Angels Restaurant

Great local spot that reminds me a little of the late, great Mandos. Tasty food and friendly service. I love their tacos. It's BYOB and very small so go early for lunch or dinner.

This is a locally-owned, authentic Mexican restaurant in Marfa with fantastic options.The food reminds me of meals I've had at a dear friend's place. True home style cooking that hits the belly just right.The portions are big and we should have shared a meal. Haha. But who wants to do that?

My first visit was today but I'll be back as I live just down the road in Alpine. My breakfast burrito was so very delicious! And the salsa served on the side was very tasty and not too hot - a winning combination. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area.

Small clean restaurant with about seven tables. EXCELLENT food! Good portions, and Friendly service.

The beans & cheese botana & 2 burgers & fries were delicious! The salsa was off the charts! Service was friendly!

Great food, prices, service, flavours, dine in, and take out. I was visiting and am so glad I found this place. Lovely local spot!

We walked in on a chilly March morning, and the place was filled with locals (a good sign). Angel was very prompt in seating us and taking our order (thanks for moving a heater over to our table!), and I believe her husband was behind the grill. You can fell the love they pour into the place. I am a bit of an expert in breakfast burritos, and their version was EXCELLENT. The salsa was top shelf as well. I'd love to go back to this place to try the rest of the menu, as everything looked great. Thanks Angel, and best wishes: I hope you guys prosper wildly.

Literally re-downloaded yelp to do this review. We stopped by Angels, because it was one of three local places open. At first glance we thought it was a walk up window restaurant. But after walking in through the blue door. There are 7 tables to dine at. You seat yourself and pay at the hostess stand like a lot of local restaurants. After going to the Chinati museum, we stopped by here to grab some food before heading on the rest of our trip. Here is a breakdown of service and food. Salsa {5/5} has a fresh cilantro taste with just enough spice to make you grab more chips. First basket is included in meal, each basket after is $1.00.Hubby ordered: chicken fajita salad 4/5 this is not your typical salad. Don't think salad bowl and think more like nachos with extra lettuce. That being said. We were not mad about it. The chicken was really well marinated, tomatoes and bell peppers were fresh, and with a side of guacamole was a great meal. Only reason why we didn't give it 5 stars is because it wasn't what we define as a salad. (It was better then a salad tbh) My order: Chicken Botanas 5/5 I've never had Botanas before. Well I have, but we called them lazy nachos when I was younger and we would heat them up in the microwave. Angels Botanas were so much better. Let me layout the first bite. Bottom layer- crunchy fried tortilla Bean layer- refried beans comforting and warm Cheese- gooey as expected Chicken- marinated, shredded perfectly, so you're not fighting for your life to keep the chicken in your mouth (ifykyk) Lettuce & tomato- refreshing, fresh, helps combat the fried. Service 5/5 Understand you are walking into a small Town Marfa establishment. There will most likely only be one server, one cook, and one dish washer. If you need fast food consider ordering to go. Otherwise you will need to set aside 30-50 minutes for your meal. Idk if we spoke with Angel but I'm assuming so. He knew some customers by name and set time aside to talk to us and tell us more about himself and where he's from. He took time to connect with us that I think most people are afraid to do in 2024 Our waitress was the sweetest, she made sure we had everything we needed and didn't make me feel stupid for asking what botanas were. That means a total of 19/20 winning a 5 star review. I didn't get any photos (sorry im a visual eater so im sad to disappoint.) But I didn't think I was going to fall in love with this place so hard ‍

My husband & I were both so disappointed with the food. I'm from West Texas and know all about good Mexican Food. I generally believe that you can always tell a good Mexican place by 3 things: 1) Rice; 2) Beans; 3) Chips & Salsa. Unfortunately, all 3 were mediocre at best! The chips were totally stale. The salsa was overpowered by black pepper. The rice had no flavor at all. The beans were OK. I ordered the Chile Relleno and it was the deepest-fried one I've ever had in my life. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak and it was also so deep fried that it looked black! Either they were both fried for waayyyy too long or the grease was old. I will say that the service was great. I wish the food had been :-(

This is definitely a locals place. The Mexican food was authentic, chips were thick and OK but their salsa was fantastic. I had the enchilada, taco, and chile relleños plate and my wife had beef fajitas. Both plates were excellent.The gentleman at the table next to us ordered the best looking, fattest juicy hamburger that I've seen in several years. It served with big fries. It looked so good that we going back to Angels just to try one. In speaking to the proprietor, she said that their burgers are so good because that's what her husband likes to cook the most. Probably an excellent recommendation.When you show up, expect a locals dive because it's a very small and meager establishment. Service was by the proprietor only. Again, expect "meager" but very friendly. We bumped into a local there who was quite an expert on how to view the Marfa lights.Great experience!
