Marfa My Dear
Marfa Stark and plain and sad and gorgeous.
El Cosmico Friendly and lonesome at once. Amazing desert plot with yurts, teepees, restored trailers and tent camping. Dog friendly.
Fat Lyle’s Food truck. Nice tomato and cucumber sandwich and naughty brussel sprout french fries; both to die for.
Pizza Foundation Thin crust pizza by-the-slice in old refurbished gas station.
Q Cafe Amazing morning grits bowl. Try it veg with avocado.
Cochineal The used have awesome little low key breakfast here. Not sure if they still do. Kinda fancy at night but very good. Minimal and open.
Lost Horse Saloon Locals’ watering hole.
Frama, Plaine, and Tumbleweed Washing machines, coffee, and ice cream. I’m in love with this.
