Las Gorditas De Don Angel

They taking so long to bring your food. Food good but the wait for food to come to your table is about 45minutes, and these are just gorditas.

Tasty fresh gordita! Cheap and several flavors to choose from. All they sell is pretty much gorditas, and the place leaves a little to be desired other than that I’ll def be back. We spent 20 bucks for dinner for two.

The best! Each bite takes me back to eating Gorditas in Durango! You will NOT find anything more authentic and amazing as this! And I refer to authentic as in Durango style (smaller sized Gorditas al comal and not fried) I reccomend the chile pasado, chicharron prensado & Burritos de desebrada con mayonesa! The small size is what makes them so good!

BEST GORDITAS in Chicago, one of the WORST SERVICE in town.
Simply put, these are the best gorditas in Chicago.
When I friend of mine suggested to go get some gorditas in Cicero, I said «forget it, I’m not going to Gorditas Aguascalientes !!» (those gorditas suck, Im not even wasting my time reviewing that place).
He said «It’s a different place, you’ll like it».
Ive been going back ever since, my friend gets mad when I go by myself, lol.
The masa (dough) could be better, but the guisados (fillings) are just perfect.
My favorites, chicharrón prensado (a sort of carnnitas and meat ends), and «huevo en salsa de molcajete» (scrambled eggs in salsa made by smashing the tomatoes and peppers instead of using a blender).
Papas (potatoes in red sauce) are delicious as well, so is the Carne Deshebrada (shredded beef).
They have regular size burritos, as they are supposed to be, regular size flour tortilla with your choice of fillings, served with just the filling, not rice, beans, cheese, none of that nonsense. They ask u, though, if u want your burrito with mayonnaise, which is weird to me, but I’m not from Durango, so that might just be the way they do it over there.
SERVICE:
If u call in your order, they’ll tell u that it will be ready in 20 mins! and still, u get there, and sometimes it’s not ready!
One time we ate there, there were just another 3 tables, and it took us at least 20 mins to get our food, it wasn’t even busy.
In another occasion, it was a rainy, very rainy weeknight, we didn’t think it was gonna be that crowded, but it was, we got there, people were standing waiting for their turn, as people sitting at some tables left, the ones standing up started to look at each other wondering which one of us was next, none of the staff said anything, it was like the Bush administration during hurricane Katrina, no body knew what the hell was going on, no body knew what to do…
one would think that they’d give u a number or have u check your name in to have some control.
Great Gorditas, VERY POOR Management, VERY POOR Coordination.

So the food is great… but the service is just terrible. There was a ton of people in the kitchen making the food, and only ONE waiter for 12 tables oh and he’s the cashier also and the bus boy. Clearly he’s over whelmed doing everything, but I mean even if I wanted to order more food that wasn’t an option.

The best of the best when you are out and about just call for pick up and youll never go wrong. I love specially the melrose park location.

Used to love this place but I think it’s taking a turn. Went back cuz I haven’t been there in a while but decided to pass by and order some gorditas. Carne Asada and Piccadillo. Turns out they didn’t have anymore Piccadillo. Said fine so ordered some carne Asada. Can I just say wow… All of em were basically gristle, no meat. Every bite I took was tough and nasty. Gristle ratio on the meat now is ⁷⁰⁄₃₀. Will likely never eat here again which sucks cuz it used to be good

Love the food! It’s close to home and very affordable. My daughter loves it. The place is small but the taste makes up for that. Haven’t had one bad thing. Definitely recommend.

Favorite gorditas here in Chicago! I love the fillings, carne roja con papas, Chile con rajas, you name it. They reminded me of my grammas gorditas growing up. I would say estilo Durango. The place is pretty small but worth the trip. Simply delicious.

Im glad I went to their Melrose Park location first before visiting this Cicero location because otherwise I’d be turned off by the business.
It simply does not compare. Im not sure if because we got there close to closing time. but the gorditas were greasy as hell and the filling was dismal… also I’m not one to shy away from hole in the wall places but this one was dirty and just looked a bit run down. again nothing like their Melrose Pk location. even the service is more attentive. I really like their gorditas… so now I know which one to go to.

I go all the way to Cicero just for these gorditas. Don’t expect a big menu, they really only do gorditas. No real sides. It doesn’t even matter because all the gordita fillings are so good. Deshebrada, nopales, rajas, potatoes, egg — I can eat there every day. The salsas are the best, some of my favorites anywhere. Go!

The best gorditas in cicero! If you’re craving an authentic duranguense gordita come here! Just a tip make sure to bring cash they don’t accept debit!

Would be five stars if they didn’t take more than 30 minutes for 4 gorditas! And mine just had beans!!! my other friend did get meat but still:/ this place always drags. BUT ITS GOOD

So good but be ready to wait they are slooooow my recommendation is visit once take a pic of the menu (they don’t have to go menus) and call ahead.

Every time I come to this place, I always order the Gorditas. The prices are very reasonable and any Gordita that you order is amazing. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone. Best Gorditas I’ve ever had.

They make excellent burritos estilo durango but they seem to make them smaller every time I’ve bought them so I stopped. They also never have seating because they’re so busy and they only have a handful of tables. Even when I plan to eat there, I end up just ordering to go.
Taste is pretty good so I definitely recommend.

Best gorditas in all Illinois, probably in the whole United States! My boyfriend brought me here and I loved him more ever since! LOL
You have to try the Gorditas de requeson con frijoles! One of my favorites!

I’ve come to learn that when my father in law recommends something, I listen. I’m so glad we did!
First things first, this place is TINY. There’s 5 tables up front and maybe 3 in the back. They are also ridiculously busy! Phone orders are off the hook here and people kept calling and coming. Huge orders. Obviously this added a significant wait to our food.
Gorditas — $ 1.90
Tacos — $ 1.40
Want a gallon of menudo? $ 20!
This place is no frills, all flavor. Except the barbacoa, it had no flavor. Very close to 5 stars but no bathroom, cash only and waiting almost an hour really hurt my experience. I’m sure we will be back.

The gorditas a great and I’ll go back for more but for sure call in your order or you’ll be waiting a very very long time for your order. We waited almost 45 minutes 6 gorditas… bordering on too much of a wait.
The only other thing that was a pain was they didn’t accept credit cards… what place doesn’t take credit cards I mean come on this is 2014. If you don’t take credit cards at least you could have an ATM. I had to walk 2 blocks to the gas station for cash.

Had them booked marked for the longest.
I am crazy about gorditas and specially Durango style gorditas so when I saw that this place had opened I marked them immediately.
Time passed and I never made it a point to make it there until last Friday.
Met a friend for dinner there around 8 PM. The place needs a little help, it is a little run down but no biggie.
I ordered 2 gorditas and 1 burrito. I know that they don’t usually come with beans so I asked them to put some. I did not get beans on my food, a little disappointed.
The service is nice too but a it needs a little help too.
There is a, what it looked as a small room in the back, or it could have been just a few tables in the kitchen. I wonder if the people who sit there get a preferred more authentic menu? I wanted to eat in the kitchen!!! Maybe next time.
The gorditas are actually pretty good, cheesy crunchy pouches of masa filled with some pretty tasty ingredients.
Not impressed by their chile pasado though.
LGDDA, would totally come back if in the hood, will ask for the kitchen table if possible so I don’t get insider envy.
