Asia and Pepe run a phenomenal business. Their food, first and foremost, is fantastic. They took into account what our parties interests were and developed a tailored menu, customized to perfection. Not only was the food great, but it was priced fairly. Asia and Pepe delivered the food to us over two consecutive days. The food was warm and ready to eat at the predetermined times. They have incredible energy and their vibes were on point to engage with their customers. I would recommend them without any reservations. They made an extremely important part of my cousins bachelor party stress free. Thank you, Mijo Gordito! -Joe Davies

Yesterday I visited Mijo Gordito for the first time. I was really impressed by the creativity that went into every menu item. My best description would be a cross culture fusion of flavor doubling as a therapy session at the table. The location is perfect. The chefs obviously have a lot of talent and heart for what they do which comes across not only in their dishes but in their modus vivendi of cooking whatever feels right to them. I'm excited to keep up with them for future exciting tastings and highly recommend you check them out!

Finally got a chance to try their delicious looking breakfast burritos and it didn’t disappoint. Had their homemade chorizo and the addition of their nice and spicy hot sauce was delicious!

Some of the most tasty bites in town tucked into an unassuming hole in the wall in the Shops at Fatherland. I've been wanting the bigass burrito since the moment I laid eyes on it on social media. It was everything I've dreamed of and more with tender pastor, stupid delicious rice and beans, pulled together with saucy goodness and encapsulated in a majestic cheese and jalapeño encrusted tortilla. Also got to try the mornay mac n' cheese balls. Delicious crispity crunchy outside of ooey gooey savory inside. Dipped into the tomato soup, it was delectable. I can't wait to go back and try every menu item these folks think of! On top of being taste masters, they are also gracious and warm hosts.

The burrito is a must obviously, everyone loves it but the best is when they surprise you with off menu items. Get a burrito but don't miss out on everything else too.
