Number Two Son’s sweet wife Jenny told us about Fuel City Tacos sometime ago.  It seems that regularly someone from the hospital will make a “taco run” to Fuel City for their famous tacos, and she proclaimed them, “very good.”

More than once we missed the exit to get to this fueling station/taco stand.  Oh, we could see it from I35, but we were past the exit.  On this day, Ever-Lovin’ and I had it figured out.  Right after we crossed over the beautiful new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, we exited on Riverfront, and there we were with a bazillion other people who needed gas, were getting their car or trucks washed, or most importantly liked tacos.

This is NOT a restaurant.  There is no inside dining.  You walk up to the window and order your tacos.  They only accept cash, but there is an ATM inside.  Then you stand around for a short wait for your tacos.

Customers were in a fun and playful mood.  They knew they were going be eating some very tasty tacos.

There is a patio area where you can sit on benches and eat your tacos.  I do not recommend trying to eat Fuel City Tacos in your car.  I do believe that would be a recipe for disaster.

When you sit on the patio, you have one of the best view of downtown Dallas.  Amazing!

While waiting for our tacos, I took a few more pictures.  This statue is pretty impressive.  There are more statues inside and even some mounted animals.  (Yes, it was a little like a natural science museum.)  Strange but true!

You buy your drinks inside the fueling station.  There is also another window for ordering tacos inside the building.

These were our tacos – fajita/onion and sausage/egg.  The tacos are tiny.  That container is a sandwich container.  We needed to buy more than one taco each.  That was the only downside to these tacos.  I could have eater at least one more.  They were delicious.  (You can order corn or flour tortillas.)  D Magazine proclaims eating tacos at Fuel City is something every Dallasite should do and calls them the “holy grail” of tacos.  Fuel City Tacos do have a reputation.  I so wish we had ordered more tacos.  I will just have to go back.

On the sidewalk in front of Fuel City was this cart.  The nice lady was selling corn.  I was curious.  Then I watched a man order the corn.  She put crisp kernels of corn in a cup.  Then she added sour cream, Mexican crema, hot sauce, and a crumbly cheese.  Then she added another layer of the same ingredients.  Okay.  Breakfast tacos were a little skimpy.  I decided to go for some corn.

Sweet Mother of Pearl.  I liked it.  I loved it.  Highly recommended!  It is rather spicy, so let her know how spicy you want it.

This was a fantastic way to begin our road trip.  We hadn’t even driven out of Dallas, and I had something to share with you.  I do like the T-shirt.

Blessings to you and yours,

By the Way:  Fuel City Tacos is open 24 hours a day.
