The burritos here are enormous. I mean really big. So definitely come hungry or at least be prepared to take some home and have leftovers. It is really crowded.

This is a Berkeley classic. It has a great social atmosphere. It is a social capital building. I always run into someone I know there. Everyone must visit.

For a down home attitude, an exceptionally low price, and simple but fantastic flavor, try a Gordo burrito. The guacamole is incredible (I sometimes dream of it) as well. Be wary of the chips, they are often stale. There are also Gordo locations in Berkeley and in San Francisco.
PROS: If you speak Spanish, you will enjoy what the staff says about customers
CONS: If you don't speak Spanish, you won't know what they're saying about you

The food is really good, especially the chile verde! Probably one of the best I've ever had. Get a super chile verde with no salsa and extra cheese!!! Good portions too!
Gordo's has the best huge burritos; a great buy for your money. At times they have long lines-- but what do you think that says? TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT! SOO YUMMY!
Pros: Large Portions, Flavorful food
Gordos consistently delivers quality mexican food at a super reasonable price.
Gordo is overpriced and the burritos are not authentic. Food from local "burrito trucks" taste much more authentic and are sold at a much lower price.
Pros: location
Cons: , taste, long lines
Try the Carne asada tacos, great BIG burritos and wonderful guacamole. The line moves quickly and be sure to specify soft or crispy for your tacos. They ROCK! I live in New York now and HOW I miss my Gordo! Cheap, too!
Pros: Cheap, Delicious, Filling
Cons: Ugly Decor
