Find food in the middle of nowhere on a road trip from Los Angeles to Detroit can lead to some very disappointing meals. Fortunately, La Pasadita is an exception to that disappointment. This taco truck parked at a former Shell gas station complete with sit down dining inside the former gas station market and seating […]

This is our third cross-country road trip from Los Angeles to Michigan in the past four years. Of course, I’m always on the lookout for tacos when driving by gas stations.
