    TiVo's place

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

    Authentic Mexican Food!!

    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.

    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.

    A must for anyone who has wondered their way to the town of Terlingua. Our group had made our way…read moreafter a long day of travel. We actually were not keen on eating out. However, with uncanny timing in the scorching Texas Summer, the power was out at our Airbnb. Sweaty, tired, and frustrated, we arrived at the Starlight looking for solace. Thankfully, coming in during the exact offseason of Big Bend, there was no wait at all for our group of six. Service was great. Namely, we quickly got waters to quench our thirsts. Never having tried an antelope burger, I opted for that. Minimal to no gamey flavor at all. If anything, it was pretty much similar in almost all aspects to a lean beef burger. The green chile added some texture and flavor but not to the point where it detracts from the meat itself. That's a plus! Other things that I will note - the restroom is outside in a shack that's right across from the outside bar area. The inside of the restaurant truly feels rustic and magical at the same time - a feel that really encapsulates Terlingua. We didn't get to see a performance. It looked like they were preparing for one but there wasn't anything for that evening. Some pluses were that our waitress was kind enough to give us a bag of ice as the restaurant was closing for the night. It was definitely appreciated as our the power to our Airbnb would not be restored until afternoon of the next day. She could have easily charged us but she did not. Much appreciated!

In the in seasonal peak times, our waiter informed us there could be up to 200 people lining up out the door. While the food was good with great service, I think I'd be disappointed. It was great to be able to check off antelope from the bucket list of exotic fare. The food was good and represented the area well, but I wouldn't rave about it. Fir beer and soda, there is only canned and bottled as their soda fountain was broken along with the draft system- which has been for years now. Now on the other hand, the 3 margaritas we had were outstanding! There is a ramp along with stairs to enter. For the not-so-nice... there is a shared outdoor restroom with a toilet, urinal snd sink attached to the old jail cell. The urinal was so close to the toilet, that when getting up, it felt like you were shoving your head inside. And it reeked of old nasty urine. My suggestion, hold it.

    Gordo's is local, fast, and very good…read more While we were in Terlingua this food truck was our go to... we made three trips to this place ordering different things and it never let me down. We travelled there in mid-July and the options in Terlingua were somewhat limited, but this is one you don't want to skip. The first evening, we stopped by coming out of west Big Bend NP, and I just needed something easy and not messy. So, I got an horchata and an al pastor burrito. Liz had the al pastor tacos, and the burrito was a self contained version of that deliciousness. The agua de melon was very sweet and energizing after a long day of hiking in the park. The horchata was creamy and thick, but just as cold and refreshing as its fruity cousin. We went horseback riding with the Terlingua Stables and before checking out Big Bend Ranch State Park. This time around, Liz grabbed a burger, which she was happy with. I tried another burrito - the chicken fajita bacon ranch. The fries that came with Liz's burgers were good... i stole some. I went back for seconds and ordered a small order (6) of wings with a not so spicy version of the mango habanero. I was able to enjoy them, and I tried their third agua fresca - hibiscus/jamaica. In the end, i was impressed with Gordo's they were always there for us, during the Terlingua "slow" season. The service was very friend, and the food served was very good. Don't miss out on Gordo's.

We stopped in after a long day at Big Bend, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our whole trip. Let's start with the beef nachos. I've had a lot of nachos in my life, but these are on another level. The beef was incredibly flavorful--seasoned perfectly and piled on generously. Each chip was individually loaded instead of just dumping toppings on top, so every single bite had that perfect balance of crispy chip, melty cheese, tender beef, and fresh toppings. Do not skip these. I'm still thinking about them days later. For my main, I went with the shredded beef sandwich, and wow. The beef was so tender it practically fell apart, slow-cooked to perfection and piled high on what I think was a fresh-baked bun. It came with these seasoned fries that were crispy and well-salted. My partner got the enchiladas (also great), but honestly I couldn't stop stealing bites of my own sandwich. The view from the patio is ridiculous--you're looking straight at the Chisos Mountains while eating some of the best food in West Texas. The cocktail menu is legit too; the mezcal margarita paired perfectly with everything. Service was friendly and laid-back, exactly the vibe you want in Terlingua. A heads-up: it gets busy around sunset, so either show up early or be prepared to wait a bit. Totally worth it though. If you're in the Big Bend area, do yourself a favor and eat here. Get the beef nachos. Get the shredded beef sandwich. Thank me later.
