Katie’s Tex Mex: Reviews & Ratings
Great, authentic food. Made fresh and staff is very friendly. We've enjoyed it so much we decided to have them cater for a few events. Quality did not decrease.
The food is first rate in terms of quality, flavor and price. And the ladies running the place are nice (except one). The downside is that it's inside an average gas station store. There are two tables w/chairs but your car for sure is an upgrade to the zero frills ambiance of the place. Think of it as an upgrade to an 'indoors food truck'.LOL
Wow Carne asada for $14. Fresh, grilled pepper and a quarter of fresh avacado. Amazing The gas station is also extremely clean and well stocked Has good deserts.
Food was excellent. Tacos are $4. A bit pricey for the environment but they are a decent size and very tasty. Tamal was excellent, as was pupusa and the rice and beans. Beef tacos have a slight soy/teriyaki glaze but it makes them taste extra tasty. Lengua was excellent. Service was very nice and helpful and very friendly.
Fresh delicious food at the gas station. Got the carne asada and it was so good. Highly recommended
$12 burrito was yummy. We got a steak burrito and a pork-with-pineapple burrito
Who would have thought I would enjoy food from a gas station?! The workers at our house were eating some papusas and they told me they got it from here. I’ve lived here so long and never knew it was just right here at my local gas station! Food was excellent. Like homemade food. They need to put an ad there so people would know about it. Friendly ladies! Oh and it’s not Mexican. It’s Salvadoran food.
Just found this hidden gem! Don't let the slightly grody gas station exterior fool you. The food is great and fresh. Friendly service, too!
