Gorditas Don Elver Express – Midland – Menu

Gorditas Don Elver Express sits in the longtime “El Burrito” spot on North Big Spring, carrying forward decades of Midland breakfast and lunch tradition under a fresh banner. From 6 AM each weekday (8 AM on Saturdays) until the early‑afternoon close at 2 PM, owner Don Elver and his team turn out warm, handmade gorditas and burritos on corn or flour tortillas—stuffed with classic fillings like asado, chile pasadocon queso, chicharrón verde, frijoles con queso, mole, nopales and picadillo, alongside crowd‑pleasers like al pastor, barbacoa and even Philly cheese‑steak. Fans of the old El Burrito will feel right at home with breakfast plates (huevos rancheros, migas, chilaquiles) and the Saturday‑only menudo special, while newcomers can sample “combo plates” that pair eggs with your choice of meat, beans and tortillas for under $12.

Beyond gorditas, the menu branches out into appetizers (fresh chips and salsa, guacamole or queso dip), hearty entrées (crispy taco plates, fajita burritos and Tex‑Mex combination platters), and a full selection of “Don Elver Omelette” and pancakes for those looking to linger over coffee and refills of fountain drinks or Mexican aguas frescas. Midday diners can also pick from plates like the guisado platter, chicken flautas, taco salads or nachos—each served with beans, rice and a simple salad garnish—making it easy to feed the family or grab a quick solo lunch.

Though the Big Spring location is the flagship, Gorditas Don Elver Express has expanded to a second branch by the Walmart at 210 W Longview Ave, so regulars have two convenient spots for a fast, flavorful bite. Whether you’re craving embossed flavors of slow‑braised barbacoa or the comforting hug of eggs and chorizo wrapped in a plump gordita, Gorditas Don Elver continues the El Burrito legacy with friendly service, authentic Mexican homestyle cooking, and hearty portions that keep Midland coming back morning after morning.
