The food was great. I got a breakfast taco for $3.89 (I think) and it was loaded with fillings (I got egg, sausage, potato, and shredded cheese). The tortilla itself was very good. It felt and tasted homemade.
The service was pretty mid. I started off with a man, and I don't know if he was new or what, but he either absolutely did not know what to do or was pretending to be incompetent to get out of doing work.
First, he had to get help from the woman who was working to even start making the taco. After she said to put the sausage and egg onto the tortilla (kinda wild that he didn't know to do that), instead of putting the sausage on the tortilla, he started breaking it up into the egg container (so maybe don't eat here if you're a strict vegetarian, lol). She noticed what he was doing and verbally corrected him (with very clear instructions) and he just kinda gave up and walked away, so she had to take over. She was clearly frustrated, which is totally understandable given she was already doing other work. I hope she sees this review and knows that she was totally valid to be frustrated, because what do you mean you don't know how to make a taco?!
If this guy is a new employee, he needs someone to train him better. But also, if he gets so confused about scooping prepared food into a prepared tortilla, maybe he needs a role with different responsibilities.

This is in an Exxon Station that’s a 7-11. They pre-make many of their popular items and keep them in a warmer up front when you enter. They also have a full kitchen, grill, order-taking area in the back. I simply got a chorizo and egg sandwich from the warmer, but I asked the girl at the grill for their spicy salsa, which she said was their verde.
The salsa was very nice… had a slight kick and tasted good. The sandwich was nice. It was freshly made soon before I got it from the warmer.
The staff here was friendly. And if you’re staying in the Aloft or Hilton Garden Inn – This place is in the parking lot of both.

I think I had a more positive experience than some other reviewers. We gave Laredo Taco a try for the first time while in Ashburn visiting relatives. Who would have thought that a good taco stand was in a 7-11? We had the chicken tacos and the steak tacos. The dough was pre-made but fresh and then onto the flattop for browning. The ingredients were fresh as well--tasty meat, crunchy peppers. Choice of garnishes and salsas. We did the 2 for $7 which included a Big Gulp drink, and had no hassle from the cashier on pricing. Looking forward to our next trip to Ashburn area to try them again. Skip the fried chicken--eat the tacos! BTW, our taco maker was quite helpful and we loved her service.

They have a person named Ali who claims to be the store manager. He is harsh in words and unprofessional in dealing with customers. This will be my last visit to this place.
I don’t know why I have to argue with the two managers/owners of the gas station to get the advertised deal of 2 tacos with a drink for $7. They often ring it up at full price or tell me that my taco fillings aren’t eligible despite the advertised price not mentioning a price difference. Really tired of dealing with them or having to ask about their advertised deal. Seems like they want to nickel and dime you. They will get whatever money they can out of you.

I stumbled across this place a couple of months ago and now me and my sons are here every weekend like clockwork. The tortillas are made fresh in front of us and all the meats and sides are consistently good. My wife likes the chicken, one son likes the steak, The other the shrimp, and I always get the carnitas. It's a really good value for what you're getting and the staff is always friendly. These are not gas station burritos. They're great burritos that happen to be in a gas station. Highly recommend this.

I knew that some 7-11s in Texas had these thanks to a Mikey Chen YouTube video, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this one in VA. The flour tortillas are hand-rolled right in front of you, which definitely sets the tacos here apart from other gas station food. I had a shrimp fajita taco and a chicken fajita taco, and they definitely were a step above typical gas station food. Would drive out here just for that.
Was spending the night in Ashburn, VA and the hotel check-in said they were pretty good. Thought I would give a try. I ordered the ground beef, pork carnitas, beef fajita tacos. All 3 were very, very salty. Out of the 3, the beef fajita taco was the best. When I ordered and brought them back to my room (less than 5 min) tacos were cold.
Never again. It was nasty & got food poisoning the next day .
This restaurant is doubtless one of the most pleasant place to eat in the area. Anytime I visit this place I am absolutely satisfied. They hold their high level service and the highest level of food they provide. You always win with this restaurant. Very recommended.
5 Stars - Breakfast tacos with homemade tortillas. Watch out Anita's. This is the perfect late morning or early morning grab.
