La Kiva Restaurant & Bar 23220 Farm to Market Road 170, Terlingua, TX 79852

"This place was super cool and the food was amazing!! I got the Cajun-smothered catfish on mashed potatoes and every bite was the best southern food I’ve had in a long time. Took me back to my childhood! The shiner was cold and for some reason extra delicious. My friend got the fried shrimp platter which was perfect cooked. There were two adorable puppies that were well behaved and remained outside the restaurant. We sat outside and the views were gorgeous. A must-see during your Terlingua trip!"

"Loved this place. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was different but I loved it. Like walking into a cave which I think this is what they wanted to accomplish and they did . The lighting was perfect. We did not have to wait to be seated and our food we couldn't believe how fast we received it. I definitely recommend this establishment."

"Came here for the different atmosphere and it did not disappoint. You forget you are in the middle of the desert. But more importantly, there were really good food selections with everything from chips and guacamole to burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, steak, fish...and a nice drink selection also. Great service, food came out really quick, and they are always checking on you."

"Good service and great food - specifically their burgers are fantastic...! My Contrabando burger was perfectly cooked and delicious. Side note - upgrade to the chili cheese fries, it is worth it and highly recommended..!"

"Had dinner on a Thursday afternoon. There were many cars in the parking lot but when we went in we were immediately seated and there were other empty tables available as well. Service was good. Placed our order and food came out quickly. Our waiter forgot to put in our appetizer order but that was ok, we had plenty of food! I had the Terlingua 2 step burger. It was really good but could have used a bit more sauce. My wife had a chicken sandwich (Kiva Pollo) but she said it lacked flavor. The fries were great! La Kiva was the best dinner we had in Terlingua."
