Lucy’s Gorditas

After a trip to Mexico earlier this year, I was excited to see a local shop dedicated to gorditas, especially one with such high reviews. If you're driving to the shop, be aware you'll want to make your approach heading east to west as there isn't really a good way to park in front without making an awkward u-turn if you're going west to east.I couldn't really make sense of the menu from the photos I saw online at the time, so I decided to place my order when I got there. It was clear immediately that this is a family operation as I could tell there were parents and kids involved, and along with that, they made me feel very welcome.I ordered the 3 gorditas combo with a side of the pasta. Honestly I wasn't that surprised that the pasta was nothing special - I've had similar in the past and I guess it's not any more disappointing than a typical meal with potato salad or something. A nice treat was that they brought me a sample of some ceviche they were making while I waited for my order. It was beyond fresh and the flavors were so bright and delicious.The gorditas were something else. The masa had some interesting bounce to it, not in a bad way, just unexpected. I got the bean and cheese, the chorizo, and the ground beef (picadillo rojo). They were all really good. The chorizo was different than I expected, but still tasty, and I remember the beef having really good flavor. The bean and cheese was a gooey ball of goodness.The prices are reasonable, the people are friendly, and the food is good. I'd love to come back for more.

6/28/24 Getting lunch!! Cut little place. Spanish music playing. Ordered the chipotle chicken combo with Lucy's pasta. The worker was kind. Knew she didn't know much. She sent back & asked. Li Paid for the order and waited for it to be ready. Lots of Spanish decor. Tables and chairs inside if you want to eat inside. Cool air.The order was made quickly & handed over with a smile. Lunchtime! Chipotle chicken Gordita was Really DELICIOUS! Tender, tasty shredded chicken in it! Nice spice to it & the hot sauce included on the side made it even better!! Lucy's pasta was Great! Tasty!It also came with fresh salad. One is plenty. Leftovers! Good service & GREAT lunch!! Highly recommended!!

Had this place in my bookmarks for a few weeks, and so excited that I finally got to try it! It's a small eatery off of Clinton for to-go orders only.The workers were super kind and helped give us recommendations. We ended up getting a 3 gordita combo with chorizo, chicharron, and picadillo rojo and a 2 gorditas combo with frijoles & rajas. The combo adds a side, and if you're getting the 2 gordita combo ends up being the same price as 2 ala carte.We took the food to City College for a picnic as there's no table seating inside. I enjoyed the frijoles as the beans were very creamy and paired well with the salsa. The rajas was OK, mainly tasting of peppers and cheese. I realized after the fact that I didn't taste any corn, and I do think corn would have given it that extra flavor boost that was missing. My fiance enjoyed his gorditas, and was really vibing with the chicharron. That one was very saucy and flavorful, so much that sauce is dripping all over his hands.Great picnic food made with care, and even better value! One downside is that they have limited hours and are closed by 3 or 5 depending on the day.

The food was pretty good. It felt like an actual home cooked meal. They aren't huge but it's actually nice for a change. I had the 3 gordita combo to try all of the proteins...only one I didn't try was the chicken. They were all okay but the chicharron was amazing. I'd definitely come back for that one alone. Prices are great too. My drink could have used more ice as it stayed warm but he was nice enough to offer refills. He also gave my daughter a candy which was greatly appreciated. The sides need work as the pasta is bland. Giving a 5 just because of how nice the people were. Wish the salsa was spicier too..the green one was the better of the two

There's corn gorditas and flour gorditas. Each has different price now with corn $3.50 each and flour $5 each. They taste great. The pickled onions and the cabbage are great that they provide on the side along with green and red hot sauce. Might be a little hard to spot the small shop; parking is parallel parking on street or can find parking further away.

Killing time at the VA across the street, so I went for a walk and saw this little cute place. The menu was very simple as they only sell Gorditas; hence the name. The gentleman was very polite who took my order and I had my Chorizo Gordita within minutes. The price was fair and one was a great snack! Thank you guys so much! Next time I'm around the area I will pop in!

Returning customer here to rate Lucy's Gorditas 5/5 again! The food is absolutely delicious and the workers are so friendly. Food is fresh and made to order, so expect to wait around 10-15 min depending on who's ahead of you. Everything is takeout and they offer Door Dash as well. Vegetarian options include bean & cheese and rajas. I brought my own container with me to reduce takeout waste, and the workers happily put my gorditas in it :) I'll be back soon I'm sure!

Food is always delicious - I always get the chicharrón & rajas gorditas with beans.The workers are always very nice.Reminds me of Durango, MX.

Went here for lunch today with my co-worker, I had no Idea it was here. But as soon I saw it, I did my yelp review and I was very impressed. My co-worker bought the chicharron gordita and I bought the bean and cheese gordita. It was really good, the tortilla was fresh and fluffy the beans were cooked perfectly. Also Grace has great customer service. She had a smile the whole time and just lit up the place her smile. I will definitely come back again. Thank you

This place is so delicious, it's a little hard to park because it's on the side of a busy street (Clinton) but worth the stop, I recommend to order ahead of time so you don't have to wait much, because it's two ladies working the place, very sweet and helpful. The place is small and very clean, you can see them making your orders in the back, no tables to sit and eat, just order and go. Fresh made to order, my favourites are the chorizo, and queso con raja and corn, so yummy! The red salsa that comes with it is not overly spicy, more for flavor, it compliments the gorditas. I also really like their sopa, that's one of the sides they offer. Anyways come check this mom pop shop out and let me know how you liked them, I go at least twice a month, super affordable, 2 gorditas combo mix and match for under 8 bucks.
