Authentic Mexican tacos, birria ramen, and pizza in a gas station
"An unassuming yet standout taco shop that began inside a suburban gas station, launched by Cristian and Karen De Leon as their first venture; it became known for a popular quesabirria that helped establish the chefs’ reputation and set the stage for subsequent brick-and-mortar projects." - Cinnamon Janzer
"Tucked inside an Eagan gas station, El Sazon is a family-owned operation serving some of the Cities’ finest tacos. Don’t miss the birria ramen served with two tacos. Owners Karen and chef Cristian DeLeon’s first standalone location, El Sazon Cocina & Tragos, is now open in Tangletown, as is their newest venture, Xelas by El Sazon, near Stillwater that’s very worth the short drive. The original outpost accepts online orders for carryout as well as delivery through Uber Eats and Doordash." - Cinnamon Janzer
"A popular counter service spot known for its casual birria-based dishes like tacos, ramen, and pizza, originally located within an Eagan BP gas station." - Serena Maria Daniels
"I’m familiar with Eagan’s El Sazon, which serves famously good tacos from inside a BP gas station." - Justine Jones
"El Sazon serves some of the Cities’ finest tacos from inside an Eagan gas station. Don’t miss the pork belly chicharrón taco, tender and fatty and crowned with purple cabbage, queso fresco, and salsa ranchera, all over a fresh smear of guacamole. Owners Karen and chef Cristian De Leon’s newest restaurant, El Sazon Cocina & Tragos, offers equally stellar tacos in south Minneapolis." - Justine Jones, Ali Elabbady, Eater Staff
