La Gorda Mexican Food 1681 North Zaragoza Road, El Paso, TX 79936

"Not what I expected from a torta place. Mostly burritos, gorditas, but not tortas. Mexican food definitely. Bland and not many options."

"These used to be a fave when I visited home but the last couple times have been a disappointment. They hardly fill the gorditas. When I ask for asado, I get 80% potatoes and it’s very thin and not super flavorful. Asking for beans is also a crapshoot because they’ll often maybe add a tablespoon to the Gorditas. Hope they make adjustments! Used to be so good."

"The Food is amazing!!! Love love love the Chile Colorado with flour tortilla Gorditas!!! I tried the Green Chile with meat and potatoes; excellent!!!"

"It was the first day (Monday, 06JUN2022) that I added swimming to my highly modified RCAF stretching/strengthening schedule, and was quite famished afterwards. I was cycling South on North Zaragoza Road when the scent of fresh tortillas alerted me—and my empty stomach—to this great eatery. Despite the mid-morning hour, desayuno (over medium) was the meal to have, and it was both extremely tasty as well as filling. The plate came stacked atop a basket, which I didn’t fully understand, but, what the hey, I needed/wanted to eat. I was a bit surprised that no tortilla was on top, so I bought two more if the delicious flour patties. I felt a pang of regret for abstaining from coffee due to not currently travelling when I saw free refills and it wasn’t bloody wasteful K-cup style! By the time I consumed the delicious food and had begun to clear the table, I found the tortilla in the basket, under the plate, so now I had THREE delectable tortillas, and ate the last one with gusto. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal, and highly recommend “La Gorda” (any of their locations) to persons who enjoy Mexican food , eat in or take out. It definitely has my highly coveted “¡Wheel of Approval!”"
