Hot take: the best cheap eats are often hiding in the back of a gas station
Met this guy named Pete at a Shell station in Waco last month, he told me his family runs a taco stand out of the store's back room every Friday night. He handed me two barbacoa tacos for $3.50 and they were legitimately better than anything I've had at a sit-down spot. Anybody else got a hidden gem like that?

Oh heck, pretty sure barbacoa is beef cheek not tongue.

Hang on, @harper_murphy, you're right that barbacoa is beef cheek, but that doesn't make those tacos any less amazing. A good taco is a good taco no matter what cut of meat is in it. People get too hung up on labels and forget that a $3.50 plate of food that tastes like it came from a five star kitchen is a win every time. The whole point of hidden gems like Pete's spot is that they don't follow the rules, so calling out the meat type kinda misses the bigger picture.
