Asada Burrito
Lauren J.

This food y'all! Holy cow- I've seriously been missing out. I wish I had more room in my stomach to eat this monster breakfast burrito Please don't be like me- give this place a try the first time you see it! You will not regret it.

This place kicks ASS. THE BURRITO is so full and not too much egg, the sauces they have are nice and spicy. Everything tastes great, price is not too crazy for how well this burrito is made, it fed me twice today.

So good!!

This place is AWESOME!! My brother has been telling me about this place for years. I regret taking this long to come. Friendly staff/owners. Food comes out hot and tasty. I tried the fish taco and shrimp taco and they were both really tasty. I also got the burrito and it was loaded with yumminess. They are generous with their toppings and protein. I had a bite of the chorizo torta and it was solid. Definitely make sure to top of your food with their green and orange sauce. The green sauce has some kick but super delicious. The orange sauce is sweet and helps cut a bit of the spiciness of the green sauce. They have perfectly fried French fries. Hands down 5 stars. It's located inside the gas station. They have some bar tops and stools inside if you want to eat there. I also saw people that ordering it as take out.

Delicious tacos!!! Ignore the fact that El Serranito is located inside the gas station. It is worth a try! I went with the intent of trying their tacos but was hoping I could mix and match. Their menu is setup so that you can buy individual tacos. Perfect! I ordered a fish taco, fried shrimp taco and the al pastor (marinated pork) taco. I also ordered a side of rice and beans. The fish and shrimp tacos came with an orange sauce which added great flavor but was a tad too spicy for me. These tacos also had a yummy crunch from the slaw. The pork taco was packed with lots of pork, onion and cilantro. It came with a green sauce that was really tasty. The rice and beans which is typically a forgotten side, just there to fill space. That is not the case here. The rice was perfectly cooked and very well seasoned. The beans were soft and delicious. I will definitely eat here again!

This is your Mexican food hole in the wall you were looking for! Visiting from California, we know our CalMex food - so so good! Well, after finding this place on Yelp with 5-star reviews we had to try it. Let me tell you, I couldn't see the place once we pulled into the gas station - because it's located inside the gas station!!! Once we entered I saw the line of customers ordering food. I knew it was gonna be good. We ordered two asada burritos, they come with fries and sauces. It's a $10.99 burrito which I found to be a steep price. Maybe omit the fries and lower the price a buck or two. But once we got the food, and tailgated as there are no tables or chairs to sit at, the first bite was OH WOW good. The flavor is perfect, a fireworks of flavors in your mouth, great ratio or meat, rice and beans and the size is massive! They cut it in half so you can share with another person or save for later. The fries were amazing too, and I'm not a fries person. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Sauces were spot on as well. After talking to the owner I learned she used to live in California before moving to Georgia. So, if you were looking for an amazing authentic CalMex food in GA, make a stop at this place. You won't regret it.

Massive tasty brick of an al pastor burrito..

The tacos are amazing. Order more than you think as they're street sized and you'll want more anyway. The burritos are phat - giant visions of tasty deliciousness filled with rice and loads of protein. I could do without the fries... first, there's no room for them if you eat even half the burrito; second, they taste of old oil that has cooked fish. That's the only negative there is here. In terms of tacos - we have eaten the chorizo, the carne asada and the el pastor and they're all terrific. My favorite borders between the latter two. And I recommend the same for burritos. We tried a quesadilla - it was okay but I think the burritos and tacos are what makes this place sing.

Al Pastor Burrito, Taco de Camaron, Taco de Pescado, Buche Taco, Pollo Burrito, Chorizo Tostada, Asada Taco
Chantel B.

We ordered 1 chicken burrito (ok), 2 al pastor tacos (great), 1 steak (dry, flavorless), 4 pork stomach (fatty, flavorless), 2 fish (old, inedible), 2 shrimp (old, inedible), and 1 chorizo tostada (good) - $58 I expected much of the food to be amazing based on the reviews so I'm pretty disappointed right now. I didn't eat 8 out of 11 tacos because they were just that bad. The fish and shrimp were not fresh and I was most excited about those tacos. The chicken burrito tasted like one of those microwaveable burritos, so not terrible but not amazing. The al pastor tacos were really good as well as the chorizo tostada. Service was good and +1 star for having an A health rating.

Shrimp tacos
Jen C.

Who'd a thunk the best shrimp tacos around come from the inside of a BP Gas station. I love it here. $6 and some change for 2 fish tacos

Tamer Y.

Okay everyone I consider myself a traveler and a foodie but today the biggest happy accident has happened to me since I moved to Georgia. I stopped in this BP gas station and saw this sign that said fish tacos. I said what could hurt fish tacos from a gas station no problem!!! Little did I know what was about to happen. I was greeted by young lady and basically just had to fish tacos and ask her if she can put them in corn tortillas. She looked at me a little strange as if how did he know that's how they're supposed to be made. After the first bite I was in heaven. I had not had authentic Mexican food like this since I had to lived in San Diego. The food was fresh it was clean and most importantly everybody there was so friendly. against my better judgement I ended up ordering two more fish tacos and now I'm about to go into a coma. Ended up speaking with the owner Jose and turns out they even do street corn on the weekends and he gave me a couple to take home on the house. Let me tell you something this is the best authentic Mexican in or around this side of town. I will be there and become a regular hands down. Thank you Jose and your family for the great service in the great food and I will see you tomorrow and many more times next week. Holy crap that was delicious.

We had lunch here on a Monday around 2 o'clock. It was pretty quiet inside and we warmly greeted…read moreand allowed to choose where we wanted to sit. We chose a comfy booth and looked the menus over. The menu is not the largest I've seen in a Mexican restaurant and there was no "lunch menu," but the prices were good and I like the fact that you can order items a la carte. I chose chicken soup and an enchilada; my brother ordered fajitas. The food was delicious! My brother said the fajitas were the best he's had in a very long time and they were reasonably priced as well. My soup was lovely and the enchilada tasty. The chips here are also some of the best I've had in a while, super thin and crispy. At the end of our meal, we were brought a free dessert (sopapillas drizzled in chocolate with whipped cream on the side). Yummy! The service was also amazing. We will definitely return here when we're in the area.

I would rate this restaurant 2.5 stars. I ordered the birria tacos and chicken fajitas. The food…read moreitself wasn't disgusting but it just had no flavor whatsoever. The birria tacos didn't have a savory flavor profile and the consommé was watered down. I will say that the birria tacos did come with a lot of meat though! Again, the chicken fajitas had no seasoning. Service was good, and restaurant was clean. I'm not sure if my experience had to do with the cooks on that day or just the items I got. Not sure if I would come back to this restaurant.

This location is truly a hidden gem tucked next to TitleMax across from Captain D's. As soon as we walked in, we were immediately welcomed and seated. We decided to sit outside on the patio, which was a nice vibe. They had traditional Spanish music playing inside, which really added to the experience, and the overall atmosphere was very clean and welcoming. The restrooms were also clean, which I always appreciate. We started with the guacamole fresco and it was amazing, super fresh and exactly how I like it. I ordered the chicken quesadilla for $12 along with a sparkling water, and my partner got the lengua tacos with a side of refried beans. Not to mention, the presentation of these dishes were very satisfying to look at. Our food came out in under 10 minutes, which honestly surprised us in the best way! The staff checked on us consistently and made sure everything was good. My quesadilla came out hot and delicious, and the portions were very generous. Both of us left full and happy, and for the price, it was more than worth it. I'd recommend this place to any crowd really whether that be families, a casual lunch, a gathering, or even a date spot. This will definitely be my go-to Mexican restaurant, and next time I come back I absolutely want to try the quesabirria and the churros.

This place is for comfort food. Period . Oh, the staff are very nice and polite. Our waitress was…read morequick with our order, quick with refills, and quick with the check, but go here for happy food. We had the fajitas (steak). The steak was tender, juicy and flavorful. The portion sizes were perfect. The decor is old and outdated. It's an old pizza place turned into a Mexican restaurant. Overlook it. The food is the star at Puerte de Oro. Would I recommend it? Yes. Not for a fancy date, but for a good lunch or weekend outing, it's quite good.

I think the word "authentic" gets thrown around a little too loosely when it comes to Mexican food…read more A lot of places claim it, but you could easily argue otherwise for many of them. This place, however, truly delivers the authenticity you expect. Every detail was spot on. They use crema instead of sour cream, the enchilada sauce is thick and has a great spicy kick, and they stick with traditional staples like corn tortillas. You can tell they care about doing things the right way. Overall, the meal was outstanding--easily some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. The portions were very generous. The beans were creamy with a nice amount of cheese mixed in, and the rice was full of flavor--you could taste the chicken bouillon, tomato, and spices in every bite. Everything was topped with cotija cheese and served with a fresh, well-done salad. All of that was just $12 for a three-enchilada plate, which is an incredible value for the quality and portion size. This is probably the best Mexican food I've ever had, and I think everyone should give it a try.

This was our first time at the restaurant, and it will definitely not be our last. It is a very,…read morevery popular place at lunchtime, but the service is quick. My husband got the enchilada plate, and I got the taco plate, both of us getting steak on one and chicken on the other. The meat is so flavorful and tender! We got a side of guacamole that was legit!
