Gorditas Don Elver Express sits in the longtime “El Burrito” spot on North Big Spring, carrying forward decades of Midland breakfast and lunch tradition under a fresh banner. From 6 AM each weekday (8 AM on Saturdays) until the early‑afternoon close at 2 PM, owner Don Elver and his team turn out warm, handmade gorditas and burritos on corn or flour tortillas—stuffed with classic fillings like asado, chile pasadocon queso, chicharrón verde, frijoles con queso, mole, nopales and picadillo, alongside crowd‑pleasers like al pastor, barbacoa and even Philly cheese‑steak. Fans of the old El Burrito will feel right at home with breakfast plates (huevos rancheros, migas, chilaquiles) and the Saturday‑only menudo special, while newcomers can sample “combo plates” that pair eggs with your choice of meat, beans and tortillas for under $12.
Beyond gorditas, the menu branches out into appetizers (fresh chips and salsa, guacamole or queso dip), hearty entrées (crispy taco plates, fajita burritos and Tex‑Mex combination platters), and a full selection of “Don Elver Omelette” and pancakes for those looking to linger over coffee and refills of fountain drinks or Mexican aguas frescas. Midday diners can also pick from plates like the guisado platter, chicken flautas, taco salads or nachos—each served with beans, rice and a simple salad garnish—making it easy to feed the family or grab a quick solo lunch.
Though the Big Spring location is the flagship, Gorditas Don Elver Express has expanded to a second branch by the Walmart at 210 W Longview Ave, so regulars have two convenient spots for a fast, flavorful bite. Whether you’re craving embossed flavors of slow‑braised barbacoa or the comforting hug of eggs and chorizo wrapped in a plump gordita, Gorditas Don Elver continues the El Burrito legacy with friendly service, authentic Mexican homestyle cooking, and hearty portions that keep Midland coming back morning after morning.
Tall City Meat Market wears two hats each week: the first is a full‑service butcher shop stocked with premium cuts, sausages and house‑made specialties; the second is its weekday lunch counter, where those very meats are transformed into hearty plates, sandwiches and tacos. From 10:30 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Saturday, the shop opens its doors to diners craving genuine Texas barbecue without the long wait. You can order beef brisket, smoked turkey, sausage links, ribs or the cheekily named “Texas Twinkies” by the pound, or dive straight into the daily specials board for plated lunches served with your choice of two sides.
Each day of the week brings its own twist on smoked‑meat goodness. On Mondays, you’ll find the “All‑Beef Burger Patty” or the bacon‑and‑cheddar‑topped brisket patty, plus up to four different smoked‑meat plates if you’re feeling extra hungry. Tuesdays are “Taco Tuesdays,” featuring either smoked ribeye or chopped brisket tucked into tortillas and brightened with green sauce and queso fresco. Midweek, Wednesday and Saturday double down on barbecue plates—build your own combination of one to four meats, each plate coming piled high alongside your pick of classics like potato salad or pintos. Thursdays spotlight a bone‑in, double‑cut smoked pork chop plate (also available as up to four‑meat plates), while Fridays unload “huge‑loaded” baked potatoes crowned with ribeye or brisket for an entirely different take on comfort food.
On Thursday evenings from 4 PM to 8 PM, the market shifts into “dinner service,” extending its lunch‑style lineup into the early evening and giving out‑of‑town commuters just enough time to swing by on their way home. Whether you’re picking up a rich, cheesy nacho platter heaped with chopped brisket or grabbing a couple of brisket sandwiches for the road, the Thursday dinner counter offers the same selection of smoked meats and sides—just lit up under warmer lights and in a slightly more relaxed, sit‑and‑stay‑awhile atmosphere. Between its top‑shelf butcher counter, daily specials, and once‑weekly dinner service, Tall City Meat Market has become a go‑to spot in Midland for anyone who takes their barbecue (and their lunchtime variety) seriously.
