I definitely recommend this place. It's amazing that they can put out such great food in such a tiny kitchen. There were five people working there the day we ate there. Kind of strange going into a convenience store and they have a little restaurant in there with some tables set up on the other side of the store. Will definitely go back again.

If I could give them 8 stars, I would. Amazing food, amazing service. It can only be found by word of mouth. This place was recommended by neighbors, teachers and friends. But we never made until now. We will be frequent visitors now

Protip: this location is inside the BP gas station.

We tried their Al Pastor Pollo and Burria burritos. Both were grilled to perfection with the right ratio of cheese, rice, beans and meat. The burrito held together to the very end, and even held shape and innards when cut in half.

This is a perfect hole in the wall Mexican place with deeply authentic food.

⛽️ Gas Station Gourmet — El Sazón in Eagan Is a Hidden Taco Powerhouse

If you’ve ever doubted that amazing food can come from humble places, let El Sazón in Eagan change your mind — and your lunch plans. Tucked inside a BP gas station, this unassuming taqueria is run by Chef Christian De Leon, a passionate chef with years of experience in professional kitchens. He made the bold decision to branch out and open his own spot, and let me tell you — it was the right move.

What Chef Christian is doing here goes way beyond “good for a gas station.” These tacos are the real deal — the kind that stop you mid-bite with a quiet “whoa.”

I went straight for the carnitas, and I might never look back. Juicy, flavorful, and fall-apart tender, they pack a serious punch. There’s a richness to the pork that tells you it’s been slow-cooked with care, not rushed out of a steam tray. And while the tortillas do their job, the carnitas bring so much juice that I strongly recommend eating them on-site. Don’t risk the drive — this taco is best enjoyed hot and fresh, with napkins nearby.

While I didn’t grab the shrimp tacos this visit, I’ve heard they’re a crowd favorite and definitely worth checking out if you're a seafood fan. It’s on my list for next time.

What makes this place even more impressive is the setting. We’re talking about a make-shift kitchen inside a gas station, but you’d swear you were eating from a full-scale taqueria with a trained crew. That’s the magic of Chef Christian — he brings years of culinary knowledge, flavor intuition, and hustle into every taco.

El Sazón isn’t trying to be flashy — it’s just trying to be great, and that’s exactly what makes it so special. Great food. Great story. Great tacos.

So if you’re in Eagan and want something real, something handmade with love and skill, skip the chain drive-thrus. Pull into that BP station and treat yourself to one of the most satisfying taco experiences in town. Chef Christian took the risk — and now we all get the reward.

The quesabirria tacos were great! The elojte corn was luke warm borderline cold and mushy. Atmosphere, it's located inside a gas station. Food 4/5 because of the corn, otherwise would have been 5.

🤌🤌😋 Some seating is available both indoor and out and they bring your meal out to you. I kind of liked that there was a sink nearby in the corner of the store because I like washing my hands before and after I touch food. Quesabirria tacos were amazingggg. 10/10 I will definitely be back!
