Gordo Ninos: Reviews & Ratings
they forgot my elote in my pickup order :( other than that great food!! tasty and the quesadilla and burrito were good portions. the street tacos were a tad smaller than i'm used to for the price. it was on the greasier side but well seasoned and filling. the salsas were reallyyyy good.
Yall! I saw the chef on Fox 26 news with Ruben for being nominated for top chef, I had to try his food, and woah, very impressed!! The Chips are so crunchy and crispy with the perfect amount of seasoning! The Salsa has some spice to it and when I put some on my Machete-Rito Burrito, jaw dropped! The Queso is cheesy, cheesy, my jaw also dropped when I put it on my Machete-Rito Burrito! The Guacamole is creamy, has the perfect flavor and you already know that my jaw dropped when I put it on my Machete-Rito Burrito! Now to the main event, the Machete-Rito Burrito! Holy smokes,it is absolutely incredible! Order it and I cannot wait to try more food!!
Omg this purple sauce is like crack... can't get enough!! Taco are priced right and loaded with meat. A true find for unbelievable tasty and great value. A true standout in Mexican food. Beware .... Additive....
Stopped here for my lunch break! The tacos were okay but the mitad fries were crazy good! It was half carne asada half chicken and each bite was perfectly drenched in queso and the creamy purple sauce and seasoned very well. The guy working at the front of the counter was kind and helpful and everyone in the kitchen looked like they were having a great time. The options for drinks and snacks were endless, we will be coming back for another cheat day!
Bomb ass tacos customer service is really good I recommend this place to anyone that wants good tacos inside this gas station but the tacos are fire.
Food was delicious got a pastor and carne asada killa dilla with that lean sauce! Delicious everytime just feel like they could fit a bit more meat in there but otherwise 5 stars!
let's start off with this places staple and what they're know for: lean sauce. INCREDIBLE. i have no clue how to describe it, it's like an elote crema base but it's garlicky and just insanely good on everything. i refuse to recommend a single item because i feel that they're all equally good in their own ways. just drench it in the sauce.
The best seasoned Flavorful tacos! Sauce HITS , Enjoyed the beans! Great service! Will be back to visit!
Food is always amazing! This time they gave Huckleberry a pup cup and we both left happy happy!!
I was in a hunt for hole-in-the-wall Mexican food and I'm glad this popped up on my Yelp search. I've driven along NASA but has never made a stop on this particular gas station (Chevron) that's why when the GPS took me here, I wasn't sure if I was in the correct address. I parked in front of the gas station looking for their sign and sure enough, it was a small sign on the wall. I wasn't quite sure about it since it's a gas station but since we were already there, we decided to check it out. As soon as we walked in, my kids just said "I wanna eat what I'm smelling"! It does smell like amazing Mexican food has been brewing inside for while! I ordered the chicken killa-dilla and carne asada burrito for my boys. I got the chicken and beef tacos - keto option (just added extra $1 for each). The lady that took our orders was nice. When we got our orders, the lady said they mistakenly made us two orders of the chicken killa-dilla instead of one but since they had already prepared it, she gave it to us free of charge. Everything was DELISH! Lots of meat and cheese and the addition of purple in our food made it a lot more interesting to eat! What made this experience eating in this gas station more unique is that there's a family feel to it. The cashier is a family guy and today his wife and baby helped in scanning items for customers. Also, as we were eating, another nice guy and his son came over to check on us asking us how we liked our food. He sounded like he's the owner. I see him interact with the workers on the floor and behind the kitchen counter. There's a happy vibe to this place. I can see the workers love being here. I hope they keep it that way!!! I'll need to take my hubby here someday and try the other items on their menu. I highly recommend!!
