My hub and I walked over to Magoo's place from the Maverick Inn for breakfast on our recent 2-night stay (May 24&25) in Alpine. Hubby had huevos rancheros and I had the green chile verde burrito. Both very tasty and we highly recommend. read more

What a fun little place for breakfast! Definitely a local favorite! Our server was the sweetest lady imaginable and allowed me to custom order my omelet: two egg whites, all veggies except jalapeños, and just a small amount of cheese. It was perfect! They included a small container of salsa that was really tasty, but oh so spicy! The unsweet iced tea was absolutely perfect. Great experience! read more

Wow! I did not expect this kind of food in Alpine, TX. We got the three "burritos" and they were all delicious! They weren't even burritos though bc as you can tell from the pics they were so packed that they couldn't even roll it up!!!! The pancake was so light and fluffy . The service was so fast and everything was hot. The restaurant itself was clean and nicely spaced out. Most definitely will be back for some yummy burritos and pancakes! read more

Ate here most days while in the area again recently. Breakfast is still excellent and a good value. The burgers are great, but the Green Chicken Enchiladas are really excellent and I highly recommend them. If you like spicy salsa and good chips, make sure to add them to your meal. The place can get super busy but the staff does a great job of handling everyone an making sure to get orders taken and keeping up with all the craziness. read more

This was a quick stop on our way back to San Antonio from Marfa. We had the huevos rancheros, verde burrito and another burrito. We were so full afterwards! Would recommend if you're in a rush and want something quick and cheap! Burritos were under 5 bucks each! Can't beat that :) read more

Super friendly and good food. Spent fathers day having breakfast there. I highly recommend it

Real-Deal Tex Mex!!! Cheese enchiladas were big and three to a plate. Tacos were great but rice and beans stole the show! Great homemade food, staff were excellent, service was fantastic!! read more

Hanging out in Alpine while sitting at a local bar, a gentleman from San Antonio and I struck up a conversation about where to eat breakfast. Me asking if there was any place in town that had the best breakfast tacos. His reaction and response was quite surprising. "It's burritos around here; no tacos" ala Yankee land. We're in West Texas for gawd sake! I come from the breakfast taco capitol of the world aka Austin. You know, shit Austinites say possibly more than HOOK "EM? Dude, lets get some tacos. SO, Magoo's does have burritos. But, about two down from the top of the menu is a two egg taco. Four bucks and change with cheese. An eight inch tortilla instead of the usual sixer. The first morning my kid hoovered the entire sausage, egg, and cheese creation. First day, I ended up with an off menu Red Chili Pork dish with two eggs over easy, refried beans, and potatoes. Only complaint, diced boiled taters. Throw them spuds on the flat top and give them some love! Next morning, I ordered the same SEC taco the boy had the day before. Tacos for the win in Alpine, Texas. Salsas were great, service was stellar with the server welcoming us back the second day like we were regulars. Can't even knock a star off for the taters; or the seeing eye dog who actually does the cooking ;) read more

We have been trying to eat at this place for a couple of years. Let me just say that the hours posted for all the restaurants in this town are suspect. You really have to be persistent to eat at any of these places. We finally got lucky on our second attempt this week. We walked in and got the only table that was open. The waitress was very friendly and showed up with hot coffee & 3 cups. My wife and daughter knew exactly what they wanted, but I had questions. After discussing options with the waitress she recommended the biscuits and gravy. I took her advice. She came back later and told me that they were down to their last biscuit, so she offered to throw in an order of bacon. Who could argue with that? The breakfast was really good. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely go back when in the area (hopefully will find them open). read more

Really nice and quaint place. Came in from out of town headed to Big Bend. Found this to be the only place In town with 5 stars. Came in and had the Fajita Special (Beef) and chips. The server was super friendly and helpful. The food came out surprisingly faster than we thought (good thing). The Fajitas were on point all the way around. Just wished you got more than one tortilla, which I asked for a second one and the nice server was happy to bring me another. The only thing that made my visit to this place annoying was this family of 3 kids, mom and grandma that could not control their screaming kids (they weren't toddlers, more like 4-5 yo) and apparently are regulars. read more

Fun place and amazing burritos. Great service. Enjoyed the staff. I recommend this food for sure.

The red cheese enchiladas were on point. The burgers looked just as good. Check it out when you're in Alpine.

The best place for breakfast in Alpine. Especially if you like huevos rancheros. The magoorito burrito was good too. read more

Magoo's Place - The regional food is asado on the right. Good food and great staff!!! - Burgers Near Me - Alpine, Texas

Mediocre factory food. The burger looked like they weren't even trying. I took a few bites of my friends' enchilada plate and it tasted like a microwave dinner. Every thing tasted and looked like they were cutting corners. Maggo's should thank their god tourists and college students keep them in business because they would not last a month in a bigger city. read more

I ate here during the cowboy poetry festival, and like the first review had wonderful food. I had the chicken fried steak, which came out tender and yummy. My parents had the fried catfish which had a great cornmeal batter on it. Even my picky uncle loved it. We have only eaten there once so I can't talk about the consistency of the good food, but the time we went it was great. **Apparently I started this review 9 years ago and never finished it. we still love Magoos. Their salsa is my favorite, and their huevos rancheros is my go-to meal for breakfast. Their salsa is so good I always buy a large cup full of it to take back home and put on everything. read more

This was a family owned restaurant and don't let the name fool you. I thought it was American food, and although they do serve American food they also have really good mexican food. We had the Magoo breakfast burrito and man was it good. I couldn't finish it as much as I wanted to. As we walked out I saw someone's chicken fried steak and it look delicious. Prices were very reasonable and the owners were very friendly. If we are ever in Alpine again, we are definitely coming back. read more

Stopped in here on our way to Big Bend Ranch Park and I'm pleased to say they followed COVID-19 rules, marking off tables so customers weren't too close, wiping off menus, disposable utensils, and even the cooks were wearing masks. My wife and I love mom and pop places like this, and try to only eat at that type of establishment whenever we travel. We both had the enchilada plate, me the green, and her the red. It was good stuff. We didn't have the cheese fries, but apparently we should have. This guy named Ronnie had them, and he told the waitress that they were so good, that he'd fix their AC in the restaurant for free...FREE. I mean, does that not sound like some good fries? If we weren't so full we would have ordered some to go. He said he'd be back in 4 or 5 days, it's been 5, so I'm wondering if he actually came back, i'm invested. read more

Good food. Great friendly service. Can be very crowded. Open from 8-2 except weekends when they close at noon. Closed Monday. Burgers, Tex-Mex, arguably the best chicken fried steak in town. The only veggies are beans, french fries and lettuce/tomato salad. Oh, and jalapeños. read more

Excellent in every way the service and food were impeccable and price was right. I would recommend this place to anyone!

In town for a music festival and tried Magoos. Really good chicken fried steak, homemade fries, and toast. Huge portion and the wife and I split it. Also excellent salsa. Would highly recommend if you are in Alpine, TX. read more

Passing through Alpine on a return trip home from Terlingua, TX, Magoo's Place was recommended for breakfast. It did not disappoint. We had the best breakfast ever, and the server was outstanding. The cashier was friendly and made us feel welcome and appreciated. If ever near Magoo's again, we will certainly enjoy another good old fashioned breakfast there. read more

I had a breakfast here. Solid normal breakfast items served the way they should be. Just an old food dive type of place. Locals, rancher and townsfolk eat here. All solid, clean and fast. Nothing mind blowing but I'm Alpine your lucky to find a goood meal. You have to try hard. Lol Give this place a try for low key situation. read more

Awesome lunch place! If you need some good comfort food this is the place in Alpine. Haven't done breakfast yet but heard it's great!

The good: the asado and enchiladas were both fantastic. Lots of locals running into each other there, which is always nice to see The bad: super weak coffee, even by dive standards. The tortillas were a gross store bought variety. And above all, they charged a credit card surcharge, which is illegal in Texas read more

Very good food and service Well price. Friendly people Go early a lot of people eat there. read more

Good food, quick service, parking is difficult when busy. Ambiance is so so , but place is clean. Friendly staff/service

Came here to get some lunch while we were on a trip this past week. We walked in and you pick your own table. We sat and were greeted right away with menus. The waitress was polite and quick. We ordered the chicken taco plate and a bean and cheese burrito and it came out pretty steadily. The tacos were delicious, but falling apart some. The salsa served with it gave a nice kick for sure! The beans and rice were sooooo good! I ended up taking the bean and cheese home and ate it the next morning and it was really good also! Quick, friendly service and great food! Check them out if you're in the area and looking to get your grub on! read more

This was such a great place to stop in for lunch. Highly recommend the Chile Verde plate! Be ready for the spicy!!

Great food and service with an admirable hometown vibe. We always stop and eat breakfast here when we are in the area.

We have seen magoo's grow and shift over years. It is an excellent local hole in wall kind of place. They know and love their locals. And the locals love them. Their parking situation has not sadly gotten better. But they did work on it and it improved some. And they have shifted their staff around to more appropriate for the person jobs. They are always friendly even when slammed. They are hands down one of the best breakfast options in town. Also their burgers are excellent. My teenager loves their pancakes and frito pie. My husband is a fan of the magoorito for breakfast and the chicken fried steak with green sauce for lunch. I personally am a fan of their huevos rancheros and hamburgers. Sadly I don't have any pics to add. But magoos is worth a stop when you are in the area. I also understand their menudo is excellent. read more

The staff works hard to accommodate in even the busiest times. Food is wonderful. You won't find a better huevos rancheros north of the border..... read more

Sweet staff and the huevos rancheros were different from San Antonio but a good different! Lots of locals. They knew them by their first names. I did overhear they only serve breakfast. Went there for breakfast so it was perfect for a quick drive through the town. read more

This place was recommended to us to eat for breakfast. It was super busy so obviously that alone was a good sign. Service was good and quick. The breakfast itself was ok but they didn't have coffee. Maybe we should have tried the breakfast burritos instead. read more

This place has really good breakfast tacos and burritos. The people who work there are always really friendly too.

They didn't tell me about the credit card surcharge until they'd already run the card. I asked them to void the transaction so I could pay cash and they were unable to do so. I don't know if their failure to disclose this extra charge is omission or commission, but it's poor business regardless. There are places with both better food and service here. read more

We had the Mexican steak with rice and beans and a flour tortilla with shredded chicken, ground beef, tomatoes and lettuce. All really good. But have your drink ready for the salsa!!! That sh!t is spicy!!!!!!! The flavor is on point! read more
