Gas station tacos get a bad rap, but the ones from the 7-Eleven lab store in Dallas boast tortillas made by hand daily, plus a salsa bar with all sorts of fresh toppings. That’s just one of many things that set this 6,300-square-foot convenience store apart from all others in America (and quite possibly, the world.) This concept store also features a coffee bar, self-serve frozen yogurt, contactless pay, and more. It’s one of the most unique gas stations in Texas!
