King Mart, a Phillips…read more66-branded filling station/convenience store in this Navarro County seat recently added a counter, some tables and cooking equipment to produce muy delicioso street-style Mexican food - tacos, burritos and quesadillas. Hamburgers are also in the menu. There is a lot of pass-through traffic between Dallas and Houston, so the owner decided to install a lunch counter. In talking with the owner, he admitted to never having been to Fuel City in Dallas to try their tacos. Instead, he brought in a local cook to develop their own menu. The meats - carne asada, barbacoa, pollo, lengua, etc. are all fresh. They also make their own salsas - hot habenero, mild red and mild green - and keep them in a warmer. I ordered the carne asada tacos on corn tortillas (flour is also available). You can watch as the cook dips the tortillas and then fries them up on the grill. They then place a generous amount of meat, onions and cilantro on top. They are served with lime wedges. The steak was seasoned nicely, dripping juices and very tender. At $1.39 each, the tacos are a tasty steal. This place does not have table cloths, silverware or china. Be prepared to sit at a small counter with locals or grab one of the few bench-style tables.

For $8.89 it was definitely worth it. Packed with ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns and more. My wife enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. The portion sizes match the price.

What an unexpected find! I got the General burger and it was delicious. I saw the raw patties and…read morethey looked fresh ground. Patties are a good portion and cooked perfectly. Price was fantastic - less than $10 for the cheeseburger, onion rings, and fountain drink. No upcharge for the onion rings! Im not positive, but the onion rings looked kind of homemade and they were very tasty. The staff were friendly, and you are surrounded by a hardware store, which is a cool vibe. Highly recommend!

And while the other one is great and fabulous, this one is one star better. A huge selection of baked goods, coffee, decor, clothing, drinks and more. The Kissing Pig Cafe has so many food options, too! Mrs. K. has not had a kolache in years and she's now pescatarian which presents certain challenges. It would be awesome if they had some kolaches with just cheese or were sweet, so while I had one with ham and cheese and one with sausage in cheese, she was at least able to enjoy a strawberry and cream danish as well as the always awesome poppyseed kolache. It's possible that a pecan square was purchased for later consumption, too. The self-serve coffee was great and we enjoyed all of this inside at a comfortable table. And after that, more shopping. So much great stuff to choose from here and very, very clean restrooms. If you're overwhelmed by that massive baked goods counter, just ask for recommendations. They'll get you sorted for sure!

Excellent selection of kolaches and klobasneky. You can also buy sandwiches. Minus: as on previous visits, I have found that they are often out of poppyseed and prune kolaches. Not the servers' fault but you would think management would be keen to bake more of what sells most. Then there are the sandwiches. If you want pork, you'll get value. But if you want brisket, look out! I've never seen a more miserly portion offered for 13 dollars. I understand that brisket is expensive now. But I still get it at various restaurants and have to say that it was a five dollar sandwich for thirteen bucks. Additionally, the sandwich maker apparently does not know what and order for "moist" brisket means. Mine proved rather dry.

He says this happened last week too. Same store different pump number. So I ask for help. Can you give me a credit. His response, "no because it's your fault." "You shouldn't have left the pump". "W cannot take a loss just because you left the pump to come in here." Obviously this is a known issue at this store and the manger chose not to help the customer.

You can pay for gas at the pumps (I assume you can everywhere now?). There is a Wendy's attached. Staff was very helpful! My bf &I were talked by about what we wanted and a clerk was walking by and pointed us in right direction even without us asking for help! Cashier was friendly & polite. As for the bathrooms, I think they were as clean as public restrooms could be. Of course it was 11am and day not half over but I've seen a lot of public restrooms unfortunately and this was one of the cleanest. Would I visit again? I just wish every convenience store was exactly like this. Yes, I would patronize this store if ever in the area again!
