Best Burritos in Marquette Park & West Lawn
Master Critic Review
Gordillas
7.9
A gordita-first shop where burritos are a strong secondary lane—simple builds, clear pricing, and a menu that rewards sticking to one or two proteins. Best for takeout: burrito plus a gordita (or two) when you want variety without a complicated order.

Burrito Orig, Burritos Norteños, Eggs with Mexican Sausage Burrito
