I spent last Saturday morning at the Elm Fork Shooting Sports Club riding around in a golf cart holding a 12 and 20 gauge pair of shotguns with Mike Merrill from the Social Media Club of Dallas.  We had decided to take advantage of a Facebook Deal a month ago and finally made it out […]

I was tipped off about Taqueria La Tejanita from a comment on another review I did on this blog (thank you Mary for mentioning it.) While Googling for a location, I also came across two reviews from some other Dallas taco bloggers I have met and popped Styrofoam containers with: Taco Sense and the Dallas […]

This is not good news.  The food is good news but the location of this find is not good news, at least it’s not for your fellow airplane passengers. On my way to Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW), I decided to do a quick Google search for “gas station tacos Grapevine.”  Grapevine is a town […]

I was recently asked “what’s that corn stuff called?”  Well, it’s called Elote and Dallas’ own Fuel City gas station has one of the best outside carts serving small, medium and large “Cups of Corn.” Elote is a perfect side dish to some Pastor tacos, my personal favorite from Fuel City. Basically Elote is corn […]

Discovering a gas station taco place is often accidental. It rarely happens on purpose.  Take for instance a drive one weekend with the family to an allergy bedding store that included a pass by a nondescript Texaco station with a small Taqueria sign off a side wall far from the road of the station. The […]

If Whole Foods opened up a competitor to 7-Eleven and served tacos and grass-fed hamburgers, The Green Spot would be the blueprint. Situated near White Rock Lake in a fairly nondescript gas station, that if you’re not a local, you are sure to pass it by.  Too bad, because The Green Spot is a fascinating […]

I really love the work coming out of the Dallas Food Nerd blog and wanted to do some content for them so I picked up a couple of lunch items down at Fuel City and did a taco vs burrito lunch face-off.  You can checkout my full review online there and be sure to also […]

I spent last Saturday’s lunchtime doing the unthinkable… eating tacos without a gas pump in sight.  It was all for a good cause as I participated in The Great Taco Meetup of ’11. It was a beautiful day for some outdoor dining at a simple taco stand in Garland, Texas. We gathered at In & […]

You know a gas station takes its taqueria seriously when it invests in a lighted sign and custom awning. That’s what Abierto did when it became part of a Texaco station on Inwood in Dallas, Texas. The day I stopped by for lunch there were four people waiting for their orders and inside sat an […]

Our family converted to local grass-fed meats early last year and as part of that change we made sure we found a quality small ranch when we moved to Dallas last July.  The place we found is called Burgundy Pasture Beef in Grandview, Texas. On our last drive to the ranch, I noticed we passed […]
