Broadway Café

We stopped at Van Horn for lunch on our way to Big Bend National Park and we decided to try this place. We ordered Bean and Cheese burrito. They serve complimentary Chips and salsa as well. Both the burrito and chips/salsa were delicious. On our way back to El Paso from big bend we again stopped here 😀. This place is close to I-5 and would highly recommend if you drive through this area. This Cafe does have drive-thru as well.

Such good food!! I’m glad I was able to stop here on my way to California. The server and staff were so kind! The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. Some family members met me here while I was traveling. We all were so happy that we were able to patronize this restaurant. I look forward to coming back here again!

My friend and I came in to eat after a full day of hiking in Guadalupe Mountains National Park. This cafe did not disappoint. We were immediately greeted by the staff with a warm welcome. They were friendly and provided quick, fantastic service. They anticipated our needs every step along the way. The food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the beef enchiladas which were full of flavor and hot! I would highly recommend the Broadway Cafe.

Absolutely amazing food! The portions were perfect — enough to satisfy without feeling overdone. Everything tasted authentic and freshly prepared. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a true taste of authenticity!

I ordered the tampiqueña ribeye steak. It came with beans, rice, and two red cheese enchiladas. It was a good sized portioned plate and was delicious! The service was excellent, Cynthia was very attentive and nice. 11/12/2025 Update: I ordered the chicken fajitas and a side order of green chicken enchiladas. Both were a good potion size and very delicious. The green chile sauce on the enchiladas was amazing. They served the food quickly and were very attentive

A low-key spot for Mexican food, with great (spicy) salsa. Their green chile sauce is the best, so be sure to order something with it (their chicken enchiladas are popular, but their burritos are good too and you can order it smothered in the green chile sauce). I got the chicken fajitas, which were yummy and well seasoned. Don't be afraid of the note on the menu that says they come with 1 tortilla, mine came with 4. Very reasonable prices. The tortilla chips are also fresh and delicious.

We went in and no one welcomed us other than some customers that were eating there. I had a brisket taco plate that came with three soft tacos that had lettuce, cheese, brisket and a side of rice, beans, avocado, and lettuce. The brisket was delicious. Husband had asado plate that came with rice, beans, and beef that was spicy. He said the flavor was ok… one child had a kids hard taco plate that had ground beef and cheese. It had a side of rice and beans. It was good. The other child had the chicken taco plate that came with lettuce, a little cheese, a side of beans and rice. The chicken flavor was not the best. Their rice is very delicious like homemade. They do charge a credit card fee based on your bill. Overall not bad. Their restroom is next door at the laundry mat which was very clean. Customer service we give it a three because they were not very welcoming when we got there and they could be a little friendlier. Wait time for the food was not long. Overall not too bad.

We stumbled across this place while looking for a quick bite to eat before checking into our hotel for the night. I googled and it had good reviews and thanks to the pictures online, we were able to view the menu ahead of time. The staff was super kind. The inside was small but homey. Not over crowded, quiet ambience. I ordered the cheese enchiladas with rice/beans, with the green sauce! 10/10 I also got the chips and their hot salsa which was delicious. My husband ordered the Buffalo Chicken sandwich with chips and he said it was delicious. We ordered the chicken tenders and fries for my daughter and she was a happy camper. For an appetizer we got the mozzarella sticks and they tasted freshly made, not just frozen ones cooked up. If you're passing through Van Horn and need a quick bite to eat, I highly recommend this place. I know we will be going again the next time we are in town.

Stopped here off I-10 looking for a meal. We ordered green enchiladas and chile rellenos (and asked for those to be covered in green sauce too). The food was fantastic--the green sauce is absolutely phenomenal! We asked the waitress how the sauce was made and she confessed that the cook won't share her recipe. Heck, I wouldn't either. It tastes like somebody's family recipe that they're keeping under lock and key. Also, we noted the refried beans were very good. They tasted fresh, not like they had been sitting in a pot for days. Don't be turned off by the appearance of Van Horn. It's a hard-scrabble looking town that must have seen better days. The restaurant itself is humble, but very clean, sharing a building with a laundromat. That being said, I appreciate small, locally owned businesses as opposed to chains. Broadway Cafe appears to have a lot of business from travelers as well as locals, and does a respectable amount of carry out and drive-thru orders. When I see locals eating somewhere (and they all seem to know each other), I know I've found a gem.

Nice little cafe. Enroute back from Big Bend to El Paso, you will most likely pass the unassuming town of Van Horn. If you're in a mood for a bite, be confident that the food and service at Broadway Cafe is pretty darn good. It's not a big space, but the cafe next to the Laundromat is clean and simple. I ordered the combination plate that came with a side taco (ground beef), choice if enchilada, rice, refried beans, and pork green chile. It was very good Liz enjoyed her enchilada plate - the enchiladas have a cheesy hatch flavor. Noah had a kids taco plate which as almost as big as my combination plate. Noemi had a bean and cheese burrito. The service was good and friendly. If you pass through VH, then consider Broadway Cafe.

A nice spot off highway serving American and Mexican food. We had an enchilada plate and a BBQ brisket sandwich. The Mexican was of course fantastic, the brisket was chopped uo instead of sliced but it hit the spot.

Food was good, served hot and fresh! Our server was attentive too. The ambiance was nothing special but it was clean with cute Knick knacks! It was also pretty busy so I think that says a lot about a place!

The staff was friendly and the food was excellent. Definitely, would return if we were passing through.

Nothing to conplain about. The food I ordered was a simple dish in its nature so nothing I can say about it was supposed to be mindblowing, but everything tasted clean and fresh and delicious enough. The staffs seemed to be agreeable and pleasant people

Ate here a couple of days ago. I had the Chicken Picado. Absolutely delicious. Wife had the cheese enchiladas. Absolutely the best i ever tasted. Cheese sauce was to die for. If we're even through here again I'll definitely stop in for those. Employees were super nice, too.

Arriving here at 2:30 checking reviews of other cafe's and found this to be open with favorable reviews. This was a wonderful find. Clean cafe with restroom next door at their laundromat also clean. important things to us so goes the kitchen. Our food was hot and delicious. I had the Gordito plate and husband enjoyed the smothered burrito. We both very pleased!!!!! Traveling on the road this is much appreciated

Cute place that is off of Broadway street. It's a good stopover place. The brisket tacos were good and the enchilada was yummy. The steak wasn't a favorite, but the place is affordable with great service.

Traveling east from Arizona, our stay was in Van Horn. While we were planning to eat much sooner than Van Horn, I could not find a restaurant that was open and intrigued me, so decided to eat here (just a few minutes from our stay). We were pleasantly surprised. It was easy to get to. The food? Delish! Hubby had beef fajitas. I had the chicken fajita quesadilla. If you're in the Van Horn area, this is a "don't miss" stop.

This is a great, little family owned restaurant having Seafood, American and Mexican food. We ate here while traveling from Kerrville to Las Cruces. Finally, a Mexican restaurant like the ones we had in LC when we lived there. Delicious homemade salsa and chips with no cilantro in sight. While the rellanos were not smothered in green chile sauce like in NM, I found I perferred the combination of crispy coating and plenty of flavor from the cheese and chiles of them. And our server was great. Under $34 including a $7 tip for 2 of us.

Service was great. Friendly and great atmosphere. Canned Soda and bland food, small portions and not worth the price. McDonald's will get you a better deal. Nice but not worth it.

Amazing Little Place. Husband got the Tampiqueña & I got the Chicken flautas. Both plates were Very good, tasted like grandmas cooking!! Definitely recommend

Right next to a laudryman and it is very close to i10. We probably will stop by again on our way back.

If you're into West Texas Mexican food , this place delivers . It's hot , spicy and delicious . It's run by the grandmother , but the granddaughters are waiting the tables . I highly recommend this place !

This lil cafe was wonderful! Great service at a much needed location stop. The cheese enchilada was delicious especially the creamy sauce!! Cute cozy cafe w the restrooms next door w a key access. If in this area, give em a try and enjoy!!

excellent salsa & the BEST cheese enchiladas! both red & green sauces were delicious. a clean, cute & inviting small cafe. great service. [we were just passing thru Van Horn & took a chance on this place. If I lived close by, I'd definitely be a regular customer.]

We stopped by on way from California to Austin looking for a breakfast. It was only place open and we weren't sure about it because it was in middle of nowhere. We've ordered cheese been burritos and hash browns and man it was so fresh! Now wish we tried something else. Servers were so nice too. And it only cost us $25 for 2 people

I've been wanting to try this place since people kept raving about it, and I'm glad I was in Van Horn recently to do so. The prices are reasonable. People eating there were raving about the green Chile chicken enchiladas, which I wish I had ordered. I ordered a cheese enchilada, a beef brisket taco, and some rice and beans. Because that was lunch and dinner, I was still hungry, so I ordered a flour tortilla and pecan pie and ice cream. That finally did the trick.:) I ordered off menu and the entire meal was roughly $17 which I thought wasn't bad including a drink. I think next time though I will order the green Chile chicken enchiladas because that's what is popular. The woman who ordered it said her brother-in-law was Mexican so she had high standards. So, if she liked it...:) Overall, it was just what the dr ordered so I left satisfied.

Good food for a quick dinner! Quick service and friendly staff. Good Mexican food and a descent American food menu but this close to the boarder, I needed to try out the enchiladas.

Walked in the front door and was surprised with a very nice looking dining area. They had real dining room tables and chairs, checkerboard tile floors and a really nice lunch counter. The service was excellent and I'm glad they let me sub the fries for a small salad. I had no idea it came with rice. My son loved his nachos. The restrooms were next door in a super clean laundry mat. Only thing missing was paper towels to dry your hands. They had That 70's show on the tv and I laughed a lot. It was just a very pleasant stop for lunch on our 12 hour drive. Oh and have cash because they charge extra for credit. I'm glad I had cash.

High recommend stopping!! If you can't stop, call in an order and pick up from their drive through! It's delicious, and fresh!! It's a beautiful restaurant, and the owner is amazing!!!

Amazing little cafe! After being on the road for hours we just wanted something besides fast food. This cafe had the most delicious crispy chicken salad and the allowed us to park on their lot with our travel trailer while we ate and rested.

Green chili putting this combination plate over the top! Switched cheese enchilada for chicken and wow! This is my new favorite stop on the way to El Paso! My server...Isela was very kind and helpful. Great service!!

The restaurant has had some recent changes including their name to Broadway Cafe. The menu has been downsized. There is no breakfast menu. I had a cheese quesidilla which was probably one of the best simple cheese quesidillas I've had. Topped it with their guac, sour cream, & salsa. It surprisingly filled me up. Service was good. Restaurant was quaint & clean.

Hidden gem is right! This little oasis offers up very tasty TexMex/New Mex cuisine and very friendly service. Called in our order, chicken verde enchilada plate and salad with grilled chicken ( they happily subbed Fajita chicken for fried on the salad). Limited dressing options, but hey. Recommend if you're hungry driving from Austin to El Paso. Can pick up your order at the cute little drive thru window on the side!

Loved the food and the service! They were super friendly and it was a perfect stop on our trip!

Great food, the chips and salsa was really good as well. The place seems new and the staff was very friendly.

Cafe was clean, fast professional service and the food was excellent. Nothing greasy. The young servers even gave a "you're welcome" in response to a thank you. No one said "not a problem "!!! Refreshing

Place was clean and cute. Menu was small but filled with LOTS of options. People were nice.... When you saw them. There for about 10 minutes before order was taken (we did receive chips salsa and water) we ordered and it was a a full 30 minutes or more before we received our food. Brisket tacos were tasty with beans and rice. Green chili enchiladas were tasty, but let's be real..... that IS NOT green chili. It was a light green cheese sauce. Not what we wanted, but again flavor was good. Only 3 stars because of the wait and the complete detachment of staff. As we left there was not even a goodbye as the employees were on their phones. I would try again if we were in town and would hope they improve.

We stopped in Van Horn on the way back from Mexico, and decided to try this place for dinner! I was a little skeptical about it at first, but left with no regrets and a great experience. The waitress was incredibly kind and quick to take our orders & get our drinks. As a vegetarian, it's usually hard to find places that will accommodate to this but Broadway did without hesitation- and the food was delicious. It came out very quickly and fresh. We ordered quesadillas and taco salad, both were tasty and fulfilling. We ordered the apple pie and ice cream for dessert and it was to die for. I would have supersized it if I could have LOL. The previous night, we stayed in a five star hotel in Mexico that had a restaurant inside and the food & service were just awful. Broadway is just a tiny diner and is ten times better than that place by a long shot. I would strongly recommend coming here and if I'm ever in the area I'll definitely be back!

My husband and I were passing through town and ate here last night. It was really good! I got a taco salad with rice and beans and it was phenomenal

Delicious green and red enchiladas. It's a tiny place next to a laundromat. Hole in the wall and so good.

Stayed here for one night on my way back from WDW. Had zero expectations, my steak fajita was quite tasty and the girl that helped me was super friendly. Goes to show you, don't judge a restaurant from it's exterior appearance.

Excellent Mexican restaurant, with very friendly staff! The locals know it! It's a must!

had lunch here last year - in town again and came for dinner!!! Amazing - so homey and food is incredible- order the chili verde (beef) - red beef enchiladas were excellent as well the gals working were so friendly and nice

Old dinner feel, black and white checkered floor Green chili chicken enchiladas were very tasty, although the food could have been a bit hotter, not spicy hotter but rather stove hotter Service was on spot

Texas high school football fans can attest to the fact that eating out in the opponent's hometown can be sketchy. However, The Broadway Cafe was a win-win situation. The cafe was small, but exceptionally clean. We were welcomed by friendly, fast service and enjoyed talking with our waiter. Homemade (very hot) chile & chips were delicious. My flautas were nice and crispy, but would have been better with some cabbage, chile, and white sauce. Tried my granddaughter's cheese enchiladas and wished I would have gone with that. Our family group of 5 were pleased to find that the food was more Tex-Mex than NM-Mex, iykyk. Definitely will return if we find ourselves in Van Horn again.

On my way to Mesa. I spent the night in this little town and based on reviews I came here and was not disappointed -great food and welcoming atmosphere.

Driving through the small town of Van Horn and decided to try Broadway Cafe. We had brisket burritos and a bean and cheese with bacon burrito. My husband and I cut them in half to share. The food was very good although I'm use to tacos and they are not called that here, they are called burritos. Tortillas were homemade, but as big as a plate. Waitresses are very nice and all the locals who walked in all knew each other, even the owner came out to say hi. Kind of like the movies. Really nice humble place. I don't think they had a restroom though. All together we had 3 burritos, my husband ended ordering another brisket taco with onions, peppers and tomatoes because it was so good. Coffee was delicious and they even had vanilla cream. We paid around $40, not too bad. If you're ever passing by the town of Van Horn be sure to stop by for lunch.

Best road food in I10. Truly home made Mexican food. Very small place but friendly. Green chile is a must.

Great food both times we ate here, as we passed through. Service was very good-very kind.

We were looking for a quick dinner after a long day of travel and like to support local business. The green chile chicken was a treat. Fast service and tasted good. Very casual atmosphere.

Food was excellent! We got takeout to take to our hotel. Green chicken enchiladas and chicken picado were so good, we cleaned our plates. Chips are thin, and salsa has a kick. Service was kind. Inside of restaurant is clean and modern.

Poor service, We waited over 30 min due to two other tables got served before us who showed up after we did. Manager was more concerned with drive thru customers before dine in. Made a nasty comment to us as first come first serve which did not happen. Portions were very small rice and beans for the price. Do not recommend!

This is a hidden gem. I tend to judge Mexican restaurants by its salsa. This one was on point ! I didn't have to ask for a hotter salsa. It was just right. All homemade. Service down home Texan great!! Home California take note!

Made a quick stop here on our way back to California and it did not disappoint! Great food, quick service, well priced. Good portion sizes and flavor was perfect.

Not many options in Van Horn. Glad we stopped at the Broadway Cafe. Small and pristine place. Friendly people. Menu centered mostly around Mexican food, burgers and a few fried items. Also have a kids menu. Food came out steaming hot, which is soooo rare these days. Enjoyed the 3 chicken enchiladas with a creamy green sauce. Good rice and beans. Chicken flauta plate was tasty. Parking in front. Also has a drive-through. Clearly a family busy you should support.

Yum yum yum! This place is delicious. Get the #1 it is spectacular. If you're passing through give it a try.
