"Chai Taco is located inside the gas station on the corner of Kuykendahl Gosling near 2920--Windrose area. It's an appealing concept that fell a little short on expectations but...it's a fairly new place with room to grow. I first noticed it from the banner hanging outside. I tried go yelp it lo no photos so here is my contribution for anyone curious about an indian-mexican mash up. First: the price is on par with a typical gas station eatery $2-5 meals 2nd: for a fusion based concept...not bad, also not great. Definitely recommend sticking to the actual fusion faves: tika or butter chicken tacos. I personally enjoy tika masala so that's what I ordered. I also got a fajita beef quesadilla curious as to what the flavor profile would be. Unfortunately...it was an extremely basic quesadilla with minimal seasoning too much cheese. A bit of chaluloa fixed it nicely and it was warm toasty but waaaay too bland. As for the tika taco...it had decent flavor and a nice cilantro cream sauce to top it off however much like the quesadilla which is meant to have cheese, this too had an overly generous portion if shredded cheese. I am a huge fan of many area taco trucks can vouch that this would hands down have tasted better with just literally some kind of vegetable..a bit of cilantro lime. The taste had that curry zing which for anyone who's never tried it before it was a pleasant surprise (shared with my coworkers to get their feedback). I think personally because I enjoy the wet soppiness of actual curry that was my expectation of what might be in this taco it fell short for me, that isn't to say it was bad...just not what I expected.Finally the samosa was pretty large coming in at the $1.45 price tag. It had a bit too much potato and tumeric/fennel seasoning was a bit overwhelming, but again for someone new to Indian cuisine it was tasty enough. Overall a decent place to trial something unique. Service was quick friendly. And anyone who is weary of gas station food this place is exceptionally clean--so be bold! Try it!Room for growth or personal suggestions:1. Offer more sides or vegetable based options being that this us an Indian-Mexican fusion the only side options were samosa ...fries?2. Punch up the flavor on your beef products. I got the quesadilla for myself the beef taco went to a co-worker the assessment was the same: bland. Whether you go Mexican or Indian with the profile it needs more flavor guys3. Less cheese! Cheese is a tex-mex thing. This is such a cool concept that you could do SO much with. I like Tarkas fast-casual indian concept. They have pretty decent grilled veggies on the side. THAT would complement your tacos better than cheese."

The food was amazing, and the staff were very friendly. The samosa with the sauce was heavenly, and I’ve decided that the butter chicken quesadilla will be my special treat on Thursdays.

Simply AMAZING. I feel revitalized. Throughout my life, I’ve never truly experienced “flavor,” but after ordering from Chai Taco, I can definitely say I now understand what flavor really is. #WorthIt

Tried it for the first time today. Chicken Tikka Quesedilla ? was really good but Bun Kabab ? was superb ?, the flavor was authentic and Chutney was very well balanced. Will definitely go there again. View menu

Good tasting freshly prepared food! A pleasant surprise to find in a gas station. I ordered chicken tikka paratha roll and masala fries. Both were tasty and freshly prepared. Will come back and try other items.

I got the bun Kebab, I didn't know what it was and I still don't. It was tasty though. Moderately spicy and really tender. I'm not sure what the meat was or if it was vegetarian, but I would order it again. The fries were soggy but that always happens when they get put in a styrofoam container, had I eaten there they probably would not have been. Giving 4 stars because that's the only dish I've tried, I'll have to come back a few more times to get a better feel. The service was great, very friendly and fast.
