AWESOME! Yes this place looks sketchy and seedy from the outside, but I've learned over the years here in DFW that the sketchier and seedier a taco joint looks like from the outside, the better it will be, and this place is no exception. The menu has many options and while I have been here a few times I have not yet been able to try everything I've wanted to try yet, but I have had the Moreno Tacos(aka Quesatacos with your choice of meat) which are very good, VERY GOOD breakfast burritos, the Tex Mex enchiladas are excellent, and so are the nachos and loaded fries. The fried quesadilla is an interesting concept, it was like a hybrid between a tamale and a quesadilla. Can't really go wrong with anything here. Friendly service too. It may take a few minutes but they make everything to order so the wait is well worth it.
The Best Birria hands down but... Food: 1) Morena Tacos aka Birria Tacos 5/5 2) Lengua Birria Style 10/5 HIGHLY RECOMMEND 3) California Burrito 3/5 Great size and Good 4) Churros w/ caramel 10/5 Crispy & fluffy hot and sweet HIGHLY RECOMMEND Value: 5/5 I purchased all of the above for about $40. Atmosphere: 3/5 It's located in the back of a sketchy gas station. I only wish they had better advertising for the taco spot out front. I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot without google maps and the small sign on the gas station window. But I didn't care. I felt safe I at the small table inside the gas station that seated 3 and enjoyed my food fresh and hot.
Don’t let the outside fool you, this place is delicious! Just picked up 4 tacos and man they were finger licking good! Check them out, support local food spots like this.
Don't let the fact that this is a gas station deter you, you wont be dissapointed. Food was fresh, affordable, delicious, and piping hot!! Definitely the best gorditas I have had in Texas. The barbacoa, asada, and pollo were all flavorful and seasoned well. The elote was good too. Locals know this spot because this place got packed quick while we waited for our food. I'll definitely be back when I come to Texas and want some good mexican food.
This is my second time here and the food is phenomenal. I got the chorizo breakfast burrito twice and both times were consistent quality. Hot, crisp, and everything in the burrito made an amazing impression. The prices? Unbelievable for the quality you get. The service is fast and they're all super nice. Please, if you need a good breakfast, come to this location. You, and your wallet, will be impressed.
The food was soooooo good. We got there at 8:35 thinking they closed later (the store closes later). They advised they were closed, but let us order still. The food took about 15 minutes to make. It was still hot when we got home 20 minutes later and according to my 5yo cousin he “knew it would be good because he could smell how it taste” Kids Chicken quesadilla (really good he danced while eating) Barbados super burrito (there was no fatty meat full of flavor and a “fat daddy”) Bacon burger (cooked to perfection w/ toasted buttery buns) We will be back!
I found my new favorite place! This was my first time trying out this place, I ordered a Torta de Pastor very very delicious. I’ll be back that’s for sure!
Very clean and tidy!!! The lady was very patient and welcoming checked on me will I was dining in I Love this place. Not to mention the food was phenomenal did not disappoint! Tacos were fresh and full of flavor 100% mexicano style Must visit for all foodies in Arlington!
