Fuel City

Cuisine: Restaurants

Neighborhood: Downtown/Deep Ellum

801 S. Riverfront Blvd., TX, 75207 Map It
214-426-0011

Much talked about taco stand in a gas station/convenience store should be experienced by everyone at least once-preferably at 2 or 3 in the morning. No seats, so you stand by your car and eat some of the better (when the meat is just off the grill) tacos around.
