El Forastero Mexican Food is a taqueria located in a gas station, seen as a great and welcome addition to the area. It is described as a "plastic plate" Mexican place with really great, authentic food made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant is noted for being super clean, inviting, and having nice decor.
Specific meals praised include the carne asada fries, with crispy fries and delicious meat, and the shredded beef burrito packed with flavor. The street tacos, including carne asada, carnitas, and birria, are super tasty, with fresh, juicy, tender, and very flavorful meat served in heavy portions. The rice and beans are also good. An all-you-can-eat self-serve chips and salsa bar is a bonus treat.
Prices are viewed as very fair for the area, though some note they seem a little high, specifically mentioning Jarritos drinks. The space has self-serve fountain drinks. A small critique mentions that the cilantro sometimes has hard stem pieces. The establishment is considered a far better option than the Burger King it replaced.
