    trabuco general store
    Timmy S.

    This little country store is located in the middle of nowhere but within walking distance to O'Neill Park so it has a lot of snacks, drinks (sodas and beer), ice cream treats, and other items and sundries that the folks camping there might want. But locals like me might also find themselves stopping in to grab a snack while driving by. The exterior has an eclectic, retro-rural vibe with a few picnic tables to sit and enjoy a snack or drink if you so desire. The interior is equally funky and offers exactly what you'd expect at a neighborhood convenience store. I was running a bunch of errands and just wanted some snacks to munch on while driving so got a Cliff Bar and some Zinger mini cupcakes (don't judge me). I noticed their chip shelves were meager on that particular day but they had plenty of weird-brand sodas in the cooler. Prices were expectedly on the high side. The guy working here is nice but not chatty - very uncommunicative - which some reviewers don't like but I think adds to the store's character.

    Here's a "Taco Tuesday" hidden gem in South OC that few people seem to know about. I recently discovered the Trabuco General Store (near O'Neill Park) that has delicious tacos every Tuesday for just $2 each. The store itself feels like you're stepping back in time with their old school vibes and decor. They sell a variety of grocery items, drinks, locally made items (jams, syrups, wine, etc.) and various knick knacks inside. And while that's all fine and good, I really came for their Taco Tuesday! Every Tuesday, they have a vendor who comes out and sets up the grill and cooks the tacos outside of their store. Basically it's a man and wife and their 2 children. The tacos are available every Tues. from 5-8 pm, although the day that I went, the taco vendor had arrived late and they weren't set up until 20-30 minutes later. You may want to call the store ahead of time to make sure they will be there on the day you plan to go. I ordered the carnitas, al pastor, pollo and carne asada tacos. Those were the 4 different types of meats that were being offered that day. Basically you stand in line (cafeteria style), tell them what kind of tacos you want (and how many), then let them know if you'll be eating outside on the adjacent benches or taking the tacos to go. I took mine to go and they wrapped them up in foil for me. They have cilantro, limes and salsa as well, although they ran out of plastic to-go containers when I was there. I heard through the grapevine that they often sell out around 7pm - 7:30pm, so it's best to arrive before that time. Also, I don't know if they take credit cards, so it's best to bring cash. If you want sodas or a drink, you can pop into the Trabuco General Store for that. Now on to the tacos! The meats are incredibly tender and flavorful. The tortillas, which I believe are handmade, are heated up on the grill as you wait and you get 2 tortillas per taco. For $2 per taco, it's quite a deal! I ordered 6 tacos to go (4 for my husband and 2 for me) and that was enough for both of us. If you live in the area (Trabuco Canyon, RSM, Coto de Caza, Mission Viejo, etc.) I highly recommend checking them out on Taco Tuesday. If you don't live nearby, I still think it's worth the trip if you love good tacos at a great price!

    Visited yesterday to get ice cream while camping. Poor selection with terrible & unfriendly service. I'm not sure he said 1 word to us. Definitely did not feel welcome.

    Shell - This was after the car wash! Still so dirty

    I was almost out of fuel, this gas station was the closest. I stopped and noticed each card I…read moretried was rejected. I went inside, no one was at the register. A man (after this interaction- I cannot call him a man!) was incredibly rude and told me (exact words) "get the fuck out" "leave Bitch" I asked him why he was being so rude! He said "fuck you, do you want me to call the cops on you!" I politely asked him to help me understand 1. Why I was being treated this way, and 2. How can I get gas please? He again said "fuck you, you are not getting gas, leave" I finally cussed back, why are you being such a jerk and an asshole to customers?! Why are you telling me to fuck off - fuck you you dick!" All the while, another employee had watched for a minute and I asked does he always act like this? What the fuck?? I will be calling corporate- not that it will get me anywhere- looks like others have tried that and appears there have been no Changes. How does Shell allow this? I have a picture of his car/license plate. I ultimately left and got fuel elsewhere- I will never return there! Nothing works including the lazy inconsiderate and blatantly rude staff!

    Very mediocre. They always put a $200 hold on my credit card (why???) and the pumps are always out…read moreof receipt paper. I don't think I've ever been able to get a receipt without going inside, which is really annoying when I've paid for a car wash. It's honestly the fact that I have to walk inside and wait in line for my car wash receipt that I hate this gas station as much as I do. It's like they don't value your time at all. I don't know why I keep going back. Probably because I'm always passing it on the way home.
