“Stopped because I needed to take a DOT mandatory 30-minute break from driving DOT mandates a 30-minute break between the 6th and 8th hour of consecutive driving, to prevent driver fatigue.Walked into the store to grab a cup of coffee and was surprised to find a wide variety of freshly made tacos, sausage, and bacon biscuits as well as some kolaches.The tacos were respectfully big and priced at only 2 for $4.00. I got two - Potato, egg, and Bacon tacos. I was flabbergasted by the quality and taste of the #GasStationTacos.I would definitely recommend this store for anyone traveling down on Southbound US 281, thru Premont, TX during Breakfast hours as a place to pick up a quick and delicious taco.”
