The food looked really ordinary, but it actually tasted way better than I expected. The seasoning was spot on, and both the price and portion size felt fair. The restaurant itself was super clean, and the staff were really friendly

This my favorite taqueria & Mexican restaurant i drove far and the flavor chicken crispy and delicious and all the hot sauces grande flavors great restaurant. Everyone need to eat here asap. Lol thank you taqueria el grande gracias. I also knew I had to order steak burrito to go lol save some for laters.

This restaurant is CLEAN! so immaculate! The food was great- we had carnitas, pollo, and carne asada tacos. The beans and rice were exceptional- I find most underseasoned, but these were SO good! Staff was super kind, ordering was fast and easy. One of the best carne asada tacos I’ve ever had- SO juicy and d flavorful, no tough or dry bits at all! Oh, and the creamy green spicy salsa is reason enough to go back. Yum!

Great late night food when you don't want fast food before 11 pm. The staff was very nice and the food was muy bueno. I would definitely come here again. I pass by it all the time. Now I'm kicking myself for never trying it. The meat is seasoned perfectly. I ordered two steak tacos and a fajita plate. Very delicious.

Oh my goodness my first time trying here and they did not disappoint. That was the best Quesadilla Birria I have ever taste. The food was fresh and place is clean. It was calm despite the location. I would definitely return.

My favorite Tacos in the area. I found this place when I first moved into my new home and I have gone back a handful of times. Authentic and never disappoints. The staff are never usually as excited to see me as I am them, but that's ok. I would go there more if they didn't use styrofoam products.

The service is ALWAYS great! The food is wonderful and reasonably priced! I come here all the time. Sometimes, I order extra rice to go.

We absolutely love this place. Built in an old corner gas station and expertly refurbished as a restaurant, we affectionately refer to it as "The Taco Gas Station." It is the best place in town to fill up!
