    Purple Pit Stop location.

    Local shop that cooks an amazing burger. I hear that all the food is great but I can't help but order a burger at every visit!

    Amazing food, great service and beautiful location. Definitely a great spot for a quick bite

    Tuesday taco dog meal

    This was my first time visiting, but I'd been wanting to try it for a while. We came by around 2pm on a Tuesday and were greeted right away by a super polite woman at the window who took our order. We got the Tuesday taco dog meal, a double cheeseburger meal, a 4-piece chicken tender meal, and a kids cheeseburger meal. She told us it would take about 10 minutes since everything is made to order, which we didn't mind at all. There are picnic tables outside with all the condiments you need if you want to eat there, or you can take your food to go. The fans were a little loud, but they kept the area nice and cool. The food was pretty good, and the portions were generous. I'd definitely try this place again next time I'm in the area. If you're nearby, give it a shot!

    I happened upon a really cute little gem hole in the wall called the The purple pit stop in Polk City, FL. Service was excellent with lots of smiles. This was one of the best BPTs I've had and I've had many. Served on a very large toasted bun with super fresh veggies (I like mine all the way) and perfectly breaded and seasoned (might be a little light on the seasoning for some) and was crispy outside, tender and juicy inside..."signature" seasoned fries were spot on. $11.75 with fries and I added homemade Cole slaw for $3. I honestly don't know what a 10/10 BPT would be, so I'll just say it was Excellent!

    Great roadside pitstop, outside eating only (with great fans in the hot season). Burgers are large and tasty. They do breakfast Fri & Sat. They also have had birria tacos, shrimp but we have to have their great burgers when we go! Great prices, friendly staff. They began as a food truck "Rolling Gourmet". Hours seem to differ between sources, google, FB page, etc. Call if you're traveling a distance.

    Wow. Just wow. That's really all I have to say! JK- I have more. Stopped here after walking a warehouse in nearby Lakeland and TBH the options were limited. We saw this pop up and saw that it had stellar reviews so we decided to drive the 10 min off I4 to it. SUCH A GOOD DECISION. Rolling up in Polk City there's not much goin' on until we turned right and saw the purple greatness that is the purple pit stop rise up in all its glory. It's a walk up counter. There's no inside seating. There's a few outside shaded picnic tables and it was BUSY (noon on a Tuesday). It took 20-30 min to get our meals (group of 6) but worth the wait! I had the birria tacos with tacos and when I say they were the best tacos I've ever had, I'm not kidding. They were served with what's essentially an au jus for your tacos. Mind blown. Try the tacos - you won't regret it. Fries were perfectly cooked with delicious seasoning. Everyone else in my group had various variations of the burgers and everyone loved there's. Can't wait to stop here again next time I'm in the area!

    A GREAT spot to stop and get some delicious food! We love taking our girls here after school for a quick bite to eat. Our favorite thing to get is the fish fry done on fridays. The fish is always so crispy and fresh. I don't have a picture of that because we devour it so fast

    Attempt to show the menu without glare... It's all great, so it really doesn't matter what you order.

    Fantastic little take-out restaurant in Polk City. It is difficult to read the menu, but everything is great, so it doesn't really matter.

    Birria tacos are amazing! This is definitely a tiny little hole in the wall, but don't let that stop you from enjoying their food.

    Taco Bus - carne asada quesadilla

    First time eating from here, or any other Taco Bus for that matter. The menu was not exhaustive and…read morepretty simplified. I ordered a carne asada burrito, the wife ordered a carne asada chimichanga and we split a carne asada quesadilla. The food was prepared "fresh" right before our eyes, and ready in a timely manner. we drove straight home, about 10 minutes away and started macking out within another 10 minutes. The foods we ordered were not greasy or falling apart. The burrito and chimichanga were actually pretty large. The quesadilla was not huge, actually a single tortilla folded over, but it had ample meat within it. I was actually surprised that the food was actually good. Not "great" for my taste buds, but it was good and I would eat from here again. Next time I order a carne asada burrito from here i plan to add some cheese and guacamole (hopefully made from fresh avocados and not the pre-made bulk crap). There is no ambiance from within a gas station convenience store, albeit was a clean store.

    This particular Taco Bus location is in a Shell gas station justvoff of Interstate 4 in Auburndale,…read moreFlorida. Taco Bus has expanded throughout this area since it started out as a single location selling food out of a bus (hence the name Taco Bus) and overall, for a quick serve type Mexican food model, Taco Bus still does a pretty good job at feeding hungry patrons. The ambiance here? Well, it is in a gas station. Overall, this is a good location of Taco Bus and a good choice if you are traveling on Interstate 4 and looking for a quick dining option.

You can tell that this is a small family operation as I saw a kid who had to be at least 10 helping out wiping tables and what not which was totally awesome as a small family place like this is the type of business where I want to give my money to! So the food now that was what's totally good as I had found it a bit unique that they gave me almost a hard shell quesadilla but as soon as I dipped it into the consommé it became soft and incredibly delicious even more so than it was before as the meat was very flavorful along with the veggies inside made for one awesome quesadilla! Quesabirria Tacos here are on point as they also were packed with flavor and just soo good definitely one of the best tacos I've had in Florida! Their horchata was also very delicious flavorful and just perfect for when I needed a sip of that delicious milky goodness! Overall this is a super legit and very yummy spot to grab some Birria so do yourself a favor and don't let it pass you by as you'll be happy you came here for some delicious Mexican food!
