This spot is in my hometown and I've been meaning to check it out ever since they were mentioned in the news and various food articles. At first I almost missed it - it isn't a separate cafe, it's literally just a counter in a gas station store. So I didn't expect much from such a setting. But i was caught off guard- these must be some of the best tacos I've had in the Boston area. The chicken is tender and juicy and full of flavor, pico and onions are fresh, and they are generously stuffed. Somehow they even made the pinto beans incredible. So much better than the 1 bite tacos commonly found in the city. So glad I finally stopped by. 3 tacos - $16.50 (tax/auto tip? Included) read more

I would probably never recommend a taco place inside a gas station... but here we are. This place is so good. All the ingredients are fresh and you get a choice between corn or flour tortillas for your tacos. $12 for 3 tacos. That's a good deal. The meats are so flavorful and the toppings are more in line with authentic Mexican. I didn't see sour cream or cheese. It's more like pico and cilantro and hot sauces. Seating is limited but you and find two tables around the back to sit outside. The Service was great but it's kind of funny to be asking for tacos while people are in line to fill up their gas tanks. A hidden gem for sure. read more

Literally a taco bar and a gas station. I think they might have a counter really for takeout. The food is excellent. The woman who makes the tacos is pleasant. The guy who checks you out is quite nice as well. I've had three different type of tacos there all . Highly recommended! read more

LEGIT!!! Do not be turned off by the fact that it's in a gas station! The food is great! I had the birria tacos. Juicy and delicious! 3 was enough. 6" tortillas and lots of meat! The toppings were fresh. All super yummy! The fact that they eveen have birria and barbacoa available let's you know it's a step above your average taqueria! read more

Yo Boca Taco - Do NOT be turned off by the fact that it's in a gas station! Gas is basically just a side business here. - Tacos Near Me - Wayland, Massachusetts

Yuuummm! Been here a couple times now and so happy to have it close by. The meat is beyond tender. Love the nachos with the queso on top...has a small amount of heat and the corn is a nice addition. Flour and corn tortillas for the tacos, don't forget to get the sauces! Burritos are pretty big and tasty and the quesadilla is filled with cheese galore. Can't wait to try the breakfast burrito! Service is awesome! I placed an order over the phone and they heard me talking to my husband about black beans and when he got home they had put a side of them in there for us to try...love that! And they were good by the way. Parking is limited. There are some picnic tables outside. P.S. If it's dinner time be prepared to wait. read more

Yo Boca Taco - Tacos Near Me - Wayland, Massachusetts

This place came highly recommended to me. Go into the gas station. Yes, it's in a gas station! The chef guided me through the process of making the soft taco as I am a taco rookie. I didn't take a photo but I'll be back soon ready to take photos of my new experience. FYI. There's a picnic table outside on the grass on side of the station read more

Amazing food, huge portions, friendly staff. It tasted homemade. I would bring anyone here to impress them with the cuisine. Yum

First time there. Chicken taco and loaded nachos. Everything was delicious. Will definitely return.

The food at Yo Boca is delicious! I drive past the restaurant and gas station every day on my way home from work, but only just discovered the place last week. The meats are tender, the toppings are fresh, and the service is great--really tasty food all around. It's a bit surprising to find such amazing food attached to a gas station, but the convenience is a bonus. It's right on the main road with plenty of parking, making it an easy stop to grab food. As a California transplant living in New England, I've often been disappointed by the local Mexican food scene. I've lived in Massachusetts for many years and tried lots of places, but this one beats them all. I'm really glad to finally have a great Mexican restaurant nearby again. My only regret is not learning of Yo Boca sooner!! read more

Have been going to YBT for over a year. Have never had a bad experience. I order ahead and pick up most days - great process. Everyone working there is friendly. I drive 20 minutes out of my way for their food. I only wish they were open a little later for night burrito bowls! Every ingredient is flavorful. I literally dream about the pinto beans. You can tell a lot of love and commitment to the process has gone into the food. No other place comes close! Would give extra stars for 90s hip hop references and great vibe. If you have not gone, get there and while you are at it, fill your tank and grab some scratch tickets - maybe you will win enough for tacos for life! ;-) My only warning is that YBT will ruin all other burrito and taco places for you. read more

Driving back towards Boston from Wayland, we spied a sign on the Gulf station that said "tacos". We were guessing that it's a hidden gem...and we were absolutely right. We each had two chicken (street) tacos and shared a cheese quesadilla. Perfection. So good. Don't be deterred by the fact that it's a gas station/small convenience store. Get the tacos!! read more

Wanted this place to be good so badly. Unfortunately, went there for fundraiser that was advertised and they had no idea what I was talking about. I ordered food anyways, and it was too spicy to eat. read more

Best gas station tacos (or any tacos) around. Friendly staff and fresh ingredients. Could not ask for a better experience. Definitely worth driving to. read more

I love these tacos!!! It is a cute small business and they have delicious meats and nice crunchy onions and cilantro. This is my favorite place to go for tacos and I appreciate their prices! The owner is a great guy and it's all around a nice place to be. I need to try their street corn nachos and açaí bowl. Great stuff! read more

Since moving from California to Boston, I haven't been able to find good Mexican food. This hole-in-the-wall place (in a gas station!) scratches the itch and tastes great! The chips aren't homemade, so I wouldn't recommend that - but the burrito bowl and the quesadilla with birria are amazing. read more

Ordered online. Glad I did. Line was ridiculous when I Ickes up on a Thursday evening at 6:30. But my food was ready and handed over promptly. Burrito and quesadilla were excellent My nachos were soggy but that's my fault for not eating them until an hour later. The he other food sustained the wait. read more

This was our first visit to YBTaco. Service and ambiance were acceptable. Prices were a bit high for what you get which we will get into now. Now the tocos are another matter. I have eaten tacos all my life from coast to coast. From El Paso to Chicago to Palo Alto. I am neither an expert nor connoisseur, and I occasionally make my own chorizo burritos, and menudo. I can tell one taco from another and the taste and seasoning of those that are good and those that are questionable. We may have caught YBT in Wayland on a "bad day", but the tacos leave a lot to be desired: 1. We each got a 3-tacos take out plate of carnitas, barbacoa, and chicken. 2. All 6 tacos looked the same, and all 6 were dripping broth like that of birria. 3. But the worst part is that all 6 tacos TASTED the same! I know since I reluctantly finished 2 of my 3 tacos, and 1 1/2 of my wife's tacos which she refused to eat. Please be aware, the tacos did not taste bad, but they were bland. They were drippy and all had the same birria taste and texture. That's not an easy server mistake to make and the order was given directly to the taco makers in-person. It's the vendor's responsibility to get the order right. I must say the corn tortillas were fresh and made softer by the dripping birria broth which made the tacos difficult to get hold of, lift and take a bite of while trying to avoid dripping broth on yourself. I can't remember having a slippery taco before. For $29.00, it's highly unlikely we will go back, and if asked about YBT by family or friends we will reluctantly give it 2-stars. If questioned, likely 1 star. Again, we may have caught YBT in Wayland on a "bad day", but the tacos leave a lot to be desired. read more

I am vegan, so I ordered all the sides, which are vegan, they charged me three dollars extra, because they don't have a container, and therefore can't sell those items without selling me a bowl, so it is fraud I told him I would not pay, he pulled the food back, they should be shut down by the state, illegal behavior! read more

Absolutely delicious tacos in an unexpected location. Swung by here to get gas and noticed the taqueria inside. Had the barbacoa - great flavor, perfect cook on the meat. Salsa verde was tasty. Nice people working inside. No complaints, would come back if I'm out this way. read more

A truly classic hole in the wall eatery that serves up some great tacos, burritos, etc. and at prices that make you smile. Best of all, the lines are short. read more

A quasi speakeasy taco stand inside a gas station - I hesitate to share it because you hate for these gems to get overrun, but at the same time you want them to make a lot of money because they're so great. It's a big thumbs up for me. I got the three beef Barbacoa tacos and the meat was outstanding. They had Birria on the menu but it wasn't available today, and no Al Pastor to my disappointment. However the taste of the Barbacoa more than made up for it. The only thing I change is for the tortillas to automatically be corn tortillas, instead they used flour tortillas which I don't really like for street style tacos. Very friendly and fast staff. If you don't know you'd never see it or check it out. People in Massachusetts aren't used to good food coming out of gas stations, but having lived in Los Angeles for 25 years I'm familiar with the excellent food stands that can be in these little stations. Some of the best tacos, Indian food, and Filipino food I've ever had were from gas stations ! Very much looking forward to trying out other things on their small but solid menu. There is A small counter space for seating in the window, also a small seating area outside in a side yard, otherwise most people are taking it to go. This is an IYKYK!! read more

Delicious and affordable Mexican food. The breakfast tacos are definitely the highlight for me but you'll also want extra salsa. Really welcome little business that is very speedy as well. There's not much to the interior, but that doesn't matter when you can get $7 breakfast tacos this good. read more

Yo Boca Taco - Pork tacos in corn tortillas with added jalapeno. - Tacos Near Me - Wayland, Massachusetts

It's fine. Do I think it's the cleanest place? I do not and I don't like their guacamole and I think that's a huge problem! But everyone should try it because it's a great business and a great way to support small businesses! read more

This place is amazing! Wonderful food and the best service. I think about these nachos every day!

Not the best place for vegetarians. A vegetarian taco just means a bunch of tortillas with nothing in them but a sprinkling of cheese and tomatoes for the same price as the ones full of meat. Very disappointing. The service was very unfriendly, but it is at a gas station, so I didn't expect much. read more

Yo Boca Taco - Veggie tacos - Tacos Near Me - Wayland, Massachusetts

I retried Yo Boca Taco this past week and I thought this was very good. I'm wondering if the first time was a bad day? I had chorizo tacos and my wife had a carnitas burrito- all items were very tasty. The tacos were well seasoned and had great meat to veggie ratios. The burrito was expertly rolled and the inside was blended perfectly. It was like we ate at another place. Goes to show you should always give a second chance! read more

Excellent tacos, burritos and bowls. The meats are seasoned very well and things like the carnitas are just incredible. I was blown away at the nachos with street corn. I highly recommend trying them out. read more

Solid tacos , I was shocked it was a gas station outfit and was very skeptical . Don't be , go in , get the tacos and you'll be a happy camper ! read more

Yo Boca Taco - Chicken tacos with cheese - Tacos Near Me - Wayland, Massachusetts

The most authentic and delicious take out Mexican food around. In a gas station, so a little sketchy, but the food is worth it! They never seem to have guacamole when I go even though it is on their menu. read more

The tacos are great. They may not be the best tacos you've ever had, but they are filled to the brim with really delicious meats and topped with simple salsa and cilantro and onions, just the way street tacos should be. They aren't as crazy as the way some people prep their tacos, but you get your money's worth and I'm a big fan of the small flour tortillas even though I know corn is more traditional. The real treasure here is the guy behind the bar. You could probably get me to go just to hear him say "Thanks brother" and for the inspirational quotes on the wall. A little ray of sunshine in a sometimes gloomy world. If it's the weekend, grab a Modelo Chelada and a three pack of tacos and sit out in the sun for a happy afternoon. read more

Gas station tacos Scared? Don't be! Didn't the original KFC (Not the corporate behemoth we have today, the real deal Colonel Sanders) from our millennial and boomer childhoods start at a gas station too? Ok this place is probably not going to have an origin story like that but if you're looking for a homey, unpretentious, tasty quick bite to get you through the day then Yo Boca Taco is worth trying! It is exactly that, a small taco kinda place built right into a convenience store that services I think a gulf oil gas station. I got their breakfast tacos and some cheese quesadillas. Their menu gives you like two or three of each so you can't just buy one. At first glance I thought my order was messed up. Everything was foil wrapped and one of the pouches looked so small I thought they forgot something. The cheese quesadillas were super flat. That said they did seem to use some "real" cheese so it's not like cheddar or American cheese. That's fine by me. I'm just saying it's not like a quesadilla like you'd get from Annas taqueria. I would skip the (cheese only) quesadillas though maybe try it with meat Anyways it's called yo boca taco not yo boca quesadilla. The breakfast tacos were petite but tasty and filled with a lot of filling, bursting out. Really nicely seasoned. I don't know if the eggs, potatoes, chorizo in it were precooked but I also don't care. It tasted great. If this is their breakfast taco I would definitely want to try their other tacos later! There's some jarritos in the fridge at a *gasp* 2.49 per bottle to go with your meal if you choose. A nice place to try, especially if your car needs a refill. Would be cool to see its own food truck or cafe one day but until then, don't let the location scare you off. read more

This place is awesome! Please don't be confused by the fact it's attached to a gas station. My favorite is the beef tacos. The meat is always extremely flavorful. The portions are more than generous given the price. Definitely were stopping by for a fun lunch! read more

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Holy sh!t the breakfast tacos are good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure to add cilantro and jalapeños read more

The Sturbridge, MA location is bad. The staff was friendly but the food was very underwhelming. Very little flavor. Bland rice. Bland carnitas. Barely any toppings. And somehow a burrito bowl, a burrito, and chips was almost 30 dollars for food that is below Chipotle quality. read more

Great for breakfast or lunch! I was pleasantly surprised to have them show up in my search for "breakfast tacos" one morning. They scratch that itch for breakfast tacos for sure. IYKYK. Love their salsas and their tacos are great in flavor. KC is a very hands on business owner and wants to ensure you're happy with the product! read more

Fantastic carnitas burrito. Rice/bean balance was excellent and the carnitas was some of the best I have ever had.

Went on a Sunday around opening and unfortunately the Birria wasn't ready yet. However my wife and I loved the chicken tacos. You can taste the fresh. We will definitely be back to try the Birria. Believe the hype and try it yourself! read more
