Day 21: Gordo

There are three Gordo locations in San Francisco: one on Clement, one on 9th ave, and one on Geary. While the Gordo on 9th is undoubtedly my favorite, I dine at the one on Geary most frequently (it is close to one of the hospitals I spend a generous amount of time at). With my first two Gordo posts coming from 9th ave, I decided it was time to give Gordo Geary a chance to shine. As the years have passed, Gordo Geary has done a great job playing catch-up with its big brother. In the past, Gordo 9th was so superior I would long for that locations taco guys to share whatever secret they were keeping from their taco brethren across the city. Now, tacos from both locations taste almost identical. The differences are so subtle that a taco novice would be hard pressed to believe they were made by two different people, yet alone at two different locations. Alas, I have been cursed with such a highly developed taco palate that I will always be able to discern the intangible nuances that make Gordo 9th the pinnacle of the taco world. That being said, two chicken tacos with guac and jalapenos from Gordo Geary today were the perfect lunch for a beautiful Indian Summer Wednesday in the city.
