Car broke down so we needed to pass the time and get lunch. Tacos were incredibly tasty! Would definitely recommend and eat again.
Food is delicious and authentic! I’m a driver and pass through here often. I was recommended this place by a friend that stops here for food frequently. I must say they didn’t disappoint. I hope this taco shop lives here forever!! Thank you for the good food it’s so hard to find good food on the road .😊
I walked in after a long drive, and the welcome alone made me feel like I'd arrived somewhere that actually cares about its food. The place has that no-nonsense warmth that makes you want to order everything on the board, and the service kept that good energy going without hovering.
Everything came out fast, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for—nothing fancy, just honest cooking done right. I left with a full stomach and a better mood than I'd arrived with, which...read full review

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.
