About the Gordito
Gordito means “chubby” in Spanish — and the sandwich earns the name. Crispy bacon gets the top billing, with ham and pernil filling out the stack. Lettuce, tomato, mayoketchup, and Italian bread bring it home.
Among El Punto’s sandwiches, the Gordito is the smokiest. The bacon does most of the work; the pernil keeps it warm and slow-cooked. It’s a Grubhub Best Seller for a reason.

Origin & story
The Gordito belongs to El Punto’s house roster — a riff on the Puerto Rican sandwichera tradition of stacking three meats. Where the Tripleta uses chicken/pork/ham, the Gordito swaps in bacon for breakfast-meets-lunch energy.
