Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Wichita has a lot of bad "Mexican" places, but this is not one of them. Gorditas Durango is definitely one of the best I've had the pleasure of trying. I really enjoy authentic Mexican food, and Gorditas Durango satisfies that craving. The food is fairly simple but the flavors are big and the salsa verde is quite good. The prices are very inexpensive with most items costing $2 to $5. Gorditas and tacos are $2 each so it's easy to try several different things at once. I recommend the barbacoa gordita with salsa verde and the sope with rajas y queso (peppers and cheese), and the tacos al pastor. The taco's corn tortillas taste fresh and home made, which in and of itself is worth $2 in my opinion. The tacos are smaller than the gordita, but that's the traditional way of preparing them. If you've ever had authentic Mexican tacos you'll know what I mean. This place is awesome and I really hope they stay open. I'll be giving them more business for sure.

Weekends are busy at Gorditas Durango: the limited number of tables in the small restaurant quickly fill, and there's often a line of people at the register waiting to place an order or pay for their food. The owners have been running restaurants in Wichita for over fifteen years - most recently the 21st Street Carry Out, which closed in 2011 - and the confident and esoteric flavors they're producing help them stand out from the majority of Wichita Mexican restaurants. If the name wasn't a big enough hint, taking a look at what's on each of the tables should tell you the specialty of the house. Translated as "little fat one," the gordita is a thick tortilla stuffed with a variety of different meats. It's made from masa, or in northern Mexico - especially Durango - it's made with wheat flour, making it more akin to a pita. In neither case is it the loose flatbread and ground beef that defines the average gordita at certain fast food restaurants. This is better. Any true Mexican restaurant is defined by their taco (and gordita) fillings. The delicious barbacoa and carnitas that serves as the backbone of most places represent well here, though Gorditas Durango has plenty to be proud of in the radioactive red and green colors of the guisados, glistening with pork fat, and a big burst of earthiness and acidity that comes from chiles and limes. The dough isn't strong enough to hold up to their gravies, and your fingers will come away stained as a result. You won't mind. Guisados are not easily found in Wichita, and it may be even harder to find fillings such as rajas (poblanos and cheese), picadillo (minced meat), and chicharron (fried pork skin), so take advantage of them here. The flour gorditas hold together well and serve as a perfect pocket for their fillings. The corn versions are even better: two conjoined disks of dough are fried on the griddle, making them crunchy and an excellent contrast to the soft and tender meat. They don't hold the fillings as well as the flour version, but it's worth suffering through a little extra mess. As is the case for many Mexican restaurants, Gorditas Durango has an expansive picture menu dominating the wall behind the register, but it serves as a means to detract from the star of the show. As long as you're putting some kind of meat into some kind of a tortilla, you won't choose wrong.

The food here is excellent. Seasoned and cooked well, served up hot. People who eat a lot of international food in this town know how difficult it is to find a place that does rice well. Gorditas does rice well! They are affordable, friendly, and know how to cook some serious Mexican food. The space itself is not great by any means, but they are making it work, for sure. I think you just have to have appropriate expectations when wanting to dine in. The seating is very limited, and it is not a very clean dining area at all. The amazing food, and the cold, glass-bottle Coke make you forget that though. Gorditas truly is my go-to Mexican joint. Truly authentic. Truly tasty.

I'm currently living in California, but this is my go-to mexican place when I'm in town. California has nothing on gorditas durango's gorditas, and my personal favorite, sopes. Don't let its' looks deter you, your mouth will rejoice in all the flavors offered here. Superb!
