Finally found a $6 banh mi at a gas station off I-35 that beats my old $12 spot
For about 2 years I figured the only decent cheap lunch near my shop in Waco was the taco truck by the tire place, and I thought I had the whole under-$10 game figured out. Then a customer mentioned this little gas station market on the frontage road, and I grabbed a grilled pork banh mi there for $6.25 that honestly blew the $12 version I'd been eating out of the water. So where's everyone else finding their best hole-in-the-wall cheap eats, the kind that makes you wonder why you ever paid double?

Doubt the gas station banh mi is actually better, just cheaper. Half the time those places are riding on one good cook who quits after six months, then you're stuck with dry pork and stale bread. A $12 spot usually stays consistent because they can afford real staff and decent ingredients. You got lucky once and now you're ready to call it a win. Give it a year of visits before you write off the place that never let you down.
