    I would not recommend this place. I purchased an $11 Seafood Burrito and what you see is what I got. The shrimp was to be "blackened" yet as you can see, not so. The fish was a tiny piece of non seasoned grouper. There was absolutely no flavor or seasoning whatsoever ever added to any of the protein. There was 4 pieces of shrimp. For $11 I'd have expected alot more than what I got. I was visiting from Arizona and thought the Mexican food would be comparable but I was wrong. DONT RISK IT.

    I love Taco Bus but this location is terrible. I asked for utensils and beans on the side, and I haven't received any. I asked for no cheese and there was melted cheese all over my food. Rice was extremely burnt, so hard that my teeth were hurting after accidentally biting it. I had to throw away the whole food because I couldn't eat it since I'm allergic to cheese and rice was without cheese but completely burnt. Thankfully uber gave me a refund but only partial one so I am still unhappy. I do not recommend ordering from this location.

    Very surprised by the cleanliness and quality at this location. I came in for something to eat after 2am, the food was great and ordering was easy. I love Mexican soda with my tacos so that made me happy too. Looking forward to trying more on the menu. Highly recommended by me going forward.

    Worst service ever, I waited a half hour to get my food. I had to ask them for, it and it was sitting in the back. Then she puts it in a bag and says I called you. Wrong I was sitting there watching give people their food that came after me. She never put a any utensils or napkins in the bag so now I can't eat my food.

    Okay, service when ordering and give them a tip. Then you go to the dirty tables, ask for a rag or something to wipe the tables and they can't help you. When you go to the salsa bar, It's a mess, and out of salsa, i asked for salsa from the girl at the counter, and she yells across the room for someone to fill the salsa She then handed me one she was upset with me. They had 3 girls behind the counter and 2 guys in the dining area. I got the Carne Asada Taco's, and they had a bunch of fat and grissel. Wow, they used to be great!

    I should have realized when I saw it was in a gas station, but I try not to judge. Some of the best food comes from hole in the wall places. This place was not one of those places. Gas station was dirty and the ladies room was missing half its ceiling... So ordering was a nightmare. I'll let it slide because I'm not the best on self service kiosks, but it was extremely confusing. The staff was pleasant enough with the 2 seconds it took for him to hand me my order. The food? It was the absolute worst Mexican foid I've ever eaten. I first ordered street corn. It was a dried up husk that was so overcooked it was sticky. No thank you. Salsa was just wet tomato sauce. No flavor at all. I ordered the steak tacos figuring it would be a higher quality. No. Tough tough chewy bites again with no flavor. Filler was tasteless and dry. I will most definitely never go back. I am not a Karen nor do I get any joy writing a bad review. Just want to let others know my experience as I often rely on others reviews when making my choices. If you're the owner, please do better.

    Disgusting. Stepped up to the front counter and the guy in the kitchen rudly said I order from the screen didn't ask if I needed help or anything. Then decides to go wash dishes and go to the back after placing my order. I waited 10 minutes for him to come back and cook my order. Ended up walking off and going to work hungry because he was to busy dealing with other stuff instead of his customer. I will not ever be back here.

    I came back just because of Heather! She made my experience memorable. Her actions shows that she really cares about my experience as a customer. I work right up the street and there’s many food choices in the area but I will keep coming back because Heather makes me feel at home.

    The signature Taco Bus what more can be said? My food was hot and tasty. If it wasn't for their tables being closed at night, this would have been a 5 star experience down the board. Our best choice was to eat in the parking lot like a tailgate. Which, late night, feels a lot more like loitering than tailgating.

    They got our order wrong and forgot our corn...but the food we did get was very good. Huge tacos with all the good stuff. Churros were not good but definitely recommend for late night hunger.

    Great food. Friendly, but slow service. Make sure to remind them about drinks, chips, sides...Just check your order. Food is worth the wait. They also have free red and green salsa condiments.

    The best chimichanga around, the presentation of the food was 5 stars, I'm really impressed. The staff was friendly and the place was cozy and clean, definitely coming back there if I'm around.

    Best Tacos in Tampa!! Great selection of food, street style. Fast and delicious. Haven't had a bad experience yet and have been here about once a week (sometimes multiple times a week) for months. They run daily specials, so you'lldefinitelyget your money's worth. You will not be disappointed.

    Even though it was a show gas station everybody in there was just happy I didn't see one crabby person. Matter of fact I had a soda from the gas station Park and got the tacos for Taco bus excellent tacos as usual the gentleman in front of me paid for my soda. So I passed on and bought a taco somebody else people were very nice there as well how are you smiled starting to miss something restaurants they forget that they didn't.

    Delicious food! Huge portions! I had the two soft tacos...but they were more like giant burritos! Very clean and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!

  • 3/5 Linda B. 1 year ago on Google
    Almost a 4 star ...staff was very nice. Every was working. No one standing around on their phone which was nice to see. They only received 3 stars because my vegetarian burrito was cold. The beans through and through was not cooked properly. Kind of sucked to bite into a cold burrito. I got mine "to go" so didn't want to drive all the way back.

    Basic Burrito Bus 🌯 🚌 is what they should call this place. I will say it was pretty fast from order to eat. The ordering kiosks were a little different than the normal one's, you completely build the order. I thought it was a little pricey for what it is by a couple dollars. Also my burrito was cut in half and one side was split because they rolled it to hard or something so it got messy.

    No joke. This place was amazing. It's inside the gas station convenience store so at first I figured how good could it be. Holy s*** the tacos are fantastic. Not only that , the workers were fantastic and friendly to boot. Highly recommend.

    First time eating at a Taco Bus. I can't believe I haven't stopped in sooner; we all make mistakes. The food is really good.

  • 5/5 Benji S. 1 year ago on Google
    This has become one of my favorite places for lunch or dinner. The quality of food is always consistent with a wide menu. I didn't like the i-pad ordering at first but have come to like it because I can take my time and order exactly the way I want. Prices are fair for what you get.
