"Villa Mexico founder Julie King has been running her lauded taqueria for over 20 years. While cooking out of a gas station years ago, King gained a following for gas station burritos and ink-hued salsa negra, which is available to take home by the jar. The grilled burritos, served for breakfast and lunch, are a must-order." - Nathan Tavares, Eater Staff
