Gas station food. You know the ones who risk putting their restaurant inside a gas station and they turn out really good? This is one of those.
Good menu, decent food. A little expensive, but good portions.

This place is a little hidden, attached to the Citgo gas station. Tacos were great, services was fast, place is clean. They only have aguas frescas, however, the gas station has all kinds of drinks. Recommend this place if you're wanting authentic Mexican food. 😋

When I got here, I was not even greeted hello or anything. Just asked me what I wanted in a very rude way, and when I ordered, the food took a long to make and when I got the food, it was cold, and nasty tasting. Tasted like microwave food and found 2 pieces of hair on my tacos. I only ended up eating half of the food I ordered, and threw the rest in the garbage. nasty place, and very rude customer service in the restaurant side

The food tasted off. My stomach started hurting after eating here. Very dirty kitchen. Food tasted old and rotted. Definitely not recommend coming here.

Don't drive past this place just because it's in a gas station! It freaking ROCKS. Carnitas tacos and Al Pastor - delicious!! It's definitely worth stopping.

Tucked away in an unassuming gas station, this small Mexican restaurant offers a delightful foodie surprise. I decided to try their 3-taco dinner, which comes with a side of beans and rice. The meal was a mixed bag, but overall, it left a positive impression.

I ordered two steak tacos and one chicken taco. The steak tacos were the star of the show—perfectly seasoned with a flavorful blend that complemented the tender meat. Unfortunately, the chicken taco didn’t hit the same mark for me. It was seasoned with adobo (I believe), which, while flavorful, just wasn’t my personal preference. The seasoning overpowered the chicken a bit, and I found myself wishing I had stuck with all steak tacos.

The green and red salsas were outstanding—bright, fresh, and packed with flavor. They added a wonderful kick to every bite. The refried beans were creamy and well-seasoned, though they could have been served hotter; they arrived lukewarm, which was a slight letdown. The rice, however, was perfectly cooked and paired nicely with the rest of the meal.

The service was friendly and efficient. My order came out quickly, and the staff was welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Despite the minor hiccup with the chicken taco and the lukewarm beans, this gas station Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem. The steak tacos and salsas alone are worth the visit. If you’re in the mood for a quick, flavorful meal, don’t let the unconventional location deter you—this spot delivers on taste and charm. I’ll definitely be back, though next time, I’m sticking with their steak meat.
