Honestly, this was the absolute worst California burrito I've ever ordered. We're traveling back to San Diego at a nearby hotel and it was so bad I gave it to the dog (she loved it!). I eat a cali burrito at least once per week but this "blend" of potatoes, onions, carne mush had a weird vinegar taste. The workers were incredibly friendly (+++) and the free chips and salsa bar was really nice (++), and I hate to give bad reviews but I wish I went to the Wendy's next door (yuck!) instead. Maybe others have a better experience with other food. read more

Chicken burrito is pretty good. Good customer service for a food truck. I am going back to try their breakfast burrito so I will be back with another review soon. read more

Picked up a burrito and street tacos! The burrito was stuffed with carnitas no beans and had a solid weight to it and tasted even better! The street tacos were just ok. Pretty basic an average. The service was friendly and professional. If I'm in the area and in a hurry this is usually the pick up and go spot. read more

Came here to support a Latino business, ordered a super burrito de asada that ran me about 18 bucks which is pretty crazy but didn't mind it until I opened my burrito and ate it. It was basically a sack of refried beans and sour cream with barely any meat in it lol. I paid 18$ for beans and sour cream and scraps of whatever tiny pieces of meat were in there. Don't even know if it was carne asada. Nothing more irritating than asking for something to go only to feel like they did you wrong knowing you wouldn't be in their face to confront them about it. Cause man, I even tipped a bit when paying. What a slap to a fellow Latinos face, lesson learned and I'll make sure to steer people away! Thanks for robbing me of almost 20$ for a sack of beans and sours cream ! read more

Was happy to find a taqueria opened at 10pm at night in Elk Grove and a drive thru! We ordered a ground beef super burrito. It was delicious but if I had to compare it other super burritos from other restaurants, it was not "super" but looked like a regular size burrito. And pictured was our #4 taquitos combo. Sadly, it had no taste even with the salsa. read more

I loved the veggie taco and the salsa bar. Got my family the taco Tuesday tacos for $1.50 each and they loved them!

Can't beat $1 tacos for taco Tuesday. The tacos were okay, nothing to rave about , not that much meat and the tortillas definitely weren't fresh, but hey you get what you pay for. I like they do have a drive through. Service was pretty standard, the lady was decent. That's why I give this place a solid 3. Let's note that I have only been here once and I haven't been back so it's not somewhere to go out of your way to, but if your in the area and want something cheap check it out. read more

The young lady, that's always at the window on taco Tuesday is just the sweetest and kindest young woman. Kudos to taco express for having picked such a wonderful person to be the one that greets you and processes your order at the drive-through window. read more

The hours online are incorrect sadly i have come twice around 11 and they are closed which is disappointing :( But as far as the food, when i come during the day the food is fresh and filling! I just wish the hours they actually worked were updated online so I don't waste my time/gas pulling up to a closed location. read more

I actually love that this place is open till midnight. With that being said, I feel like the portions here are a bit on the smaller side. I feel like I paid too much for the amount of food I got. I ordered from door dash & I didn't see an option to order salsa. So sadly I ate my burrito without any salsa to accompany it. The burrito was skinnier than other California burritos I've had. It was a little salty, but maybe the salsa would have helped neutralize that. I thought the rice was good tho. If I try this place again, it would probably have to be in person. read more

I've been here about 4 times in the last two months. The first time, I was lucky enough to get the $1 taco Tuesday special. The deal was a good bargain. I tried the chicken and beef ones they had. The filling could have been more, but it's what you would expect for a $1. They're way better than anything you would get at Taco Bell or even the Jack in the box tacos. On my second visit I got the crunchy tacos paying full price, and I did notice the meat filling was substantially bigger. I got ground beef and shredded beef that time. The nachos al pastor were probably my favorite of the things I got that day. I tried the carne asada street tacos, but they were just OK. My family loved their carnitas. Their shredded chicken was good. I also highly recommend their super burrito carnitas. On a weekend I was also able to try their breakfast burritos. Price was maybe a $1 or $2 higher than what I would want to make it a regular spot for me. But the chorizo breakfast burrito is 5/5 stars. The bacon breakfast burrito is ranked lower for me. So at the end of the day, I'll be back for more pastor and carnitas, and possibly chorizo breakfast burritos. I got some coupons in the mail, so that helps in bringing down some of the costs. I also like that they have daily specials. There's so much more food I want to try. Oh their green salsa is great with the perfect amount of heat for me. I've only ever gone through their drive through. I've yet to go inside. As a drive through option I think it's great. All 4 times I went at different times, the lines were not bad, and service was fasts . I think some of the food pricing seems comparable to other Mexican restaurants in the area. You pay a little more on some items since you have the convenience of going through the drive through. But as mentioned before, the mail coupons and the daily special help to balance the order for a family of four. read more

I am obsessed with this place, what is happening because I literally crave food from here at least once a week, I have tried so many things on the menu and everything has been great, from the Carne Asada fries to the crispy tacos and enchiladas. They do not disappoint they have a drive-through which I absolutely love. I don't mind waiting a little bit longer for the food to be prepared. As long as I don't have to go in, the quality ingredients and the amount you get for what you pay for are top tier also the employees are very friendly! Love love love this hidden gem ! read more

I've been coming for the Tuesday $1 Crunchy Taco special for past few weeks. For the price, it's hard to pass up. Our family enjoys the chicken tacos more than the ground beef or shredded beef tacos. Salsa bar is good. Staff is always friendly. They offer paper bags for chips to go. It's busy on Tuesdays, but the team works quickly. read more

Went to Taco Express this morning at 7:03. The person said they won't open until 7:30, and I let her know that it says that they open at 7. Then she asked me what I wanted to order, and give them 10 minutes before ordering. So I left I was going to be late for work read more

We were craving birria ramen, but all the places we originally considered closed by 7-8 pm on a Thursday night. Then we saw Taco Express was open until midnight, sold. Initially pulling up, it was surprising to see that they were connected to the gas station, but it was still a full service restaurant with plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors. When first walking in, there was an odor that was a little off-putting, but it was likely just from the food and a scent we weren't used to. However, the restaurant was clean, and we were greeted and able to order right away. We had four orders of their birria ramen. At first, I thought it was a bit overpriced at $14.99 each, as the picture on their menu showed a ramen cup of noodles, which we thought would be small and not filling. Boy, were we wrong. They have an amazing complimentary salsa bar with unlimited chips, salsa, pico de gallo, and cucumbers with tajin (it was my first time having it in a really long time), so delicious and refreshing. Now I'm hooked and just bought a bottle of tajin to sprinkle on my fruit and veggies at home! When our birria ramen came out, it was served in big bowls, similar to those used for pho. Self serve plastic utensils are on the counter. By the look of the broth, the kids were afraid it was going to be spicy, but it wasn't spicy at all! We added onions, cilantro, and lime. The dish was very flavorful and meaty. We were all so full we forgot we were supposed to grab dessert on the way home. If you're in the mood for a quick and tasty Mexican meal, I would definitely come here again. Next time I would try another dish as those look just as good! 4 stars because they charge $0.50 per water cup, yet have an unlimited salsa bar. If patrons are dining in, water cups should be complimentary. We opted to grab our waters from the car. read more

Tried Taco Exxpress for the very first time and my family are I are extremely disappointed. The pictures on the windows looked delicious. So we finally gave in (bad idea). Crunchy tacos - were very, very light meat inside. Was filled with lettuce, onions and expired Onions (gross) and not only that the lady didn't ask if we wanted everything of if we wanted onions or no onions. Meat had NO flavor whatsoever. The expired onion flavor was GROSS AF!!! Birria Ramen - noodles were over cooked and NO FLAVOR VERY BLAND! Birria was OVER cooked as well which left the whole dish very DISGUSTING! And I don't even want to get started on the rice and beans... 4 DISAPPOINTED NEW CUSTOMERS 5 thumbs ALLLL THE WAY DOWN read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. 1st. Breakfast burritos are large, the bacon is crispy (PERFECT),it's cheesy and eggs and just hits the spot. Today I tried the Cowboys fries and they are YUM.

My new taco Tuesday place. The staff is nice and the food is great. I've also tried their carne asada fries. I liked it very much. I think if the flavor was turned up just a bit, or had some special sauce, I'd give a five star. Otherwise, a solid place for Mexican food. I hope to try a burrito next time. read more

We had gotten takeout simply because it was close by, and didn't have high expectations. However my family and I were very surprised and impressed. When we got home and were eating at the table, all of us immediately started talking about how good the food was, which rarely happens. From our experience, it's a step above other fast food taco bars we've been to. The quality of the ingredients and the preparation are better than most. I got the carnitas plate, my wife got the quesabirrias tacos, and my son the super nachos. The carnitas plate was incredible. The meat was flavorful and moist rather than dry and chewy, a problem I always encounter elsewhere. And, the first time my son tried the nachos he commented on how good it was and encouraged us to try. Then my wife, who usually doesn't like nachos, ended up eating nearly his entire plate. We (seriously) had to go back to the restaurant and get a second order of nachos for my son. We're now hooked on this place. read more

Food was not good at all. Just make the drive somewhere else. Not even sure why I decided to try it out.

Not sure where the previous lower reviews are coming from but 10/10 deliciousness, service was fast, and also fresh ingredients and great self serve salsa bar with chips. This place took over the old Taco Bell connected to the convenience store and it's a definite upgrade! I got the quesabirria and my sister got the wet burrito. Both were picture worthy but we were too hungry to take any photos. The birria ramen looks really interesting so will try it next time! read more

I stopped in for the first time on a Friday around 5:30 pm because it's close to my house. I ordered the Mexican burrito and a Quesabirria combo plate. They have a salsa and chip bar. They gave me a paper bag to fill with chips for my to go order. They only had one cook and one gal taking orders, but I still got my food pretty fast. The burrito was huge and filled with carne asada, rice, beans, cilantro and onion and spicy salsa. My husband and I spit it and we got full. My kid got the Quesabirria tacos combo with rice and beans and it was all delicious. It included the consommé for dipping. There was a weird odor as someone mentioned before but I smelled it when I entered the gas station mini mart since that is the entrance. The restaurant looked really clean. I will go back. read more

This place has bomb ass food, SoCal Styly Enough about that though, hear this and hear this clearly. This place has a true Taco Tuesday special: get it quick before they stop doing it, it's a true crispy taco, chicken or shredded beef for only $1. You heard me. $1. And this economy, this is a lovely ray of light from the taco gods. Bidenomics sucks, but these guys rule!! read more

A gas station taco stop can be an adventure. Last night Taco Express was a pleasant one. Located inside and adjacent to the gas station. Easy, quick menu and taco Tuesday specials.

I just found out Taco Xpress opened in the old Taco Bell location situated in the same building with the Chevron gas station so the kid said...."Let's Go!" As of April 06, 2024, it's a soft opening and I noticed no one has given a Yelp review so I'm able to be the first person to review it. Wahoooo! The nice lady behind the counter said their official opening will be on Monday April 08th. The hijo and I ordered the birria taco combo with consume and it was very good for a fast food setting. Mi esposa got a ground beef burrito and she gave it a thumbs up. Overall a great experience with little traffic because it just opened but I'm hoping it'll thrive in this Bidenomic / NewScumnomic era. Try it...You'll like it! read more

Ordering thru DoorDash, I received two fried tacos and rice and beans. I ordered a side of chips and their guacamole. ( the guacamole isn't guacamole, it that liquified sauce that's green but it sure isn't guacamole. The tacos were filling and the rice and beans were plenty. Oily mess. Maybe I ordered the wrong item. Just soaked in oil... Would I use them again? Nothing special. read more
