Gorditas

My husband and I have been venturing to this food stand for many years now and we always make a point to stop and grab their Gorditas. We can’t find these anywhere else in the Austin area and find it a special treat when we venture to the Market in San Antonio. I’ve always had the chicken and my husband gets the beef and our daughter has had the been & cheese. Both are amazing! Not quite sure how they’re able to make the corn tortilla withstand all that yummy goodness, because it’s so delicious!

As you walk down commerce, try stopping at the gordita stand at the intersection with main st. The gentleman behind the counter is very nice and easy to joke with.
They offer beef, chicken, bean and cheese, and chicharrone (pork skin). With those choices, I have to go for chicharrone. I rarely see that option and I’m curious if they can pull it off. The gordita bread was prepared well with it being slightly think, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside, but strong enough to hold all the ingredients. Your choice of additions are avacado, and tomato. Don’t forget the pico de gallo and salsa on the counter, both great additions. The chicharrone was prepared nicely, crispy, porky flavor, very nice.
I wish I could have tried more, but there was no way I could have eaten anymore. I wish they had other pork options as well as tripe giving more choice and some bizarre options.
Enjoy!
