The food is really good. So good we ate here twice on our Big Bend trip. The food was way better than a few other places we tried in the area. We ordered the beef Flautas and beef tacos. The owner is such a nice lady also! read more

The food is ridiculously good, the service is unbelievably rude. Ambience is a little weird, very homey. But I'd definitely come back because these are the best flautas I have ever had. read more

Tivo's Place - Flautas - Mexican Near Me - Terlingua, Texas

The Mexican Plate was delicious. Freshly prepared and very flavorful. The chile relleno (stuffed pepper) in the dish was one of the best I've ever had with a nice spice. Food came out in about 15 minutes. I would pass on the Horchata, it's alright. Restaurant ambiance was nice and the hostess/server was very friendly even with me coming in an hour before closing. She provided fast service and good recommendations. Would come back and recommend others to give this place a try. read more

The food was pretty good, though no homemade tortillas. The server was Extremely rude, a woman probably in her sixties: a very sour face with an terrible attitude problem. Never again.!!! read more

The server was rude as hell. Older woman in her sixties, was offended because I did not want the red sauce. The order was to go, it took 45 minutes to get our food and then the server wanted to charge me for plastic ware after I spent $75 dollars on her nasty food. DO NOT SPEND A DIME THERE! They absolutely do not like tourists. There is a pizza place down 170, go there. read more

Nice place with some great food. We had guacamole, which was obviously made fresh. Delicious! My husband had the Mexican plate and I had green chicken enchiladas. Everything was really good. The enchiladas were stacked, New Mexico style. Service was very friendly and running on Mexican time. Would highly recommend eating here. read more

A bit slow as far as service and food for a Tues. night. Food was alight but nothing to write home about. However, I have to give the abuelita's that were the servers were working the room to make sure everyone was covered. With minimal choices in Terlingua this would be a solid 3rd on the list of must try restu rants. read more

We were on our way to Santa Elena Canyon from Lajitas and decided to stop and have a quick meal. Almost over 1 hour, we FINALLY ate and left. The lady who works there has horrible customer service! The food was good, definitely not worth the wait. read more

Tivo's was wonderful! I love Mexican food and this was some of the best I've had over many years with lots of flavor. I had the Mexican Plate which was a selection of a number of entrees which was a filling portion size where even the rice had more flavor than normal. The service was also very good. Overall impressive especially for the location with friendly people. Definitely recommend! read more

Service was very fast. I'm vegetarian, no dairy, so it was a little difficult to find anything to eat. I had the guacamole chalupas. They were good. My husband had the Mexican plate. He was just okay with his food. The restaurant is clean and the service was friendly. They were very busy by the time we left. There aren't many choices in Terlingua for food. For Mexican, this one was okay. read more

Lovely dining experience while staying in Terlingua visiting Big Bend. Servers were very kind and welcoming. Food was delicious - tried the Mexican Plate and the Alambre Tacos. Great seasoning/flavor and I especially loved their take on a chile relleno. One of the best Arnold Palmers I've ever tasted which was surprising. Please note they don't serve or allow alcohol. Enjoy! read more

Great dining experience after a long day of hiking started as soon as we walked in the door. Stephanie was very friendly and attentive! The homemade guac and ice cold beverages in metal cups very refreshing but the real treat was the green chicken enchiladas and chicken fajitas! Everything was hot, delicious and fresh! We will definitely be back! read more

DO IT! it's incredible! The food is amazing and the vibe is perfect. Don't pay attention to the bad reviews from tourist being impatient or competitor businesses trying to put them down. Just do it! read more

10 out of 10 we recommend! Great place, extremely clean and the owner was so sweet!

Food was delicious!! I had chicken enchiladas with tomatillo (homemade sauce), rice and beans - AMAZING! Server was the sweetest Mexican mamasita! She was helpful and very prompt with her service! She made suggestions, which made the meal more satisfying! The restaurant was like a little Spanish Casita. Very clean and nicely decorated! A very nice, relaxing, satisfying meal! Just PERFECT!! read more

The food was delicious! The service was great. I'm a vegetarian and could eat! I will return when back in the area. read more

I decided to celebrate the morning of my birthday at Tivo's Place on a whim while traveling out of town. My boyfriend and I started with the fresh chips and salsa and Tivo's Place was already proving themselves to be a good restaurant. We read good things about their chilaquiles, but unfortunately, they had just stopped serving breakfast. Our waitress kindly asked the kitchen to make an exception and I'm so glad she did because these green chili chilaquiles are INCREDIBLE! At the end of the meal, our waitress surprised me with a tres leches cake topped with a sparkling candle, and had to entire restaurant singing happy birthday to me. I was touched by the warmth and kindness I felt at Tivo's and can't wait to come back when I'm in town again. read more

Great service, food and ambiance. Ate dinner here twice during our stay and both meals were fantastic!

Hands down, the best food in this area. The service was great and atmosphere was chill. The Authentic mexican food so mouth watering. The portions were spot on. We will stop at TIVO's every time we drive through this area. read more

Tivo's Place - Authentic Mexican Food!! - Mexican Near Me - Terlingua, Texas

The food at this modest Mexican restaurant was quite good. It had very few filled tables, perhaps because there is no alcohol served or allowed here. The manager - who was also our waitress - got friendlier as our dinner went on, but it was an interesting experience. We will go back. read more

Tasty menu options at reasonable prices. The desebrada was a nice blend of marinated shredded beef, onions, and peppers - melt in your mouth and not b underpowered with spiciness. The chicken entomatadas were fresh and cheesy. Great option if you're looking for great food without alcoholic beverages. read more

We had incredibly great food! The restaurant was very clean and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend!

OG's know Nereida and Tivo's food is the best. So happy for their new location. Tacos De Alambre, Mexican Plate, Piccadillo, Chile Rellenos -- CRAVE Worthy. Don't skip it. read more

Tivo's Place - Tacos de Alambre - Mexican Near Me - Terlingua, Texas

The food was AMAZING! It tasted authentic and best of all FRESH. We had the beef fajitas and the green chicken enchiladas. Both were fantastic. I especially loved the Mexican rice that came with both dishes. We ate here on vacation, so I will probably never be back, and that makes me so sad because I will definitely be craving this again soon. read more

We had a short stay at the Longhorn Motel, had dinner at Tivo's the first night and really enjoyed their food.

We haven't been since 2020. The new location is nice and the food is still great. Our server was also the cashier and hostess. She has been there about 20 years and very sweet. read more

Not many choices in Terlingua so since Tivo's was near our accommodations we chose it for a late lunch. A unique older woman greeted us, seated us and took our drink orders (the horchata is house made and delicious, not overly sweet like those mixes). Turns out the lady was co-owner with her husband Tivo, the cook. The enchiladas, beans and rice were authentic, if a little strong on the chili powder. The experience was as memorable as the food. Definitely a place you want to go when you're on your way to or from Big Bend. read more

Originally typed out a long review, but I'll just summarize it: -food good -atmosphere off putting and depressing -unfriendly staff and service -long wait time (waited 1:15 for an enchilada) Would not recommend Update 10 hours later: got food poisoning, so I take back what I said about the food being good read more

Food like my grandmother used to make when I was growing up in El Paso. Chili rellenos with light crispy coating and not drowned in sauce. Stacked enchiladas and nachos. It was fabulous read more

Food was great! Won't go back because the lady at the register kept us standing there for 5 minutes preaching false doctrine to us from her cult. Too bad. Food - 5 stars. Preaching Zero stars. read more

YOU WANT TO EAT HERE!!!!!!!!! I am still dreaming of this food!!!!!!!!!! The food is fresh and made with so much love! Bring the family and chow down! read more

The food here is average and the location on basically every app is wrong. You will not have service anywhere in the surrounding area so remember this - this establishment is really close to Terlingua Ranch Rd. You will get charged for water here and they will include an automatic tip when you pay. I'm all about supporting local businesses, but the food and service here were just mediocre. Keep in mind, however, that there are extremely limited options for food in this area aside from this place. read more

Tivo's Place - Chicken chalupas - Mexican Near Me - Terlingua, Texas

Legit Tortilla chips, salsa and guacamole. YUM fajitas. Shredded beef tacos also yum. Liked that they offered American Coke and Mexican bottled Coke. No alcohol here though so just know that ahead of time. Nice dining room. Customer service quite cold and unwelcoming but perhaps server was having a hard day. Even so, would return for those chips, guacamole and fajitas!! read more

We stopped here for lunch - it was amazing! I had the guacamole chalupas...they were among the best I've ever had! We'll be back the next time we're in Terlingua. read more

Great food! I got the flautas which were good, but my husband got the fajitas and they were fantastic!! The woman who runs the place is all business. She is not mean, like another reviewer said. We cannot expect every hostess to be effusive. And we can't expect lightning fast service from a restaurant with so few staff members and unpredictable crowds. It was slower than what I would expect in the city, but life in west TX just moves at a slower pace. I do agree with another reviewer than Terlinguans hate tourists. They have such limited resources and tourists gobble of gas and groceries. Tread lightly when you visit Be aware that a dog without personal boundaries may great you when you open your car door. For us, that was fine, but for others, it may not be. read more

So, so good! True West TX Mexican food. very fresh. Clean restaurant and friendly people.

Service was outstanding! Food very very good and authentic! Nice to be served by people with good character! Thank you !

Great food and service near Terlingua. We stayed at the Ten Bits Ranch and wanted to grab something quick. This place was 8 minutes away, with 6 of those being our driveway. We showed up around 6 pm, and there wasn't a car in the parking lot, and all of the lights were off. We went in anyway, and they were open, but we were the first customers. Considering this was spring break, that wasn't a great sign. But we went ahead and ordered. The food was all really good and cooked to order. It's a Mexican place but I got a burger. We watched her make the patty by hand. The guacamole was made on the spot, too. My youngest had chicken tenders ofcourse and my oldest and wife split fajitas. When you drive up, the outside is well kept, but the interior is mich nicer. The ambiance is traditional, and everything was very clean and well cared for. I don't usually order the hamburguesa, but it was exceptional. And the fries were potatoes until we showed up. We were mixed on the fajitas. They were good and I would order them again but I think my burger and fries ruined them for me. Definitely a hidden gem anyone staying at the Ten Bits Ranch should try. Fair warning, they are closed on Friday and Saturday. read more

First a warning about the location. The map that Yelp has is not accurate. Assuming it's the same Tivos, the restaurant is 12 miles north on 118. Drive north until you think there is no way that there is a restaurant ahead and then - there it is! The guacamole and chips were great. The enchiladas verdes had too much cheese for me but that was my fault for not ordering them the way I wanted them. The chile relleno that my husband had was good but stuffed only with cheese. A little boring. read more
