“ Great little Mexican restaurant. Never been disappointed with anything I have gotten there. Really nice and friendly staff. It can get busy and it is small. They do take out so if there is no tables available, you can get your food to go. I usually go a few times a month. Check it out, if you like Mexican food I'm sure you'll love it. ”
“ If you’ve not tried, you have to get the crunch wraps!! This place is incredible!! Closest thing to authentic street tacos I’ve had since Tucson AZ! Their carne asada tacos and chorizo breakfast burritos are fire!! ”
“ Literally my FAVORITE place to eat! The al pastor tacos are amazing!! (I have had them on both flour and corn tortillas, the corn tortilla is my go to), the ACP bowl is another favorite of mine, and they have really good quesabirria tacos as well! I love that they have a fresh salsa and toppings bar that has plenty of options to choose from as well. I recently went and got a steak breakfast bowl and when I tell you I couldn’t finish it all because the portion was HUGE! I mean it. It was well worth it though because it was so good! I recommend this place 10/10 every single time! The staff is so friendly which is also a plus! ”
“ It took me a while to get someone to go with me to try Chapuline's because it's attached to the Exxon gas station but I finally convinced a friend to join me - and it was a very pleasant and delicious surprise. The service was very friendly and they took the time to help us understand their menu. The prices are very reasonable (under 4 per taco) and the variety is wonderful from chicken, steak, seafood and beyond. They offer 5 varieties of Mexican beers (but sorry, no margaritas.) My friend very much enjoyed the vegetarian burrito and it was a size to match Chipotle's. They have a nice salsa bar so you can sample different flavors - or dip your tongue in a spicy salsa sauce and watch your friend's eyes start to cry. It's not much in the way of "atmosphere" being a smaller venue tucked next to the gas station but they do the best they can. Spanish channel on the TV, Spanish music and some light decorations. But the real charm is the good food at fair prices. Definitely will return to try some different tacos and the occasional burrito. ”
“ This place is deceiving because it is at a gas station, but his is very flavorful Mexican food. Their tortas, tacos, quesadillas, burritos and bowls are all flavorful and filling. They have a small salsa bar that is always fresh and has the right amount of heat. Service is always great! ”
“ The food was incredible and super reasonable pricing for the amount of food you get. You order at the counter, pay, and pick up on the other end of the counter. They don’t have a lot of tables/indoor seating available but I highly recommend. The tacos and the birria burrito were AMAZING. ”
“ I got the BLT Shrimp Tacos and Street Corn. Tasted amazing! Their spicy sauces and the onion and habanero had amazing flavors ”
“ Delicious. We got the quesadillas, burrito, bowl and tacos. We ate it before pics. It was bomb ”
