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.

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.

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...
