It's Indian Summer here in SF where we get just about 1 week of unusually warm temperature in October.  We don't get much of that around these parts so what do we do?  Grab some food, some drinks, some friends, a couple of beach towels, and hit Ocean Beach.  Gordo Taqueria on Clement St. just minutes away from the beach is one of the many options where you can get something hot, fresh, quick, and of course tasty.

Gordo Taqueria... best bang for your buck.  I was able to afford lunch here when I was 14 and the prices still make it a steal today.  17 years since my first visit and it's still one of the best quick bites around. No matter which of 3 locations you find yourself at they never disappoint. They have been consistent for the 15 years I've been going. There is nothing fancy about their burritos or tacos but you can expect Gordo to give that same great bite you had the last time you were there. That soft heavenly first bite of a large steamed tortilla and melted gooey cheese (with any given burrito anywhere you go... that first bite is always golden if done right) before getting into the goods within. Their meats are marinated well, tender, and never dry. Nothing worse than a burrito with dry protein in it. Their guacamole and salsa is also made fresh. What I wish they would have is those super crunchy mexican tortilla chips... the kind that can stay crunchy for what seems to be forever even when submerged under salsa for hours. 

For under 10 bucks you can score yourself a drink, chips, n super burrito with melted cheese, choice of chicken/steak/chili verde/carnitas, choice of pinto/black/refried beans, fresh pico de gallo, Mexican rice, and sour cream. My personal fave is the Chili Verde (pork) perfectly marinated n tender with cheese, black beans, pico de gallo, and guacamole... on days like these I opt out the rice and sour cream for a healthier meal.
