Mexican cafe Greenville TX

AWESOME -- REAL -- TACOS MEXICANOS -- PILGRIMAGE WORTHY. 5-star tacos, but 1-star ambiance due to the roughness of the neighborhood and the hard-used nature of the building. Excellent gas-station tacos can be found anywhere in Texas, but TRULY EXCEPTIONAL ones are rare, and sometimes you have to leave your Anglo comfort zone to find them. Do it and you will be rewarded. Blasterz had three kinds of tacos here, and all were exceptional. We use carne Al pastor as a barometer of excellence because it can be hard to get the balance right between annatto, vinegar, and pineapple juice. The Carne al pastor here came cube-style, but the pork was meltingly tender and had been crisped on the grill. The spice blend for pork was not too heavy on the vinegar, and nicely balanced the sweetness of the pineapple juice in the marinade. Lengua (tongue) was simply boiled with salt until it was fall-apart tender, then chopped and ladled generously into fresh hot corn tortillas. A spritz of lime, and a scattering of cilantro and onion is all we added -- and enjoyed every tender bite of this flavourful but overlooked (by Anglos) cut of beef. Chicharron tacos here are the stewed pork skin style. The strips of tough pork skin are cooked until soft and melting, until you bite in and taste a burst of glorious pig flavor in a tortilla. Yum!!! Heavenly comfort food at its best. Not in the mood for a taco? The Beef fajita quesadilla was filled with melted Asadero cheese and plenty of tender fajita meat. Like the best BBQ, the best gas station tacos are usually found in slightly spooky, hard-used older buildings in economically-challenged parts of town. But the journey is so worth it :)

Tortas are amazing! Vegetarian options. If you're near by, you must stop and have a taste. You won't leave hungry, I guarantee that!

Simply amazing food. This is a place to go out of the way to get some tortas. I'm not kidding you, I've eaten tortas all over the map amd these are amazing. The owner pours her heart into her cooking skills. She caters to vegetarians. Very sweet and kind. The portions are huge, you feel like family here. There's a reason it's always busy! Even the fries are aweosme!

Tremendous room for improvement in each direction. Gas pumps, staff, prices, cups, drug paraphernalia, customers, cleanliness, and more.
