“ The food at this restaurant has so much flavor! It was delicious. Service was very good. There’s 1 person taking orders, bringing out food and taking payments. If it’s busy it may be a little slow. No alcohol served. ”
“ OMG! The most delicious chilaquiles and don’t miss tamales. Unique and made with LOVE. ”
“ For a week this March, our camper was parked right next door to this fabulous Mexican restaurant. My wife and I loved it so much we ate three dinners there. The Green Chicken Enchiladas were fantastic, so good I ordered it twice, while my wife loved the Chiles Rellenos and the Mole Chicken Enchiladas. The third night we shared the Mexican Fiesta Fajitas (we had chicken, but they also have beef), plus a side of fresh Guacamole. Everything was freshly prepared and very authentic. Tivo's wife served us all three nights, and she is a lovely lady. Note that they don't serve any alcohol, which was fine with us, but might not be for everyone. I just drank water, but my wife liked their Pink Lemonade. We will definitely eat here again on our next trip to Big Bend! ”
“ This is my favorite Mexican food restaurant anywhere! The owner is so friendly, and the food is always good. They make the guacamole fresh after you order it. It's amazing. Its literally the best guacamole ive ever had. No place has the flavor like this. Homemade tortillas. Everything is Homemade. ”
“ Truly worth traveling for. Delicious enchiladas verdes. My whole family enjoyed their meals. Very clean. I appreciated that there is NO PORK served. Open Sundays. ”
“ The food was OK. My total for two meals and an appetizer was 60 something dollars which I thought was outrageous. I ordered street tacos and my chicken was flavorless and boiled? Which I thought was disgusting. ”
“ We received recommendations from a few folks in town. The food and service were excellent. The Tacos De Alambre was exceptional. The Mexican Plate is also good. ”
“ Stopping here before my trip to Big Bend was one of the best decisions I could’ve made. The people were absolutely lovely, especially if you take a moment to chat with them. The restaurant was clean, calm, and welcoming. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d definitely come back especially for that Tivo Burger! ”
