We stopped in for breakfast this morning and we're so pleasantly surprised the parking lot was full and the place was busy. Now I know why. The food was great and the service fast and very through. We will be back! Enjoy read more

Food is basic, good and fresh. Service is good, but a little slow because the restaurant is so busy. Simply a great breakfast spot!

Folks, if you are ever near the #BigBend you have to drive through #AlpineTX - it's a cool college town, and we found a gem! #MagoosPlace! Home cooking Tex-Mex at it's best! No food photos because it was that good! read more

Magoo's Place - Cool chile pods drying in the porch. - Burgers Near Me - Alpine, Texas

Excellent breakfast. I had the Huevos Rancheros, which were excellent. The #1 was a lot of tasty food. The breakfast tacos were just okay. Service was fast but they did not refill our coffee and water. read more

Best breakfast burrito I've had in a long time. Just the right size and generously stuffed. Excellent Chile Verde as well. Hamburgers are great as well. I ate her everyday while in town for an event. Friendly staff and down- home comfort. read more

This place was amazing! We stopped here on our way home from big bend. Quick, great service, delicious food! Would recommend for sure!

Loved my experience here. Food was great, service was hustling, which was a nice change. They should def consider expanding in the drive thru slab to be a bigger kitchen and more seating. Drive-thrus are supposed to be grab and go operations. If the cashier has to tell someone to drive back through in 40 minutes to get there food, kindof defeats the purpose. Would def return. read more

Had breakfast great simple home cooked fare. No sign outside its across from Mc D's. Good food cheap prices.

On our cross-country road trip, we stopped in the area to try to get a glimpse of the Marfa Lights. It rained all night, so that never happened, and alone in west Texas, for lunch the next day we ended up at Magoo's. It seems to be an Alpine institution, and indeed this is definitely a locals' spot. Super casual with a bunch of tables, with a lively energy--it seems like everyone knows each other. We didn't feel too out of place though, and definitely appreciated the small yet diverse menu and affordable prices. We both got the hamburger steak with brown gravy and grilled onions. Delicious. Food took some time, and service wasn't the friendliest, but it's definitely a good choice if you're in the area. read more

Well, hardly any service. Waitress came to table and never utter any greeting nor ask what we wanted. Just stood there like we can read her mind. Got my own coffee refilled. Didn't get all my food ordered. Nice chunks of ham in my omelette though. Sense the waitress not happy even with her mask on. Said $2.00 tip but they rang up 20%. Wow. Whatever!!!!! Won't be back anyway. read more

Driving thru alpine. We stopped at McDonald's and thought, why not try magoos. Glad we did. Pretty busy at 9am. Food was excellent wife had there #1 breakfast. Bacon eggs and pancakes. I had the huevos rancheros. When in alpine we will make sure to stop!!! read more

Finding food in Alpine on a Saturday was hard! We arrived around 2 and every place we went in to was closing down and would not be open again until dinner. This place was the third place we tried. There was a neon sign that said they were "Open" and cars were out front. We took our two kids, two diaper bags, and all the stuff out and went in and they were closed too! They were not friendly or nice about it. It is just as well. They were cleaning up the lunch rush but the place looked like a mess. We ended up eating at McDonald's and were glad to have it. I told them me would not be going back there. read more

Red and green pork chile done the right way. Cheap and good breakfast and coffee. Nice people in a beautiful little town. We love Alpine and we love Magoo's. read more

This place for starters has no sign at all, until you are a foot from the door and see the 8 1/2 x 11. The food was terrible and quite expensive for being breakfast. My tasteless omelette was 10.25. My husband's breakfast was equally blah. Coffee was 1/3 strength. Not recommended. read more

Very good Mexican food! Our wait wasn't unreasonable and the food came to the table hot. Service good.

Solid for what it is - we got breakfast. No frills but tasty and service was nice. Map on Yelp takes you to the wrong place but the address is correct - across the street from McDonalds. read more

Nothing to write home about, very ordinary food. The people were very sweet but the food was only so-so. If you have a limited time in Alpine, I would recommend other places. read more

True divey diner. Food is typical greasy breakfast food with a slight Mexican twist. That being said, their huevos rancheros were excellent and served with an authentic spicy salsa. Overall, Magoo's was quick and accommodating! read more

Quality West Texas diner fare in a locals' atmosphere. Good: coffee, cheeseburgers, breakfast. Needs improvement: French fries. In two visits and an attempted third, we were met with West Texas hospitality. That is to say, friendly but not in an over-the-top way. As another Yelper said, the posted closing time is a suggestion. Be early. The burgers came highly recommended, and did not disappoint. Homemade quality. The French fries were like all the others we've found in West Texas: not even close to crisp. That just seems to be how they're done out here. Breakfast is a strong suit. From the No. 1 plate to huevos ranchero (sic) everything is tasty. Also homemade quality. Definitely try the pancakes. We're here in Alpine for a week, and I'm going back to Magoo's for lunch again. The carne asada looked amazing. read more

Excellent breakfast! Eggs, bacon, sausage and fluffy pancakes. Coffee perfect. Clean, friendly place.

We had a basic breakfast- #1 and #2. Both breakfast plates were delicious. Service was quick and everyone is helpful and friendly. My boyfriend and I said that we were visiting and we were given a guide book. That's more than we got at the place we were staying in Marfa. If we are ever in Alpine again, we'll definitely be back. read more

Very family-friendly oriented place to enjoy a delicious meal! We brought our children in for a birthday lunch and everything we ordered from the enchiladas to the taco plate to the hamburgers was very delicious! The waitress Daniella was very courteous and went out of her way to make sure we always had what we needed. We will definitely stop in again! read more

Likely the best Huevos Rancheros on the face of the earth. Friendly service and fantastic food across the board in a terrific little town.

Magoo's is a small, local hole-in-the-wall type place where we stopped for breakfast on a Sunday morning and found smiling, friendly faces, a clean (albeit bare-bones) type atmosphere with some of the most delicious breakfast food we have tasted in a while. My husband enjoyed breakfast taco w/chorizo & egg. Chorizo was spicy (but not too), the salsa offered added just the right kick and he said it was yummy! Coffee was hot and we saw them brew at least 2 new pots while we ate, so you know it's fresh. I ordered the biscuits w/sausage gravy and an egg on the side. My 2 fluffy biscuits came w/a whole cup of steamy gravy to add as I chose and the egg was made just as I had ordered. Don't miss this place. read more

Great local spot for the best breakfast in Alpine. Definitely order the Huevos Rancheros. Fantastic!

Fantastic early morning breakfast spot before you head South into Big Bend area. The owner greeted and seated us. Everyone in the diner was talking with one another. Discussing college football to politics. You felt like you knew everyone by the time you finished your meal. Very hometown and the food was equally as good as the company! Huevos Rancheros read more

Stopped here for a good tasty breakfast on the way through town. The place wouldn't earn four stars in a big city, but for roadside diner food in a small town, it's a solid pick. Had the Magoorito breakfast burrito. Wife got pancakes and bacon. Good coffee and friendly staff. The decor is very basic. read more

Growing up in San Antonio I thought I knew good Mexican food. Boy was I wrong. MAGOO'S is the best homemade, authentic, delicious Mexican food I've ever had. Menudo (only available weekends), Huevos Rancheros, and the Crispy chicken tacos are awesome!! Unlike south tex-Mexican food, the food here isn't greasy and tastes fresh. I make it a point to come here every time I'm in Alpine. You should too! read more

The food was good. The service was good. The prices were fair. The decor was below average but simple. No complaints. I was thru here about 7 years ago and ate here. It was also good then. So I guess they are consistent. read more

Not good. I had a bean and potato burrito and I have never had a tortilla I had to describe as "tough" before.

My wife and I stopped for breakfast yesterday, both ordered the egg chorizo and potatoes plate. It was the best ever! Chorizo was not greasy, very fresh and tasty. Tortillas were hot and fresh. Service was friendly and attentive. The establishment was clean, including the bathroom. We will definitely be back. Next time lunch and a cheeseburger. I will report back. read more

This place was a huge disappointment. Ordered scrambled eggs, potatoes and a biscuit for breakfast. Eggs were more white than yellow and dried beyond belief. Potatoes were undercooked, lacked any sort of flavor and were not even crispy. The biscuit was burned on the bottom and dry and not even flaky like one would hope. Coffee was also bland. read more

I would love to give this place a good review, but after 3 visits it is apparent that they are getting by on their reputation. When I first moved to this area, everyone recommended this restaurant, especially for the chicken-fried steak. Long story short, if the manager is not there, some of the kitchen staff isn't either. The waitresses are wonderful, but when the grease needs changing and the food is burned on the outside and raw in the inside, they can't fix it. Try going there between Tuesday and Friday; evidently the cooks don't perform well on weekends. read more

The chili verde burrito was excellent! The meat tastes like it had stewed all day. It's just the meat wrapped in a tortilla with some lettuce and tomato on the side. Super cheap lunch prices. The beef tacos were yummy as well. Once we got our plates, we never saw the waitstaff again. I'd go back for a quick bite. read more

$18 for 3 breakfast tacos, are you kidding me?!!!! I called in my order to go since I was short on time and heading to work. I ordered 3 bacon and egg tacos. When I showed up the girl working the counter told me how much it was. At first I thought she had my order confused with somebody else. Nope, it was mine. Those tacos must be flavored with gold flakes and nothing else because they were not good. I won't be going back read more

A local recommended this as the best place for bkfst in Alpine. Huevos Ranchero and tacos are quite good. Lots of locals come here to eat. Great prices. read more

We came here on a recommendation but just missed breakfast (ends at 11am). I have a feeling that breakfast would have been tastier than the lunch. It was ok but not spectacular. Cheese fries were underwhelming. Service was friendly. read more

Service was good. Food was okay. Husband got the chicken fried and said it was really good.

We've been here twice for lunch. Very friendly people, good service, and surprisingly great food!

F...ing awesome girls!! Great service, great burgers in the middle of nowhere. Fries are fresh homemade and taste this way as well. Sure return if I ever end up there again with a flat tire :-) read more
