Finally good Mexican food near Eastvale!!! Service was quick. You order at the register and the food is brought to your table. All of our food was good! I didn't personally get tacos but I did notice that it was $6 for one taco... however they have happy hour specials everyday after 3pm where tacos are around $3.

What?!? It's basically gas station Mexican fast food ... but it's soooo good! There are sit down tables and a bar (beer, wine & wine-based cocktails) ... attached to a Circle K next door. We got there shortly after 3pm ... when their Happy Hour started. All the food was crazy tasty including the HH Al Pastor Nachos ($5.99), HH 5 pc Wings ($4.99), HH Carne Asada/Al Pastor/Grilled-Fried Fish Tacos ($3.99 each), and the Carnitas Street Burrito ($11.99). To top it off ... all draft, 12 oz. bottled beer, cocktails, and 6 oz. wine pours were $2 off during HH. So, we also got a pint of the House Lager & Modelo ... but the best was the Elysian IPA Space Dust that could be made into a michelada for only $2 more. Although, the super nice woman waiting on us warned that no one has ever gotten that ... it was the BOMB and I ended up getting another one!! There were also various aguas frescas ... which we tried the horchata. But the icing on the cake was their self-serve salsa bar with 4 different options (not too spicy) and a fuego on the side (still not too overly spicy) ... along with grilled onions/peppers, sliced radishes, lime wedges, and some pico de gallo. It's not full-service, but if you want some great food that you can order at the counter and have them bring to you ... this place rocks! Food came out super fast and the service was great too. Only (small) negative was that their tacos would have seemed expensive, if not for HH prices. However, they were really good especially with the hand made tortillas. Just know what to expect before getting there and you won't be surprised (like we were) at this place.

Stopped at Alvarado's on the way back from Jurupa valley. To be honest. At first the location was a bit off putting as it's next to a truck stop and connected to the gas station. But the food, service, and ambiance... top notch. Ordered the machaca burrito, Alvarado salad and the birria tacos to share. The beef in the burrito was super tender and the mix of peppers and onions fit really well. But definitely add some salsas, peppers and onions from the sauce bar for an extra kick. One thing I wished was that it came with more chips to complement the meal. The Alvarado salad with added carne asada was super fresh and tasty with their special sauce. Lastly the birria tacos although it's not too authentic, the flavor and the texture was really good. Overall, definitely a place to drop by if you are in the nearby area to try it out.

On my way home from the airport was craving some Mexican food so I thought I'd try this place. Once I got there we noticed that it was part of the gas station. Once you walk in through these beautiful doors , you get transported to a location you would find in Mexico. The service was great you place your order at the counter and they take it to your table. They have a salsa bar, and they also have a bar area that has tvs. I ordered the nachos with carne asada which were good. My daughter ordered the asada burrito which was really good. We also ordered the charro beans which were delicious.

Wasn't sure what to expect with Alvarado's being connected to a Circle K but really glad I didn't judge it off of that. The food was really good! I ordered the surf and turf burrito and wow it had so much flavor! It also had a lot of shrimp, they don't skimp there! My husband got the carne asada fries, and he said they were also very good, the fries were just crispy enough! It's happy hour every day after 3pm which was great we ordered the nachos for $5 which were also great. The servers were all very nice and consistently were checking up on us. They had multiple TVs in there with all the games playing which just adds to the vibe. Honestly everything was great and we'll be back for sure!

It was my first time here because the nearby Mexican food place by my house was not so good. So I came on Yelp and I found this place. I decided to give it a try. I ordered it to because it was late and I was in a rush to get home, but I ordered the following: * one shrimp and steak taco with cheese * one carne asada taco The customer service here was excellent in the short amount of time I was there. I was only here for five minutes to pick up my food. The atmosphere was great. It was very casual and very clean. Again, I ordered my stuff and took it to go, so I didn't really spend much time, but the small amount of time that I did spend, the interaction was great and I got good vibes from staff. My food was super yummy too, and a perfect size taco. Not too big and not too small and they were not stingy with the meat. Very flavorful. I will be coming back when I have more time and actually enjoy the food at the establishment rather than my car. Also the horchata was perfect. Not too sweet and not watered down.

We are trying this place for the 1st time. So far it's not too bad, we like the environment and the vibe with there music and TVs with sports on. They share the bathroom with the Circle K but the restroom are very clean. The person that took order didn't give us a smile. And was kinda short with us. Food tasted good, but price a little pricey. Over all a good hang out. They also have a bar and Happy Hour everyday starting at 3 pm.
