R&R Deli -- Great Takeout Takes From An Elkridge Gas Station
Tried this place the other day after reading about it on HowChow's blog. I don't have a huge comparison base of other tacos in the area but I thought the tacos here were great, especially the al pastor.
It was a little strange to get tacos from a gas station, but this is a completely separate establishment within the gas station (separate entrance, glass wall between it and the actual gas station) and the kitchen is out in the open and looked well run. The gentleman who was at the cash register was very friendly and offered suggestions about what to try.
Good food in an unexpected location.

As all others have noted, excellent fried chicken.
I tried the catfish tenders and I think that the flavor of the thinner strips of fish was overwhelmed by the breading. I would bet that the full fillet's fare better.
Also, I wanted to mention the buffalo wings. These are the same wings that they serve without sauce, just tossed in buffalo sauce. As far as the wings themselves go, the wings are the best that I've ever had. Great quality meat with plenty on the bones, and the light breading goes great with them. The only problem I had is that they only have one sauce that they use, and unfortunately it is about one step too spicy for me. I've tried them twice because they were so good, but both times they have been just too hot. If you like pretty spicy wings (I would put the heat above the "Hot" flavor at buffalo wing places like Buffalo Wild Wings) then these are exceptional buffalo wings.
