Venga

We visited Big Bend for a workshop, and Venga quickly became our regular spot for editing sessions, relaxing, and grabbing some food. It’s a huge restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating, plus some cool art, shirts, and camping gear for sale. The food here is amazing — I’m not kidding when I say I had their smashburger 4 out of the 5 days I stayed. It was absolutely delicious and a must-try! They also have desserts, drinks, and a lot of other great food options. The customer service here is top-notch — everyone was super friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m at Big Bend. Highly recommend if you’re anywhere near Terlingua!

This place is amazing. While on a motorcycle trip with myself and 7 buddies, we came across Venga somewhat unexpectedly while looking for a place to take a break. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the owner was very nice, coming over and talking to us about Venga. Lots of cool art and many cool things to buy! We didn’t get any food but the coffee was great!

Such a fun place! We were looking for a breakfast spot that opened by 7AM for an early drive out of town. This place is light, airy, and very unique. The food was all delicious including the breakfast burrito, smoothie, and avocado toast. Coffee was good but there is no espresso or espresso drinks, which felt surprising given the vibe of the restaurant. There are also lots of unique gifts for sale.

We hung out here every day and played cards, ate lunch, and drank coffees. What a perfect respite from the heat. This place is a vibe! The shrimp cocktail is to die for. It sold out every day we were there. Loved the shrimp tacos too. The staff was excellent!

Receptionist at Chisos Mining Co. Motel recommended this place if I needed a pre-hike early breakfast. Didn't go during hike days because this is opposite to Big Bend NP. Did go on my way from Terlingua to El Paso via Lajitas. Food is okay - I had a hot chai latte and the avocado toast. Latter was a bit smaller than I had expected, and I also thought the blue cheese didn't go well with it. The place itself is beautiful, and there's a little dog named Tinker running around. The restroom was clean and spacious. There's a lot of interesting artwork inside, the seating is also quite varied, and there are souvenirs/gifts you can purchase. The staff was very friendly. Plenty of parking outside. Total including tips and taxes came to around 22 bucks.

New coffee place in town. Impossible to resist and check it out. It’s open from 7 am till 5 pm. The building has a modern look, and has a pretty good capacity. Also offers outdoor seating. I ordered a hot cocoa was handed a “pouch” to mix with hot water. The cool thing about this place is the atmosphere, that why I’m rating a 5. The decor is cool, and there are art pieces for sale everywhere you look. I also liked the clothing they had for sale. I ended up with only one T shirt but not sure if I won’t be back for more. We came back in the morning to check out the food. Egg Benedict was delicious and the Ethiopian black coffee was great! They had a sign saying free mimosas on Saturdays and Sundays… my Fiancee had one and said that was good!

We came on a Tuesday early afternoon when most restaurants were closed, but we were able to stop into Venga. The food was delicious after long hikes and the service was wonderful. I def recommend stopping by for lunch, a coffee for a nice drive back to camp, and even some adorable merch & plants! Would totally come back again!

Interesting Building in the middle of the desert it feels like it was built to last the rest of time. We stopped for lunch my husband got fajitas me and my son got smoothies. The fajita plate came with so much food and it was all really good. I had the banana and strawberry with coconut water it was perfect.
