The food is amazing. You wouldn't think that way since it's in a gas station. Give the a try, and if you like spicy salsa/sauce, say no more!!!

Best quesabirria tacos ever! Every Wednesday I go here, and it’s delicious and fresh almost every time. One time my tacos weren’t that great and they gave me a free high-quality cup with their name on it! Great little place. I highly recommend.

Deceptive pricing. Since I moved out of the south mountain area, I’ve been looking for a good taco shop near me. This was not it. The food is deceptively priced. On the board, the price for what I ordered, carne asada fries, was $13.45 before tax. When I went to the register I was told it’s 15.10. The fact that management has not taken the time to update a significant price increase is incredibly deceptive to customer expectations. Typically I notice when taco shops have price increases, it’s perhaps a dollar off which is normal and indicates adjusting to the economy. A larger increase like this should be noted. Also considering I’ve never paid more than $13.00 for carne asada fries at other taco shops around the valley, this price differential makes me leery. Furthermore, the option on screen includes a drink but there is no pricing option for a la carte without a drink. On the other hand, the food was delicious which is why this is not a one star review.

I normally love this place and I go on taco Tuesdays. I get the ground beef tacos. Last 2 times half of the tacos are over fried in the oil and the shell is all cracked and dark brown and just crumbles. Barely any meat and literally enough cheese that you can count the shreds on one hand. What happened to the quality!

This place is no joke. Taco Tues is for the lame. El Gordo does is right with Taco Wednesday and their Queso Taco. This is hands down one of the best Taco's and the red salsa is fire.

Unacceptable service. No one spoke English, and this girl didn’t know what she was doing. She gave a free refill to someone else and then when my partner went to go get a refill, She said it was a dollar. Also, V actually left the phone and she didn’t even pick it up. She just left it on the table for someone else take it thank goodness we went back. one dude with red hat was amazing

I've always given them 5 stars but this last time the food was absolutely disgusting. We've been getting birria here since they opened and it's always been so delicious. This last time... Everything about the birria was off. Tortillas and birria were dry and tasteless. Such a shame.
