" I visited La Gordibuena after hearing rave reviews and I can affirm the hype is well-deserved! The gorditas truly embody homemade flavors, especially the chicharrón and the picadillo variants that instantly warmed my heart. The service met my expectations—cheerful and prompt even when the line was long. The only downside was the parking situation; it can be tricky during peak hours. Overall, a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about La Gordibuena! The food is well-prepared, and the flavors are delightful. It's like having a taste of home. The staff is friendly, especially the owner who is often at the counter. It's an affordable dining option for an authentic Mexican meal. My only complaint is that sometimes there's a bit of a wait during busy hours, but it's worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon La Gordibuena after hearing so much about their gorditas and I must say, I was not disappointed! The flavors remind me of my grandma’s cooking, especially the frijoles con queso, which were simply divine. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the service was top-notch even during a busy lunch hour. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m obsessed with their gorditas! I've been to many places and La Gordibuena's are by far the most authentic. The taste takes me back home. I love how they offer varied fillings too. Plus, their service is super friendly, making you feel like part of the family. I could eat here every week without getting bored! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Gordibuena, what a delightful surprise! Their gorditas had the authentic flavor I crave, especially the rajas con queso. The service was friendly and prompt.

" I had a mixed experience at La Gordibuena. The first time, everything was amazing; spectacular flavor and freshness. The second time? Such disappointment—a greasy, soggy gordita with very little flavor. The service was still good, but they need to work on maintaining standards for their food quality. I hope my next visit is better! " (*Curated Review*)

" On one hand, La Gordibuena serves a decent selection of gorditas, but honestly, I expected more based on what everyone was raving about. My gordita was not bad, but also not remarkable. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the people were nice, just wish the food packed more of a punch. I might come back, but I’m not in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)
