Gems of Pescadero, Pt. I: Gas Station Tacos
We went out to Pescadero this weekend to visit Harley Goat Farms for our Umamiventure, which was awesome- but more on that later. After the farms, Thien and I went through Pescadero- he had heard of some tacos inside a gas station that he heard were awesome. You’ll see the gas station off the main road- not a taqueria in sight, right? Walk inside and think again!
Their menu consisted of all the usuals: tacos, burritos, quesadillas. But they had all these specials too.
Requisite chips and salsa bar.
We got four tacos: choriza, carne asada, carnitas and LENGUA! (Beef tongue).
It’s kinda creepy looking up close like this but this was delicious. The tongue was cut up into cubes (I had never had them like this before) and was super soft and mouth-melty.
