Stopped by the gas station to get some change so I can buy a ps5 game from someone off offer up. Walked by this spot and seen the pic of their tamales and chose to try it and break the bill and get change while I'm at it. The two ladies working there were absolutely amazing as far as service. They asked me if I wanted medium or extra hot and I automatically chose extra! Let me just say without any sauce on top the cheese tamales were great all around. The masa was not dry and actually had taste unlike most places. The cheese they use was THEE best one to use in tamales (IMO) chewy and tasty so perfect in tamales. I didn't expect such a great taste I just stopped to get change and a snack. The green sauce was so good and the red was bomb too but the red one is HOT AF! I eat fire and this red sauce had me in sweats after the first (huge with lots of red sauce) bite. I finished two of them and had no intention of scooping the last spoon of red sauce though it was delicious. I'm literally going back tomorrow, I need that fire in my life

Not a bad place if you'e not looking for ambiance, as it is attached to a gas station, but don't let that deter you. Inside is yummy burritos for THREE BUCKS with CHIPS!!! Yes, three bucks gets you a burrito with your fillings of choice, only the guac is extra. Its not huge but it leaves room for others. Word of caution...you might want enter the gas station from Coliseum Way as I almost relived a scene from Night of the Living Dead as a group of braseros looking for work almost mobbed my ride as I was pulling in from High Street. Those guys are one bunch of eager beavers, although I have to give them props...at least they are willing work, unlike some of the panhandlers I see in SF or downtown Oakland, go get em!Go get some GAS and create some gas.

I discovered this place because the gas station it's at has the cheapest gas in the area, and one day I was hungry. Really hungry. Hungry enough to take a chance on a gas station burrito.Oh, man, what a wonderful discovery. HUGE burritos, stuffed with deliciousness, made to order. And really tasty, too. I love messing with people that don't know about this place by saying, "Let's go to the gas station for burritos!" They think I'm crazy.The gas station aspect also helps in that you've got a mini-mart worth of beverages to choose from to wash down your burrito. There's usually a place to park next to the air & water machine, but if you're getting it to go, I usually start filling the tank, get my grub, and then come back and the tank is full.The one negative: sometimes a little inconsistent in the quality of ingredients (meat a little gristly, rice a little dry, etc).

My new lunch spot for days I don't bring lunch to work. This little taqueria is attached to the gas station on High Street right off of I-880. The burritos are good, but they're even better because they're $3.00. I also like that I can fill up my tank while waiting for my food, and because they're attached to a large gas station their drink selection is amazing!The carnitas weren't as good as the beef, and yes, they have a Philly Cheese Steak on the menu. WTF?

This is one of those hole-in-the-wall gems that is known to a lucky few. It is located in the same building as High Street Gas & Food, which means it's in the "hood" and it definitely doesn't feel 100% safe. The food is excellent, the Hispanic ladies were delightful , and the prices are incredibly low.

one of the best things in life is finding a place which you would never expect to find excellent food at....El Senor Taco is one of those places. Smack dab in the middle of a Day Labor hring zone, Diesel fuel off 880, fruit and flower street vendors inside a Gas Station she lays.Do I dare say restaurant quality mexican food inside a gas station mini-mart? Heck Yes!Standard Burritos are only $2.99, no matter what the filling, including fish. Taco's $1.49 or 2 for $3.99. Tortas you ask, $5?, hell no, $2.99. Honestly, their fish tacos kick ass. Why? Today I had 3 of them. Allow me to discect them please. 1. tortillia-corn, heated on a grill, crispy, not burned, heated perfectly.2. fish, grilled, not fried, seasoned with pepper. flavor not masked or overpowered as frying does. 3. a nice glob of Guac, fresh, 4. fresh cabbageHonestly, I have had seriously crappier stuff at sit down mexican places and been charged $10 for the pleasure.Parking is not really an issue, it is a gas station and there is plenty of parking to the side of the building. I used to hit the LaPinata truck before, but this place is so much better

Gas station tacos, YES! Why do the best tacos and burritos come from roach coaches and the side of a gas station and NOT from sit down restaurants? I don't think we'll ever find out... The tacos here are a little more expensive compared to the taco trucks, but still less than the restaurants, but you get chips and salsa even if you order a single taco. By the way, even a single taco here is actually pretty big, complete with guacamole, which other places tend to charge extra for. Also the condiments such as radishes, jalepenos, salsa, etc are on the side so you can get as many or as little as you like. I love those little radishes so I pig out. The only issue I've had here was that the Latina who works there doesn't seem to know any English. She's not bad on the eyes but I've had a little bit of trouble ordering a couple times. She was still very friendly and patient though, so it's ok. Also parking might be an issue if you're going during the commute times. I get gas at that station pretty regularly and if you go during the rush hours there might be a line of cars just to get into the lot. I guess that's the price for a gas station that has the cheapest gas around AND also the best tasting and priced tacos and burritos around.

They have very good burrito's for such a small shop. Great price. $3.99 for a large burrito that you normally buy for over $7 at some places. Good flavor and seasoning of the meat and beans.For me- I think I have experience some of the ladies on a few bad days. Watch them make your burrito, If you don't ask for it they don't offer it. I turned away to grab a soda and she had my burrito wrapped with no sour cream or guacamole. Yes, I had already told her everything. Again, Maybe she has no patience for non-Spanish speaking customers or she was having a bad day. No. It wasn't just once and my husband experience the same thing. But will I go back. Heck yea! Didn't I say $3.99 for a large burrito. Try the Tortas too.

Make way for the $2.99 buritto! El Senor is a tacqueria attached to a mini mart in a gas station at High St. and Coleseum Way. It's a big slick newish looking gas station painted in red and grey, that looks like it should be a Texaco but the big tall sign just says "Food Gas". The mini mart looks like any other mini mart with beef jerkey and Pringles, but instead of having to buy microwaved burritos wrapped in plastic you can sit down and eat at a real tacqueria. There's a sign near the door that says "El Senor". While you eat you get to look out at the underneath of Hwy 880 and watch people filling up their big trucks with gas. $2.99 burritos$4.99 super burrito (cheese, sour cream)$1.49 tacos$2.99 (I think) tortas$3.99 enchilada platter- 2 enchiladas, rice, beans & salad.Choice of meats include chile verde, chicken, fish, carnitas, steak or chorizo.I ordered a $2.99 fish burrito that was HUGE and came with tortilla chips. The fish appeared to be tilapia, and was lightly coated in flour and pan fried. It also had pinto beans, rice, salsa, lettuce inside. It was delicious. There is a salsa bar with 4 kinds of salsa, jalapenos, limes, and radishes. Everythings the normal size you'd expect in a tacqueria, despite the miniturized prices.There looked like there were a number of taco trucks in the area so maybe they are priced competitively with the local taco trucks, I don't know.(I went here because there is a "Coming Soon" sign at the corner of 19th and San Pablo for El Senor #2 and an insider told me to check out #1 on High St. if I wanted to know what to expect. I don't know if they'll keep the prices but it'd sure be nice if they did.)

I got the nachos because I wasn't super hungry and I figured a burrito would make me way too full to go back to work. Literally the worst nachos I've ever had. The service wasn't very friendly either. If I decide to go back for another try, I'll get the burritos everyone on here seems to think are so great.... or just walk next door to the taco truck (SO GOOD).
