Read MoreI was passing by during the wee hours of morning, and was drawn in when I realized I could get actual food prepared for me. Upon entering, I was greeted by an especially cheerful and kind employee who was taking great care as he was cleaning.
My first stop was the restroom, which was immaculate, simply decorated, and fully functional. What an amazing discovery for a gas station bathroom!
I then wandered through the aisles, surprised to discover a full-service butcher counter that had been carefully tended and under wraps for the night. I imagined myself as a customer, there during normal business hours to buy, as the sign overhead said, "quality meat".
Walking toward the counter to order a burrito, I thanked the guy working for such an immaculate bathroom. He said it was as important for the ladies working the restaurant as it was for me and other customers to have a clean restroom. I loved his reply!
The two women behind the mini-diner counter were busily preparing for the upcoming morning commute rush, and quickly made for me one of the very best al pastor burritos I've ever had. Complete with all the fixings (roasted whole peppers, a wedge of fresh avocado, fresh lime, salsa and some napkins.
I paid for my wee-hours breakfast, carbonated cold caffeine, and a sweet snack for later, and once again complimented the clerk for being part of such a welcoming, friendly and clean place to stop on my journey of over a thousand miles.
There were plenty of tables for dining, both inside and out, but I chose to return to my car to enjoy my burrito. It was absolutely delicious, and big enough that I couldn't eat the entire thing in one go.
Once back on the road again, I promised myself I'd be back, and then did actually stop here on my way back home about a week later. I had discovered a true gem of a small market, taqueria, and gas station.
This place is a worthy stop!
