Gordo Steak, a new carne-asada-focused steakhouse from the Asadero team, is now searing steaks in Pioneer Square with a grill-first menu built around cuts like a Ribeye Asada. The compact spot leans into shareable plates, tacos and mezcal-heavy cocktails, aiming to be a downtown go-to for steak and late-night bites.
Ribeye and the carne asada focus
As reported by KING5, the restaurant zeroes in on a Ribeye Asada and pairs it with handcrafted salsas and mezcal-driven drinks, with a clear emphasis on food coming hot off the grill. The KING5 segment, which aired May 21, shows the team plating the signature steak and shaking up cocktails.
What's on the menu
The official menu lists a Ribeye Asada described as "grilled to juicy perfection and sliced thin," alongside picanha, New York strip, arrachera and shareable tomahawk plates. Cocktails skew mezcal-forward, including a Spicy Mezcalita, and sides run from papas bravas to bone marrow, according to the Gordo Steak menu.
Where it sits in Pioneer Square
Local roundups have tagged Gordo as a long-awaited addition to Pioneer Square, with Seattle Met including the opening in a spring neighborhood food news lineup. Early review coverage also points out the tight quarters, and The Infatuation calls the space snug and suggests diners be ready for lines on busy nights.
Practical details
Gordo Steak lists hours from Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and asks guests to hop on a waitlist through its website during peak hours, according to the restaurant's Gordo Steak location page. For now, it is another meat-centric option in a neighborhood that has been steadily filling in with new kitchens and late-night choices.
