" Ricas Gorditas Vale exceeded all my expectations! From their homemade chips to the incredibly fresh fillings in the gorditas, everything felt authentic to me. The servers were pleasant, welcoming us with smiles and quick service. The only complaint I could muster is that the dining area could use a little sprucing up, but the food makes up for it in spades. I highly recommend the chicharrón and mole gorditas! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually write reviews but I feel compelled to share my experience at Ricas Gorditas Vale. I've been around Mexican restaurants both in Mexico and the US, and I must say, their gorditas are some of the best I've ever had! The meat was juicy, and I appreciated the choice of both corn and flour tortillas. My friend had the enchiladas, and they were equally delightful. The restaurant's ambiance is simple yet inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy good food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ricas Gorditas Vale hoping for a tasty meal based on its reputation. I ordered the menudo and gorditas with various fillings. I was a bit disappointed as I found my menudo lacking flavor, but the gorditas were delicious and filled adequately. Service was okay, not the friendliest, but they were efficient. I would recommend it for the gorditas alone but hope to see the menudo improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Ricas Gorditas Vale. Their authentic flavors in the gorditas stood out, but the service took a bit too long for my taste. The place was crowded, which might have affected the experience. I still enjoyed the food immensely and would probably stop by again, especially if I can grab an off-peak time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for the first time and was blown away by the flavors! Each gordita was stuffed full—the meat was warm and flavorful. Although the place could use a little renovation for comfort, it’s the food that shines here. My only downside was the lack of variety in the drink selection. Still, a solid place worth visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard so much about this place, I finally decided to pay a visit and the hype was certainly justified! The gorditas I ordered were incredible, each one packed full of fresh ingredients and authentic flavors that reminded me of home. It's not a fancy place, but that's part of its charm. The service was on point - friendly and quick. If you're looking for a true taste of Mexico, come here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chicharrón prensado gordita here, and it lived up to the hype! The flavor was spot on, with the right amount of seasoning, and it was generously filled. Though the restaurant itself is quite basic in decor, it feels authentic and homey. The service was excellent, and I can't wait to go back! Make sure to ask about the specials. " (*Curated Review*)
