I stopped in here on my way to work this morning to see what I could scrounge up for a quick breakfast to eat on my hellish commute. I was pleasantly surprised to see a small taco stand set up inside the convenience store. The elderly woman running the stand was finishing up packing several tacos into a container for the customer in front of me but still greeted me with a smile and asked if I wanted just one taco. I said yes. She handed me a card and directed me to pay first. I was a little surprised at the cost of $3 for one breakfast taco but it's only slightly more than similar gas station tacos that are premade sitting in a heating bin.
When I returned to the cart, she was just finishing the customer before me then began my taco. I was concerned when she pulled out to smallish tortillas and I wasn't sure if they were flour or corn. She put them in a heating oven and I was even more concerned when the timer read almost 3 minutes. Fortunately, she pulled them out after about a minute. Then, she laid those two tortillas (which turned out to be flour) end to end and began stuffing this makeshift giant burrito with as much beans, chorizo, eggs and cheese as she could fit into them and had little concern with the ability to close this behemoth nor my impending weight gain.
I briefly considered trying to eat this thing on the road, as planned, but quickly realized I'd show up to work wearing a chorizo splattered shirt looking like a Jackson Pollock painting. When I was finally able to taste this mega taco, I was mostly satisfied. The four tortilla wasn't as soft and fluffy as some but the sturdiness allowed for it to maintain its structure even with the copious amount of filling. The filing was extremely flavorful and tasty; however, the chorizo and eggs were a little on the overly salty side. It may have been the chorizo or a heavy handed cook, I'm not sure.
TLDR version: The $3 breakfast taco at this gas station is huge, filling, and tasty. Chorizo may be a bit salty. If there's several orders in front of you, it may be a wait. Don't try to eat these and drive. read more
