    Guisado!
    Amigo K.

    Simply put, this is a "working class" Tex-Mex style eatery supported by local day workers. On Saturdays, the fresh made Menudo brings adults seeking the homemade flavor. The owner is making money here, but not enough to re-invest into the humble kitchen and dining room. I have spent my money here to support them, and given them media support via Google Maps. The chilaquiles breakfast plate is great. I also had the Gorditas, and the (pork) Guisado plates. WARNING: The green salsa is hotter than the red salsa LOL, and the red is Hot! The small amount of beans & rice is disappointing, considering food cost. Maybe they don't want to run-out? I always order "all beans" no rice. Bottom Line: Real food, a bit gritty at times. Fried items can be a bit oily. The flavor is like humble home cooking. Spicy? Yes. Very. No Drive Thru. The parking lot is small & crazy during lunch hours. Feeling adventurous?

    In a pinch, when Mexican food is desired and you need it now...like right meow - look no further! This place serves up hot, fresh Mexican food on the cheap. We've ordered a variety of dishes here: gorditas, sopas, burritos, flautas, and breakfast. It's not fancy food but when the establishment is in the same building as a gas station you can't expect it to be. I like that it's local, the women who run the place are friendly and fast, and it's verrrry inexpensive. I love chilaquiles but I hate spending upwards of $15 for them at hot, new brunch spots where I've had to wait over an hour to be seated, and all you get are the chilaquiles themselves and a stuffy, impatient hipster waiter (this place at least serves them with a heaping portion of eggs, beans, and potatoes or rice all for $7.50). I'm sure there are a million places near us just like this and maybe the food quality is better but like I said

    Six tacos.  Two carne Asada, two pollo, and two pastor.  They are all stuffed!

    The street tacos are great. Don't let the outside fool you. The tacos are very authentic and stuffed quite nicely. For 1.69 a piece, you can't go wrong!

    Twisted Trompo - Chicken quesadilla

    Always hit the spot. Highly recommend. Good deals. Attached to gas station but it's a vibe here…read more Has some outdoor seating.

    Don't let those gas pumps outside fool you!…read more I once again found myself in Rowlett visiting friends and this was the first place Jerry took me for lunch. When he said these were the best gas station tacos he wasn't lying! Open 24/7, Twisted Trompo is a gas station Mexican restaurant that specializes in Mexican street style tacos. They share the same building with the Chevron convenient store which takes up a third of the building. Right outside are the gas pumps. The interior is nicely decorated with bright color, nice booths, tables and chairs. What draws your attention right away are the large plexiglass window openings that show off their state of the art. You'll also notice the large pieces of meat standing vertically on large skewers. In the context of Mexican cuisine, trompo refers to a vertical rotisserie. Meat is skewered and turned slowly as it cooks with the outer layers being shaved off for orders. Their tacos are made from scratch with their authentic Mexican marinade. They also serve breakfast items, quesadillas, tortas, burritos, a salad and a variety of snacks. Menu choices were simple with many combo options. I had to try their trompo meat so I ordered the 3 taco combo. You also get a large cup of mexican rice and refried beans. The rice was nicely flavored with some peas. Yom Yom Yom. The refried beans were also nicely cooked. The made from scratch street style taco flour tortillas complemented the heroes on my tray. The chicken was on par, but the steak and barbacoa were outstanding! The single thin slice of steak was succulent and juicy. Dressed with the fresh onions, cilantro and some of their green hot sauce... Yom Yom Yom Yom! The shredded pieces of the barbacoa were seasoned perfectly and again, wrapped in the tortilla, garnished with onions, cilantro,.. Yom Yom Yom Yom! Even Nick's lengua (beef tongue) was tender and flavorful. So don't let this gas station restaurant fool you. Some of the best food are found in hole-in-the-walls. This was no exception. It reminds me of the humble beginnings of Hoover's Blue Pacific. It's too bad Twisted Trompo isn't here. What a great place to find great food 24/7!
