" I really appreciate how Taqueria El Mana cooks everything to order. The freshness is palpable, and their tacos de barbacoa have so much flavor! While I’ve had fears about the safety of eating in a gas station environment, I can confidently say that this taco shop is a legitimate gem. They do need to improve on their wait times and some staff training, but the food quality compensates for those downsides. The prices are fair for the portion sizes you receive, so I really feel like I’m getting my money's worth. If you're nearby and craving some tacos, definitely go for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Taqueria El Mana on a recommendation, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the quesadilla with tripas and a side of rice, which was incredibly satisfying. The portion size was above average, especially for the price. The food came hot and fresh, but the eating area could have been tidied up a bit. I could faintly smell the gas station, which somewhat detracted from the experience. Yet again, the flavors were rich and authentic, reminding me of home-cooked meals. If you can bear with a less-than-perfect ambiance, the food here is a winner every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been searching for authentic tacos ever since I moved to Duncanville, and I finally found my spot at Taqueria El Mana. The carne asada was tender and flavorful, and the corn tortillas were just the right amount of soft and chewy. The salsa verde really took it to another level, adding just the right amount of heat. I love the convenience of it being in a gas station; it’s like a hidden gem! The only downside is that it can get crowded during lunch hours, but that just shows how popular it is! I wholeheartedly recommend trying their breakfast tacos if you get the chance. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This taco place is a delicious find! The barbacoa tacos are mouthwatering, especially when paired with their homemade salsa — just the right level of spiciness. The staff has always been friendly, though it can get a little chaotic during busy hours. I tried calling in my order once and still waited about 15 minutes; however, once I tasted the food, it was all worthwhile. The atmosphere is typical of a gas station setup, but don’t let that fool you; the food quality is high. In addition, the prices are reasonable, which makes it more appealing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria El Mana offers some genuine and mouthwatering tacos! The carne asada was juicy, and the flavors were reminiscent of my grandma’s cooking. The only downside was the atmosphere; it does feel like a gas station. However, considering the quality of food being served, it's easy to overlook that! I would recommend this taco shop to anyone who values authentic Mexican cuisine and generous portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I stop by Taqueria El Mana, I leave with a full stomach and a big smile. The tacos are absolutely fantastic — perfectly seasoned meat and lovely corn tortillas that hold everything beautifully. Their green salsa is my go-to, although I’ve made it a mission to try all their salsas over time! The only issue I’ve experienced is the service. It seems like every time I go, there’s a line, and the staff could be a bit more organized. Nevertheless, do yourself a favor and try their carne asada tacos! You'll thank me later. " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute gem! Taqueria El Mana serves some of the best tacos I have ever eaten. The flavors are authentic and remind me of my abuela’s cooking. I tried their chicharrón and was pleasantly surprised at how crispy it was. The only downside was the service may require a little patience, especially during peak hours, but the wait is well worth it. For anyone looking for a hidden gem with fantastic, authentically swathed flavors, this is the place to be. Come hungry, because they don’t skimp on portion sizes! " (*Curated Review*)
