My all time favorite spot for tacos and Mexican food. Prices are reasonable and the service is fast. It’s definitely a hidden gem type of place nestled inside a gas station in the edge of town… but definitely make this a priority to visit. My favorite wis the gorditas and the meals which can easily feed 2.

The kid at the front of Asian roots I believe, AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE! Can’t tell you how many times he smiled thanked me for my service and twice was told to have a wonderful night. I should mention I’m visiting from Kansas City (go chiefs) so finding a good taco spot out of town is priority no matter where I go. THIS IS THE ONE. Chefs kiss only thing I didn’t like was the tortilla but that’s just me I love the corn tortillas is all. Now to the food. I got 4 asada tacos that were touched with loooove. The meat almost had a bbq-ish taste to it which threw me off but caught my love buds quickly. In my city they’re very… stingy with their sauce. This place let you get your own. I tried 3. I will unshamefully admit I used my fingers to lick the rest of the sauces out even after my tacos were finished. SO GOOD! This place was definitely a hit surely not a miss. And to find out theirs more than one location! I’ll be back before I head home to the lack is sauces !

Best Mexican food in PA. PERIOD. You can't go wrong with anything there, but I loved the carnita (pork) tacos, and if pork isn't for you, the quesabirria tacos with the consume (even though they cost extra) was amazing. They also have a large selection of sauces to make your tacos as spicy as you want. ?

By far the best Mexican food in State College. My family has been going there and getting food from there for years.

Guy at register worked very hard. The food was cold and soooooo greasy you had to use napkins to soak up the grease so you could eat it. I am not sure if it was because it was a football weekend and busy but I would not go back and eat here.

The most authentic Mexican food in State College. Best of the few restaurants that serve "Mexican" food in the area.

Unpretentious but REALLY tasty food. We went to get lunch. Went to the wrong address first and almost had given up. But found the right place. Not crowded by the time we got there. Food was excellent. Service was good. Order and pay. Find your own seats kind of place. I particularly loved their green cilantro sauce. The crowd was a mix of college students and Hispanic folks. Few vegetarian options but seemed authentic. I recommend! Enjoy!

This place is the definition of "dive," and I love it. The prices are good, and the food is authentic and excellent. Don't be fooled by the gas station. It's worth the trip outside the town.
