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.
Ordered these off doordash a couple years ago having no clue it was in a gas station otherwise I wouldve never tried it and it is still my family's favorite Mexican spot to this day. 10/10 recommend seriously.
Who would think the gas station serves up great tacos?! But it's true. The eatery inside the BP is great. Food was excellent
Great food , quick in and out This is the goto for tacos They've been there for a while and almost never disappoint
Authentic Mexican delight with amazing tacos and vibrant flavors. A must-visit for any food lover!
Very good authentic Mexican food. We have been going to this place for years and have been happy every time.
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.
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!!!
Hands down the BEST tacos in the Naperville/Plainfield surrounding area. I would go to bat for these tacos. The restaurant is located inside the BP gas station on 135th in Plainfield. When my brother first told me about the "amazing gas station tacos", I was a little skeptical to be honest. After trying them just one time, I became a HUGE fan. I typically order two Alambre tacos which contains a blend of steak and chorizo, topped with grilled bell pepper, onions, and cheese. It only took one bite for me to fall in love. Make it a dinner for around $2 more and you get an order of rice and beans on the side. The staff are amazing and are super dedicated to maintaining great taste, variety, and reasonable prices! Definitely worth trying La Nueva Taqueria!
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.
