    Good food. I ordered through a third party. It took some time to get the food delivered. I think the temperature of the food was satisfying and I liked what I ordered! The spicy green sauce is awesome.

    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.

    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.

As much as it was packed from 2:30 til 3:30 we were still were able to order a drink at bar. Martin was so nice and took our order and brought it to us being we went back to waiting line. The place is small with a hard time to walk around when it's full. It's a nice bar restaurant and didn't realized until we were leaving that there's a back area. The bartenders could be a little more social and happy bc that seem a bit dull and unhappy working there. Unlike Martin he was happy. Mildred was our server and she did phenomenal. The food and drinks were great

(inquire about the 4% service charge added) No rice or beans with any of my parties' dishes, not sure if that is an option. Time to be seated was less than five minutes for a party of four around 2:20 PM on a Sunday; busier times or days enforce their 90 minute time limit policy per table. The food was well seasoned, wish I tasted it a little more on the meat itself, yet all the vegetables tasted crisp and fresh. If you are looking to have intimate conversations be prepared to speak a lot louder, the DJ booth by the front keeps it pretty lively, but difficult to hold conversations across the table. Open authentic Mexican soda is always refreshing, and if you're looking for a place that has soft serve margaritas this is one of them. If you notice and unusual wait time or slow service please make your choice accordingly as I started to notice it was a case by case basis like some of the previous reviews had mentioned.

    We came in on a rainy Friday late afternoon to enjoy happy hour and catch up with friends. Our…read moreserver was very patient with us and didn't rush us. The first drink I ordered was delicious. Their signature old fashioned is made with mezcal and had a nice smoky flavor. The 2nd one was definitely off and the server mentioned something about it being different and that I should taste it. It was overly strong and it didn't have the same taste as the first. I just poured the ice from the first drink into it but I really should have sent it back. Cocktails are $10 during happy hour but otherwise they are $16 and not worth getting in my opinion. The happy hour guacamole trio was okay but there was no distinction between the three types flavor-wise. The ceviche presentation was nice but it also lacked flavor. The tacos were more flavorful but small. They were nicely presented. It is cutely decorated inside but the music made it hard to talk because it was too loud. I probably won't be back when there are better choices in Geneva for the same type of food. I want to give it another half a star but I chose to round down rather than up mainly for lack of flavor, bad 2nd drink and higher than necessary pricing off the main menu.

We started with a few drink specials..Ala Margarita and Altiro Old Fashion. Each drink was 10.00 and very good. For starters we tried the Al Trio Guacamole which all tasted the same. We also had their Al Ceviche which was very good in presentation but not much flavor. I also tried the Al Camaleon tacos which were 4 small tacos of grilled shrimp,bacon,lime,garlic aioli and avocado. Flavorful but small in size for the price. You definitely want to try to go for Happy Hour as their prices are high and portions are small.
