FACT STORM
Amazing food..dare I say the best Mexican in Orland Park? It must be embarrassing for Mexican restaurants around knowing they’re beat by a hole in the wall, inside a gas station! This is the only place within miles which serves pierna..and I wager many people don’t even know what that is. Also, their pastor is crispy, flavourful & succulent. I took away one star because the prices are outrageous..but where aren’t they outrageous nowadays?

El Mezcal is very good and they have a steady flow of customers coming in for pickup so the turnover of food is never a problem. The owner is very personable and takes a lot of pride in his restaurant. The service is excellent and the food is always hot and made to order. The only issue I have is they are a bit pricey and it really adds up when it comes time to pay the check. A small guacamole ($11.00) , and bottled soda ($3.75) each, not to mention our dinners. That’s Mucho Dinero for a small Mexican restaurant inside a gas station ⛽️

Really good small Mexican restaurant, service always on point, kind of hidden by being inside the bp gas station but overall highly recommended, one of my favorite spots to get menudo.

This is a very cute restaurant, it’s located inside the gas station but it has it’s own space. The food quality is great and it felt freshly made. I was skeptical at first due to it’s location, I am glad I tried it.

Looking for a place to eat and had the craving for mexican. It happened to be Cinco de Mayo so I found this place but was a little reluctant when I found out it was part of a gas station. Read some reviews after I pulled in and they were all very positive on the food so I walked in. Would love to have tried it but make a long story short I sat around for 50 minutes after I ordered a burrito and 2 tacos to go because there were no clean tables to sit down at. I finally walked back up to the counter after the 50 minutes and just got my money back. They were soooo slow due to short staff…. long wait times even at 7:30. I contemplated walking out when I saw the train wreck going on, but reading the reviews I really wanted to try the food. I never imagined I’d sit around for 50 minutes waiting for a burrito. Unfortunately, I was starving and the 50 minutes felt like an hour and a half. For that matter, it might as well been. They need to hire a bus boy to clean tables, and another server wouldn’t be a bad idea. One guy is trying to wait on the whole place and not that it’s huge but probably 15 tables. Maybe a really good experienced server could pull it off, but he was anything but lightning. The whole place seems to run like molasses. It’s unfortunate cuz it’s a cute place, and the girl was friendly and apologetic saying it’s Cinco de mayo we have a lot of orders blah blah blah. I said yeah even more reason to plan ahead and staff up. Absolutely ridiculous wait times.
