Gorditas el Durango serves traditional Mexican cuisine inside of PLAZA DEL SOL at 990 Payne Ave. St. Paul MN. Gordita means "chubby" in English and the name fits the dish, which is a corn or wheat pastry filled with meat and/or vegetables. Gorditas el Durango offers over 10 filling options along with other traditional Mexican dishes. We value giving our customers an experience from our own hometown. "I named the restaurant after Durango and put a map of Durango in the restaurant to represent the authentic taste of Durango". -Manuel Rutiaga, owner of the restaurant.

Went near closing time and the owner gave us an extra Gordita on the house! Really lovely place, barbacoa was on par with best I've had. Reasonably priced, homemade good food.
Love Gorditas El Durango - we are now regulars! Everything is made to order so yes it takes time, but your belly will be full of homemade goodness. I get the bean and cheese flour gorditas, and the deschebrada burrito!
Went here after I was ignored by the nasty folks over at the Marquez Grill, and it was really good food and service.
Give this place the love it deserves, y'all. Dine in or order online and pick up - great for a quick lunch spot especially if you order ahead. Delicious!
Not only the Gorditas are good.. the quesadillas stuffed with barbacoa and cheese were delicious! I highly recommend this place! And for sure keep coming here. I have came across the Market many times, that finally I had the time to try out the food! And surely will come back again! Don't miss out on the food! ,cause you don't find this kind of authentic food anywhere.
