Waste of time

Drove hundreds of miles across Texas, spent hours in lines, spent a small fortune on bbq only to have the app log me out and delete all of my stamps

Needs Updating

This app needs an update. Not sure it’s keeping up with the places Daniel Vaughn has reviewed recently.

Texas Monthly should also consider creating a Taco Finder based on José R. Ralat reviews
