    Large Horchata 32 oz
    Audrey H.

    Wonderful Mexican inside the BP gas station. Full line of great tacos, but we went for birria tacos this week. Tasty meat, taco fried to perfection but the consume was the best. Ordered large guacamole, elotes and horchata. All definitely worth while. Make a stop today if you're in the area.

    About the hardest thing to believe is that any good food is in gas station, but if you believe that then you haven't been to this small ass cantina. It may be a joke that Mexican food causes gas, but we're not talking about that kind of gas oddly enough. La Nueva Taqueria is located inside a BP station in Plainfield. How good could this possibly be? The answer is: fucking good. Even though it may be far from the best tacos you've ever had, they are the best tacos you've had from a gas station in all certainty. It's barely a restaurant as it has a couple tables near the pop machines. They have no drink menu so customers just get something from the gas station. It specializes in street tacos, the small ones. These are only a couple bites to eat if that. Luckily they're cheap. There's beef, chicken and vegetable. It's $2.39 each. The Vegetable Taco comes with avocados, lettuce, onions, rice, and tomatoes. It's those thin corn tortillas they need to double up on or else the fillings will soak through it. They have good hot sauce but don't put too much on or the tacos will get soggy. Holy shit it's amazing a gas station has food that's any good. It doesn't have any drinks but you can buy beer in the gas station. The tacos are very small and most people don't want to eat in a gas station so they get takeout.

    These tacos were the best I've had in this area. I moved here a few years ago from Chicago and I've been on the hunt for authentic tacos with a lot of flavor and I've found them!!!

    Don't get it twisted, just because it's a gas station with a Mexican restaurant inside don't be hating on La Nueva Taqueria. You want a tank of gas and 3 delicious steak tacos - well you're in luck because that can happen here! The food is excellent (tacos are really all I've had but are tasty tasty tasty!), service is great and quick and if you want to grab an ice cold Mountain Dew and snag a lottery ticket, well the option is there to make that happen as well. You got a hankering for some south of the border Mexican food, well head on over to this spot and you won't be disappointed.

I had the chicken quesadilla and tostada. Upgrade to add bean and rice for a buck. My colleagues fish taco wasn't worth the extra $2 according to her. I thought everything was fresh and delicious. More lunch than both of us needed, I'd pass on the rice/beans in the future. Service was good. Attentive but everything was her favorite on the menu, not very helpful. Seating in indoors or out.

My server was pretty slow and seemed distracted, sometimes gone for 20 minutes at a time. I basically had to lock eyes with him just to get his attention. He was a younger guy, so hopefully he tightens that up. Also, if someone notes in their reservation that they're bringing a baby and a car seat, it would make more sense to seat them at a booth instead of in the middle of the restaurant, especially when booths are open. Overall, I'd say it was about a 7/10 experience.

And no hygiene ! We were ready to leave after we ate a food my nephews couldn't eat , and we asked if they would give us something else, and will pay the difference or extra $$ for it just please exchange it for us! they said whatever you buy you must eat it, and the worker or the manager by the register rudly said we need to clean the table because it's not their job to clean after us!

I got the al pastor taco plate which is an all day deal for $9.99. Al pastor had lots of flavor and even came w diced pineapple. Lots of sauces available at the sauce bar, Jalapeño Salsa is the best one!! The only thing is that the normal price is kinda steep for a normal taco spot, sitting around $4-5 per taco...I do feel that the taco is worth maybe $3 each especially because they aren't fully loaded tacos. Service was great, the guy at the front was super helpful and patient, he even made sure we got our good pretty swiftly. Ambiance is fine, it's an order then eat type of situation. Lots of seating available inside and lots of parking available as well in the complex. Store is located in an easy spot to see from the street as well.

    We came in on a rainy Friday late afternoon to enjoy happy hour and catch up with friends. Our…read moreserver was very patient with us and didn't rush us. The first drink I ordered was delicious. Their signature old fashioned is made with mezcal and had a nice smoky flavor. The 2nd one was definitely off and the server mentioned something about it being different and that I should taste it. It was overly strong and it didn't have the same taste as the first. I just poured the ice from the first drink into it but I really should have sent it back. Cocktails are $10 during happy hour but otherwise they are $16 and not worth getting in my opinion. The happy hour guacamole trio was okay but there was no distinction between the three types flavor-wise. The ceviche presentation was nice but it also lacked flavor. The tacos were more flavorful but small. They were nicely presented. It is cutely decorated inside but the music made it hard to talk because it was too loud. I probably won't be back when there are better choices in Geneva for the same type of food. I want to give it another half a star but I chose to round down rather than up mainly for lack of flavor, bad 2nd drink and higher than necessary pricing off the main menu.

We started with a few drink specials..Ala Margarita and Altiro Old Fashion. Each drink was 10.00 and very good. For starters we tried the Al Trio Guacamole which all tasted the same. We also had their Al Ceviche which was very good in presentation but not much flavor. I also tried the Al Camaleon tacos which were 4 small tacos of grilled shrimp,bacon,lime,garlic aioli and avocado. Flavorful but small in size for the price. You definitely want to try to go for Happy Hour as their prices are high and portions are small.
