Gordito Amigos Taqueria - Berkeley

Omg you guys saved my life. I had an international flight back to India and I forgot my plane here. I got my phone back because the owner saved it.Loved your food. Super large portions. Totally worth it.

This place is a bit run-down. I was eating my burrito, and there was a whole pebble in my food. I told the employee, and he did not do anything about it. Almost busted my tooth for a below average burrito. Would not recommend.

I had some of the best vegan nachos I've EVER had when I came here to Gordito Amigos while in the neighborhood. I appreciate that they have a separate vegan menu and even prepare the vegan items in a separate area to avoid contamination with animal products.The vegan nachos had the perfect amount of melted vegan cheese, guacamole, and vegan sour cream. I also got it with vegan carne asada which was pretty good. There were also mushrooms not sure if that comes with the vegan nachos themselves or with the carne asada, but that made me EXTRA happy as I love mushrooms. And big plus: the chips managed to stay crunchy for the whole meal, which does not often happen.My family really seemed to enjoy their (non vegan) items (tacos, burrito, quesadilla).I also had their horchata (which happens to be vegan) and it was quite delicious.I also like that you can order ahead of time on Snackpass. Will definitely do that next time I'm in the area, and I'll definitely be getting the vegan nachos again!Vegetarian options: Separate vegan menu and they take care not have cross contamination

BEST VEGAN TACO EVER. The vegan carne asada is the best meat alternative I’ve ever had.

I had high hopes for this place. I got a shrimp burrito and he put maybe 5 shrimp on the stove. I asked for extra salsa and he acted like he didn't hear me. I ended asking again a little more louder and he gave me more. When I ate my chips and salsa the salsa tasted spoiled. I mean I'm almost sure it was spoiled. It probably was the reason he ignored me when I asked for more. I was just very underwhelmed. It was basically a bean and cheese burrito with spoiled salsa.
