“2nd visit: Returned a second time, after visiting Big Bend and ordered something totally different. The fried mushrooms and the green chile burritos hit the spot. The food came out piping hot and the burritos were spicy-hot. When in Marathon, this will be our go-to stop. The people are also super nice :)1st visit: For a convenience store restaurant, this place was very clean. The tostadas and tacos (ground beef) were delicious.“
“We stopped here for lunch while driving through Marathon. My hot turkey sandwich (more like a turnover) was decent. Swiss cheese inside (instead of, say, provolone) wasn’t my favorite, but that’s a matter of taste. It also had grilled mushrooms. My husband reported that his fried chicken sandwich was good, but it had only a tiny smear (about a teaspoon’s worth) of mayo on it. When he asked for more, the server reported that they’d just run out. (Of mayo?? In fairness, I think the nearest grocery store is in Alpine.) We had arrived at 11:30 am, so the lunch “rush” (if any) had yet to happen. We might have done better with their burgers or Mexican food dishes, which is what I’d try if I go back.Parking: Lots of free parking, but mostly across the street. No dedicated parking lot.Kid-friendliness: It seems family friendly, although there were no kids there during our visit. The main dining room is a bit small, but the larger side dining room would accommodate family groups.“
