Hasn't been much discussion of Los Gorditas lately. Just a reminder that they are open for business in the winter. I stopped several times last winter when it was very cold and they had a kerosene heater setup setup within an enclosed tent and it was not too bad. Below is a previous post from the owner. If you get a craving and the weather is bad you may want to call first if you are driving a good distance. Also, they are not there on Monday's during the winter. The food is as good as ever!

Hi folks, Let me take a moment to introduce ourselves. My name is Pat Costas, and my wife is Esperanza. She is a great cook by the way which is how we ended up doing what we do now. We started very small, (hot dog cart style). Within a year the demand for more hispanic food promted us to get a trailer which would allow us to prepare more different versions of Mexican foods. We never really expected to become as busy as we have become thanks to you our customers.
From the posts I have read on here I would like to address the concerns which have been posted. I myself would much rather eat at a place which is clean. Thus the reason for needing a health department license. In order to have a mobile food service license we do have to meet certain criteria very similar to a restaurant. We are required to be fully self contained, which we are. In other words we need to be able to cook, clean and sanitize everything in the trailer itself. We have all the equipment to do so. The last thing in the world we want is for someone to become sick because of our food. We do everything we can to ensure that will not happen.
Also, when are we there? We are open Fridays by 6:00 PM, Saturdays by 5:00 PM, Sundays By 3:00 PM and now Mondays by 6:00 PM. Closing time is 11:00 PM or when customers stop coming, whichever is later. We have been known to be there until 1 in the morning. Hey if people are still hungry may as well feed them right?
Also in regards to Gorditas and no lettuce or tomatoe. A gordita typically is served with beans, meat and cheese. However, if a customer wants lettuce, tomato, cilantro or pico de gallo on their gordita, we are happy to oblige. Just let us know. We are here to accomodate. I know when I eat somewhere I may have special preferences and undertand other people do too.
The last thing I would like to say for now is in regards to us not being there sometimes. That does not happen very often, however it can happen. The only reason we may not be there is weather. We do have to travel 20 miles or so pulling the trailer. In bad weather that can be a bit dangerous. We are not willing to chance it in high winds, severe thunderstorms, or very frigid temperatures. Other than that we are always there. Please feel free to call to see if we are open at 502-492-0112.
We look forward to serving each and everyone of you for may times to come.
