It’s a lil whole in the wall spot inside Chevron but it is definitely well worth it their tacos and burritos are very good. You can’t dine in but I can imagine that’ll change when they open a restaurant.

Have been by a few times and gotten a couple things in their menu. Burritos, tamales, tacos, rolled tacos and everything has always been on point. The service is friendly and quick. Located inside the chevron makes it easy to grab a cold drink and some good food in one go!

Don’t let the location sway you! It’s inside the Chevron gas station. Tried the Birria taco, steak quesadilla and chicken taquitos. All were so good! Their habanero sauce was pretty bomb too. If you love rolled tacos, definitely try this place out!

When I tell you I have never in my life had a burrito that stayed on my mind as this food joint. Yareli’s taco shop has the best burritos I have ever had in my entire life. The drinks are made naturally on the spot from real fruit, and the service is beyond superb. The people who work here are so kind and really take the time to make your food with so much love. Try it out, I promise you won’t regret it.

I didn't immediately realize that they were located inside the Chevron. The California burrito was excellent, I'll be coming back to try other things in the menu.
