Taco Station - Riverside

I hadn't been to Taco Station in quite a few years because I don't get over that way too often, but decided to go today because they were contributing a portion of their food sales to a local charity that I support. I am glad that I did! I ordered the fish taco plate with 2 tacos, rice, beans, and a few chips. The beans were OK, but seemed like they were from a can. The rice was nice and fluffy with a garlicky flavor that I enjoyed. The fish tacos were big, and the fish tasted fresh. As big as they were, they could have used a little more crema sauce. They have a nice salsa bar, but pro tip; The chunky salsa you might think is the mild one is NOT the mild one. Even so, it was tasty and worked wonders for my sinus issues. The restaurant itself is colorfully themed as a mid-century gas station/auto repair shop because that's what the building used to be a long time ago and they are honoring that heritage. Service was quick and friendly. Taco Station will definitely go back into my rotation of Mexican food restaurants.

Needed a quick bite before my drive home and found the Taco Station. The racing theme is hokey especially for a taco joint but they had some old gas pumps inside plus other collectibles. I 'm assuming the owner is a massive car enthusiast. They called their sides accessories. The service was extremely pleasant and the whole process was quick. I went with the mild salsa and it was hotter than I 'd expected, but it was tasty. The burrito was good, but nothing special. The carne asada is so finely chopped that it 's hard to tell the ratio of meat to fillers. A hair under $10 seemed reasonable. I 'd eat here again in a heartbeat, but it 's not so good that I 'd go out of my way to go back. A solid 4 stars.

The tacos are great, but the shrimp cocktail had a lot of ketchup in it. The service was good and the ambience was relaxing.

Really cute joint with an extensive menu but way overpriced for what it is $2.99 per classic taco). The meats were ok and the Al Pastor was spiced nicely, but the best part was the tortilla, which seemed homemade in the best way. My mom didn't like her fish tacos, which were over battered and topped with too much crema.

One of my favorite taco spots to eat at. I normally get the California burrito, service is pretty quick and they have a great selection of beers as well!
