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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

“The Pastor (pork) is out of this world.  Like roasted dragon tits.  Juicy, spicy and packed with flavor.” – Reviewer on Yelp.com I knew I had to try this place after reading a brief review on Yelp.com and we had spent the afternoon at a Dave & Busters like place called Main Event that wasn’t […]

I made two gas station taco stops on my way to Austin last Friday.  The Troy Tanqueria was an unplanned stop as I noticed a Tanqueria sign while passing an exit heading South on I-35. Unfortunately very few gas stations advertise they have food on a billboard or on a next exit sign, so you […]
