" I was hesitant to try food from a gas station, but El Rey Burro completely changed my mind about gas station food! Their burritos are gigantic, and the flavors are so authentic. The staff is always cheerful and quick to serve. If you’re in the Yelm area, do yourself a favor and stop by! " (*Curated Review*)

" This has been my go-to taco place for many years. I love their authenticity; it reminds me of my travels through Mexico. The taco portions are filling, and I usually can’t finish my order, which is a good problem to have! The staff treats you like family. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a surprise this place was! I wasn't expecting to find such amazing tacos in a gas station. The flavors were vibrant, and everything was fresh. They do take a bit longer during peak hours, but it’s well worth the wait. Highly recommend trying their burritos too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried a lot of burritos in my lifetime, but the one from El Rey Burro certainly ranks among the best. The portion size was generous, and it was flavorful without being overwhelming. Service was quick even during a busy lunch hour. Would definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rey Burro is not your average gas station food. You can taste the quality in every bite. I had the pollo loca (spicy chicken burrito) and it was packed with spices. The service is fast, and the environment feels comforting. I highly recommend it for anyone craving great Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rey Burro has been my go-to for quick and tasty Mexican food. I love the carne asada tacos! Always perfectly seasoned and generously stuffed. The service is fast, making it ideal for a quick lunch break. However, the atmosphere is quite casual, which I appreciate but also indicates it might not suit everyone’s taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and excellent customer service! I tried the burrito with steak, and it was overflowing with flavor. Definitely a place that proves one does not need to dine in a fancy establishment for great food. I plan on returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
