I get the feeling people are missing this place because it's not in a spot with natural foot traffic. But if you see this review, I promise you won't regret having lunch here. Probably the best torta I ever had. The bread was out of this world, as well as the steak and the sauces. 1000% recommended. Lovely lady running the place too.

I can’t really say this place defied expectations given the name, setting and reviews but I wasn’t blown away by my torta. Not bad, but not notable and not especially cheap considering it’s a food truck. Everything else people ordered looked much better. Service was great and they have abundant seating and parking.

Absolutely incredible tacos. Went with the birria and carnitas. And then went with the birria and carnitas again. Obviously.

This is a fantastic little streetside restaurant. Built from a shipping container with an open air patio covered by a pole shed. It's 2 lots off the main drag in downtown Marfa. We had steak quesadillas, Carnitas and birra tacos. All well seasoned, fresh and delicious.

The food? Insanely good. Super authentic. We devoured mini steak tacos and cheesy quesadillas wrapped in homemade tortillas that tasted straight out of abuelita’s kitchen. A fresh fruit cup hit the sweet spot, and nothing beats washing it all down with an ice-cold real Coke. We kicked back on the benches, soaking in good vibes and even better people. Pure magic.

This place is the real deal and I would highly recommend an early visit on a trip to Marfa — you may want to go twice!

The carnitas tacos were out of this world, and I’m generally a pretty harsh critic.

I was worried the reviews were fake since they were all so good and there were so few, but this place is really great! The horchata is amazing, the rice and beans are amazing! They have several picnic tables to sit at. Hours are unclear but they were open when we arrive at 1:20pm on Sunday.
