This little Taqueria is inside a gas station, and like so many little dives like this, it's run by a family that's been obviously cooking this as thier way of life and you can taste the authenticity. If you've been to the real Mexico, not a resort /vacation spot, you've had real Mexican cuisine and this is what we had here. Large portions and delicious. Made when you order it right in front of you, I got 5 different meats street Tacos and washed it down with ice cold Horchata.
The service was very good aswell as the inside of the restaurant. Food was phenomenal. The place was up kept very well and kept clean. Overall very good.
I went there for lunch. I got in and out reasonably quick and the food was GREAT!!
One of my new favorite places to order delivery from. The green chile tacos are amazing. And if you're on your way to work, stop in for breakfast tacos or burritos the size of your arm.
Great food have never had anything bad from there. I love the bacon cheeseburger it is really good. Another thing to try is the chicken quesadillas😋😋
A frequent delivery (door dash) customer of them,for some reason they're not available in doordash anymore.hope to see you soon
The Taqueria is inside of a corner store that have some questionable people around the store. Overall, for my first time going, the food was very fresh, cooks were polite. I got 2 El Pastor tacos and a Quesa Brirra tacos. They were delicious, both tacos were juicy with a hint of spice, had a great flavor to them. I would go again. Just be careful and alert of the people hanging around the store.

I've ordered twice via GrubHub/Uber Eats, and both times I was happily surprised. I knew nothing about this place, I just saw that it was nearby and had low prices, so I decided to give it a shot. The food is quite heavy in terms of oil and such, but it is delicious for the price. Very pleased with the barbacoa tacos, chicken tacos, and the alhambre. This is not the Mexican restaurant you choose for a special occasion, it's the restaurant you choose for inexpensive, good-tasting food when you're in a hurry. And it's perfect for that. Definitely recommend it.
I was a little confused when i arrived at this place at first. Because when I looked it up. i thought it was a restaurant but it's actually inside a gas station. but don't get me wrong i still try it. the food was good and fast to get. i recommend the birria tacos.
Great place to eat menudo was my choice and delicious
Food was good , little bit pricey , the Dr Pepper cos 279 small bottle charge me $3 dollars not recommended
This quick-service place is inside a gas station mini mart at a busy intersection near Interstate 820. Menu prices are reasonable. The burrito that I ordered tasted good enough and was huge for $6.50. Both the cook and cashier did not speak much English.

It was ok. This place was only 2 minutes from my hotel, so it was quick and easy.

When I arrived there were 5 or 6 what appeared to be homeless people hanging around out front. The two tables were dirty. Ordered an asada torta. Some of the meat had an unusual texture. Never saw them put meat on griddle. The tables were cleaned before my torta was ready. Not the greatest.

I didn't know you could make barbacoa dry , but this place found a way. There was absolutely no juice at all. Although I'm not convinced it wasn't just pot roast . The asada and pastor were also equally dry and no flavor. I don't know how this place has so many stars. These were not good tacos. Not at all.

The worst tacos I ever had
Haven’t had this place after a couple of disasters with Door Dash, whom blamed them for my orders not being delivered. Decided to stop after work the other day and wax immediately approached by a homeless person asking for money. Not really a problem, but there were a few of them just milling around. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t as good as I once experienced. Very bland, and just NOT good. I ordered a carnitas burrito and the pork tasted like chicken, and had a weird smell to it. I ended up just throwing it away and felt nauseous the rest of the night. Not sure what happened to the place, but the food was better about four years ago. What a shame.
The blandest food I ate was better while sick with covid than these six tacos I paid $16.00 for.
