" Gorditas La Nortena: the name says it all! This eatery truly serves the best gorditas I've ever had! They reminded me of my grandma's cooking, which is hard to find. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal with friends. I highly recommend the chicharrones in salsa verde; they are divine! Just be aware that it’s a cash-only place, which is a bit inconvenient. But trust me, the food here is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend Gorditas La Nortena enough! The food is absolutely amazing, fresh, and so delicious. The portions are generous and very reasonably priced. I was impressed by the various options available on the menu. My favorites were the gorditas and the fresh juices. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a family outing. Be aware that it is cash-only, but that should not deter you from visiting this must-try restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot about Gorditas La Nortena, and I finally decided to give it a try. The gorditas were good, but to be honest, I was expecting more. The masa was not cooked thoroughly in one of the orders, and that was disappointing. The service was friendly, and they were prompt with my order, but I left feeling somewhat underwhelmed. I'll probably give it another chance, but I hope for better consistency next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Gorditas La Nortena has an inviting vibe and authentic Mexican ambiance. I tried their chicharrón gordita, and it was phenomenal! So much taste and a generous helping. The homemade salsa really complemented the meal. Despite being cash-only, which can be a hassle, it’s worth every penny. You feel their pride in the food they serve. I will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food, but there were some issues. The cleanliness of the place could be improved significantly, as tables were sticky. The gorditas tasted okay, not bad but not great either. I appreciate that they are cash-only, but I wish they'd clean up their act a bit. With some changes, this place could really shine! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was worth the trip! The gorditas from Gorditas La Nortena exceeded my expectations, especially the one with chicharrón. The service was enthusiastic and the lady at the counter was very sweet. The happening atmosphere at lunch hour makes it even more enjoyable. Although finding parking is tough, the food makes it worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)
