Happy Taco Tuesday!!
Rick R.

Well it was Tuesday so you know what time it is...Happy Taco Tuesday!! As other reviewers mentioned, this spot is located inside a Shell gas station so who would've thought to find it there. Pretty clean and tidy inside with ample parking. Good timing as a long line formed with lots of patrons visiting after I placed my order. Late lunch and decided to order: **2 street tacos (1 lime & cumin chicken and 1 chipotle pineapple pork $2.75 each) **Plate with rice and beans (half braised birria and half steak $15) The street tacos and birria were decent and good. Just add lots of salsa! I liked the steak more as it had lots of flavor and delicious! Very good service! The staff was super nice and courteous. Will visit again.

Menu as of 5/14/26

I didn't know what to expect inside a gas station but I love Mexican food and wanted to try their tacos. I don't speak Spanish so it was a little hard understanding the cashier, but we figured it out. She was nice and worked with my lack of Spanish. I got the #1 with chicken, asada, and pork. I must say...it was fresh and pretty quick. All were tasty and the price was nice at $12 for 3 tacos! I appreciate having a solid meal at a decent price point. Next time, I would just ask for the tacos to be more crispy. There are some tables/chairs to sit inside. While I was waiting, someone started eating his tacos with the consume, and he started nodding after taking a bite. So you know it's good!

2. Street Taco (fish)
Razaa A.

Probably some of the better tacos I've had in the area. Highly recommend the queso tacos. I got the trio of garlic shrimp. I also tasted the fish street taco. Everything was amazing. It's inside a gas station and has seating. Being inside the gas station is pretty convenient because you can pair it with another snack or drink of your choice. I still want to go back and try the quesadilla, but overall I was very impressed and will be back!

Located inside the Elk Grove Shell gas station on Auto Mall Drive is Birria Boys. Stopped in during their last hour before closing on a Saturday night, and they were understandably out of birria and consome, garlic shrimp, etc. BUT they did still have chicken, marinated pork, and the seared steak. I got a super burrito with steak, and this came with the green tomatillo salsa. This really hit the spot. There are tables inside to sit and dine in, . I could only finish half of the burrito and took the rest home for another meal! I will definitely return to try their famous queso tacos, birria and consome or a Cali burrito next.

Birria Crunchwrap... the picture does not do it justice... but the flavor 10/10!
Tanya B.

I was in Elk Grove for work and was lucky enough to try this amazing find. One of the people I was working with said it was delicious and she wasn't wrong! This place did not disappoint. I ordered the crunch wrap with birria... with the cheese and sour cream and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious and crunchy it all was. I was slightly worried using birria it would be so wet that it would make the rest of it soggy but much to my delight it was perfect. Bonus it did not upset my stomach ... we ordered this to be delivered so I can't speak on the ambiance but I will say the next time I'm in Elk Grove we will be stopping in!

Birria taco starter pack-3 tacos. Rice and beans and consumee

I just ordered Birria Boys tacos for lunch. Who would have guessed that it would be inside a gas station? But hey, if you need to fill up on gas you might as well fill up on yummy food, too.The meat was well-seasoned and tender and the taco shells were crispy. It came with a side of rice and beans. I live close by but didn't realize this delicious gem was hiding g in plain sight.

Street Tacos & Quesa Tacos (Birria)
Stephanie H.

I would never think I'd find good food inside a gas station; Birria Boys is located inside the Shell Gas Station off of EG Blvd. I tried the Street Tacos and the Quesa Tacos, both with birria. The Quesa tacos are very greasy/flavorful. I liked both, but taste-wise I preferred the Quesa. Health-wise, the street tacos are probably preferred. They pack the street tacos with a good amount of meat too. Anyways, I'm not used to a lot of sodium, so I was dehydrated after eating, but that's just me. In case anyone's wondering, they do have a Taco Tuesday deal. I didn't go there on a Tuesday, but there's a sign on the station that says they have a deal (buy three tacos, get one free). Warning: Not sure if it was just this day, but the jalapeno served on the side with the tacos was hot! I usually have a decent spicy tolerance too. The tacos I tried were good; I'll be back.

Function Pack - added 1 quesa tacos and consome
Amabel Y.

First time trying this spot after yelping for a highly rated Mexican restaurant. Shared space at the gas station store. Not busy when I got there around 4 something on Friday. I ordered the function pack that came with 2 quesa tacos, a super burrito, and a fountain drink. I also added an extra quesadilla burrito for an additional $4 and consome for an additional $4. The super burrito was smaller than I expected for a super burrito but it was delicious and flavorful . I got the pineapple pork for the burrito and it came with a line and the red salsa. The red salsa was really spicy and tasted like they added tapatio or Valentina. Not my favorite but it paired well with the burrito. For the quesa tacos, I ordered the braised birria meat and the tacos were pretty big! My husband really enjoyed it with the consome! Overall, really affordable food and delicious! Worth checking out!

California Cali Burrito
Christopher C.

The famous Birria Boys .. MAN I've been wanting to try them for a few years now and i just happened to be in the area very close and decided to finally give it a shot. It is a small restaurant set up inside a shell gas station located in Elk Grove. While I was very excited to try the Birria tacos, I was informed it was done. The time was 5:54 and I believe they close around 9 so that was a bummer. When you see the name "Birria" infront of the names restaurant you'd assume they have enough to keep going all the way through especially knowing they are in popular demand. So I said okay, I love me a good California burrito especially with some steak and shrimp ,, welp No shrimp either or chicken Lol huge minus (I suggest calling ahead to make sure they have enough protein left) So I got a regular California burrito with steak. I have no complaints about the burrito tho it was perfectly equal parts of everything from protein to fries and garnishes everything was very well seasoned and tasted amazing. Only downside is I always love a burrito with a few different type o sauces which in this case I only got one green salsa that again had a good flavor but I'd expect atleast 2 sauces for the size burrito I live in the Bay Area so the drive is a bit far off but I will definitely update review when I get a chance to come back and try the Birria tacos. Cashier was very friendly tho in letting us know they ran out so no complaints Overall I'd reccomend just again make sure to call ahead :)

Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese (Surf & Turf)
Robyn F.

This spot is tucked in the back of the Shell gas station store. I didn't know what to expect when I entered. The counter is basic with a simple menu. Most orders should follow three steps. Choose the type of dish (taco, burrito, plate, ramen, etc). Step 2 is choosing your protein. Step 3 is personalizing the toppings. I actually like a simple menu so I'm not overwhelmed with too many options. My party ordered a seared steak plate with rice and beans, garlic bread grilled cheese with surf & turf and a slow braised burria super burrito. The order was repeated back before completing the order. There were a couple of tables and chairs but I think most people take the food to-go. I also noticed most customers picking up orders that they ordered via a phone call. Next time I'll probably do that too. But my order was prepared pretty quick. Unfortunately when we got home we realized the tortillas were missing for the plate. As another helper mentioned, it would be wise to check your orders before leaving. The amount of food was generous and we were all able to get two decent meals from one order. I am willing to visit again simply for the excellent taste of the food.

birria Cali Burrito
Eric C.

yeah so i ordered the birria burrito and like ngl. i wanted it to be bomb but this was so mid. it lacked a lot of flavor and meat was a lil dry ngl man. but it definitely wasn't terrible by any means just hella mid. the man working at the register is a chill dude tho. very enthusiastic and welcoming, gotta give my applauds to him

I love the set up, such an easy stop and super quick service. The birria is good and the place looks clean. Gas station fooderies worry sometimes but the staff here were all on point. BIRRIA: soft and no fat chunks. Rating 4/5 TACOS: loaded with meat and toppings, I would like more cheese on my cheese tacos, but overall good balance of flavors. Rating 4/5 BURRITOS: soft and well cooked meat, rice was not mushy, and everything was evenly distributed. Rating 5/5 Overall great spot for good food with some seating inside the gas station. My only recommendation is to make a spicier salsa since birria typically goes with a spicy salsa (chile de arbol).

1. Quesa Tacos
Wendy F.

By the time we got there, they ran out of birria, which is the meat we wanted to try! I'm hoping better luck next time. Tucked away in a shell gas station, would've never known this was here but I did get recommended to check this place out. Wasn't a huge fan of their asada fries. But the quesa tacos won my heart. Really good! Few tables inside if you wanna sit but it's warm in there.

You order your food then you can head to the bar (which is to the left) or go straight into finding a seat! Service: From the person greeting me and my friend at the front, the cashier who took our order, and the server giving us our food - everyone was attentive, kind, and friendly. Once we were seated, our food came out in less than 10 minutes. We were asked if we needed any extra hot sauces, utensil, etc. We had a server introduce himself and check in on us too. Great service! Food: We ordered the Birria Nachos. For the nachos/fries, you can add any choice of meat! The birria was soft and juicy! Not dry at all. The nacho chips are my favorite. They were the thick tortilla chips that didn't break when you use it to scoop up meat/toppings from the nachos. The nachos portion was large enough to be shared between two girls! So great! We also order the Taquileros Burrito with Asada meat. I think the burrito came with mexican rice, the meat, cheese, beans, pico de gallo, onions, etc. it was so GOOD! The cheese (I'm not sure what cheese it is) but whatever was used .. was so good. It really complemented the entire burrito. Highly recommend! Parking: Parking was easy! We stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon and there was plenty of parking. I know this place is still new in Elk Grove but I do wish they had a Taco Tuesday deal! Maybe in the future?

My husband ordered the carne asada super burrito. He mentioned his burrito was lukewarm. The chips & salsa were $5. I don't want to discourage anyone from coming here, you gotta give this place a try. we'll return in three month. We would love to see real utensils and real glasses for drinks instead of all plastic serving utensils, and plastic cups. Oh and tonight's music genre was country music.

There's no posted menu up front but there are plenty of handheld menus to pick up and glance at. It seems like they have a rotating menu, we came for lunch but they only serve breakfast on Sundays. I overheard our waitress talking to another customers about which days serves breakfast and lunch vs just breakfast. They also have other fluctuating things such as what kind of agua fesca, side salad, or fruit is available for the day. Although it would have been nice to know what the daily rotating items were before ordering we didn't feel like we were shorted or disappointed in the options we had. I also feel like I'm more intrigued to return on a day they serve lunch or other drink options! Chilaquiles had a lot of flavor but they didn't uphold the crunch of the chip very well. All eggs were served runny which I love but my partner isn't into. (Luckily for me I just got two eggs). Chicken sandwich was the best food item by far. The crunch of the chicken was amazing and overall it was cooked perfectly. The pepper on top was a great little spicy snack in between bites. The drinks were awesome. The horchata coffee was amazing, the sangria was so tasty, and the melon aqua Fresca was perfectly refreshing for our Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was clean and had a nice open space so It didn't feel too crowded. We already decided we would be back to try lunch options in the future.

I love to eat Mexican food and La Favorita Taqueria does it the best! I've been coming here…read moreconsistently for 5 years and this place does not disappoint! I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food!
