Indulge in a Delicious 5-Course Meal… Inside a Minnesota Gas Station?

An unsuspecting gas station in Minnesota actually houses a delicious Mexican restaurant that's a must-visit.

If you drove by you'd never know there was a restaurant in there. I've driven by this place many times since the restaurant opened inside and I never knew it was there.

Imagine your partner says they're going to surprise you with an incredible 5-course meal at this delicious restaurant and then you pull up to a gas station. That would actually be kind of hilarious. But you won't regret it!

You can always go in and order something to eat but the 5-course meals are a special event.

The restaurant is called El Sazon Tacos and More and they serve up some incredible looking food.

Chef and co-owner Cristian De Leon and his wife Karen opened El Sazon in March 2022, so they're coming up on their 3-year anniversary.

Cristian is an insanely talented chef who has had his work featured in many other places around the Twin Cities, including at Allianz Field where he's been a guest chef for games, Minneapolis Magazine's Restaurant Week, and plenty of private catering events.

He loves sharing his Latin roots (he's originally from Guatemala) incorporated with "flavors from around the world" that he fell in love with while learning his craft.

Their ingredients are "locally sourced" and the food is "prepared fresh daily". It sounds and looks so good! And if you want a super cool experience, check out one of their 5-course meal events that they call 'Night at the Gas Station'.

For the event, they set up tables around the gas station and Chef Cristian prepares an incredible 5-course menu for the evening. Tickets go fast when they announce these events, just so you know in case you're really itching to go sometime.
