    Europe has truck stops too.

    I went to one in Ireland where they sold Irish coffee and it was sublime.

          That’s just a stop. You usually see this of the side of the highway after an exit, and there will be a few other food options and gas stations available.

      Not fair the Pacifica location is the Taj Mahal of Taco Bell.

      Linda Mar taco bell is a whole different level. Where else can you surf a usually barely decent often closing out wave with various degrees of nasty runoff from the parking lot, 10,000 kooks, and great whites, and then take a break on a cold norcal beach drinking a boozy Baja blast freeze?

      (As I type all that out I realize it doesnt sound great but honestly Linda Mar can sometimes be totally heaven on earth)

    Everyone keeps thinking this is a highway stop. Yeah no. Thats not a highway. I am pretty sure that is just a tacobell at the edge of a farm town.

    So yeah apparently it couldn’t be comprehended.

      Those exist here, too. The US is a very big place (your whole country is the size of a small state) with a ton of truck stops, there’s bound to be crappy ones especially in the middle of nowhere.

      Not sure that’s a truck stop in the photo, though. Looks like a fast food/gas pit stop for general travelers.

        I used to eat it more often than I should, then at some point it got more expensive than just going to locally owned actual Mexican restaurants. So now I just do that. The food is way better, cheaper, and you get more food. And it feels good to support local rather than some enormous publicly traded corporation

        crunchwrap, nacho fries. they got my number. granted I have not eaten fast food in years. when it was a paltry amount I indulged in it to regularly but now it might as well be costingtons.

        I tend to make my own tex-mex, but there’s a place nearby that I love to go to when I’m feeling down.

        That said, sometimes when I’m out and I want something “close enough” that I can eat while driving (one hand and I can drop it without it going everywhere) I get a bean and cheese burrito with a cup of nacho cheese.
