At the gas station, biscuits, tortillas—and community
Heavily spiced pork steams at the ready on a serving line in the back of a Capital Boulevard BP. Still, tacos take time—a few worthwhile minutes for Eva Martinez to form fresh dough with the palm of her hand. Tortillas are generally grilled to order at La Cabana Taqueria, per the demand of a steady line of customers. People arrive as early as 5:30 a.m. for tacos with eggs and chicharrón, or come late: The grill doesn't close until at least 10:30 p.m.Image credit: Photo by Kate Medley
