This review is only for their Birrira tacos. Come here for Birria tacos. I may have been eating crappy birria tacos my whole life until now but the meat was so tender and everything was so juicy like i dont think i had to rely on the consume to make everything juicy and moist. We had the carne asada fries. fries are great. ,the meat here was a bit dry but overall a great experience. I havent had the tacos yet but will be back... but THE BIRRIA TACOS. thats all. read more

11/10 incredible! We had the birria with consume, chicken taco combo, and the weekend special grilled chicken. It was all incredible. Great salsa both green and red. Great beans and rice. So happy to find out new taco spot! read more

Love their chicken burritos here. You can taste the cilantro and onions they put in it. I always add guac to mine. Burritos are super filling and soft. Decent size and price. read more

Meh, for me the taco meat was lacking flavor. I had the chicken tacos and I did not notice any seasoning or marination. The tacos are wrapped in double corn tortillas and the toppings are fresh. The zanahorias en escabeche was fresh and seemed homemade. Overall, these are just OK and a good option if you're open to a just OK meal. The beans were really good! I think the rice was a bit bland. read more

Gas station tacos? Absolutely. The taco station is a quick place to grab your food while relaxing outside we got aguachiles, and three tacos: tongue, head, and a jerky style taco. Everything was amazing and fast. Definitely worth going. read more

It is good but definitely not the best, there are other better taco spots around the area.. The carne asada fries and cali burrito were really delicious but the taco meat was lacking seasoning. I would come back for the fries however in general the onion chunks were so big. Service was very fast and there are only places to sit outside since it is attached to a gas station. read more

I saw this place on one of the social media apps and wanted to try it when I was in the area. It was really good, I loved the Azteca taco with Cecina, which was a thin flank steak. I know Cecina as jerky but this is NOT dried. It was fresh and delicious. It's located in a small market, meat market and taco/burrito stand and they have some seating outside. You can enjoy whatever you buy to drink with your food. I don't know if they would allow you to drink alcohol outside, now that I think about it. There were some officers getting their lunch so I would have to ask. The ladies taking our order were super nice and the food came out quickly. read more

The only reason why I heard about this place was because a coworker recommended this place to me. I went with a different coworker and when I arrived, I was both surprised and not surprised. I heard it was in a gas station but man, it was not the nicest of locations. I went into the convenient store and there it was, the taco station on the left corner of the store. Ordering was a little confusing at first since there isn't a cash register. However, the person told me to place my order and pay at the cashier for the gas station convenience store. No big deal. All quirks of this place. As for the food, it was mostly delicious. I will say, the tacos tasted good, the meat was delicious, and the consumé (I don't know how it's spelled haha) was good! The only reason why I'm knocking down a star was that one of the tacos had an excessive amount of caked on burnt crumbs from the dirtiness of the griddle. I peeled off a decent amount of it, but it wasn't appealing to see on my tacos. Other than that, everything else was good. I'll probably come back again! read more

This hit the spot. Ever catch yourself thinking "im feelin tacos rn"?? Go HERE. Fast, delicious, and cheap. Inside of a gas station, so no real spot to sit, but good parking! The burrito was huge but i housed it. They give you salsa on the side which was really good, but they give you small cups of em so maybe ask for double if u can. I will be coming here for my taco fix from now on, and YOU SHOULD TOO! ((I cant speak to their chips... if they have any. I didnt check, to be honest.)) read more

The tacos were good, I got the azteca taco that had cecina with the cactus, the asada and cabeza. The cabeza was soft, the asada was ok the cecina was pretty good along with the catcus. The salsas were also decent. It's in a market station so you can grab your own drinks and snacks too. The staff was nice and helpful with the choices on the menu. The seating is outside with a couple of propped umbrellas which is nice during the hot days. Overall decent place. read more

First time trying this place Ordered a taco, burrito and nachos. The cecina meat on the taco was soft and flavorful. The meat and toppings on the nachos were good. The nacho chips were about 90-% burnt. The burrito was ok until my wife bit into a rock. Salsas are good. Overall horrible first experience. read more

Good food, Tacos are okay in comparison to local food trucks. Elote is so good. Expect the wait to be very long and for it to be packed in there. They allowed my pup to come in but we chose to wait for our food outside because it was so busy. Good if you want a variety of mexican food read more

The Taco Station - Chicken and carne asada taco - Tacos Near Me - Tustin, California

This taco spot is located inside a convenience store that also has a carnicería, liquor, and a panadería selection. We got an asada burrito, asada fries, 2 taco plate, & an agua de tamarindo. The food was overall good but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. I did really like the agua de tamarindo though and I would probably go back just for that and maybe try the birria next time. Service was good, the lady taking our order was friendly but I would suggest you double check your receipt, and that it is written correctly bc where they take your order is not the same area you pay. The lady had written down $36.50 on our order receipt and with tax at the register it was $39 They did have a lot of different snacks and drinks to choose from and I was pretty excited they stock barebells protein bars here! Sadly the chamoy candy I got had melted together but they also have other brands. read more

We came up to this convenience store to buy winning Powerball tickets.. you can congratulate me tomorrow... The tacos are amazing! Service is fantastic and parking is easy. I didn't think the area was sketchy at all.. just a lot of hard working folks getting some delicious food. Carne Asada tacos were great but the pollo asado (chicken) tacos were even better! Nice family run place with a little store inside.. do yourself a favor and try some non chain restaurants.. you will be glad you did. read more

Great quick tacos and more. Inside The Station Market, stopping to grab a lottery ticket and was hungry so I checked out the menu and took a chance. Two gals behind the counter were friendly and helpful choosing what to get. Grabed two carne tacos and two chicken tacos, after they showed me the meat. Great amount on me and the tacos and the typical cilantro and onions. Salsa were good both of rojo and Verde and three nice juicy slices of lime and some salt. Also threw a couple nice roasted peppers in my meal which really heated it up a bit. Seat in front are nice with umbrellas and shade and there's more seating in the back of the front is filled up. Next time I'm at Alex's tires getting my work done, I'll definitely stop in again. read more

The Taco Station - Two Carne Asada and two chicken tacos - Tacos Near Me - Tustin, California

Was browsing on YouTube for food options near Tustin and saw this place featured by ObiEats. I love hole-in-the-wall places that cook delicious food and a taco stand in a corner market fit the bill! I'd never seen or heard of cecina steak tacos before, so I was even more intrigued. As soon as we stepped out of the car, we were greeted with the incredible aroma of chicken being grilled outside, which only happens on weekends. We walked over to look and the chicken looked phenomenal. We walked into the market and could see the taco station from the entrance. Everything was clean and the menu was easy to read, with only a few options to choose from, and pricing was phenomenal! The lady who took our order was so friendly and efficient. We ended up ordering a few cecina tacos with nopales for $.50 more, a carne asada taco, a two-taco combo with asada, 3 birria tacos with consome, carne asada nachos, and horchatas. The food came out quickly and was piping hot right off the grill. We brought everything outside and sat down at one of the small tables to eat. The cecina tacos lived up to their hype - the meat was tender with a smoky flavor, and perfectly counterbalanced by the pickled nopales, a pinch of lime, and salsa, and folded into a corn tortilla. I didn't get a chance to try the birria tacos with consome as my son inhaled them, but he said it was the best he's ever had and was already asking if we could come back. The carne asada fries were flavorful with the perfect amount of gooey cheese and fresh carne asada, but somehow also didn't feel too heavy. We all agreed that the horchata was the best we'd ever had - not sickeningly sweet, but just right with a hint of cinnamon and a lightly creamy finish. My daughter typically doesn't prefer Mexican food and she was squealing with delight, asking if we could get more if we were still hungry. My wife even ended up buying another cecina taco with nopales, and the lady topped it with grilled onions and a grilled skinny pepper this time. The kids wanted more horchata and we were prepared to buy another cup, but she told us a refill was on the house, so we added more to the tip jar. Hands-down, this was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. If you're in the area, I'm not sure how you're not coming here every day, as $2.99-3.49 for street tacos with a healthy amount of meat is an incredible deal, and the people who work there are warm and friendly. We will absolutely be coming back, and if you've never been here, you should make a point to come! read more

Food is great and well-priced. Staff are nice too. Interesting set up(inside a convenience store converted from a gas station.

Just perfection!! Seriously, these tacos had us all noisy eating, like mmmm, oh yeah, damnnnn. Z was at the front and super kind. I didn't know what a Cecina taco was and he helped us pick out the best tacos. We ordered a cecina with cactus (would die for this), 1 asada (soft and juicy), 1 chicken Al pastor (so flavorful!), 2 birria, and 1 fish and shrimp (this was so good! They chopped up the fish and shrimp together). After that, I had to go back for a few more! I went back to order another cecina, asada, and al pastor chicken. I was full as hell, but it was a clean full. Not like I just ate a sh*t ton of Taco Bell and wanted to kill myself. They also make some REALLY amazing fresh juices. Try the Tamarind (more in the sweet side) and Jamaica (more tangy kinda like cranberry, to me it tastes like that). I'll be supporting this place weekly, no joke. Well done Z!! read more

My boyfriend and I had a heavy lunch so we wanted a light dinner. Tacos seemed to be an east quick option so we ended up yelping some taco spots in the area. We found The Taco Station, which is located inside of a liquor store. Small private lot or street parking available. They had a small simple menu. My boyfriend had the Combo #1 ($8.99) 2 tacos, rice and beans, but for tacos in the combo you can only choose chicken or asada, which he got the asada. He also added a Cabeza Taco ($3.49). I had a Lengua Taco ($3.49) and a Chicken Al Pastor Taro ($2.99). They gave us a ticket and told us to pay the cashier, which is the same cashier for the whole liquor store. There wasn't seating inside and only a few small tables outside so we decided to take it home. The tortillas didn't transport well even though it wasn't a far drive back. I tried the rice and beans that came with the boyfriend's combo, not impressed. My lengua was tender and cooked well but SO BLAND! Even with the salsa, it couldn't save the blandness of the taco. The chicken al pastor had better flavor by compare but not good enough for me to come back. Nice to try a new spot but I'll probably explore other spots the next time I have a tacos craving. read more

Nearly the best birria tacos in all Orange County!! 10 out of 10. Your mouth will demand more, you'll be full and wanting more. read more

Tacos are different than a standard build. You get one large taco for $13-$15, with rice on a large tortilla as a base and your choice of protein along with a side of house made tortilla chips and salsa. I had the mahi taco, which came with a ranch sauce that I was not very partial towards, but the cabbage was very fresh! My boyfriend had a classic taco with seasoned beef which also came with beans, lettuce, and tomatoes. VERY GOOD and both tacos were very filling. I would definitely came back again and try the Kulua pork! read more

When I heard Taco Station was set up inside of a liquor store, I knew it was going to be good! Tacos range in price from $2.99 (asada, pollo, chicken al pastor) to $3.49 (cecina, lengua, birria, cabeza) each. They take your order (service is very friendly) and then you pay for it at the liquor store register. I got three tacos - chicken al pastor, asada and birria - all topped with cilantro and onions. I've never seen a chicken al pastor, only pork. It was so flavorful that I was pretty sure the other tacos would pale in comparison. Boy was I wrong! The asada was even better, especially with the red and green salsas added. and the birria was very tender. Burritos and tortas are also on the menu, along with carne asada fries and chilaquiles. There's a carniceria attached, with a variety of meats, some marinated, and even fish. As far as seating, there's only a few tables outside. I was lucky to get there before the lunch rush and scored a table with shade. read more

Amazing spot! I had the 2 taco combo with beans and rice. Everything was super flavorful and the staff is really kind. Definitely coming back and I love that it's connected to a quick shop so there's tons of snack and drink options to pair with food. read more

The customer service was great but that's about it . I gave this place a try because of the reviews and comments but the food was awful. I had birria taco and the flavor was bland not flavorful at all . The consome was gross it tasted water down with tap water . The tacos were okay the tortilla was almost like stale and the burrito was the most edible one . The horchata one of the most bland and water down I've ever had. You can tell they use tap water it is as gross . Cashier was nice . read more

4.5 for their carne asada fries $13 for a pretty good size portion, good amount of toppings and sauce and felt pretty balanced (some places leave you with too many fries and not enough "stuff"). Good flavors and fast service. Salsas were very good too. Our preference was the red salsa. read more

The family was craving Mexican food and decided to try this joint. It's located in a convenience/liquor store which made the decision even more intriguing. Their menu is simple making or decision easier. Ordered to go birria tacos with consommé, asada burrito, carne asada fries and carne quesadillas for the kiddos. All were exceptional and would definitely try this place again when I'm in Tustin. read more

The Taco Station is located within a convenience store that also has a carniceria. It's a family owned shop with multiple generations who are all friendly. You give your order at the counter and they'll give you a slip for you to pay at the convenience store counter. BREAKFAST BURRITO ($9.99) - this was your typical breakfast burrito. There were a good amount of potatoes and besides that nothing else really stood out. 3/5 CALIFORNIA BURRITO ($11.99) - I got this without beans hoping there would be less filler but there was still a lot of filler from the rice. This was also not your typical California burrito because it didn't had guacamole. I wasn't a fan. 3/5 CARNE ASADA FRIES ($11.99) - there were good portions of carne asada. I wish there was more of the other stuff but it was not bad for the price. 4/5 BIRRIA TACO ($3.49) - this was a bigger taco with a large portion of meat on top. This was really good. 4/5 It's a small menu with only tacos, burritos, and some special items. The portion sizes were pretty good for the prices but some of their items were a little lacking. read more

Sunday 7/27 my husband and I placed an order for a special, which is a roasted chicken that comes with rice, beans, tortillas, salsa, and a agua de Jamaica. We were standing outside waiting to get someone's attention to place our order. The lady with colored hair saw us and completely ignored us, then finally came to take our order a little later. We then went inside to order a chicken burrito and while we were waiting for our food, we noticed our food was ready but it was sitting on the counter for some time and we didn't want to just go up and grab it. Finally we decided to ask if it was our order and they said yes. We normally like to ask for some of the red sauce they use for the chilaquiles but last time we asked for it, the lady taking our order said she put some in the bag. We found it to be a little rude because she didn't even double check, we haven't seen her before so we figured she was new but the sauce they use for the chilaquiles is a different sauce than the red sauce they normally provide. Today we didn't even want to bother asking for extra sauce, we just wanted to get out of there. No limes were provided either.. Long story short, we come here pretty often at least twice a week. Don't get me wrong the food is normally pretty good but the service has definitely downgraded. Not sure if that has to do with growth and popularity because they were a little busy today but they're definitely not as friendly, inviting, or attentive as before. Our orders have been wrong multiple times so make sure you double check yours before you leave. Food 5/5, the rice was a little hard today Service 2/5 read more

My friend picked us up lunch here and said the place was spotless, very clean. Friend said there was a long line but service was quick. Ok now the food. We got the carne asada burrito and carne asada fries. The stand out were the fries for sure!! They are not stingy with the meat at all, portion was good for two so we ended up splitting both the burrito and fries. The burrito was good but nothing stood out. For sure we will be back for the fries and now I want to taste the other meat options read more

Nice little taco stand in a converted gas station to convenience store. Basic menu, but good food and reasonable prices. Order at the station and pay at the register. I like my cabeza a bit fattier (OK, a lot fattier), but both the cabeza and lengua were very moist and flavorful. Salsas were good, with the red a little hotter than the green read more

It was my first time here, I ordered the today's special, shrimp ceviche, and the taste is out of this world. I never had a ceviche this tasty and fresh for a long time so I had to go back and ordered 2 more! They only had one left since it's limited, but I'm glad I was able to get the last one! The agua frescas are also made in house and refreshing. Everything made here was put with a lot of love. The people at The Taco Station are really kind as well. Definitely coming back to try their other daily specials in the future! read more
