Un Taco Mass — Restaurant in Temple

The best tacos in Temple! I was a little doubtful about whether the place would be good or not since it's in a gas station, but I was very pleasantly surprised! I was greeted quickly and with a warm smile. It took me awhile to decide what I wanted because they have a lot of offerings, but I wound up getting my usual: a plate of street tacos.

They've been there for three years and I'm sad that I haven't been here sooner. I will be back to try the quesabirria...

The restaurant is located inside an Exxon convenience store. A mix match of tables and chairs. Drinks are purchased from the convenience store. This restaurant might be more appropriate for the more adventurous. No white table cloths. But you...

Un Taco Mass is a hidden gem inside a gas station in Temple. It was hard to choose among so many tasty options, but we finally went with the quesabirria plates. The food was delicious, with a very authentic Mexican flavor—tender, flavorful meat and generous portions. Drinks are served through the gas station’s convenience store, which is part of its laid-back charm. Prices were fair for the quality and quantity you get. Overall, a great spot for real Mexican street food in an...
