Top 6 American food in Terlingua, Texas, United States
Find out what American restaurants to try in Terlingua. Terlingua (/tərˈlɪŋɡwə/ tər-LING-gwa) is a mining district and census-designated place (CDP) in southwestern Brewster County, Texas, United States. It is located near the Rio Grande and the villages of Lajitas and Study Butte, Texas, as well as the Mexican village of Santa Elena. The discovery of cinnabar, from which the metal mercury is extracted, in the mid-1880s brought miners to the area, creating a city of 2,000 people. The only remnants of the mining days are a ghost town of the Howard Perry-owned Chisos Mining Company and several nearby capped and abandoned mines, most notably the California Hill, the Rainbow, the 248, and the Study Butte mines. The mineral terlinguaite was first found in the vicinity of California Hill.

We were staying in a lodge at Terlingua Ranch and so one evening meal and one breakfast weâre gratefully received, as the ranch is a 45 minute drive from the restaurants of Terlingua Ghost town. The staff were really friendly and the food cheap and adequate, so donât want to damn but rather control expectations.We stayed here two nights and glad that we ate one night here and spent another experiencing the relative delights of Terlingua proper.

I love this place. My family and I always travel to Big bend for vacation every spring break, and this place is almost always packed to the gills but is a great experience. Live music, rooftop outdoor bar, dogs roaming, the whole nine yards. The food is awesome and the service never lets me down.

The building has good character. The food is terrific. I had the filet mignon grilled with mushrooms, green onions, and garlic. It was very good. My wife had the Pancho Villa Chicken Sandwich. It is grilled chicken with Pico de Gallo and pepper jack cheese. I know it's crazy but I liked her sandwich better than the steak and the steak was terrific. My wife also had a mixed drink they call The Scorpion. It is made with Hacienda Sotol (an alcohol made from the sotol plant). Very strange flavor but a very good flavor. Give it a try, u won't be disappointed.

Delicious food, good coffee, and fun ambiance. My only complaint is people letting their large dogs roam around unattended in the seating area while they were inside ordering their food, but that is not really the establishment's fault.
