Customer Reviews
Had some good comfort at El Turista but the price was a little high; $78 dollars for 3 plates and 2 drinks. The salsa was on point!! Chalking this one up to bad communication, my Spanish is horrible.
Grabbed a quesabirria for early dinner, was delish! Came with sour cream and several other dips in addition to console. Great service! Ignore the missing bite, I couldn't resist it needed a bite before the picture
The food? Insanely good. Super authentic. We devoured mini steak tacos and cheesy quesadillas wrapped in homemade tortillas that tasted straight out of abuelita’s kitchen. A fresh fruit cup hit the sweet spot, and nothing beats washing it all down with an ice-cold real Coke. We kicked back on the benches, soaking in good vibes and even better people. Pure magic.
I get the feeling people are missing this place because it's not in a spot with natural foot traffic. But if you see this review, I promise you won't regret having lunch here. Probably the best torta I ever had. The bread was out of this world, as well as the steak and the sauces. 1000% recommended. Lovely lady running the place too.
This is a fantastic little streetside restaurant. Built from a shipping container with an open air patio covered by a pole shed. It's 2 lots off the main drag in downtown Marfa. We had steak quesadillas, Carnitas and birra tacos. All well seasoned, fresh and delicious.
