But I don&#8217;t find myself in Greenwood very often.  Today however, it was finally meant to be. <a href=\"http:\/\/laurenlavoie.com\/\">LL<\/a> and I were going to meet DeAnn for lunch in the Greenwood area, and I suggested we try Gorditos. DeAnn&#8217;s been looking for good Mexican food ever since she moved to Seattle in August and had so far come up with nada.<\/p>\n<p>Parking in the area is a little tight (there are maybe 5 spots outside dedicated to Gorditos, but we found a spot just a few blocks away). While waiting in line we got to preview the more popular orders. Most were various burritos ordered &#8220;wet&#8221; (with red sauce and melted cheese on top).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-images\/food\/gorditos.jpg\" alt=\"burritos larger than your forearm\" class=\"thumbnail\" align=\"right\"\/>We also were able to witness the two sizes of burritos. The &#8220;regular&#8221; is what is pictured here. Split three ways we barely managed to finish it off. The &#8220;grande&#8221; is about 1.6 times the size (only $1 more!) and can supply most people with 3-4 solid meals.  We ordered a &#8220;regular wet chicken burrito fajita-style&#8221; from the friendly cashier. Fajita-style means that in addition to the black beans, salsa, rice, sour cream, and chicken they add grilled onions and bell peppers.<\/p>\n<p>The chicken is seasoned well and grilled fresh, and you definitely should spring for the &#8220;wet&#8221; burrito &#8212; the sauce is a little spicey and filled with chipotle flavor.  Definitely worth a trip to Greenwood.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere is fairly standard burrito-joint decor, with loud music playing in the background. You&#8217;ll need to speak up or order yours to go. But I&#8217;ve been told that the grande burrito will not completely fit into a takeout container \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gorditosmexicanfood.com\/\">Gorditos<\/a><br \/>\n213 North 85th St.<br \/>\nSeattle, WA 98103<br \/>\n206-706-9352<br \/>\nWed-Mon 10:30am-9pm (Lunch and Dinner)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rating: Three things to know about Gorditos: Arguably the best burritos in Seattle, prices are cheap, and portions are HUGE.
