Advertising a gas station taqueria comes in many forms. Usually there is some sort of signage to the side of the station’s mini-mart letting visitors know tacos are inside. Sometimes there are full-scale restaurants attached to the side of a service station market like a recent find in Marble Falls, TX. Some stations combine promoting […]

Review: Super Taco
Half the fun of doing a gas station taco blog is the hunt. I find out about places from people asking if I know such-and-such a place and searching Yelp and Google, but serendipity is still how I find most gas station taquerias. Driving back from San Antonio and spending a few hours in Fredericksburg, […]
Review: Habaneros The Taco Revolution
One night after trying to head back to Dallas after a Texas Rangers game I passed a Valero gas station with a flashy red habanero pepper shouting “The Taco Revolution.” Its signage looked chain-like similar to Grapevine’s Green Chili Grill (neither are chains.) I eventually found an entrance to the freeway that wasn’t blocked-off by […]
A Mini “Taco Tour” in Downtown Los Angeles
This week I spent time in my hometown Los Angeles. I was there to attend and speak at Blog World Expo and while I was looking forward to seeing some good friends, listen to some great talks, and learn what others are doing in blogging I was more excited about a “taco tour” I planned […]
Fuel City Gets a Patio
So the big news today in gas station taco land is that Dallas’ Fuel City now has an outside dining area. It appears someone used their carpentry and landscaping skills and popped up a place to eat their famous $1.40 picadillo taco. Having a place to eat a gas station taco isn’t anything new as […]
Review: Tacos 4 You
Yelp is a great resource for finding hidden gas station taco locations. Awhile back, El Regio Taqueria came up in search, but it had one review and a sad 1 star review at that. So poor the reviewer commented, “Someone give me mint! I can’t get the taste out of my mouth!” I can’t say […]
Review: Rafa’s Mexican Food
Yelp is a goldmine when it comes to finding gas station taco places. Finding a taco worth reviewing in a city one is not familiar with can be a treacherous proposition, but thanks to some unknown food reviewers on a local review website it can be mitigated. Rafa’s Mexican Food is housed inside a very […]
Review: Breakfast Tacos at The Green Spot
The Green Spot gas station is in a league of its own. Having reviewed their lunch taco options a couple month s ago, it was clear this place is not the ordinary gas station or taco stand. The success here has already led to one spin-off when the original Taqueria Good 2 Go Taco moved […]
Review: El Tacaso (Walnut Hill Location)
Under a red awning with white lettering reading “El Tacaso”, a red metal curtain covered what looked like an outside order window. Walking up to the Shell mini mart I wasn’t certain the taco stand still existed, but that thought was soon whisked away as I entered and noticed three small tables and a decent […]
Review: Taqueria el Guache
I walked into the Flash Mart convenience store turned to my right and walked to a wall with a door. I wasn’t sure what was going on. I then exited out of the mart and walked across the store front passing a small wine section that must have been what the door inside was all […]
