Last updated: 2026-06-09 ## What Makes the Gordo Super Burrito Worth the Line {#what-makes-the-gordo-super-burrito-worth-the-line} Gordo Taqueria has been serving the San Francisco Bay Area since 1977, and the Super Burrito is the menu item that keeps people coming back decade after decade. It's not complicated — it doesn't need to be. A generous flour tortilla, steamed and folded around your choice of protein, rice, beans, pico de gallo, and finished with guacamole and sour cream. That's the formula. It works. ### Build Your Super Burrito Every Super Burrito starts with a base of rice and your choice of beans — **pinto, black, or refried** — plus pico de gallo. Then you pick your protein: - **Chicken** — grilled or boiled, your call - **Carnitas** — a house favorite, slow-cooked and rich - **Carne Asada (Beef)** — seasoned, tender, and savory - **Chile Verde** — the one that'll make you wish your stomach were bigger - **All Meat** — for when you're not picking just one - **Veggie** — praised by vegetarians across the Bay Guacamole and sour cream are available add-ons (charged separately), and **spinach tortilla** is an option if you want a twist on the classic flour wrap. ### The Gordo Difference One thing regulars notice: the tortilla is **steamed with the cheese** until it's perfectly melted before everything gets folded in. It's a small detail that makes a big difference in texture and flavor. No shortcuts, no assembly line of cold ingredients. Just fast, consistent counter-service the way Gordo's has always done it. Whether you've been eating here since the '80s or you're walking in for the first time, the Super Burrito is the same reliable meal it's always been. As one longtime customer put it: *"I used to go to this place in the 80s and also in the 90s... glad to report it was just as good [in] 2025."* ## Everything You Need to Know Before You Order {#everything-you-need-to-know-before-you-order} A quick rundown of what to expect when you order a Gordo Super Burrito — no surprises, no fluff. - **Five Bay Area Locations** — Pick up at **College Ave (Berkeley)**, **Solano Ave (Albany)**, **Clement St**, **9th Ave**, or **Geary Blvd** in San Francisco.
