Absolutely the worse experience ever. Waited for menu for 15 minutes. Then waited another 15 minutes and left. Especially when the table next to us said there entire meal was cold. As we were walking out the waitress was sitting with some customers like no sense of her job was needed. How does a place like this stay in business???

The 2 of us sat down pretty quick, even ordered fairly quickly, but it took over a half hour to get a chicken burrito and chicken chalupas. Crow the waiter was nice, probably too nice because he spent a lot of time talking to other customers and maybe forgot our food, because it was barely warm when we got it.

Wow. The staff are horrible. I was nicely sitting in the patio waiting for a menu. After about 15 minutes of being ignored by the server, two more couples walk in and get sat immediately with menus and waters… I decided to stick my head in to get a menu and just make sure the server had seen me outside on the patio… instead of being handed a menu with a kind “I’m a little swamped but I’ll be right with you. Here’s a menu” .. instead this insane white lady scolds me loudly and rudely in front of three other tables. Dressing me down that she’s the only person working, she doesn’t have help, and the snidest “I’ll be with you just as fast as humanly possible” … everyone was staring at me. I was dumbfounded. All I wanted was a menu so I could wait patiently. Instead, I was rudely demeaned by the staff in front of other guests. Hope it burns down and she can’t afford her rent. Very uncalled for. Thanks

Had the steak street tacos. They were good. The server was working hard. She was a bit overwhelmed as the place was packed and people outside. The server had a fantastic personality! She made the experience.

After a long weekend at Big Bend, this was the only place open in this area. The food was very bland and re-used. The meat from the tamales tasted like soap. Not very sure how the food is being made. Very unfortunate experience. If you know tex- mex, or food in general, this isn’t it. Very upsetting.

Food was passable. The lady (in charge) who took orders was very friendly. Service was quick. The gentleman who brought out food was rude and didn't acknowledge us (yet spoke to locals). Which didn't create a nice atmosphere.

Pretty good, even with what is available. Burrito. Not breaking ground, but pretty decent.

Very disappointed with the food and service after a big hike at Big Ben. Chewy taco meat and tacos without salsa.

Lovely place! The food was great and the vibes are Tex-Mex. This was the only place open at noon in Terlingua. It's about 20 minutes from the Summit at the Bend

Decent texmex style food. Nothing fancy, but good food, served quickly. Friendly service. Had the burrito grande for breakfast once and chicken enchiladas another visit. Would visit again.

Stopped in here about half hour before they closed my first night in town visiting Big Bend and got the al pastor tacos- they were so good that I came back for them again two nights later. The staff was also super friendly both times I was there and didn't rush me out even though I stayed right up until they closed both times.

Decent value for the money, waiter disappeared at the end. It took me walking to the kitchen to get them. Tamales were a little dry but overall good. They tasted fresh and homemade.

Had a tasty breakfast. Bless their hearts - they were definitely understaffed. Everyone took it in stride and servers were friendly despite running themselves ragged. This was a weekday mid-morning... Can't imagine what weekends are like. But if you aren't in a hurry, I did enjoy the migas.
