“ Street tacos are fantastic, and as it turns out so are the Burgers. Way above what you normally think of gas station food being. Even if you're not stopping by for fuel this place is worth getting a bite to eat from. Only complaint is that I wish they didn't remove the tables they used to have, those were convenient. But they are using the space for drink coolers and probably expect people to eat in the car or at own so that's understandable. ”
“ Easily the best authentic Mexican food I’ve tried in the Duncanville/Cedar Hill area! Incredible flavors and generous portion sizes. The meats are cooked and seasoned to perfection, the rice and beans are flavorful and well-seasoned (but not overly so). Burritos and tacos are all absolutely delicious. As someone who loves authentic street-food type of Mexican cuisine (as opposed to TexMex), this place is amazing!! Simple walk up counter inside the Chevron gas station that you order at, and calling ahead is a great option too. If you love great Mexican food, you have to give this place a try! ”
“ The chef was very thoughtful and, though there were no vegetarian options listed on the menu, made us three phenomenal veggie tacos. They were delicious! We will absolutely be back, wonderful experience :) ”
