Las Gorditas De Don Angel # 7

If you’re craving authentic Mexican flavors in the heart of Cicero, Las Gorditas De Don Angel #7 is a must-visit destination.

At Las Gorditas De Don Angel #7, the menu is a celebration of textures and bold flavors. The Taco Pirata offers a tantalizing twist on classic tacos, while the Gordita De Papá Con Chorizo pairs the earthy sweetness of potatoes with the spicy, smoky depth of chorizo in every bite. If you prefer smoky, tender grilled meats, the Gorditas De Asada Chicharrón En Salsa y De Discada are sure to satisfy. These gorditas come alive with their layers of crispy, melty cheese, savory salsa roja that’s smoky and spicy, and a lighter, zesty green salsa that balances the richness beautifully.

The variety of fillings is impressive, ranging from traditional favorites like Chicharrón, Deshebrada, and Discada to inventive combinations such as Nopales con Huevo en Salsa Roja, Picadillo Verde, and Rajas con Cuajada.

Each gordita is freshly made with a satisfyingly crisp exterior and a tender, flavorful interior that keeps customers coming back for more.

Beyond gorditas, the beverage selection perfectly complements the meal. Traditional Mexican bottled sodas bring a nostalgic fizz, while the variety of aguas frescas—from fruity Jamaica and Guayaba to refreshing Horchata and zesty Limon—offer a cool counterpoint to the warm spices on the plate.

Customers often praise the authenticity and quality here. Lizette Ruiz highlights the good variety of guisados and flavorful salsas, recommending the spot despite limited parking and cash-only policy (though an ATM is conveniently available).
