The atmosphere at Margaret's is lively, and menu items are always changing but incredible!

Stripe's
109 E. San Antonio St.
Open 24/7
Yes, this is a gas station, but they seriously have the best fried burritos! It’s also always open, and as you might learn, the hours for most Marfa restaurants are “suggestions.”
Where to Drink
Cactus Liquors

Marfa’s best liquor store - well the only one. They have a large selection of spirits, beers, and wines that rival those you find anywhere else.
The Capri
603 W. San Antonio St.
5pm - 12pm
Come here for a cocktail and you will feel like you are in a bar from a big city. The interior is dark and modern, and there are plenty of places to gather outside. Since, it will be cold in November, they should have their numerous fire pits going.
Lost Horse (The Pony)

This is definitely a dive bar. Go for the experience and stay for a beer or two.
