I actually lived in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood for about a year in my early twenties - I absolutely loved it even though I lived right on 85th just a block west of Gordito's. Greenwood had everything I needed at the time: a Pizza Hut practically right next door, Fred Meyer and a grocery store right across the street from me, but two of my very favorites at the time? Top Ten Toys and Gordito's. I was a single mom at the time and my daughter loved that toy store and one order from Gordito's could feed us for three days when money was tight.
I will have to check in to see if Top Ten Toys is still there or not with all of the construction plans for Greenwood, but I know for a fact that Gordito's is still there! I recently stopped in for the first time in ages. I have been eating at Gordito's since they had a smaller restaurant space across the street in 1996. I love their Vegetarian Spinach burrito and have really only ordered that off the menu. Even when I moved to Ballard and then the Seattle suburbs, I still made the pilgrimage to Gordito's. My daughter drives now and plans on making that trek herself at times.
I highly recommend Gordito's if you are ever around Greenwood! I think it is just one of the best jewels in a wonderful neighborhood.

The real question is: Can you eat an entire Gordito's burrito by yourself? Those things are huge. I admit I have done it before, but I am out of practice.
Ya right:) No way! That is a three meal portion!
So many folks in Greenwood keep telling me to check this place out, I will have to make a point to go out there soon since it's not too far from where I live. Glad to know they have vegetarian burritos!
Sarah - their vegetarian spinach buritos are the asolute bomb! Order it wet and spicy and be prepared for it to last three meals even without ordering the jumbo sized version. I think they are on holiday right now or just got back so call first before you go...
