This review is of the taqueria - the shrimp tacos were excellent! We got them without cheese to better taste the shrimp, and I'd recommend that. The team behind the counter were great too. Yum! I'll be back.

Great workers always say “Hello! There food is delicious and the best tacos ever. If I ever need catering for a party they will be the ones to do it.
This store has some good food. The Taqueria is inside the store, I like that they have tripas cuz a lot of places dont make any. It's close to the light rail, another plus.
Their tacos and burritos are the best for such a little place. The prices are a little high in the store section but the food is great.
Tacos we're especially tasty. Variety of ingredients is excellent and service is fast and efficient. Surroundings aren't particularly appealing but you will be glad you chose their food.

It's a convenience store you can even fill up your water gallons here. At first floor in apartment complex

It is next to the light rail very easy to get to the light rail staying in a good burrito very fat burrito real good everything on it that you would like to have on it there is three different kinds of meat that can go on this burrito you can ask for hot or mild sauce on it
Their tacos de asada are great. Friendly customer service. It is a quick mini market- order to go always. A 5 minute walk from the train station.
I'm grateful for the convenient location when I need to grab a quick cold one. Whats not convenient is they will not let me take my puppy in with. I even groom him daily. My dog is cleaner and more better behaved than most of their customers. Dog's are a must have in this town. I don't trust people who don't agree.
They make the Tastiest little corn tortilla street taco quesadillas I have ever had. The salsa is great too. The liquor store itself is rather basic. Check the mural in the parking lot. Go Sharks!

Tacos Al pastor were really good. And so are the tacos de tripa. The tacos de carnitas were not good. The meat was all shredded, not the typical carnitas texture. Only 3 stars for that. There customer service is not good either. Another reason for the 3 stars. The girl tried to be nice but had no people skills. Not even a thank you or please.
Nice store and friendly staff. Seriously need to upgrade their food inventory and beer selection. But it's a liquor store in an area without many liquor stores.

Prices are never consistent. So don't go into the store again getting the same stuff u gou last visit and assume the total will be the same as last visit. In one day you can buy the same exact stuff visiting 3 times and be charged a different amount each time. Sometimes the last payment you are charged will be less than the prior to. I once was charged 60 cents for a bag

I left my wallet on the counter of this place and when I came back to get it they refused to give it back to me. One of the weirdest interactions in my life. I checked my credit card statement the next day and the employee had used it at a gas station down the road. Do not go here. These people are thieves.
MACED US 3x's OUTSide of store! Bc I wasn't going to pay for a chili bottle that finally fell after balancing on the edge of the shelf. Just bc it fell near me don't mean I am responsible to pay! HOWEVER! Mexican restaurant there is great!
These people are thieves they took my ebt card and charged hundreds of dollars on it. So stupidly the card was used in Houston Texas 10 mins after a transaction from their store stay away from this racist store
I can't say anything about the taqueria but the cashier is unbearably rude. Asked for a bag and he looks at me with disgust and throws my cans into the bag. Like literally throwing them in. Surprised none of the cans popped. Store is conveniently close for me but with the service you get from the cashier, id stay avoiding this store.
I didn’t ask for recite, but the worker wrinkled it up and threw it towards me on the counter. I just left it there and as i walked out, he yelled if i wanted the recite. I ignored and he yelled again and i said No. I'm not picking something up that is thrown rudely.
Should be given the option with negative stars. This place does not deserve any. Clerk was very rude. Threw my receipt at me after purchase. Oh, and be careful drinking straight from any cans in this store. He grabs the top, sweaty palms right on the sip part of the can. Should have left my trash at their front door.
