Marfa Burrito
Ramona Tejada, the 'Burrito Queen,' makes handmade tortillas in her home kitchen, and it is considered a must-stop for visitors to Marfa.
This small shop on S Highland Ave is actually the family kitchen of owner Ramona Tejada. She and a few helpers hand-roll flour tortillas every day and fill them with eggs and Mexican chorizo, potatoes, beans, cheese or stewed meat. Customers order at the half-door of the kitchen and take their own plates and utensils from the cabinet. The walls are covered with photos of Ramona with celebrities including Matthew McConaughey and Anthony Bourdain, and the entrance railing is covered with diners' signatures. It is open only from early morning to early afternoon (about 6:00–14:00, Monday to Saturday), and there is often a line. Older reviews mention cash only. Burritos cost about $7–10, and it is a walk from downtown.
Opening hours
