    People's if you are looking for tacos look no further. It's probably one of the best tacos places in RTP. It's inside a gas station.

    This place was the best. If you’re in the area do you self a favor try the food here. You stand in line, look at the food behind the counter and tell the lady what you want and she’ll put it in a plate and then you go to the other end of the counter and check out. Doesn’t matter if you speak Spanish or not, you’ll get served no problem and trust me you will be glad you did. My pictures aren’t the best. I forgot to take them before I started eating.

    Today, I stopped by this place. I’d driven past it many times and always saw long lines of cars and people, but today, while refueling, I decided to grab something to eat. First of all, I was impressed by the large selection of food. It’s not just tacos or burritos—they offer full dishes as well. The staff was polite and friendly, which was nice. As for the food, it exceeded my expectations. The tacos were big and tasty. I ordered three different ones; one of them, which I think was the steak taco, seemed a bit dry, but the other two were excellent. I also got a chicken quesadilla, which was really good as well. Overall, I’m very happy to have discovered an awesome Mexican spot close by!

    Within the gas station, fast and good service. Not very consistent food, the fillings of the breakfast burrito were all over the place and I had a taco with minimal fillings but nothing major, flavors and salsa were good.

    Pretty good tacos. The tortillas are hand made fresh for each order. The chicken burrito was meh The restaurant is located inside a gas station so there isn't much seating - about 3 outdoor tables available and it's mostly pick up orders.

    Good food. Fast moving service. Tortillas constantly being made. Limited parking due to contractors getting food for their day.
