Living in Texas means there are a TON of options for tacos within a few miles of anywhere you go. Consistently, some of the best ones are the ones hidden in gas stations, like this gem. Found it on Yelp (thanks y'all) and with the high ratings, I knew I was in for a treat. The "restaurant" is really just a window in the back corner inside the convenience store, with a small table and a few stools for anyone "eating in". Nothing quite matches the experience of sitting on a wobbly stool watching people buy cigarettes and lotto tickets while eating bomb tacos, honestly. I got myself 4 tacos, and I could've eaten more as they were SO good. I had 2 steak tacos, one chicken with jalapeño, and one that was chorizo and beef. The steak ones were my favorite. Prices are average, and service was friendly and quick. Dont expect luxury accomodations, but expect amazing tacos. Next time you stop to get gas, perhaps do it here, so you have an excuse to grab some of this food. read more

Gas station tacos you ask? ABSOLUTELY, I reply. There's clearly no shortage of places to grab a taco in the area, but they're not all built alike. Del Sur is delicious, with everything made to order. The tortillas are excellent, their homemade salsa are spicy in the best of ways, and every taco I've tried, and I've tried MANY, are all top notch! Don't worry about ambiance, it's a taqueria. The place is clean, the prices are on point, and the food is FABULOUS. The only drawback, and it's a very minor one, is that they don't sell drinks, you have to purchase your beverages separately. It's a minor inconvenience, but you're in a gas station/convenience store, so there's like a gaggle of different drink options for you. There no need for me to list off specific tacos, they're literally all great! read more

I've been looking for a solid burrito spot near me and this is it! It's located inside of a random shell gas station and is exactly what'd you expect when you step inside haha. The burritos are very flavorful and packed full of meat, rice, pico, and beans and I like that you can choose any kind of meat without additional charges. Definitely try the green sauce that everyone talks about in the comments. The burrito can stand on its own but that sauce adds a nice fresh spiciness too! read more

Loooove their tacos. Sooo good. The sauces they have are really good too. The seasoning was not strong. The price was great. I am a little picky about my tacos too. read more

This place is a hidden gem inside a gas station. It has very little seating. We ordered Chorizo, Bacon, potato and egg and egg tacos All the tacos were amazing and freshly made. Salsa tasted great as well! We ordered corn regular as well, it was just okay! read more

They say they're open until 7 on Fridays but it's actually 5. Hmmm I'm thinking she means 6. Either way it's 6:42 and here we are looking at each other and somehow this is my fault. Call Grubhub to figure out a refund. LOL read more

Good service and good food that tastes pretty authentic for gas station food. My only gripe about this establishment is they don't use gloves. I saw the lady that takes the orders and handles the cash touch tortillas, touch the ipad, grab cash from customers, rub her eyes all without washing her hands read more

Street tacos in a gas station? Heck yes!! I love this place! They have amazing and authentic street tacos. I'm a big fan of their breakfast tacos and the chicken tacos. The chicken tacos have this perfect amount of juice or grease to them and great flavor. And you can't beat the price. Now, what I really want to acknowledge is the creamy jalapeño sauce. Hands down, one of the best sauces I've ever had from anywhere. You can tell it's made from scratch. It is very spicy. My mouth will be on fire from it but the amount of flavor and the consistency is everything! I come in at times just to buy a cup of the sauce so that I can incorporate it into my own home cooked meals. read more

Del Sur Grill - THE BEST creamy jalapeño sauce EVER! - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Del Sur has some of the best tacos in all of Texas! Great portions, excellent taste, and very good service! Always!

Located inside a gas station that won't be winning any awards for sanitation, this taco joint is legit! Mostly a breakfast and lunch place, their tacos are fantastic! They make their tortillas in house, using a tortilla maker. Soft warm tortillas that don't fall apart holding the generous fillings. I tried 3 tacos. (El Santo, Taco del Sur and Campechano) all 3 were very good however the El Santo makes this place. The marinated pork is jammed packed with flavor, and the pickled red onions bring the acidity. The creamy salsa was fantastic, could be spicer but it was so flavorful that I really didn't mind. The taco del sur brings the heat!!! Perfectly griddled jalapeños and a massive slice of avocado. A meal on its own. The campechano was really great too just not as many bells and whistles. My only feedback would be to add limes to plate. And salsas.... No limes or salsas?!?! Unheard of. The salsas on the table were a after thought. No as much love went into those as the guajillo salsa that was on the taco. read more

I have to admit, pretty good breakfast burrito! Have been trying to find a good place closer to home and this fits the bill. Made to order with fresh ingredients, so it takes a little longer to get your order if they are just. And it's worth the wait! We had the egg and bacon. It was delicious and so is their salsa. Enjoy! read more

I've been coming here every Wednesday for the past two years and I have not been disappointed once. From the friendly staff to their delicious food, this place is easily the best Taco spot in all of McKinney! Cant recommend this place enough. read more

I used to like this place but I will not be returning from now on. For those that don't know, this is a little taco place right in the Shell gas station at Eldorado and Lake Forest. Reason #1 - I went in there and saw a gigantic rat run around the corner near the bathroom. The guy running the gas station checkout didn't seem to care all that much. Reason #2 - not sure what happened with this place, but it shut down for a few days a little while back and, when they reopened, the prices have gone up and the service is terrible. You have to wait for the cashier at the front to finish texting before he will grace you with his checkout abilities. So, I don't care for rats with my tacos and, on top of it, ridiculous prices served with attitude. NO THANKS! read more

not sure why everyone is raving about this spot. perhaps they never had real street tacos outside of Texas? the tacos were underwhelming compared to places that we have found in the last two years since moving here. it also took a long time for our food to come out and there were only 2 other customers there. tried their menudo a month ago and it was $19 a bowl! what a joke. and no hominy. when we asked if their recipe doesn't use hominy, the woman said it's not a lot but it's in there. lie. not one hominy in the two bowls that we had. i noticed most patrons are local workers. it's sad that you would charge this much to hardworking men. There are much better tasting tacos in McKinney and Plano. read more

Del Sur Grill - Lunch today was so delicious, homemade flavor as always. Cochinita pibil, pollo & ground beef with chorizo - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Food good, service is fast... it's a to-go place, no seating, so be aware. I've been coming here for years. It's real, not the overly confusing tacos like at the bigger commercial joints. read more

This is located in the Shell gas station which usually is a good sign for good street tacos. I was surprised that the food was underwhelming. The chicken and pork tacos did not have much flavor to them and were pretty fatty. The tortillas were definitely homemade, which is great, however they didn't have much flavor either. The green sauce was good and spicy and the orange sauce had a nice smokiness to it. read more

Located inside the gas station, this place hits the spot when it comes to breakfast tacos. I definitely want to come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Love their breakfast tacos and regular tacos, fantastic selection and great quality. Authentic and delicious! Recently had the El Maximo (no cheese), Del Sur Taco with barbacoa, and Fish Taco- all on corn tortillas. Amazing! I could have easily had 2 of each. Favorite is the Del Sur Taco. My husband also loves their burritos. Spoke to some regulars and they love it. We are definitely regulars here and highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent Mexican food. I have been craving an authentic breakfast burrito since moving here from California. Tacos are popular here but it's hard to find good burritos made with those oversized tortillas. But this place gets it right. I dinged it one star on account that they're open 10-3 and closed on Sundays. Food-wise it's a solid 5 read more

They are open and 9am on Sunday. Yelp time is wrong. Nothing beats gas station tacos!!! The quesadilla was solid, they did not skimp out on meat. Favorites were steak and barbacoa tacos! The carnitas was kind of dry. The green sauce is super spicy and oh so good! read more

Well Deserved Praise! I had been hesitant to order food from a restaurant inside of a gas station, but I'm glad that I trusted the many favorable Yelp reviews and tried it out. The food was delicious; the menu has a nice selection; and the service was friendly. I did have to wait a bit for my order, but they seemed to be working as quickly as possible, and the wait was reasonable given the crowd and the quality. I can recommend the burrito with carnitas, which was flavorful and generous; I also loved the El Santo taco and Taco Del Sur. I am looking forward to trying the breakfast items, but I'll need to stop in before 11:00 a.m. since it is not served all day. It is rumored that they will open a standalone restaurant someday. I look forward to that and hope that the quality stays high and the prices low. Until then, I'm glad that I can fill up on tacos and gas at the Shell on El Dorado Parkway and Lake Forest Dr. :-) read more

Fresh ingredients cooked authentic. Very friendly service and the food is ready quick to satisfy that craving for amazing tacos. Everything I've tried has been delicious! read more

Del Sur Grill - Tacos Tacos Tacos! This place is great! - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

After seeing the hype, my family and I decided to try this place. It's really close to my house and we didn't really see the hype honestly. The place was good don't get me wrong but it wasn't AMAZING. There's deff better tacos. The thing that made us knock it down to 3 stars was that we didn't get limes Also the quesadillas were kinda of boring. Maybe add some onions in the inside. I would go again if I was craving but if I had the time I would drive somewhere else. read more

I ordered three barbacoa tacos, a carnitas torta, and a barbacoa torta for a total of $26. The tacos were good, however not memorable. The tortas overall lacked flavor. The manager or owner was super attentive and welcoming. I can see how people find the food good, however I enjoy a much more flavorful experience. If you live/work in the area and want to grab a quick bite it will do, however if you are wanting true greasy flavorful street tacos I would pass. Also, I thought it was a bit pricey... each taco was like $2 and torta $9... I've got the same torta with better flavor for $4 elsewhere. read more

This place reminded me of the typical, hole in the wall Mexican joints, back in San Antonio. I had been searching N TX for a great hole in the wall, and I've found it! Inside the Shell gas station, they serve amazing street tacos and homemade corn tortillas! I tried the carnitas, pollo and asada. Enjoyed them all. Wish I didn't live 40 mins away, as I would also love to try their breakfast tacos. They also have tortas and burritos. We have nothing like this place, in Sherman. I may need to move to McKinney soon! Highly recommended. My only minor complaint was that the meat was slightly greasy, but it was all flavor. Didn't bother me enough to knock off any stars. read more

Tacos are delish! I pre-ordered with grubhub app, and food was ready when I was there.

I had heard about this place and then coincidentally came across their Instagram profile. Between my love for good ol' street tacos and what had to be clear signs...I jumped into the SUV and checked it out. In all transparency, upon arriving I was initially thinking - ummmmm, it's inside a gas station. Gosh, I'm so glad I didn't allow that to dissuade me. It is inside a gas station; but even the inside of this gas station seemed different. It was almost as if the concept was a gas station constructed around an amazing taco food truck. Immediately picked up on the aroma of legitimacy and taco excellence. Smell that? I had the beef tacos and sides of rice and beans with a Mexican Coca Cola. Oh yeah baby...the taste buds were very pleased. Very very delicious. Meat wasn't chewy fatty like some places that are skimping on good quality. Sauces (a green and a red) were both great accents. I'm a Lime everything up guy; so, I Lime'd mine up to complete personal perfection. YUM! Seating is very limited and with its popularity, could probably sometimes be difficult to be able to enjoy and eat while seated. They offer all of the meat options you would expect from a legit Taco Food Truck. I'll be back to try the Chicken and then back again for some more beef. Tacos in my future! read more

Del Sur Grill - Pastor and tromp tacos. - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Trashy gas station. Authentic street tacos. The most authentic I've tried in North Dallas. Carnitas $1.87 seasoned and tender. Awesome. Barbacoa $1.87 oily moist and good Asada $1.87 with pineapple slice, not chunks like Al Pastore, complements the pork. Not dry, this is a good choice. Corn tortillas were on the dry side. Meat, onions, cilantro. That's how you do that. Green salsa is avocado based and a little creamy. Tacos best without the them. That's the sign of a great taco, not a bad salsa. Of the 18 people who came and went while I was eating, 3 were Caucasian. Now that's what I expect to see from a real taco shop. This ain't no Fuzzys or any other chain taco crap. This is the real deal. read more

I used to eat here all the time when I lived in McKinney. When I come back to town I always grab a burrito or torta from here. They are great as far as hospitality and every single thing I've ever ate here was great. It's a small place and can have a long wait when it's busy but totally worth it. read more

Wow these tacos are SMALL. See photos for reference! They may have been appropriate-sized for my son, but even then, he may need 2! Mind you, he's only 1.5 years old! I think these tacos are overpriced. Prices have changed compared to the menu you see listed on Yelp. Barbacoa, Beef and Pork is $1.97 each. They are the size of street tacos - two bites and gone! They were smaller than the size of my hand. Barbacoa was a tad bit drier than I am used to (maybe needed to be cooked longer). I definitely did not feel "full" after having these tacos and we had these for breakfast. The egg/bacon my son had looked good, but I didn't have any. Still small and expensive for $1.75. The sauce was pretty good and tasted fresh. However, I would not return based on the price and size of tacos. I've had much better tacos and for much cheaper! My search for authentic street tacos continues.... read more
