I wanted to try a new place in Galveston and saw Gorditas off of the Seawall. So glad I stopped in. The best mole I have had in quite a while. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. We have a new traditional Mexican go to place. Super stoked to share it with my Wife.

What a pretty patio. Directly across from the beach! Plus, the patio was dog-friendly. The food was good, not going to knock your socks off good but, good Mexican. I had a corona and the fish tacos. The red salsa was delicious, and the green is super extra hot! If you like hot, you'll love it! Cheers!

The food was absolutely amazing. Music wasn't loud and the service was nice. Cozy place to eat. Plus, it didn't even take too long to get the food! I'm from Houston and it usually takes 40 to an hour to receive the meal, but it felt like 20 minutes when we got the order and it was delicious!

For brunch yesterday before we left town to head home I couldn’t leave Galveston without trying this spot out. I had to try out the steak “carne asada,” medium well. Delicious and I highly recommend. Next time illl try the fajitas steak and shrimp.

Love the outdoor patio area. Really great ocean view even though across the street can sit and enjoy the view. Open seating to sit where you want (love that). Quick and friendly staff. Liked their chips were warmed. Got the beef burrito and chicken tacos. Was good. What would make it better is fresh made chips, margaritas (no bar drinks just bottled beer), and hotter food… but the quick and friendly staff and the view made it enjoyable and nice! Thanks!
