I stumbled upon this place while at the gas station and was pleasantly surprised! It's definitely a hidden gem, as it's tucked away inside the gas station building with no obvious signage. But don't let that deter you! I ordered the burrito bowl, and it was fantastic. The portion size was very generous, and the flavors were spot-on. It had that authentic Mexican taste I was looking for, and the spice level was perfect, not too hot, just right. If you're looking for a quick, delicious, and surprisingly good meal, this place is worth finding!

We tried the shrimp tacos, shrimp burrito, and taquitos — everything was super fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The owner runs the place himself, and you can tell he puts his heart into the food and service. It’s a small business absolutely worth supporting. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Inside the gas station, really easy to miss. Amazing customer service, very nice owner and really good food. The owner gave us a lot of samples to try since we were new and trying it for the first time. Looking for a quick bite to eat at a good price and good portions, this is the place for you.

Food so good. I want to go back again tomorrow but they are closed on the weekends. I am going to patiently wait for Monday. In the meantime I will dream of the their super delicious food. The quesadilla here is amazing. I have tried all the mexican chain and sombrero express is by far the best.

I came here for lunch and I wasn’t expecting this place to be so good. It’s located inside a gas station but the food isn’t gas station food at all. The couple running the store were really nice and they loaded my tacos up. They also let me sample some nachos that were also really good so I ended up getting their nachos as well. Definitely wasn’t expecting this place to be such a hit. Definitely coming back for my next taco Tuesday!
