El Sazon is conveniently located inside of a gas station which houses a variety of snacks and drinks to order aside from the restaurant itself. The kitchen is in a corner of the gas station interior next to the checkout - there's one kiosk to order at with a menu sign pasted above it and people usually stand around there waiting for their order to be fulfilled. Limited seating is across the room by the entrance, and if dining in they will bring the dish to you. I had chicken al pastor, fries, and horchata (not pictured) - chicken was dry that day. It only came with one tortilla, I'm used to receiving two tortillas per taco at other places! The fries were McDonald's texture with yummy seasoning on it. Overall good for a quick bite; if I were to come back I'd try a different entree next time.

Every single bite was heaven!! Not sure what they put in here but it's soooo good! The items with the birria were packed with meat! The burrito was very hefty, for me that is almost 4 meals. Loved that some entrees came with chips and guac. The spicy sauce that came with was very spicy so be careful but so delicious. The horchata was a bit disappointing, I've had it before but forgot what it was like, it just tasted like a sweet milk. No cinnamon taste. But it was still delicious. So easy to order at the kiosk. There are only a couple tables in the gas station if you want to eat in otherwise most people just take out. Few tables were set up outside too. The gas station is filled with drinks and snacks so it's easy to browse for extras while you wait for your food. It's a literal hole in the wall inside this gas station. I only wish the hours were better, whenever we get a craving for this it's always closed so we have to take advantage when they are open. Can't wait to try their other locations.

I really like the story that gets told about how this cookie-cutter gas station has a food counter with mind-blowing food. But that last part doesn't match my experience. I had so-so birria tacos (no consomme, single soft-corn tortilla) and so-so horchata (served in a sealed bag that looks like an IV pouch, actually kind of funny), along with a tasty and particularly juicy elote. My friend got the Asada Mulita and he quite enjoyed it. That seemed like a good deal for $9, and $4.90 per taco for what I got is okay. The ambiance absolutely does not rise above what you would expect from an unremarkable, utilitarian convenience store with a few tables that aren't routinely wiped down. You can order online (highly recommended) or from a screen near their covered-up window. Whenever a food place is clearly hiding its employees from its customers, I'm nervous that I will be ignored. But someone was constantly popping out and asking people what their names were, and telling them how many minutes they can expect to wait. (Waiting = standing next to the salty snacks shelves.) I see now that they have Al Pastor Chicken with Pineapple Pico and I definitely want to come back and try that. Maybe I'll raise my rating if I love it. Meanwhile, I'd recommend considering this at least for the experience, but order ahead and expect a 30-minute wait. Also note that they close at 7pm.

3/28/25. Back with take out from El Sazón. This place has quickly become a staple in our family and I'm trying to work my way through the menu. On this occasion got the chicken al pastor and shrimp tacos. We also got an order of guac and chips to share. El sazón, we will be back. Thank you for continuing to deliver wonderful food. My faves: -shrimp taco (great balance with crispy shrimp and red cabbage on top. Love it) -guacamole (always so fresh and delicious) Take it or leave it: -el pastor taco (good but I prefer birria or shrimp over this) -chips (not my fave chips-a bit over salted/greasy but the guac is so good you barely notice).

Every gas station should come with an El Sazon Tacos & More. There's a few tables outside in the warm weather, worked out perfect for my friend and I since the few tables inside were taken up. You order at a kiosk, there's only one. It took a little long for the order, about 25 minutes. We had quesabirria's, queso fondue, and a couple Al pastor tacos. The quesabirrias were juicy, meaty, cheesy, flavor bombs. The Al pastor tacos were also tasty, got some pineapple in there, spices, the meat was a little dry though. I'd definitely come back if in the area, maybe order ahead next time.

These are the best tacos i've ever had in Minnesota and some of the best i've had in general! Every time i go back i can't believe just how good that they are! I highly recommend the shrimp tacos, i've also tried the birria tacos which were really good as well but the shrimp ones are truly special! I love how easy it is to order as well.

Finally made the drive out to try this Mexican Restaurant in a Gas station! I have been seeing videos online about this place and knew I had to check it out as it sounded so cool so I made the trek out with a friend a week ago. The restaurant is located inside of a BP gas station and while I knew it was in a gas station, I was expecting it to be a little fancier or like half of the station was a restaurant, but no! This place is actually just part of a regular run of the mill BP station where you order in the corner and there are some tables on one side of the gas station for you to sit and eat if you stay in. You order at the kiosk for dine-in and then they'll call your name and bring you your food when it's ready. They said the wait would be 25-30 min for food, but my food came out in probably just 10 minutes which was awesome. Due to the limited number of seats, strangers often sit together at a table which can be pretty cool sometimes as the people we sat with were great people and joined us in talking about the food and other restaurants we enjoy. I really wanted to order a Birria Torta, but unfortunately they were all out of Torta's so I ordered a birria burrito. This burrito was absolutely massive and chock full a bunch of delicious bites. The birria was flavorful and tender, and the burrito was tasty and savory with a well balanced flavor. The burrito came with two sauces - one like a spicier crema and the other guacamole. Both were great on the burrito and I used them all entirely. Everything I ate was delicious and I recommend making the visit here!

El Sazon has been on our list to try for awhile! The unique appeal - it's located inside a small gas station in Eagan! Don't let this fool you, the food was real tasty! We ordered the birria pizza and asada burrito. It came with chips and 3 dips/sauces. Service was friendly and helpful. Parking was easy. There are a few tables where you can eat inside or outside. It's a perfect choice when you want some quick take-out Mexican food!

Hey Travoodies Hey.. Can I tell you the hype was slight right. Can I tell you the aesthetics of the gas station isn't giving but the food definitely delish. I dropped by to get the famous Birria Burritto. They didn't disappoint however I would have liked a little more sauce on the burrito. I don't know what the little side suace they provided was but it had an nice kick just not enough for the bug burritto. Honestly for me, I could share it because its huge. The gentlemen who gave me my food was so nice and explained how they have been booming all morning. I noticed those around me eating pizzas and the covered fries. I will definitely be going back to try some other menu items. Stop by and tell them you seen it here.

I've seen the reviews. I've heard the raves! I had to start 2024 off with a bang. This place was outrageously good. I already can't wait to go back! I can't comment on service due to you ordering off a screen, so I didn't have much interaction with any staff. I will say I was a huge skeptic seeing this is located in a run down bp gas station. The gas station is kind of a dump but the food is worth it. I got a few things to try. Birria ramen, shrimp mulita, carne asada quesadilla and a carne asada taco. The quesadilla was top notch. I will be going back to try more of their meats in a quesadilla. Taco was good. Ramen was good, it was served with 2 taquitos that were delicious dipped in the ramen broth. The mulita was incredible as well. Nothing but good food was had. I cannot wait to go back and try everything else!

I was excited to check this place out because I've heard all about the "taco shop in a gas station". First of all, it is literally that hahaha. I drove around the building to find the entrance, but it is genuinely just an order counter inside of the BP! I don't know if it lived up to the hype... They were seemingly very busy with take out orders and didn't take our dine-in order for 10 minutes or so. They said it would be a 30 minute wait, which we were okay with, and the food definitely came out sooner than that. I can't say I'd recommend "dining in" hahaha, as they just have two large tables in the middle of... The gas station haha. I will obviously cut them some slack considering it is a unique concept!! But I'd recommend carrying out if you visit none the less, and order ahead. The food. I had three birria tacos with a side of black beans and rice. Though it didn't blow my socks off, I would give it a solid 9/10. Great flavor on the tacos specifically. The tortillas were falling apart, so my tip is to order them double shelled! The prices were average/high. Overall worth a visit if you haven't been, I mean come on, it's a cool concept and good food! But I don't know if I'd go back rather than try somewhere new. Cheers!

I visited this hidden gem on 2/3/24 at 1pm. Things to note: this place is in a BP gas station, but do not let that discourage you. This is one of the best meals I've had in the area. You order at a kiosk (or someone takes your order and payment). Be prepared to wait if you're coming at peak meal times, but it is worth it! I order the birria burrito ($14), cup of consommé ($1.50) and a carnitas taco ($4.25). This would've fed 2 people, it's a lot of food! The best was the burrito, and less fav was the consommé, though it paired well drizzled into the burrito. There's some seating but I would recommend getting take-out if your group is larger than 3 people. All in all, well worth the trip out to Eagen to try this. Parking: free

Was in the area looking for lunch and landed on this place via Yelp. Was a little surprised that this little Mexican place is located inside a gas station in a little corner. The gas station does have 2 tables for dine-in if needed. Surprisingly there were a few people waiting as well. After talking to a couple of customers. It seems like they love this place and would drive for it. The portions are big! Yelp photo made me ordered the crunchy mulita wrap. It's huge. I ate half of it. Crunchy on the outside. It's loaded with bacon, cheese, avocado and some other things? Burrito - huge in size. Filled with goodies. It comes with a side of chips and some dipping sauce. Shrimp taco - one of my favorite kind of taco so had to get it. Honestly, not the best I've had but it was decent. Id go for the burrito or mulita. Horchata- love it when drinks comes in a bag like this. Remind me of Asia and makes everything feel a little more authentic. Tasted a little watered down but still flavorful. Definitely a place to revisit when around the area. Workers were very nice.
