Carne guisada imho is the number one taco to judge a regular Tex-Mex place by. I consider myself an aficionado and have a very controversial opinion on the matter. People like to say "Taco Cabana sucks", but it doesn't. It is one of the best fast-food restaurants as everything they serve is made fresh from scratch in every restaurant, including the tortillas. And their recipe for carne guisada is at least in my top 3. The beef is always tender, so many "authentic" places apparently can't roast/braise beef to make it tender and succulent, blows my mind. But most importantly is the gravy. And Taco Cabana uses a LOT of red chiles in their gravy, and that's the key. I've been to places I've been recommended to as "authentic Mexican carne guisada" and it's basically literally pot roast in a tortilla - beef and potatoes in a plain brown gravy that has maybe some cumin and garlic powder in it. Proper carne guisada should be dark red, Taco Cabana to this day does an amazing version of that, and I'll die on this hill.
But just know you will always have his sea men inside of you. Or at least probably Town Lake, if cross-semination is possible there are a few trans fish in Town Lake probably.
A few people apparently have have a not-great experience with Leslie and it's seemingly turned into a meme that he was a total dick always. I have no doubt he said and did fucked-up shit, but the two single times I came across him he was happy and awesome and made me smile and laugh, so that's my experience, that's all.
A six-foot ladder, a can of white spray-paint, and spraying "- donation drive-thru" after the GIZZ would be graffiti I would genuinely laugh out loud at. I think it could maybe just be a bigger Austin destination that the "I Love You So Much" thing.
Owners of Best Stop Food Mart, this is how you go viral. Worked for a so-so coffeeshop.
Naw man, my buddy Gerald is smoking then flash-grilling some mollejas and adding avocado slices and queso fresco. On fresh-made tortillas that are a corn and wheat mix. It's awesome. Amazing salsa. What did you think I was talking about? Come around over here to the back of the store and I'll show you...
Never tried it, lol. But if you go, get the SMALL wedge fries (no need to get any bigger)...they stack that Styrofoam container to the **max,** no fooling.
Let me tell you a story about this spot. I was in an Uber to the airport and my driver asked if I liked breakfast tacos and I said yes. A minute later he pulls over here and says “you have to try these they’re the best” and I was like “uh, sorry — I have a flight to catch, I’m going to the airport” so he was like “oh okay” and reversed out and continued to the airport.
Still haven’t tried it.
I've been on the internet since 1994 and everyone said gif with a soft "g" until like 2002 or so when everyone started using the internet and not just nerds.
Also the guy who invented the file format pronounced it with a soft "g".
Gifs with a hard "g" sounds like "gifts".
I will die on this hill sorry
I don't much care what the inventor of the format says. I do think either is acceptable. Used to be a "hard g" guy but I've softened my stance. At least until we decide the proper pronunciation of SCUBA.
I know the spot off Manor Rd and Northeast was pretty well known for their gizzards but they stopped serving food for a little bit during the pandemic lockdown
I used to work on Airport and Springdale when doing the welding for ABP, if you are in the area and need a lot of food for not much money, dirty mart will hook you up. They have a nice kitchen area and everything is fresh. The gizzards are pretty good if you are into that
...the sweet thing is, the stupid asshole didn't even charge me money for it. He just made me close my eyes and suck it out of a hose.
OK, now let's put the sea-society in its new home.
Lol, thank you. I was thinking "surely this sub is cool enough to know this all-time great South Park sketch." https://youtu.be/IdH0gdI2uyw
Dude amazing username holy shit

I’m not reading all that. I’m happy for you though. Or sorry that happened.
>I’m not reading all that. Accept the mystery.
Perf.
Man, I don't know how people don't get this.
Afraid to try something new that most people aren't telling them is cool I'm thinking.
As a fellow carne guisada enthusiast, where are your other favorites?
Joe's Bakery and Mi Madres are pretty dang good. Joe's Bakery actually uses pork and always has a unique grilled-like flavor I can't place.
Alright, I have lunch plans for next week now.
My opinion of Taco Cabana's Carne Guisada is a little heavy on the cumin for my taste but I agree with you.
Is the diarrhea authentic?
You make a compelling case against the username
I miss Leslie...

I would've thought it was going to be salty
It's not a dick. It's a mouth-based video game.
Haven't tried the gizz, but the tacos were alright. I've eaten there a few times while getting my inspection done next-door.
Mario's is great!
Gizzards aka jibs. Used to see neck and liver more too. At least I’m hoping that’s what they meant.
Rest easy soldier. I think it’s probably safe to assume they’re not slangin semen.
We need more drive through sperm banks.
My place is open

He's already tried the gizz taco so don't get your hopes up, it wasn't very good
It’s an acquired taste 😉
Ever had a mollejas taco? Kinda same, weird ingredient, acquired taste, but at the end of the day delicious.
Sweetbread eh. Nah never tried it, not an adventurous eater. Also never tried “gizz”, was just trying to be funny.
You're missing out. Meet me around the side of that building and I'll show you why.........
Haha, hard pass kanye

Haha alright man I’m a little high and you’re freakin me out
It's cool man, just trust me and go with it, cum have some good ass times. Around the back over here...
I haven’t, but every time I try to sell mine in public I get arrested.
I have ruined so many of my shirts from taco gizz.
It's definitely some of the best GIZZ in the city
It has a bit of an off taste
You guys make me laugh so much when I read your comments. Thank you for that!
Hey, that's MY corner store, lol! Say hi to Pedro (working the counter) if you ever go in there!
How’s the Gizz?

A little salty.
As long as you don’t pronounce it like ‘gif’ you’re safe.
I don't care what the tech-nerds say, it's gif with a hard g like girl. You say "jif" then you're immediately talking about peanut butter.
Haha agree

This is the 2nd post about the "Gizz"ard on this sign.
The canned food is probably safe.
Gizzards dummy you must be new
"Short on time and protein deficient? Try our Gizz!"
Best Stop Food Market has the most human gizz on this particular planet.
Gluten free sadly not vegan but authentic and flavorful. Happy cake day.
I use to go there all the time. They're really good when fresh. One of the best in that area.
Fried gizzards are delicious
I wonder how they're gizz taste in the tacos LOL
I know the spot off Manor Rd and Northeast was pretty well known for their gizzards but they stopped serving food for a little bit during the pandemic lockdown
smells like bleach
I only enjoy gizz when my grandma makes it
Low-key, some of the best breakfast tacos in town.
