Angel's Restaurant

The BEST chile rellenos I’ve ever had! I stopped here on a road trip to big bend and I’m thankful I did! Such a gem!

Small but don't let that fool ya! I got the smothered chicken burrito, Christmas style, with red and green sauces. Great taste. Loved the seasoned rice! Prices a little higher but larger portions so no complaints. Will definitely be back.

What a great place!! We loved Donna - so friendly and immediately treated us like family. You could tell many of the patrons were regulars and there was a loyal following. We were able to walk in and get a table right away and the salsa was some of the best we had while we were there (spicy though!). Highly recommend!!

Great spot for legit food...one of the best smothered burritos that I've ever had! And amazing for the price. Big portions and great service. This is the kind of hole-in-the-wall spot you want to stop and try while traveling through west Texas!

We loved the Machaca and the hospitality of owner Daniel Silva….definitely worth the stop when passing thru Marfa!

this was perfect, just what we needed. food was delicious and our server was the sweetest. thank you!!

Some of the best, freshest and most authentic Mexican food ever. It’s a tiny neat and clean shack. Friendly service. Salsa is amazing . Both red and green sauce are fabulous. The chili replenish was the best one I’ve ever eaten. Clean plate club!!!

I struggle when I visit Marfa (typically once a year) because I see the undeniable beauty of some of the higher-end businesses and then I see what taking NYC and putting it (and an awful 'Prada' installation art piece as you drive in, which is frankly, shameful) in a small Texan town. If you Google Marfa these days it won't talk about its rich heritage and people, it will focus on the artsy types who have invaded and taken over, causing locals to not be able to afford to live in Marfa, their home town, any longer. For the years I've been coming I have seen Marfa lose some of their best restaurants but fortunately ANGEL's remains. It has everything REAL and nothing pretentious. There is something disquieting about going into Marfa and seeing all the ritzy things that were brought down from CA or NY and forget that Marfa existed BEFORE those rich people brought their toys. Angels is such an original. You get what you see. It is the real unvarnished Marfa, and we loved it. The staff are locals and they're real hard working people, it's intimate and unvarnished, it stays open late and it's got DELICIOUS MEXICAN FOOD. If you want to go to Marfa to see before the invasion and meet real people then you gotta go to Angels. I had Mexican flag enchilladas which were delicious - just delicious - I hope nobody ever makes Marfa so unrecognizable as to forget its roots - because they're the real diamond in the desert.

Friendliest 700 square feet on earth 🌍 Food is authentic big quality homemade Mexican. Family run by great folks. Had dinner there 2 days in a row on my visit to Marfa and every person in the place took the time to say hello.

Amazing flavor. We met Angel and her husband. They were super friendly and working hard. Food and overall experience was outstanding. A must stop!

The food is AMAZING‼️ We got takeout, so I didn't rate on "atmosphere," but the food & service were definitely FIVE STARS

Great salsa, great enchiladas, great staff! I'll definitely be back to sample more of what they offer!

Best enchiladas I’ve ever had. Best salsa outside of Mexico. Great place to go in marfa to avoid the rapid and unstoppable tide of Austin overtaking the city. Really set me right after a week of bad luck in Terlingua

When looking for Mexican food after our arrival in Marfa, Marfa Burrito came up but it's closed for dinner... Angel's is close by and we decided to try it out Yes, we can get great Mexican dishes in California but Tex-Mex is a different beast altogether. Definitely the sauces have more of a punch which is highly appreciated by the two of us. Combo plate and beef / chicken botanas are very different from what we're used to. Mannn, the sauce is awesome and combining the red and green pepper ones makes for tons of flavor. As dessert we had a half order of sopapillas that were sumptuous and delicious..... 9/10 on the food. Service wise, nice staff - it's a simple setup and it worked out fine at the end. Lastly, the place is equally simple and rugged which is fitting for Marfa, Just the right food at the right time for two tired travellers.

Combo #1, hell yeah! I had the christmas beef enchiladas with fresh onion and they didn't miss. Friendly and family-owned restaurant. The chips and salsa were awesome!

I went six months ago in may and I still think about this food frequently. I eat Mexican food all the time, BUT THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST!!! The owner and people there are so sweet. I would definitely reccomend Angel’s!

We loved it! Very good Mexican food. Definitely recommend. Prices were good, portions are good sized. They even make their own chicken fried steak! We also had tacos and enchiladas. I loved the Christmas sauce (half red, half green). The green was a little cheesy and sooo good. Red salsa had the perfect amount of spicy. They were busy and still provided good service with very little wait. Great addition to the area. Will return!

Delicious, hearty and flavourful food with great friendly service! We had the guacamole, Asada plate and Spanish steak (I learned it is a chicken fried steak with a cheesy green chili sauce) - everything was yummy! The salsa packed a spicy kick! Prices are really reasonable for rather large plates. Place just opened 2.5 months ago and the folks really serve great food with love! We were just passing through Marfa and looking for a late lunch at 3pm. Most places were closed but Angel and her family were there to welcome us with a great little restaurant! Must try! Will be back.

Fantastic Mexican food. Great service and friendly staff. Easy access. Strongly recommend it when in town.

We got the cheese enchiladas and the portions were a good size especially for the price. The cheese was so good, the green sauce was very yummmy. Their complimentary chips and salsa was spicy but very flavorful. Would totally visit again!

Absolutely wonderful little restaurant! Look for it next to the Dollar General. Authentic, Mexican food. The most amazing salsa served with tasty chips. Food cooked to order and served hot. Gigantic portions. We got half chile verde half asado that came with tasty rice and refried beans. Also got the beef enchiladas with half green/ half red sauce with an egg on top that also had rice and beans. The staff was very nice and attentive.

Really good Mexican food! My partner and I shared the chicken fajitas and that was more than enough for the both of us. Guacamole and salsa were delicious. A few tables inside so you may have to wait for a little bit at peak rush hours. One of my favorite restaurants we stopped at on our West TX roadtrip!

We stopped in around 1:20 on a Tuesday. There are only 7 tables inside but we were able to get one! Angel was doing everything except cooking and was very pleasant. We loved the house made salsa served with chips. We ordered the bean and cheese nachos as an appetizer. They were served hot and fresh with melted cheddar cheese, which we prefer to the cheese sauce some places use. I had the #2 plate with green sauce chicken enchiladas and a chili relleno, served with rice and beans. The green sauce is made with green chilis and cream of mushroom soup. Everything was delicious. My husband had the #3 plate which was the same but added a taco. We had enough food left for one of us to eat again!

Nice local eatery that is away from the trendy locations. I had the combo with enchilada and taco. Great place of you want honest Mexican food done right with attentive service. Don't expect a fancy meal with their simple decor and bathrooms out back. But I would come back for a quick bite.

Unbelievably great food, super attentive service and fun casual atmosphere! We are going back in the morning and I’ll post more pics! Angel’s prices are super low - especially for the huge amount of food she serves. We had the asado and chili rellenos. Couldn’t even eat 1/2 of our dishes. Our new go to when we are in West Texas 😍🥰😍🥰 Do yourself a favor and treat yourselves to some fabulous Tex Mex food at a place that actually stays open during the times when people are hungry. No days off for these guys. They WANT to earn your business!

Small restaurant that serves excellent Mexican food. I ordered a combination fajita plate. The soft tortillas were outstanding. It was tasty. The combination burrito was interesting. Service was efficient. The door is on the left of street side.

Excellent food, the chili relano was one of the best I have ever had. The owner's are great to talk to.

Stopped here for some food while driving to Big Band National Park. Awesome people and great customer services. The food was exceptionally delicious. Always love stopping by local restaurants.

Love this place! Excellent Mexican food. Fresh and homemade. Super friendly family owned business. BYOB and so incredibly delicious and inexpensive.

Generous portions, great prices, excellent service and the food was really good. They also play the best music!♥️

Quaint little place with fantastic food! They have green, red or Christmas (mix of both) for their enchiladas. Their chilli relleno was amazing! Their staff was friendly and helpful when ordering.

I struggle when I visit Marfa (typically once a year) because I see the undeniable beauty of some of the higher-end businesses and then I see what taking NYC and putting it (and an awful 'Prada' installation art piece as you drive in, which is frankly, shameful) in a small Texan town. If you Google Marfa these days it won't talk about its rich heritage and people, it will focus on the artsy types who have invaded and taken over, causing locals to not be able to afford to live in Marfa, their home town, any longer. For the years I've been coming I have seen Marfa lose some of their best restaurants but fortunately ANGEL's remains. It has everything REAL and nothing pretentious. There is something disquieting about going into Marfa and seeing all the ritzy things that were brought down from CA or NY and forget that Marfa existed BEFORE those rich people brought their toys. Angels is such an original. You get what you see. It is the real unvarnished Marfa, and we loved it. The staff are locals and they're real hard working people, it's intimate and unvarnished, it stays open late and it's got DELICIOUS MEXICAN FOOD.

Love this place! Excellent Mexican food. Fresh and homemade. Super friendly family owned business. BYOB and so incredibly delicious and inexpensive.

This tiny little place had great food! My husband loved the salsa (I'm not a big fan of salsa in general). We ordered a combination plate with two enchiladas, one red and one green, a taco, and beans & rice. The green enchilada was my favorite! It wasn't spicy, and it was sort of creamy. The red sauce has a little heat, and it was very good, too. Great taco. You can choose beef or chicken, soft or crispy. Beans had a great flavor, too. Very small place, and it fills up fast. If I'm ever in Marfa again, I will eat here!

This place is so good I went twice during my stay in Marfa, tasty food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. What more can you ask for ?! The Cheeseburger basket was great !

Food was amazing and staff was friendly. Chips and salsa were great. Also had the green chile salsa. Cheese burger baskets had crispy fries and a juicy seasoned perfect burger. Only request would be for fountain drinks rather than can sodas.

Friendly staff. Small place. Longer than normal wait for food. Food was decent, but nothing to write home about. The salsa that comes with the chips was good. A bit off putting to see their main fridge and freezer sitting next to the dining area.

Tiny unassuming restaurant with welcoming vibe- at least from everyone except the older lady with short gray hair. Lady was unhelpful and unwelcoming as you can get without insulting patrons. She seemed like she didn't want anyone to be there. Food is great. Salsa was the best I had in Marfa. Flavorful and not watered down like most other restaurants. I had a breakfast burrito and felt compelled to come back because the food was great and so was the service the first time around. Well, not so much the second time around. Unfortunately I doubt I'll be back. The lady might have been tired or frustrated, but so can everyone else that might come here for dinner. We're all trying to get a bite of home cooking with good service to FEEL like we're at home- as you're ultimately paying for it. But just from that interaction, I'd rather get a cheap burger from DQ, at least there you expect garbage food and garbage service.

It was the most uninspiring Mexican food we've ever eaten. Beef fajitas was so tough, we could not chew it. Tortillas were thick, floury and half cooked. Maybe the chef had a bad day... Drinks were not refilled, we were not checked upon. It's a small shack with limited seating. Really did not enjoy the experience.

The chili relleno tasted exactly as one would expect an 80 year old in Boca Raton, who has never made Mexican food, tried to make Mexican food. Then brought it out the next day to warm up for her grandchildren. Only she didn't warm it up in the microwave enough and the rice was actually cold.

Really wanted to like this place given the generally good reviews but unfortunately it was not a good experience. The woman working was friendly but looked like she was fighting for her life taking orders and waiting tables, chips tasted old, rice was mushy, beans tasted canned and enchilada sauce was reminiscent of sauce straight out of a red gravy packet like my grandma would get at a dollar store to cook. Salsa was good though and the woman did not charge my boyfriend for his plate because he didn’t eat it so that was nice. Unfortunately, would not recommend this place.

Had a poor experience at Angel’s tonight, even though we were excited to eat there. The service was very slow and inattentive, and the food came out very late. When it arrived, the food left a lot to be desired. I love mexican food and have eaten it my entire life in texas — so I was surprised at the quality given the high ratings. The fajita beef was totally dry and the rice was significantly over salted. The enchiladas were the best part, but even they weren’t better than Rosa’s Tortilla Factory. All in all, I wouldn’t go back — too many better options.

Avoid this hole in the wall. Never been treated so rude. Came in for lunch, was told to sit at a table. Waitress showed up and told us we couldn't have that table. They don't have a clue. We left and grabbed a burrito elsewhere. Much better service and food.
