Across the US you can usually assume that a restaurant serves good grub if you see police officers eating inside. In Marfa, the predictor of goodness is the Border Patrol, and you'll find them chowing down (along with everyone else in town) at this simple place, where big burritos earn high praise. Look for the hand-painted sign outside. Cash only.
