Food was good but a little disappointed that a plate of 2 tacos was $14 and didn't come with any rice or beans. I get that they are fillers but who in their right mind would order 4 small tacos for $30 to get full, in Texas, in basically a border town to Mexico?!?!? Was interested in trying the paella but didn't get a chance to. The queso and the pâtè toast were decent and not unreasonably priced.

This place is gorgeous and comfortable and fabulous and so much fun with all the little details I kind of don't want to tell anyone about it.

This is a gem of a place. The pork/chicken taco and beef salad were perfectly done, but the kinilaw (which is a Tagalog word for pickled anything) is even better. I give it an "A' for outdoor seating and customer service. The menu is eclectic and unexpected but the food hits the spot.

The best food we had in Marfa! The service was awesome and they had cute outdoor seating as well :-)

Phenomenal! We stopped in for a quick bite and we were both blown away. I ordered the kinilaw which honestly was the best ceviche I’ve ever tasted. Typically it is served by itself but I ordered some tortilla chips which were served dusted with a tajin-type mix and sea salt. My partner ordered one of the rice plates (photographed) which had him silent from enjoyment during our meal. Decor was wonderful, a dreamy ambiance with the vines shading our table. We will definitely come back

Great little pet friendly bistro. They are having a pop up chef event. Great special event menu and very nice wines.

We sat down as a family and waited over 20 minutes and nobody even acknowledged we were sitting there. The waiter walked by 3 times and glanced over without saying a word. How does this place have such high reviews with such horrible customer service. Was my family not "marfa trendy" enough to be served? Maybe we just didnt fit into the local crowd and weren't worthy of your fine establishment.

Excellent dinner and great atmosphere. Lots of outdoor seating and COVID safe. The beet salad was a bit heavier than we like, but the soup of the day (chicken) was bomb.Get the pork tacos! I almost went back for a second order of them.

Braised short rib, smoked chicken, and beet salad. AMAZING!

This place is AMAZING! The food was amazing and even the more complicated dishes came out quickly. All of the staff were overly polite and generous. The atmosphere is amazing. If you're in town, it's the best decision you'll make all day.
We tried a couple of places full with reservations before coming here, and we're glad we ended up here! Food was amazing, everything was perfect. Next time we're in Marfa we're coming here first!

What a gem. Seriously. I know I haven’t been anywhere in over a year, but this place is amazing. The vibe, the music, the staff, the food. Just, one of the most charming places I’ve ever been to, even before being confined to our couch. The owner was so incredibly nice. He even brought a birthday cake to my husband. The pulled pork tacos were some of the best tacos I’ve ever tasted. Yes yes that’s a very big statement, but I stand by it. We had some super tasty wine and a meat and cheese board that looked like art and tasted like delicious food, as it should be. The aesthetic of the place and the music just blend perfectly with the food and I can’t say enough incredible things about this place. Go take a look! Have a glass of wine and some tacos! It’ll be a really nice day.

Great neighborhood spot off the beaten path. Walk up to the counter, they give you a number and then you find a table. Good mix of outside sitting and open air screened in porch seating. Songs can have a lot of cussing so likely not kid friendly but didn’t bother us.

Went here based on the reviews and was not disappointed. Tried the AC board, albeit it was definitely on the pricier end, the presentation and the flavor of all the different items were great. The short rib over cheese grits(?), it was the special for the day item, was absolutely phenomenal! The meat was super soft and tender, slipped right off the bone and full of flavor. The cheese grits underneath was subtle enough that it didn't overbear the ribs, again paired together it was just delicious. It needs to be added as a permanent item on the menu. Definitely an interesting spot and worth stopping by if your visiting or passing through Marfa.

Wonderful food, wonderful people. Due to daylight savings we showed up almost an hour before they were to open. Even though they were still setting up they treated us like family. Queso was a great start to the meal. We also ordered pulled pork tacos, and chicken soup. All delicious. Great atmosphere to the place with outdoor park bench seating. Order at the kitchen window and they'll bring out the food. Felt so comfortable we thought about staying and drinking until dinner. Definitely worth a visit.
