★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kris Pariyar · Nov 2025

So, we’ve heard the food is divine. The whole family was excited to go and can’t wait to actually try it. Unfortunately, the website indicated they used to be a food truck but now had indoor seating, and we called to double check but with our limited Spanish, we weren’t able to communicate on the phone or in person. Turns out it’s inside a gas station…Still, the menu looked dope and it’s a popular place.

Handmade corn tortillas tacos were excellent. Horchata not bad either. if you’re hungry at the Exxon station, choose this.

Stopped at a gas station on our way home and was pleasantly surprised to see they had food! Tried the baleadas (tortillas filled with beans, egg, and cheese) and she offered to add guacamole — which was free, along with salsas and sour cream 😊 Delicious and exactly what I needed. The verde sauce was to die for. I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future road trips!

I'm here out of town for work. Stumbled across these gem of a food truck at the gas station and have been coming back day after day. It's that good and authentic, the owner is very nice and hospitable. I'll be back for sure! Thank you for that lil extra surprise with my last order of tacos! 👌🏾

Tacos are my favorite food in the universe and I have eaten them all over the country. Tacos from El Nene are my absolute favorite tacos on Kent island. My husband and I have ordered them on over 30 occasions and the chicken and carnitas are always seasoned to perfection. I can't get enough of the chicken as it is probably the most delicious seasoned chicken I've ever had on a Taco anywhere. THE guac and chips are also fantastic....It would be nice if they would serve a side of some sort of crema drizzle...Yum... when I'm pregnant 🤰these tacos are all I want to eat! We LOVE El Nene!
