Gorditas El Fogon is a small very casual restaurant that offers gorditas and a lot more. Incase you don’t know……Gorditas are yummy masa dough fat pillows that are grilled and are stuffed with cheese and other fillings.
Besides over a dozen different gorditos this restaurant offers a bunch of other things. They offer breakfast, tacos, burritos, tortas (sandwiches), a kid’s menu, and what they call plates. Soft beverages are served here.
We had to order a Gordita so we went with a jalapeño and cheese Gordita.
It came with a lemon wedge, pickled red onions, a little lettuce cucumber and two salsas and was only $3.25 (subject to change). The Gordita is very tasty, cheesy, and not too spicy. It’s just tasty I think anyone would like it.
The green sauce seems like tomatillo based and is medium spicy. The slightly smokey red sauce is much spicier.
We tried a Gordita beef asada taco and a Gordita chicken taco. Inside is seasoned meat and cheese.
Both are nicely seasoned. We both prefer the chicken over the beef here. The chicken is finely shredded and is moist and tender. The beef is fine chopped but is a bit chewy. Here the rice is tasty and kinda fluffy. The beans are loose just like from most Mexican restaurants. $9.49 subject to change.
We also try the Culichi fish filet (fried tilapia $11.99 subject to change).
We got a meaty filet of mild tasting white fish topped with a green sauce that might be tomatillo and lots of mild melted white cheese. To the side are generous amounts of Mexican style rice and refried beans. This also came with white corn tortillas.
They also only charged $1. for a bottled water (subject to change).
It sure doesn’t cost much to eat here and the food is tasty!
Worth a Try!
