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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I can’t really say for sure whether this is the first time GroupOn has offered a gas station taco deal, but I’m pretty sure it’s a good guess this is a first.  If you a fan of Fuel City Tacos and who isn’t? They are running a 50% off deal to get $6 worth of […]

Chorizo tacos are underrated. I love it when I see chorizo on a lunch menu.  Taqueria Cholula had no shortage of options for the taco fanatic. Sure there are the typical beef fajita, chicken, pastor and barbacoa options. There are 14 total options; though, two were out on the day of my visit. Taqueria Cholula […]

I live a food paradox. At home I cook using fresh, mostly organic and try to do local as much as possible. We also buy all of our meats from a local ranch in Grandview, Texas Burgundy Pasture Beef that raises grass-fed animals and our chicken from another local source, Windy Meadows Family Farm. In […]

I am fortunate enough this week to be driving around in a Chevy Volt, the electric gas engine vehicle from General Motors, designed to make less frequent gas station stops. After a couple days of driving, I’ve only put 3 miles on the car using the gas engine; the rest has been all electric powered […]

Gas station Taquerias are often not located in the desirable part of town. Pulling up to a gas station with a flashy bright red convertible can have its drawbacks and my visit to El Tacaso was one of those times. I began filling my tank and walked over to the outside counter of the taco […]
