Large Horchata 32 oz
Audrey H.

Wonderful Mexican inside the BP gas station. Full line of great tacos, but we went for birria tacos this week. Tasty meat, taco fried to perfection but the consume was the best. Ordered large guacamole, elotes and horchata. All definitely worth while. Make a stop today if you're in the area.

About the hardest thing to believe is that any good food is in gas station, but if you believe that then you haven't been to this small ass cantina. It may be a joke that Mexican food causes gas, but we're not talking about that kind of gas oddly enough. La Nueva Taqueria is located inside a BP station in Plainfield. How good could this possibly be? The answer is: fucking good. Even though it may be far from the best tacos you've ever had, they are the best tacos you've had from a gas station in all certainty. It's barely a restaurant as it has a couple tables near the pop machines. They have no drink menu so customers just get something from the gas station. It specializes in street tacos, the small ones. These are only a couple bites to eat if that. Luckily they're cheap. There's beef, chicken and vegetable. It's $2.39 each. The Vegetable Taco comes with avocados, lettuce, onions, rice, and tomatoes. It's those thin corn tortillas they need to double up on or else the fillings will soak through it. They have good hot sauce but don't put too much on or the tacos will get soggy. Holy shit it's amazing a gas station has food that's any good. It doesn't have any drinks but you can buy beer in the gas station. The tacos are very small and most people don't want to eat in a gas station so they get takeout.

Barria Tacos

These tacos were the best I've had in this area. I moved here a few years ago from Chicago and I've been on the hunt for authentic tacos with a lot of flavor and I've found them!!!

Who would think the gas station serves up great tacos?! But it's true. The eatery inside the BP is great. Food was excellent

Really good for gas station tacos. Their hours seem to be a bit hit or miss though. Try the Birria tacos.

Stopped in for a quick business lunch with a colleague. Turns out they have a daily lunch special…read morethat is perfect. Drinks are included for $16. You have a choice of queso or guac as a starter, both are small. Chips and salsa are also gratis. After that you have a choice of two items from a list of about 8 or 9 items. I had the chicken quesadilla and tostada. Upgrade to add bean and rice for a buck. My colleagues fish taco wasn't worth the extra $2 according to her. I thought everything was fresh and delicious. More lunch than both of us needed, I'd pass on the rice/beans in the future. Service was good. Attentive but everything was her favorite on the menu, not very helpful. Seating in indoors or out. They have TVs for the World Cup and a full bar. Highly recommend for lunch and we will be back.

The short rib enchiladas were really good, and the queso was great too. It had almost a…read morefondue-style feel, which I liked. Service could definitely use some work. My server was pretty slow and seemed distracted, sometimes gone for 20 minutes at a time. I basically had to lock eyes with him just to get his attention. He was a younger guy, so hopefully he tightens that up. Also, if someone notes in their reservation that they're bringing a baby and a car seat, it would make more sense to seat them at a booth instead of in the middle of the restaurant, especially when booths are open. Overall, I'd say it was about a 7/10 experience.
