Analysis:

This burrito is the pinto bean and cheese with guacamole (how is it so good?) and jalepenos. I've eaten this burrito, and only this burrito, three times a week for four years and have yet to get sick of it.

A few comments....there is special love in the beans and rice, which I can neither identify nor resist. the salsa is always fresh, firm, and tasty, and the fellas have a way with guac...mucho creamy. The hot sauce is tangy and only lost one point due its capacity to be hotter. I usually eschew the chips but on the occasions I've had them, they are standard, sometimes room temp, average fare. Ratio and presentation are both subjective and directly related to which master of the fold you are dealing with. I can't say that I have never had an unbalanced or poorly wrapped burrito at Gordo, but those few lapses (they gotta train the new guys sometime) are few, far between and more than made up for by the hundreds of perfect burritos I've enjoyed at Gordo. -Meredith Allan Chupack, Burritobot Correspondent

Reader Comments:

"Fast, cheap, and out of control" Score: 8.8
"The best thing that the Gordo 'rito has goin for it is its simplicity. Simple, yet flavorful, and the menu doesnt try to intimidate into some complex dinner decisions with an extensive menu. Nossir, they only do a few things but they do them well. Dock a point or two for not including chips & salsa with your order, but otherwise, a true favorite. Definite repeat-customer potential."—Burrito Joe
