The food was good. The quesabirria came on a flour tortilla, so make sure you ask for corn/maiz. The consomé was rich and delicious! We will be back.

look forward to coming here. With that being said the carne asada burrito is good but no consistency with the amount of meat they put in the burrito. The price went up the and the size of the burrito got smaller. Like everywhere I am not happy about this. I do apologize now this is the right location for this review.

This place made me moist. My only gripe is that the rolled tacos seemed bland, as in most of the flavor came from the guacamole and sour cream. I will certainly be back. It’s nice because I can buy drugs from my dealer behind the gas station while I wait for my order to be made

SO GOODDD!! I had never been here before so I decided to stop by and give it a try. I had wanted fries with carnitas instead of carne asada and let me tell you it DID NOT DISSAPOINT. It was sooo packed in flavor best carnitas we’ve had in a while and the fries were just perfect we will definitely be coming back to try other menu items!!

Really good Mexican food. Have been trying to find good birria tacos around Tempe and this has to be on the top so far. It’s not the best tacos I’ve ever had but it’s really good, I would definitely go back. Also it’s in the Shell gas station lol didn’t mind it but I thought it was funny.

It Is definitely on my list on where to eat whenever I visit Phoenix. I went twice to have the Mar y Tierra Burrito without sour cream, very delicious.

Ok, yes it’s inside of a shell station but this is not gas station food ! Everything there is made from scratch at the time of purchase. The ingredients are fresh and the recipes are authentic .

The food is excellent. The employees are great. The space to eat is not very big. It is cleaned. Decently. Unfortunately some of the work crews who come in to eat are jerks and that doesn’t make the atmosphere the best.
