El Sazon Tacos and More is located inside an unassuming BP station on Diffley Road in Eagan – and it just happens to serve up some of the best tacos in Minnesota. That’s right: tasty tacos from a gas station. Let’s find out how the restaurant pulls off this improbable feat.

El Sazon is the brainchild of an experienced chef and his wife and partner, who both worked in the hospitality industry for years before deciding to start their own business.
