The former Mexican Restaurant inside gas station, which was never open, has been replaced. The new one offered authentic Mexican tacos on handmade tortillas. Tacos are $2.50 or $3.50 each, depending on the taco.
The attendant who took our order translated for the cook. All the ingredients were more on the Mexican side of Tex Mex. If you ask for spicy salsa, they give you a little bit of what looks like a cool, green creamy avocado salsa. But don't get fooled by appearances. It packs a wallop!
We each two tacos each and were very full. I had a mole taco and a barbacoa taco. My wife had bacon egg and cheese tacos. They were all generously filled. They're authentic enough that you really don't need to add cheese. And the bacon was the type you get at the Super Mercado, not at HEB. It's all pretty authentic, and I'm glad it's so close to home.
I'm keeping my 5-star rating for this place. It's an Aim Mart now (no longer Woodies), with an Exxon out front, this Mexican place, Hunt Brothers Pizza, clean restrooms and a beer cave inside. They have nice 70% dark chocolate bars (several to choose from), and your standard convenience store items. Each has pump has a squeegee with soapy water. And there's always people shopping there but never a line. What more can you ask for in a gas station? read more
