I wish I could've tried there food. My husband came in to order some food and was ignored twice by the cashier. He was waiting for 5 minutes for service. She walked by said "Hello" and walked away. He waited 10 minutes and the same person said "Hello" and walked away. Lost sales.

Update 9/28/25 The steak sopes were great and the avocado sauce is wonderful.The green tamales are great as well. They were so hot they were steaming when i got home very authentic flavor. I definitely want to try more food off the menu here.Well I'll start by saying it tasted good but i didn't care for the hot sauce! Steak tasted good not great but I'm full now so no complaints!

My breakfast steak burrito was so freaking good . It's huge!!!!!! The steak was tender and the portion was a lot. I couldn't even finish the whole thing in one sitting!! Definitely my favorite spot to go too for breakfast burritos.

For a gas station spot they serve the BEST Mexican food in Racine. Ive lived here a little over a year trying to find a spot that matched the quality of Mexican food that is in Milwaukee. This spot tops them all, I dont mind driving a little further to order from here.

Very disappointed. I was going to be a first time customer but instead I stood at the counter for 10 minutes when they could have easily told me they'd be with me in a moment, since they decided to ignore me I just walked out, and no I will not be back.

Our friends told us about this place and we decided to give it a try today. To our surprise, it was absolutely delicious and some of the best Mexican food we’ve had! Definitely recommend giving this place a try. We ordered the loaded potatoes, steak crunchwrap and quesabirria tacos which all tasted fresh and had lots of flavor.

My coworker asked if I had gone the Meli's yet ? I drove past it everyday, and my answer was no. We'll I'm glad I tied it out. This place is a good place for a quick bite or take out for the family. I would suggest any of their rolling drinks. Strawberry 🍓 Horchata ....mmmmm⁰

Small eatery for Mexican food. Don't let the fact that it is located in a gas station dissuade you. Service was fast and the staff exceptional. The menu is more limited than a full service restaurant, but it was fantastic food. There is a table for dine in, but mostly people take out.

The meal was good and the price was fair. I had the Mexican style Al pastor 3 taco combo.

The meat was cooked well and was juicy. The corn tortillas were slightly fried and they used pineapple chunks which I'm not a fan of either choice. They were still good but would have been better with regular tortillas and pineapple slices.

The salsas were really good! The green avocado sauce is banging!! I like simple sauces and this one delivers. Great flavor with some heat that creeps up on you.

Limes were fresh and juicy.

Rice was fluffy and soft and the beans were okay too.

Only downside is there's not much seating as it is located in the gas station. I'll be a returning customer though, I love a good salsa.

DO NOT USE 3rd party apps; DoorDash, UberEats, etc..

Food was alright but not what I order. I was craving breakfast and was given 1/2 of the wrong order. But when I called they were very polite and offered to give either cash refund (because we used door dash) or the meal that they never gave us.

That would be great if I didn’t just drive 20 mins home. All I wanted was that breakfast skillet, but I ended up with steak tacos. I feel bad for who ever didn’t get there tacos 🌮 especially because they spent 5$ extra for avocado.

All the prices are inflated on those apps. Just check the price differences. 3-5$ difference on everything

Ordered the birria and the birria crunch wrap and the meat was very tender but no taste it was very bland consome tasted watered down and almost clear in color with a hint of season. The guy who took the orders was very nonchalant like he didn't want to be there it's a no for me maybe its better at different times which is a terrible thing to say because it shouldn't matter the time of the day but with this experience I won't be back. But good luck with your business I wish you nothing but the best

Don't underestimate this place just because it's inside of a gas station! It's the most flavorful Mexican/American food I've had in Racine. It's always the small family run places that are the best and they ARE the best. I ordered a barria crunch wrap, flautas, and 3 steak tacos with a large strawberry horchata to wash it down. Ate the tacos so fast so theres no picture of it lol but all the food is so full of flavors it makes your mouth water, not just salty but SEASONED so well. The sides like rice and beans and guac are fantastic too. The dipping sauces are great, mild and not spicy for me & hot and spicy for my husband. Please go here and get some wonderful food from these amazing people!

Small place tucked into corner of gas station. Breakfast burrito was delicious! Plenty of tasty cheese and the chorizo wasn't greasy like some can be. There's a small area to sit and eat but it's more of a grab and go. Will definitely be returning.

I had to use the restroom, so my husband stopped at this BP gas station. This is where Meli's is located. I noticed that it was very clean and my husband and I tried the birria crunch wrap and the breakfast melt. The birria crunch wrap was HUGE and the birria meat was so flavorful and generously portioned. The breakfast melt was equally delicious--I highly recommend the steak one because their steak is seasoned very well. My husband got a mangonada and I tried it--it was so unique and so good--I will be getting one the next time that we go here. This appears to be a carryout spot but they do have a few seats inside. Who would've known such outstanding Mexican food could be found in a gas station!

I ordered the 12 piece chicken for. $15.99 and fries upgraded the fries so the super fries for $6 more with NO jalapeños. And there was jalapeño and NO salt or seasoning on the fries at all either.The chicken had NO seasoning and were NOT whole wings! $25??!!! A TOTAL WASTE OF MY MONEY!!! The chicken was over cooked and no taste at all I would like a refund because this was awful and EXPENSIVE!!!

Edit: Came here frequently still and their food is still fire! 9/25/2024

Been here a couple times already because it's close to where I live and I love mexican food. I've tried a few things on their menu already and have not been disappointed. The Birrria crunch wrap was delicious and the guacamole was fresh and super tasty! The buritos are huge and also very good. The breakfast is an added bonus and convenient for those of us that work early and want that early breakfast fix 😋 staff is super friendly and answers your questions about the menu and also offers you what kind of sauces you perfer in the bag as you leave. All in all, I definitely recommend giving this a try. It's not the traditional sit down mexican restaurant and that might deter some people because it's in a gas station, but don't let that stop you. Some of the best mexican foods are in places that aren't the typical traditional sit down restaurant.

I was nervous to get Mexican food from inside a gas station so it took me a long time before summoning the courage to try it. I ordered the Barria Crunch Wrap. For just over $12 I got this item that filled the take-out container. I was very surprised at how large it was and how much meat they put in it. The food was made fresh and it was so quick I was startled when they said it was ready. The wrap was crunchy on the outside, cheese was mostly melted on the inside, and the consomé was flavorful and piping hot.

If you’re like me, nervous about the food because of the location, don’t be! Give it a try and I bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised! I will be back to try more things very soon! I’m just annoyed it took me so long to try it.

Saw this new breakfast place open, decided to try it out. Everything looks really clean and the staff were friendly. The prices were fairly decent and the food was terrific. Would come here again. The location is inside of the BP gas station which makes it convenient to fill up and get food at the same time. They have a high table to eat at in case you want to eat there.
