Tampa Bay Gas Stations With The Best Snacks

Whether you’re on a long road trip or fighting a growling stomach around town, gas stations are perfect for a midday snack. If you hit the wrong spot, you’ll be left with the snicklefritz snacks that probably expired last year. Here are the gas stations with the best snacks across Tampa Bay.

First, let’s define ‘snacks’. We’re talking a combo of drinks, candy, crunchy stuff, sweets, and some full meal options. Sometimes you just need a bag of Sour Patch Kids and an energy drink to get you through the rest of the day. Or sometimes, you’re looking to kill two birds with one stone and get the gas and meal combo.

If a gas station has pizza, Nerd Clusters, protein snacks, and Jerky, it's a go. Everything else is an added bonus. My personal favorite and consistent #1 choice is 7-Eleven. 

In Tampa, the 7-Eleven at 2717 W Hillsborough Ave is open 24 hours and has a Loredo Taco attached to it. You’ve got aisles of snack foods, candy, and hot n’ ready food options you’d traditionally see with the bonus of Laredo’s Tacos.

You really can't go wrong with most 7-Eleven stores, but I’d stand clear of the one off of Dale Mabry HWY. There are always a couple of transients that will do anything for a buck and the snack selection is subpar.

Another option you can always count on is RaceTrac. RaceTrac has your traditional snacks like candy, chips, and drinks, but goes one step further. They have hot pizza, breakfast sandwiches, sandwiches, salads, roller grill hot foods, pastries, donuts, and Swirl World.

SwirlWorld is stacked with ice cream, frozen yogurt, Italian ice, and a wide variety of toppings. This is the perfect snack for a Florida summer day and is why RaceTrac is one of the gas stations with the best snacks.

The RaceTrac at 1201 E Bay Drive in Largo claims a 4.1-star rating on Google. This specific RaceTrac always has clean bathrooms and always has stocked shelves full of snacks. The best part? Self-checkout with bags for when you’re in a hurry.

Last, but not least, Circle K. Many of the new Circle K locations have updated facilities that are much cleaner than their stores of the past. They have aisles of snacks, hot foods, donuts, and sandwiches. Their burgers are wrapped in foil so you just know they’re nice and juicy.

Located in Pinellas Park, the Circle K at 110701 49th St N is always stacked and has a 3.9-star rating on Google. It was freshly built back in 2021 and is one of the easiest gas stations to get in and out to ensure a quick transaction.

7-Eleven, RaceTrac, and Circle K are just a few of the gas stations with the best snacks. As long as the food is hot, aisles are stacked and options are available, these gas stations will always be a go-to.

Want to celebrate National Burrito Day at one by finding some of the best burritos in Tampa? We've got some great suggestions.

Each year Mexican food lovers celebrate their love for these deliciously stuffed tortillas on the first Thursday in April. So it's right around the corner. It's happening on April 4 this year.

We've seen burritos have somewhat of an evolution. The OG Mexican burrito is going to be largely stuffed with meat and beans. But obviously, burritos aren't just a Mexican thing. Their popularity has spread around the world, and we can find them everywhere. We certainly love burritos in America and specifically, Tampa has some great spots. We'll get into those in just a moment.

But first, a little more history about the burrito. Some burrito fun facts, if you will. We've only been able to enjoy burritos in the United States since the 1930s. What's a world like without burritos??? What did the ladies and gents do in the roaring in twenties do without burritos?

There's one spot that I wanted to put on the list for their creativity and because I'm a major sushi lover. Technically, they serve burritos. But I couldn't quite fit Zukku on the list. They are located at 1910 N Ola Avenue in Tampa Heights.

You can actually build your own sushi burrito here. Spicy and spicy mayo a tortilla? Delicious!

Though Zukku didn't make this list, I think you'll enjoy our selections. And while vibes and atmosphere are important when selecting dining spots, we really focused on who could deliver the most quality...the absolute best burrito.

So celebrate your love for the best burritos in Tampa. Check out our list below with some of the most incredible places. Enjoy your burrito and sip a Dos Equis or a Margarita.

Taco Son's burritos are to die for. THIS is where you will find real, authentic Mexican food.

Gotta go with a chain here, and Moe's is the best. They're ingredients always taste so fresh.

Green Lemon has amazing food, top to bottom. And this includes their burritos. Freshest ingredients and tangy zippy sauces to top it off.

Not only are the burritos the bomb, the ambiance is clutch. And an extra bonus...they have some of the best street corn in town. Besito is a Tampa Mexican bucket list spot.

Miguel's is a Tampa staple and is one of the go-to places for some classic Mexican food. They've been serving Tampa for over 20 years. We love the grilled fajita and pork burrito. Try it yourself at 3035 W. Kennedy Blvd.
