12:30 PM: busy (which is always a good thing) patrons coming and going, a nice outfit of what appeared an all women crew in constant preparation, and knowing that when it comes to good food there are no barriers I ordered from a congenial attendant named Jose the Shrimp Burrito for around $14. Tried to encourage them to make it count, meaning pretty darn good! Even went as far to insinuate I came from headquarters, whatever the heck that meant. Turns out there is a convenience store right beside Gordo. Not a bad option. Burrito arrived wrapped in aluminum foil, not an impressive sight in size. One half went to the beauty, gave her the smallest of the two, the other for the beast not much bigger. Removed the wrapping, looked inside and did not see but one or two shrimp, certainly not whole ones. The bulk of this relatively small burrito was no surprise: rice and refried beans, about 94% of it. This is the sad reality in the world of burritos making, load it with everything but almost never with the main star. My small half tasted good, and apparently my companion's also did, as she decimated her half rapidly. Their green salsa and fresh diced cucumbers helped. Yes, prices have gone up, I get that but the best in Chico? No way, Jose. Edible, at $7 a small half you bet your hot jalapeños! 3.8 Stars. read more

Best burrito in town. Love the pepper and salsa bar. Highly recommend the Gordo burrito.

THE best taco and burrito spot in Chico. I moved out of town and always have to hit them up when I visit.

Best in town hands down! Carnitas breakfast burrito no beans add avocado! Yummy. Seriously everything is amazing.

Delicious breakfast burritos! Wished they served breakfast for longer hours. Clean, quick and great spot to pick up some authentic mexican food... read more

Been going here for 10 years. This place is a true gem, great food and great people, they never disappoint.

I mean it's good I i just feel like there sauces need to be a little more spicy and on the burritos a little lighter on the beans

Worst tacos I've had so far in Chico dry tacos Al pastor tacos are the so bad also vary dry

The best chicken grill tacos! I recommend buying 3 or 6 grill tacos to go. Love this place. I drove from Sacramento to eat these tacos. Their hot sauce is superb. Hot and spicy. Time to go back and grub. read more

Delishious breakfast burrito. Great service. Highly recommend easy access off freeway

Cool little hole in wall that is appropriately tucked in next to a gas station. I have only enjoyed a breakfast burrito so I cant really comment on much more than that but it was pretty good, although I had to search for the meat in it and it seemed a bit on the small size for something that cost me a little of $7. They have a nice little salsa bar, which is really nice to see! The service was excellent and I was treated kindly and with a warm smile. I will definitely be back to I try out their tacos the next time that I'm passing through Chico. read more

Disappointed with the fact that on two separate occasions my burrito has more rice than beans and meat. Also, the girl working the register lacks in customer service. For example. She says have a nice day on your way out whilst looking down on her phone‍. read more

Bro these tacos are hitters. They gave me jalapeños also . On god these are worth a shot if you need a bite early in the morning . Bro I told them I was gonna wash my car and homie walked it out to me . I've been eating and saw this guy bring it to old white guy too . Service is kind of crazy . You gotta FWT read more

Different day, different time, still just meh. Need a burrito and a half to be fulfilled. Meat was hammered, not juicy. But, definitely edible. read more

Ok. I'll admit it... I was a little skeptical that this place was next to a gas station. I was thinking to myself. How good/safe is this place? Oh man was I wrong! This place is one of my favorite mexican places in Chico! Service: Service is a hit or miss. There's a guy casher here that's usually pretty nice and doesn't give you much issues. But there's a lady casher that pretty rude and will tend to rush you as you're ordering. Food: I've enjoyed all their menu items, but my favorite are the shrimp taquitos and their burritos. Burritos are pretty standard, but the meats are always juice and tender. They make it perfectly ratio. So I never have too much rice or beans in a bite. Their shrimp taquitos are crispy and have a good amount of shrimp in every bite! Honestly, I think their shrimp taquitos has drugs in them because I keep coming back for more every single time! Overall: I definitely recommend this place! read more

Great Mexican food ! The black beans are really good and the rice is fresh. Nice service the people are very nice.

I love their food my favorite are there tacos there a bit pricey but worth it and the people are extremely nice.

V disappointed- how could they win best of Chico. I ordered the Gordo Chicken Burrito ...this was mixed in a huge scoop of mush like a school cafeteria burrito There were about 5 recognizable chunks of chicken and avo - I'm shocked beyond shocked- I forced down half and I'm going to have to trash the rest. What is wrong with Chico ! This verged on disgusting. read more

On a road trip and stopped in for a quick snack of a burrito and tacos to go. Our only regret is not buying more. The food was fabulous.

Every time I call this place it gets more and more ridiculous. It just so happens to be the same guy who answers the phone every time. This time I said I'd like to order a burrito. As I'm telling him what I want and that he cuts me off to ask me what I want in it. How about listen to what I'm already saying? If I tell him I want half the normal out of rice and beans, steak and eggs. This is when I get cut off again being told I have it all wrong. I'm told they have a breakfast burrito and a lunch burrito. The lunch burrito house rice and beans. The breakfast burrito has eggs. I ask "Can't you just put in the burrito what I want in the burrito?" I'm told "No that's not really how it works." Oh. Okay. Bye. Never bothering with this place again they do taste good though so I'll give them two stars read more

I was craving a burrito so i looked up nearby places and this popped up. I placed an order over the phone for pickup. I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla, 2 Gordo Burritos (One Carne Asada & One Chorizo) and an order of Shrimp Tacquitos. I pulled up to the establishment which took me by surprise as it wss connected to a Valero Gas Station. A little worrysome I headed inside to pickup my order. Everything was tightly packaged inside two bags, I took them with me and headed home. Let's see....the food wasn't anything to rave about that's for sure. Everything had very little flavor, although the presentation was very nice! Kind of a bummer in my opinion. The shrimp was definitely of a rubbery texture inside the tacquitos. There was 4 of them so I ate one and gave the three that were left to seperate friends to see what they had thought. We had all agreed upon the same thing about the rubbery texture. The burrito's were filled with mostly rice and the Chorizo that I had ordered inside was resembling more of a shredded pork/beef than anything else. I almost had thought I got the wrong burrito at this point. I didn't get to snap a picture of these ones but it was just a normal burrito wrapped in foil. Lastly, the Quesadilla was just a large rectangular flapjack looking thing (see pictures). Kind of odd...it wasn't cut and didn't come with sour cream or any sort of salsa. Not really sure what to think of this place other than I won't be returning. Giving this one 2/5 only because I didn't get a stomach ache! read more

Costumer service was bad, owner was here cashier didn't know how to explain the food. Two people in the front they ended up giving us the wrong order. I got the asada fries and I ask them before I order what it comes with they never said tomatoes, I hate tomatoes and my super fries have them. We talk English and Spanish and we try it talked to them in both idioms and they still didn't explain it. My boyfriend got birria burrito and they give us a carnitas burrito food it's was still okay but service was super bad. And they give us or food to go. Without asking lol and they don't sell drinks just in case. read more

Gordo Burrito - Recipe - Mexican Near Me - Chico, California

Oh, Gordo. Where do I start? This is pretty much a "hole in the wall"- but gas station version. It is linked up next to the Valero next door and a relatively convenient stop since it is just off the freeway. They make one of my top two favorite burritos in all of Chico. They might even be my top favorite currently. Their burritos come with everything I would want on one... beans, rice (omg their rice is the BEST!), chicken fajitas (or whatever meat you choose), cheese, avocado, green salsa (I get mild), and sour cream (but I get it without). The chicken is always yummy, and they just nail it on the even distribution of all the goodies in every bite. I hear they have some delicious nachos as well, but I have not tried them yet. I can never stray away from the burritos! They have a salsa bar (the green is my favorite!) and even pickled veggies, LEGIT slices of lime, and other goodies. Everything is made quickly, tastes fresh, and even during their lunch rushes they get you out the door as quickly as possible (in a good way haha). read more

We love this place & often go when we have company! Best taco truck in Chico. Good food- great prices!

Hands down my favorite taco truck/taqueria in chico. Get the pollo asado on anything, you won't be dissapointed. I have been coming here for almost a decade now and the consistency is insane. It tastes exactly the same as it always has, and the prices are very fair. Highly recommend gordo! Also, some people might have forgotten, but during the Camp fire the owner was donating meals to people affected by the fire. This place gets a 10/10 in my book. read more

Just around the corner from my house, and I only recently stopped by. So glad I did! The Gordon burrito and tostada were both delicious. I'll be bask! read more

What can I say, we all have a favorite taco truck and this is mine. No nonsense, good food, quick and obscenely cheap. Tip them a lot.

Great food, service and reasonably priced. They are a Chico icon. Either location is great.

Delicious every time! Friendly staff, casual dining area. Top 3 Mexican food in Chico!
