    Asada nachos

    They are open again everybody! Same amazing nachos as 7 years ago thankfully. I was worried the flavor and the way they made it would be different but it's exactly the same. It's kind of weird going into a gas station/liquor store to eat but trust me this one. The have tacos,burritos,nachos and they are all yummy

    Behemoth burrito $4.99 + .50 guac

    Like many others have said to start off with this place you have to say three words: GAS STATION BURRITOS. Is not a four-star dining establishment, it's located in an Arco where the cashiers are surrounded by 360° of solid bullet-proof glass. (Funnily enough the taco ladies do not get any of this protection, I wonder why?) But if you can live with this you will be presented with a super heavy steak filled burrito that is definitely worth the five dollar price. It also comes with a small side of chips which isn't substantial but gets the job done. For prices ranging from about $1 to $2 you can also get soda which includes up to a 40 ounce cup with $1 refills. One negative is I wish they would give you some salsa they just put it in the burrito but you don't really have an extra portion of salsa to eat your burrito with. I also did have 1/2 pieces of gristly meat --- I'll say it again however: gas station. But honestly I'm reviewing a gas station here. For the price, convenience, and flavor it is definitely worth a visit!

    GAS STATION TACOS we call it at work. Order your tacos with the ladies at Taco Express then proceed to pay the cashier (with the bill) behind the ultra thick bullet resistant wall inside the gas station mini mart. Best thing about these tacos...you can pay by credit card or debit (I think there's a small fee for debit though). Tacos are made fresh and fast. The tacos are tasty (get the hot salsa rather than the mild) and they are affordable. We usually call in our orders and come pick them up by the dozens or two to share at work. You can also pick up your beverages or get gas as you wait for your tacos. Tacos here come with plain tortilla chips too. Just asked for some extra salsa. Carne Asada tacos are the best choice. I think they have other tacos also. I think $1.25 per taco. Not much of anything else on their menu besides tacos.

    Chorizo and egg burrito
    Eric B.

    This rating is for the chorizo and egg burrito only. Located inside a gas station with a simple menu that only offers chicken or beef, taco,s burritos, quesadillas, or tortas. However the breafast menu is where they shine. The breakfast burrito with chorizo is to die for!!

    Vegetarian super nachos for under $5.

    Tacos are 1.75 thats way to much! They go for 1$ or at most 1.25. Go to marias rico tacos or lax tacos for better pricing and taste

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

This time, we decided to give it another shot since it has so many good reviews, and I'm glad we did. The ambiance was much better, with nice Tulum-style vibes and music that really set the mood. From the moment we walked in, service was great. We were greeted and seated right away thanks to our reservation. Our waitress, Brenda, was friendly, attentive, and super helpful in explaining the menu and recommending drinks. She checked in often and made sure everything came out quickly. The food was good overall, though the menu is a bit limited if you don't eat meat or seafood. I was especially looking forward to the fish tacos, but it seems like they've been removed from the menu. One thing I really appreciated was the mocktail options. Perfect if you're not drinking but still want something fun. The Wes Colada is a great pick if you like piña colada type drinks, though it is on the sweeter side. The michelada was also really well done, with a nice balance of savory and sour. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.

Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried.

Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
