One of the best Mexican spots in Tempe. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is the spot.It might seem a little weird since its located inside of a gas station but the food does not disappoint. The pink shirt guy recommended this spot and it is by far one of his best recommendations.

The menu was decent, but the food was nothing to write home about. We had stomach pains for the rest of the day. Might be good in a pinch if you are really hungry, but we will pass in the future.

Got the quesa birria tacos with a side churro. It came with 4 tacos and consume. Each taco was fully of excellent flavor, but they were a bit soggy (which wasn't too bad). I did happen to order this through a 3rd party delivery service, but I would suggest going in or picking it up yourselves. If you are in the mood for solid tasting food, please check this out.. It fulfilled my hunger and craving for birria Did not get the opportunity to take a photo this time since I was too hungry!

Did not expect this spot to be in a gas station but it was! Took me a second to find. I went today because all el gordo locations are offering free food for those with school employee IDs! I got a veggie burrito (no sour cream) and chips with guacamole. There are barely any customers but I did have to wait a pretty long time for my food, and when I got it it was a little cold. So I am wondering if they forgot about it in back or something? It still tasted good though. I liked the salsas! I did think it was strange that their chips were served with a guacamole sauce drizzled on top instead of on the side, made the chips a bit soggy. But otherwise not bad. I'd say this is a 3.5 star kinda place!

The wait is worth it. I used to have a rule- No gas station food... have now eliminated that rule This little shop inside the Shell gas station has excellent food. Tacos are tasty- tried beef and chicken. A must try if you are in the area. Service was quick despite being busy.

This place sucks ass. First they gave my order to someone else after waiting 30 minutes for order then had to wait another 15 to remake my order. They sure to skimp on the guac. Not worth the price or the wait. Even Fillibertos is better than this place. Do not recommend. Food is mediocre

Absolutely amazed with how good the food is! Just passed by out of curiosity and will for sure be making this a go to! Quesabirria tacos were a chefs kiss! The customer service was very friendly and welcoming!

I never thought I would get food from a gas station, but now I can say I have. I Google best tacos nearby, El Gordo came up and was close by. Since we were starving, we decided to try it. I got tacos, and my boyfriend ordered the breakfast chorizo burrito. I really enjoyed my tacos. My tortillas were a bit more crispy than most people might like, but I actually like them like that. My boyfriend said his chorizo burrito was a bit bland. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely go back for the carne asada tacos.

Went here last night. I had heard great things about this place. Got the torta and was surprised by how small it was. Didn't even want to eat it when I picked it up and felt how soggy it was. I tried it and wasn't satisfied. Had a weird taste. Ended up just eating a part of half of it. It made me sick. Will not be going back.

Food was really good service was very friendly they have lot of different stuff to pick. The small restaurant is a hidden gem inside a gas station i recommend trying it out they also do uber eats and money wise you can expect to pay around $13-$18 per person
