    Shop inside Chevron
    Ryan H.

    Friendly staff and convenient location, especially if you're grabbing some gas. The reason for a 4 and not a 5 was the lack of flavor in my order. I ordered the carne asada fries extra meat, but sadly it was lacking flavor. On the upside their tortilla chips and salsa verde are . Their salsa verde had the perfect kick of heat i needed to brighten up my day. Ill probably come back and try something else when in the area, maybe go for their habanero salsa next time as well

    Carnitas Burrito Bowl $6.99
    Tre S.

    Good Mexican food from a Gas Station? I know it all sounds pretty gnarly but I'm saying it, the food from here is pretty bomb and I have zero complaints. Just imagine you go to fill up and you stomach starts to talk back to you because it's just as empty as your vehicle and you get the aroma of "Carne Asada" or "Carnitas" being cooked on the grill and you just can't take it any longer, you have to beat hunger. Well "Yelpire" this place is just the place you need in times like that, or anytime if I'm just saying. So as to save some of the praise for my review, I have to say I'm crazy or.."Loco" for the food they serve up here, let me tell you why.. "El Burrito Loco" Location - Richmond, Ca (Inside of The Hilltop Rd Chevron Gas Station) Food - Burrito Bowl Price - $7.64 (with taxes) El Burrito Loco: I'm in love with "El Burrito Loco" I can get a "Burrito Bowl" on the Low, Low!! Yes, I love the food here and I have to say that whole heartedly. I never thought great food and gas stations went well together aside from "Krispy Krunchy"....that's another review..for now I am utterly impressed this place is "Too Legit" and the food they're serving is all that. Located inside the Hilltop Rd Chevron Gas Station right across the street from the now kinda defunt "Hilltop Mall". This establishment pretty much is a standout in it's own right. With an menu that isn't as intensive as you would see in most stand alone taquerias, the menu is simple, clean and most of what they serve is pretty delicious. This place was a perfect place for lunch especially for me when I worked in the area, and some of various of the nearby businesses. So without going too much further, let me tell you about what I got.. Carnitas Burrito Bowl $6.99 - I decided this day to go with an Carnitas Burrito Bowl, in lew of ditching the flour wrapper of the basic burrito, I wanted to bypass some of the carbs this day. Just like that place named after a "Smoked Dried Pepper" in this bowl you get your Rice, Beans, Onions, Cilantro, Salsa ect. Let me tell you this place does "Carnitas" justice 100%. It's so flavorful and totally compliments every other condiment it's mixed with. It's the star of the show in this burrito bowl for me and as it should be it shined bright. For the price the bowl is a little small, but it's just enought to get you through a work shift and set you up for dinner as this establishment closes at 5 pm. Overall: Even though in a gas station, this place is 100% taqueria and I can't honestly rave enough about it. The food is good, the service is good, it's all good in the hood. Aside from the 5 pm closing time which I think is the only downside about this place, I try and go every chance I get now as I do not work in the area, but when I did, I was there at least 2 times a week to give you an estimate of how much I liked eating here. So yea, I do recommend you try this place out if you happen to be in the area.

    Smh unbelieveable. Never again

    I bought a burrito and a piece of something was In my food. Wet shredded chicken burrito with a piece of aluminum in it or grill teeth.. This shit was cooked inside my food In my burrito! I almost swallowed this!

    Three enchiladas with rice beans for 7.99
    Lorissa W.

    I love their enchilada plate. You can put any meat into it like lengue, pastor, carnitas, steak, etc. Their mini tacos are not mini and better deal than their large tacos Tastier than any restaurant or food truck but cheaper. Friendly nice staff. What else can you ask for?

    Pork tacos, sooo good!
    Linda C.

    Who knew a gas station would have the best burritos and tacos? I got the 3 pork tacos for $4.99, my husband got a shredded beef burrito for $6.99. Sooo good! Only 4 stools and a counter to sit at, but I think most people get food to go. The next time we go to Richmond, we'll make a detour to get a great lunch there!

    Steak Sandwich, really good make sure you get a Fork and Knife the bread gets soggy from the bottom, makes it hard to grab.
    Joe L.

    First time here, they got my order wrong I ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla but they gave me steak. The quesadilla was really good a little to oily but very delicious they have my business. I'm new to the area and not many good Mexican taquerias around here, I'm definitely going to be a regular from now on. I recommend..

    Excellent Mexican Food in a pleasant cozy venue. Friendly service, but you have to hunt them down…read moreto refill our water glasses. IN THE CHIPS: Kicking things off, the Chips and Salsa are now $3.85 for an order, but they were worth the money - light and airy, and the salsa just barely had a hint of heat to it. Just perfect. (5/5) THE BEANS.. Perusing the menu, whatever plate you order, you can specify the kind of beans you want (black beans, pinto beans, refried beans). I chose the black beans, but specified "no cheese" on them in a semi-futile attempt to stay on the healthy side. =) SEAFOOD TACOS I decided on the Seafood Taco Platter, where you get one shrimp taco and a fish taco along with a big side of beans and lots of rice. Each taco comes with a double layer of corn tortillas with grilled shrimp, or fish topped by shredded cabbage drizzled with a lime aioli. Instead of deep fried, the shrimp and fish on each taco were grilled to perfection, instead of deep fried. The fish filet was diced and stir-fried with a wonderful aroma. Instead of making a mess, I decided just to eat my taco by slicing and dicing it from the plate. Super good! (5/5) One of my dining partners had the mole here a year ago and loved it, so now that he was back in town, he made this place a prime objective for his visit again to the Bay! Yeah.. I'd tend to agree.. Worth coming back.

(That's generally a good thing unless you're looking for full service.) if you're eating there and manage to find a table, be prepared to wipe it down yourself, because the staff is super busy taking and preparing orders. The staff was polite and helpful, the cashier providing guidance on menu options to us 1st timers. We ordered and paid for 2 "chicken fajita-type" plates. The orders come with salsa and a tiny bag of store-bought tortilla chips. (The cashier told me they would bring the food to our table, because we never would have heard them calling order #s from where we were seated.) This place seems well frequented by locals (it was lunchtime on a weekday). So, we waited a while for our order, so long that we decided we wanted to take it to go instead. However, when I went up to ask them to pack our food to go instead, one of our orders was in the pick up window. Turns out, they had been calling our order # AND they only made 1 plate, not the 2 we ordered and paid for. The helper was apologetic and quickly refunded the $ for the 2nd plate that never came. I packed the 1 order to go, and off we went. Although we won't go here again, fortunately for us, the food was decent, and the 1 order was enough for 2 people.

The meats on the tacos were tender and well seasoned. My favorite were the carnitas for their slight crisp. The salsas are spicy but have good flavor. I also love that they come with pickled veggies and radishes! Tamales have a good masa to filling ratio and aren't dry. I was surprised when I ordered the rajas con queso (green pepper with cheese) tamal and it had some red sauce inside. The chilaquiles were a solid breakfast choice too. I wish there was more service/interaction with the client. You pick up your food at the food counter and after you're done you buss your own plates. Parking is limited in their parking lot but there's plenty of street parking around the corner.
