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 […]

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 […]

I was in Spokane, Washington on business travel this week spending some time in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It was a part of the country I had only driven through on my way from Portland, Oregon to Michigan for college back in 1994 and again in 1995 when I made the same trip, but this time […]

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 […]

If you are looking for TexMex at a gas station, Los Tapatios may be the place for you.  The reviews on Yelp and Google average 4 out of 5 stars with several reviews praising the authenticity of the food, similar to what you’ll find in Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico I would guess based on the name […]

It was a couple weekends ago when I attempted to try Tacos Cantu after a Texas Rangers baseball game. Unfortunately, it was quite late and the taco stand was closed.  Also, this fairly deserted area between Arlington and Fort Worth was a bit more shady at night than I expected.  So, my friend and I […]

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 […]
