I usually really REALLY like this hidden gem. Quesabirria Tacos, steak tacos, beans and rice, and churros. However, my experience today was a bit uncomfortable. I ordered my food, and asked for a bowl of salsa ($7.00), hold the chips, as I thought i was taking it home, so i wanted to make fresh chips. I kater changed my mind, decided chips now sounds good, so asked them to add the chips back on. $4.50 MORE?? Evn if I already paid $7.00 for a small salsa? So $11.50 for chips and salsa? No, thanks. I asked them to just refund the salsa, maybe next time. That caused a complete shift in how i was treated and I really didn't feel as though they appreciated my nearly $40 for JUST MY LUNCH (with 2 bottles of soda and tip). I ate almostv1 of the 3 tacos and most of the beans and rice when I realized.... it's just not THAT good! I left it sit and excused myself. I'll not return. But, their food is very good, just too expensive to not be treated kindly. This was the first and only time I was made to feel unwelcome here. Hope the next person's experience is vetter than mine. Their portions are VERY large as well. I recommend, just hope they fix their "bedside" manner.

Since it was recommended to me, that's how I checked it. Hidden gem of good gas station food.Birria Taco with the quality of the street stalls in Mexico City. Today I also tried a Taco de cuerito and blew my mind. Some delight. They have a very varied menu.My prejudice against food at gas stations ended. To judge, you must first try. I decided to go to this post because of a message I read on FB. The recommendation they made was so positive that I told myself, tomorrow I'm going to order something, when I saw that they had Birria, and I saw an order that a customer ordered, when I saw it I said, this is authentic. I have already been five times and the quality, quantity and most importantly, the consistency has been the same as the first time. Tomorrow I'll return to try the broth of the day that varies every Saturday. I mean, I'm going to kill the hangover.

This is (hands down) the best Mexican food that I’ve had in the area. Everything is made in house, and the tacos are absolutely delicious. This is one of very few places in this area that makes Mexican food on par with (in this case maybe a little better than) what we were eating in Texas. My wife had enchiladas, and I had a carnitas, a mixto (chorizo and carnitas), and a pastor taco. All of it was stellar, and the house-made sauces (ranging from mild to a very smoky and fairly hot red sauce) were amazing compliments to the food. The guy who runs this place is incredibly polite and made an already great experience that much better. The only downside is the location, but overlook it, plop down in a chair, and have one of the best plates of Mexican food you’re going to find in the Tampa area.

I just happen to stop for gas at this shell station and as I walked got hit with the most delicious smells ever! I look over at this little open kitchen and see two ladies cooking Mexican food. I had to order and glad I did cause I have been a customer ever since. The steak chimichanga is my go to and there home made hot sauce and guacamole is a must have. Everything is good and worth the stop if in the area. To me best Mexican food in the area hands down!

First and foremost, I just want to say that I've been searching for good Mexican food in Florida for years, and Tallahassee was the only place that I knew of that had a decent spot (only went there once due to living in Pasco). El Chapo is inside a gas station, which I already knew was going to be good! The young lady that assisted us, was patient and shared some history about the food we were ordering, which was a plus for me.We ordered a Carne Asada Torta, a couple of Burritos, some Chicken Empanadas, and a Churro. You're getting better quality food for their price point, and a nice sized portion might I add. I'm a big guy, and I was only able to eat half my Torta, and snacked on the other half throughout the day lol. Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed the food, and plan on coming back soon.My only complaint is this, I wish we would've gone earlier in the day to try their tamales and the steak empanadas. Please give this place a try. ?Parking: It's at a Gas Station.

This amazing spot is located in a gas station, don’t let the ambiance fool you. I’ve visited Mexico, several times, their Mexican (only cilantro and onions) not American tacos were by far the closest I’ve had since leaving Mexico. Hands
