Usually, you should avoid gas station food at all costs. But if the station in question houses a small kitchen with just enough room for a cook and a cashier, you might find that they put out some of the best tacos in town. Taco-Miendo, tucked away in a Chevron on Parmer Lane, is one of those joints. Serving up a variety of tacos – including, of course, breakfast tacos – all on homemade corn tortillas, Taco-Miendo is a great place to stop in for a bite whether or not you need to fill up your tank.
