A restaurant in a gas station in Marfa for Mexican chow? Why yes, please.
First things first: Tony Bourdain ate one of his last TV episode meals here and thought it was pretty good. That's likely why you'll want to stop in while you're on your way to somewhere else that likely involves El Paso or Big Bend National Park.
We too thought it good, but no better than your standard West Texas chow that's pretty easy to find in this region including another joint called Marfa Burrito we also tried and liked. Laredo Taco Company is a small chain of restaurants based in Stripes convenience stores in the Big Bend region. No frills Tex-Mex, order at the counter, basic good home cooking, and cheap by my opinion. $5 for two burritos that served as our lunch, the barbacoa and fajita burrito. Of special note, house made white tortillas with a bit of stiffness to them, perfect for the deliver of the goodies inside.
In a small town that's no b.s. and hard working folks on the go, this is a great option for a quick, cheap meal.
If you come: credit cards accepted. It's in a gas station so park where you can and expect that kind of traffic and surroundings. Wouldn't expect to be bowled over just because Bourdain ate here. These places are all over the region. Your job is to find the next one, but in the meantime, this will do just fine. read more
