    Bland pastor tacos
    Nisha R.

    I was not impressed with this location. The meat wasn't seasoned. They were stingy with the onion and cilantro. I love tacos and it hurts me to write this bad review. I could make better tacos. The pastor was lacking flavor. I will not be returning. I was very disappointed.

    Went here cause I wanted something authentic and quick. Went with a friend on a Friday night around 9:15pm. Gas station - so tacos were good, not really a great place to sit down and eat. Definitely one of those grab & go. I ordered the barbacoa & the chicken on corn tortillas. Yummy! It's amongst one of my tops. I would go back to grab some more only cause it's the closest one to me. Some of the best eats are a hole in a wall It only gets 4 stars because it's not a restaurant, making it hard to sit & eat in there. Very small space inside the gas station

    Say bruh....this review is about to have NO CHILL. I love a good "street taco" and these bad boys were THE BEST F*CKING STREET TACOS IVE HAD IN YEARS!!! They were prepared with love and affection-- just the way I like them! They had lots of grease and lots of meat, bc I mean nobody likes a dry ass taco. So if you don't like grease then this ain't for you. And to top it off, they included a half grilled jalapeño--WHERE DEY DO DAT AT??!? Here, apparently. This place is located at a gas station on the corner of Park Ln and Greenville Ave-- hopefully that won't stop you from trying this place out. #getchusome p.s I came here on 10/3/18 and had to write this review immediately after I smacked the plate clean

    Pretty tasty gas station tacos. Not as good as Fuel City, but definitely a good option if you are craving tacos and are further north. I tried the lengua, barbacoa, and pastor tacos on corn torillas. The lengua was tender and not gamey at all, possibly my favorite out of the three. The pastor was intensely spiced; more so than those at FC and slightly strong for my taste. The barbacoa was juicy and tender but less flavorful than FC's. The salsa verde had a nice medium heat level and was thicker than I'm used to. They also have quesadillas, tortas, and a barbacoa plate. Tacos are $1.15 on corn, more for flour. They also have chicken tacos if you're not into red meat. CASH ONLY! There are four stools at the counter if you are eating in house.

    Muchas gracias La Paisanita for making tasty tacos at $1.25 each. I had barbacoa tacos, that came with onions, cilantro, and lime. The barbacoa was not the best I've ever had, but it was good. The wow factor was in the salsa. The red is hot. As in, I got the hiccups, hot. The green sauce also has some kick to it, but is the milder of the two. La Paisanita is inside a gas station on the NE corner of Park and Greenville. As it's inside a gas station, there are a few stools and a table, but it's more of a take-out kind of place. I am pretty sure it's cash only. The two ladies working behind the taco counter were really friendly, but I would stay away from purchasing anything from the actual gas station. While I was waiting, two neighborhood kids got into a verbal disagreement with the gas station owner because the items in the store did not have prices on them. I can verify that indeed: nothing had a price on it. The kids were in the right - they were just trying to buy a snickers and wanted to know the price. The employee/owner wouldn't tell them the price either, he just said he'd ring them up. That seems really shady. Items should be priced. Additionally, only assholes rip-off kids. This taco place/gas station is adjacent to a rough neighborhood. While I was there, just after dusk, a man tried to squeegee my car windshield for cash. I also hear gunshots frequently from this area. Just don't carry in more than $20 or wear a flashy diamond ring. The tacos are worth braving squeegee bums. Just be sure to wear your man pants if you go after dark.

    The menu!!

    Probably some of the best tacos I've ever had. Inexpensive and amazing. Tacos are 1.50!!! The place is in a gas station, so seating is limited, but definitely worth grabbing on the go!
