This place is tucked away on the inside of a gas station, the menu is written on a white dry erase board, and no indication of the flavors popping out of the front door. The ladies running this gem are friendly, fast, and serving up great tacos, burritos, tortas, and more. They ask you what you want on your order and if you want hot or mild salsa. A few minutes later, youre outside at a gas station, at a place that you thought was nameless, wondering how is this so good for this price. The place isn't fancy, no place to sit except on a 3' brick wall outside in the parking, drivers honking, people walking by,etc. Its a cool little experience that reminds me of after high school football games. I hope not too many people find this spot read more

My husband and I ate here today Monday, February 16, 2026. The gas station is currently being remodeled, but the restaurant is still open. The food was delicious. We each had a steak taco and the chicken taco. The meat on both tacos were seasoned well and had a lot of flavor. The tacos are street sized tacos, which are very small. We paid $10 for four tacos. Service was friendly and quick. This little hole in the wall is a hidden gem. I wish they were open on the weekend. read more

$10 burrito. Let me say that again....$10 BURRITO. I never thought I'd see those prices again in the year 2025 but to my surprise, it was found in a gas station. There are no frills--it's just a counter you walk up to. The employees were friendly and the food came out quick. I ordered a carne asada super burrito. Hefty burrito and the ingredients reminded me of home style rice and beans. That said, don't expect a misison-style super burrito with avocado, cheese, pico and all that jazz...this is those simple ones that just add a lil bit of our cream and mayyyyybe cheese. Nothing particularly fancy about this super burrito. But hey, that's okay. It's $10 burrito. 5/5 overall, 4/5 based on flavor and lack of "super"ness. Out of all the Mexican food spots on W Texas, I'd choose this one again. read more

Best Tacos I have had in the US so far. They come with extra beans and oignons, trompo and Barbacoa were divine

Their food is amazing! Have been going here for years. The quesadillas and tacos are my favorite. I've recommended this place to numerous people and they all come back raving about their food. Sadly, the foo has doubled in price, but still comparable to most Mexicans places near by. read more

El Veral is a quick stop for budget friendly Mexican food. I thought the taco and burrito were decent, and cost only $11. After ordering I got my food in less than five minutes. There's no seating so it's strictly a to-go spot. Located inside a Chevron, El Veral gets a steady stream of customers. Quick, decent food, and budget friendly Mexican food. read more

The pastor taco were good the first time coming here and they tasted hella good with flavor then the next time I went it was meh then went back and it was the same weird since the pastor looked more red from the marinade the first time, but the prices are better than other places. read more

I had a chicken burrito but there was nothing that stood out about it. Basic ingredients. Maybe I got the wrong item. I'm definitely open to going back and trying a new choice. read more

4.5 Stars Ok where do I start?! We had carne asada and chicken tacos. They were $1 each! These are really small street tacos folks...about the size of a small round donut. But worth that dollar for sure. The steak was tender, fresh, and really tasty. There was a tiny bit of salsa on the tacos so next time I'll ask for extra. Hubby liked the chicken but preferred the steak. The beans and rice had so much flavor! I love them with tortilla chips but you have to have your own since they don't provide any. Dinner (and leftovers) for 2 was $17.35! The lady taking orders was sweet and professional. The location is inside the Chevron gas station on the corner of W. Texas & Pennsylvania. There is no outward signage to indicate such but just park and go inside. You will see the large menu blackboard straight ahead once you enter the Chevron mini mart. Yes there are 1 or 2 homeless (looking) individuals outside but they won't bite. Enjoy! We'll be back for sure. read more

Alright gas station street tacos! These little dudes pack a punch of tender, flavorful meat, pastor and carne asada. We also tried a chicken supper burrito, pretty tasty. Our first takeout experience. Friendly staff and food was prepared quickly. Take note this is a gas station so parking spaces are limited. Definitely worth topping off the gas tank if no parking is available. We will be back. read more

Taqueria El Varal - Al pastor and carne asada street tacos with everything. Stack em up if you're hungry. Two bites and she gone. - Tacos Near Me - Fairfield, California

I know, I know, it's hard to find a $1.00 taco in the Bay Area. But, it's all about the flavors, stupid. Now, don't get me wrong, I wanted to like this place. But alas the tacos here are not authentic. It's gringofied. For a dollar you get a taco with sparse portions of meat atop two store-bought tortillas that is then topped off with a Mexican cheese mix, sour cream, onions, cilantro, and salsa. I ended up ordering five tacos, three carne asada and two pastor. Honestly, I couldn't tell one from the other because the tacos were kind of flavorless. All I tasted was the Mexican cheese mix... I really wanted to taste some meaty grizzle and lard. Also, I was still hungry afterwards. Usually, after five tacos I feel stuffed like a burrito, or should I say burro gordo? I contemplated how the place had a five-star rating and realized that it either had to be the price or that a lot of the reviews were influenced by the lovely ladies that work here, especially the mujer hermosa with the right arm tattoos. At the end of the day, I care about the flavor more than the value. Anyone that follows me knows that this chino eats tacos almost every week. So, if this is allegedly the best taco joint in Fairfield as one reviewer commented, I won't be eating tacos in Fairfield. Three stars since the price was right and the tacos were neither good nor bad. * The taqueria is located inside the Chevron gas station, which used to be a Kwik Serv and before that a Spirit Gas Station. * Taqueria El Veral is the taco joint with many names. They appear to call themselves Fairfield Taqueria and/or Spirit Tacos. Their IG handle is ridiculously long.... "fairfield_taqueria_Spirittacos". read more

Food was good portion. Service was awesome. Food came out really fast. Went during lunch hour and still had time to sit and chat.

Pretty much my go to place for the steak quesdilla tacos. A fairfield local gem. The ladies working are always nice.

My go-to place for some bomb street tacos. The epitome of cheap eats for sure. For $1 you get a taco with meat of your choice, or add $.50 more and get it loaded with sour cream and cheese (which is what I always do). You can't just order one, you need at least a minimum of 5. They're small but mighty. The meat is flavorful and they're damn delicious. I usually stick with the carne asada, add the sour cream and cheese and ask for no onions; drizzle some lime on top and boom. Tasty af. Yes, it's located inside a gas station and parking can be a bit challenging if you're not pumping gas. But they're worth it. Aside from their bomb tacos, you can also get quesadillas, burritos, nachos and drinks. Good customer service and quick with the orders. There's also a small seating area inside as well. Check them out. Definitely recommend! read more

I should've read the reviews first before I got out of the car. This restaurant IS in the gas station! Don't be like me walking around searching for it bc you will never find it until you give up and walk into the gas station. On to the food!! I ordered 1 chicken 1 steak and 1 pork regular tacos. It came with onions, cilantro, and sauce. Since I can't take heat I ordered my sauce mild. They all were really good but I must say the steak tasted the best out of them all. read more

Taqueria El Varal - Steak, pork, chicken in that order. First I didn't know the chicken was chicken bc its the same color as the pork - Tacos Near Me - Fairfield, California

I love the fact that this tiny Mexican kitchen is located inside the Chevron gas station. They are locally famous for their yummy little $1.50 tacos but they have a lot more to offer such as burritos and nachos. I brought home a few carne asada and a couple chicken tacos. They were both good but I think I liked the chicken better. The guy taking orders was super nice and the food came out really quick. They are "to go" only and I think the name is different, on Instagram they are called Fairfield taqueria or spirit tacos. read more

Taqueria El Varal - Carne asada and chicken tacos topped with cheese , sour cream, cilantro, and onions. - Tacos Near Me - Fairfield, California

Hands down the best tacos in town. Everything on the menu is delicious fresh and well prepared.

This place is one of the best spots in all of California! Great prices, great food, great service. They get your food out quick too. 10/10

C'mon $1.00 tacos... can't beat that! And that includes everything like sour cream, cheese, cilantro, onions and either hot or mild sauce put on the top or you can request to have it on the side. In other taco places sour cream and cheese are add ons. I always get the carne asada but might just have to try the other ones next time. Their burrito and torta are $5.00. Service is pretty quick. I ordered 30 tacos last time and I was in there for maybe less than 10 mins. and there were quite a few people already that have ordered before me and the wait time was still quick and this was on a weekend. This place doesn't have an obvious signage outside. It is located inside of a convenience store which they both share. Convenience store on one side the Mexican mini place on the other side and they have a few seats if you want to dine in and these two establishments are located on a gas station. I never would've known about this hidden gem if it wasn't for someone that posted a pic on IG. So if you are ever in the FF, Suisun City, Cordelia area this would be a quick drive. But, still worth the drive even if you are not from the surrounding area or just passing through. read more

We were craving tacos and I remember people telling me about the tacos sold in Chevron. We came in and omg they are fire!!!

My favorite taco spot! Wanted to give my first review to them! Everything is always so delicious.

Easily one of the top 3 spots for tacos and burritos in Solano County. Located inside a gas station but don't let that fool you. The customer service is top notch and the food is quickly prepared. Had the cabeza super burrito ($8.25) and wow!! It is packed with meat and the homemade sauce that comes with it is ridiculously good. Do not skip on this place for to go mexican craving. read more

Food is great. however this place nickel and dime for everything. They don't offer togo salsa. How cheap can y'all be. Years ago this was a decent spot with great service. Not coming back read more

Yes yes and yes to all the rave reviews. I had a carne asada taco, an al pastor Taco, a side of beans, and a horchata. Prices reasonable and considering that these were some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life, they were really cheap. You can choose what toppings you want on your taco, But I just got the normal cilantro and onion and lime wedge. It comes with sauce and she asked if I wanted mild or hot and of course I said hot. The whole combo was absolutely delicious especially with the hot sauce. The hot sauce was super tasty. The beans were also super tasty with that authentic taste. Horchata was also decent. read more

Food is delicious and I've never had any better customer service ever. The older man at the cash register went above and beyond and even held the door open for my girlfriend and I. If you're feeling mexican food, do yourself a favor and come here! read more

I would give this place six stars if I could! If you've ever heard of the famous gas station tacos this is it! The prices are on point, the food is always fresh and cooked just right, and they are fast and friendly. I couldn't ask for much more in Mexican restaurant. The carne asada tacos are a $1 a piece and are true to the street taco style. Don't be scared to try this place out because it's inside a gas station! read more

On West Texas street you may have noticed a Kwik Service providing gas and other miscellaneous goods. Take a moment to put that car in park and set foot inside. The parking may be limited, but it won't take long for you to get what you came for. There is a counter with a few seats for one to sit. Take a look behind the counter to see if there are any available before making your order "For here." Many times I have delighted myself in their tacos within the comfort of my car. Taco ($1)- I ordered five asada (steak) corn tortilla tacos with "Everything". Everything includes; white onions, sour cream, cilantro, cheese, hot sauce. Simple ingredients meant to satisfy one's hunger instantly. The fall apart asada was flavorful with moments of crispiness. Partake in their refreshing horchata and you are set! Keep in mind these tacos are miniature in size. Five was enough to keep me content. I would suggest 5-8 tacos to make it a meal. Anything less and I can assure you that you'll be walking through that door and order again. I am guilty of this! More food for thought. They have more menu options, but the highlight of the show is their tacos. In addition they have burritos, tortas and more. They also offer different meats like pork and chicken. To save yourself from disappointment their official hours of operation are Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 8 pm. There is also an extra 50 cents charge if you choose debit or credit as your form of payment. Taqueria El Veral's welcoming customer service, budget friendly prices, and appetizing tacos makes this place a crowd pleaser for all! read more

For $1 tacos, it's FANTASTIC! Who knew tacos from a gas station would taste SO good? We also received excellent service from the male worker. Carne asada and al pastor is $1 for regular style (meat, onion, cilantro, sauce) and a bit more for everything style, which comes with the addition of sour cream and cheese. I prefer the more authentic version so I wouldn't get the everything next time but it was still worth a try. Lengua is a bit more at $1.50 but completely worth it. They have more variety of meat, but I'm just noting the ones I ordered. We also ordered plain nachos. He did warn that he didn't use real cheese and used nacho cheese but that's what I wanted! Ironically, it's hard to find places that use nacho cheese. I got 8 tacos and 1 plain nachos for $13!! What a steal. As much as I like this place, I wouldn't dare come alone. I saw so many sketchy people standing outside the gas station. At one point, one guy came shouting into the shop but thankfully the gas station owner quickly shooed him out. Other than that, I'd come whenever I crave tacos! You really can't beat $1 tacos! read more

I love love this place. When I first found it on Yelp, I was skeptical. What do you mean that the best tacos in Fairfield are in a Chevron Gas station? It's true. You will see this place as soon as you walk in. It is a small mom and pop place. Sometimes the little girl helps out after school. They are accommodating to food allergies. If you love street tacos...this is the place! Everything on their menu (burritos, tortas, nachos, tacos etc) is great! read more

I regretted not taking a picture but it was delicious. I had to get extra for friend. Wished they put hot sauce but I'm satisfied!
