I ordered a cup of chili and some Buffalo wings, and the lady friend ordered some chicken tacos. The chili was good, apparently they use the recipe from the award-winning cookout each year. The wings were weird; the flats were good and crispy but the drumettes were flimsy. The ladyfriend's tacos were horrible. They seemed to use the bagged Tyson precooked chicken breast strips that were all rubbery in texture. They gave here just a few pieces of cilantro and onion on top. These were not street tacos and needed some toppings to mask the crappy meat. I still gave them 3 stars because it's Terlingua, the beer was cold, the chili was good and the waiter was very nice.

We got 3 flavors of tacos: Barbacoa, Asada and Al Pastor. The asada was good but not spicy at all, the barbacoa was juicy and salty in a good way and the Al Pastor was flavorful, but a tad dried out. The pineapple on top of the Al Pastor helped mask the dried-out meat. The jalapenos were delicious! They were wrapped in bacon, stuffed with cream cheese and grilled to give it a smoky flavor. The service was outstanding, fast friendly attentive. The only issue is that they do not serve alcohol, but you can bring your own.

The Blues couldn't pull up the transaction, no idea why? I guess she felt it was okay to leave herself a HUGE $100 tip. When confronted about the situation, she just tried to kick him out of the bar. I've heard from so many people of this behavior from her when she worked at the Crystal Bar and I find it very sad and unfortunate it's continuing at a different bar in town. It's a small community we live in, this kind of shit isn't okay. So, if she's working, I recommend people look at their receipts when closing out, don't leave your card, and just be aware. Theft is illegal.

There is a large stage area for live music, a back house with pool and board games, and an old bus with seats and a table. Didn't get to take pics of the bus, but it was awesome.

The waitress brought them quickly, but unfortunately, they were served at room temperature. There was no actual cheese on them, just a somewhat runny, room temperature white liquid, cold pinto beans, guacamole, sour cream, a plentiful amount of black olives, and pickled jalapenos. I have had better nachos at a truck stop, where they at least are served hot. This is the 3rd time I have tried Amigos and the 3rd disappointment. I guess I give up on them.

The beer selection was limited. We ordered enchiladas with Christmas tree sauce. The red and green sauce were both very good. The veggie enchiladas were loaded with veggies. The meat enchiladas were good however they weren't that hot temperature wise. The rice and beans were okay. Server was friendly and we enjoyed our meal!

**This is a 3.5 star review.**…read more This joint is divey in all the best ways. First, the kitschy decor and screened in porch are real, and not meant to bring in tourists. Second, they charge for chips and salsa, which I saw them deliver to one table during our lunch. That tells me, that someone either really loves the stuff, or that someone from way north thinks this is a normal thing. Hell, they don't even bring a check to the table here. (You or your server tell them what you order, and bam! They give you your total. Finally, most of the patrons during our visit were well known to Crow (the dude who took care of us), which assures me that this is a place where the locals eat. The food here is good when compared with the other trillion Tex-Mex joints that I've patronized over the years. Because two of us were heading to Big Bend National Park and didn't want to get overly full, we split the Mexican Plate. -- The tamale was fine, served in the husk (with no chili or sauce). Decent bite to it. -- Cheese enchilada was delicious; beef enchilada was OK, as the beef was barely seasoned. -- The hard taco was decent. Again, barely seasoned meat. -- Refried beans were run of the mill; the rice was 'wet,' sort of like the stuff you make at home from a package. I'm used to Mexican rice that is dry. This might be a Terlingua thing. Either way, it was OK. -- Salsa gets points for being served cold and having some spice to it. I must give these folks credit as well for not watering it down like so many joints do. -- Good bottled beer selection. They even had Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which is quirky in a wonderful kind of way! The folks who live in these parts probably aren't reading Yelp for restaurant reviews, as there are only a handful to begin with. For the many people passing through, be it for the World Chili Cook-off Championships, or for Big Bend National Park, this is a nice, friendly little dive to stop at and have a good Tex-Mex meal.

First -- and I rarely comment on other reviews -- there is nothing "weird" about the food here…read more Further, yes... This is a cash-only business. That's a rarity these days, and I'm sure the IRS and local school district are getting all that's due to them. (Not really.) I'm an out-of-towner, and I stopped here for lunch before heading back south. The food and service were good. Not great. Indeed everyone was friendly, and there was enough gooey cheese to float a battleship. The "frozen" beer mug was actually a plastic mug, which is horse hockey. If I'd known better, I would've saved the dishwasher some trouble and just sipped from the bottle. Back to the food... The cheese enchiladas here are divine. They're gooey, and the red sauce is wonderful. The hard corn tacos are fine ... nothing special. Same thing with the rice and beans. -- Mexican rice in these parts has been wet at every restaurant. I'm used to dry Mexican rice. (And I was taught by a Mexican abuela how to make proper Mexican rice.) But I digress. Chips here are marginal. Hopefully, they come in on a truck, because they hardly taste like they are fried in the kitchen. The salsa, while served cold (which is proper) is a little too chunky for my taste, although it has a nice bite to it. The locals eat here. Good for them, because this place is decent. But also bad for them, because restaurants like this one should breed some decent competition ... even in a tiny town such as Alpine. Also, bad for them because this place only accepts cash, which most people don't carry these days. (Yes, we had cash, but the six ladies at the adjacent table didn't.)

Very disappointing. My wife says we have eaten there before, but I dont remember. Service was OK…read more Wife had green chile chicken enchilada which was not very flavorful. The chicken had no flavor at all and the dish was very soupy. The server said "that's the way they serve it". That's fine, but wife couldnt eat it. The plate was barely eaten and the server offered no recourse. It was wasted. Then the cashier came over, whom I believe to be ownership, and told us we could come to the counter to check out. We showed her the uneaten plate and she just looked at us and said she would charge only 50%. Since it was barely touched, I feel it should have been totally removed from the bill, but what is $7.00 among friends. She really acted as she didnt care. Chips were store bought and cold. Salsa was very good, but was cold as if it had come straight from the refrigerator. I had a bowl of beans and they were "weird". We paid and left. Needless to say, we will not be back. I suppose it's the manner in which the whole situation was handled and the demeanor of the staff.
