Just as world-renowned artists have flocked to MARFA, so have chefs, making this tiny town in the desert a foodie destination. The list of dishes served in MARFA restaurants runs the gamut from miso-glazed black cod with seaweed salad to giant burritos served out of a small house. Come with a big appetite and consider progressive meals to experience it all—a pizza parlor, wine garden, and hip bars. Many of these spots have garnered national attention, and for a good reason.

The list of places to eat in MARFA is ever-changing, so you can return to your favorites while discovering new spots on each visit. Homemade falafel, freshly-rolled pasta, Swiss chocolate, vegetarian chili, and cheesy enchiladas have all been enjoyed on tables here—a toast to a gorgeous stay in West Texas at one of these outstanding MARFA restaurants. Cheers!
