Restaurants in Van Horn

“Sopapillas are excellent here! Must try them.”

“My salmon was delicious! Wish this place was closer to my home!”

“Ron is awesome! Nice coffee but mostly the conversation and personability!”

“Had botanas with avacado on top. They make sure you are well fed here! That is pretty much the only vegetarian option, but its great! I also had a side of guacamole that was excellent. Good people here!! Highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend the hotel. The front desk staff were exceptional. Very accommodating and friendly. The room was fabulous but the restaurant service was probably the worse we have ever had. It was downhill from the minute we were seated. I have been putting off posting a bad review thinking that I might change my mind, but as we continued our vacation I was reminded at each restaurant how good customer service should be and it only reaffirmed how bad we were treated here. We sat down around 845pm . The restaurant closed at 10 so we knew we were good. After 20 minutes and no one coming to take our order or offer water etc, I went to to the hostess to ask if we could place our orders. After another 15 minutes and 3 other customers coming in and having their orders taken did I again go back to the hostess to ask what was going on. She went to talk to a waitress and the hostess relayed to use that our waitress was not available and would be there shortly. So we waited a few minutes more and that same waitress that told the hostess to tell us our waitress wasnt available came to take our order claiming that because we were seated behind the column in the restaurant that she couldn't see us. But she saw us many times as she went to help the 3 other people who came in after us. We finally placed drink and appetizer orders only to get very weak bar drinks and missing an appetizer that we had to remind the waitress that we didn't get. After what seemed like forever, our food finally came and yes she said they are training 4 new people in the kitchen but the food was barely passable. Ribeye was too salty. Salmon dish had no flavor. My sons hamburger was the only hit. The waitress apologized at one point during the night and said that she would comp us desserts so we thought, well thats cool cause we were already going to get dessert anyways. At the end of our meal we waited again patiently for her to come around and take our order and I had actually gotten up to go find her and she met me halfway and had 3 desserts in hand. Said she was bringing them to us but they were not desserts we were planning on ordering. So we told her what we wanted and she went back to get those which we asked her to put to go since we weren't going to wait any longer. And the kicker... while we were still eating our dinner, another female started cleaning up the restaurant. This isn't bad, I have been in restaurants many times where the table service is cleared off before the room is cleared but this female started mopping right around our table with a pinesol type cleaner and it was very pungent. That smell is okay when you are cleaning a room, a house, a bathroom but when you are trying to eat your food but all you can smell is pinesol, its not a pleasant thing. The waitress ended up taking 20% off the bill but this was by far the worst restaurant experience I think I have ever had. I rarely complain but this experience was that bad. Yes, stay at the hotel but avoid the restaurant if you can.”

“Jefferson Tours stopped here and received excellent service great food and delicious ice cream and milkshakes.”

“Nice and friendly employees! Delicious pizza with fresh ingredients! Glad we stopped here.”

“This place blew me away. When we first pulled up I said who would ever open an Indian restaurant in middle of no where TX. And my fiancé said it’s so smart there’s so many Indian truckers. Once I went inside I looked at the line and it smelled amazing. So I ordered food and it was the best Indian I have ever had. It did take forever, but the food is to die for.”

“Great place to eat in Van Horn. We had a party of 11 and the food came out fast and it was very tasty. Our group had pizza, smash burgers, and the Buffalo chicken sandwich. They all loved the food.”

“We were the first people there ordering food, so service was good. We didn’t have any issues. When I tasted my sandwich, I noticed the bread tasted a bit old. My husband’s sandwich was fine $30 for 2 foot longs”

“Great little rest stop for food. 👍”

“Every time we've eaten here, the staff was very prompt and friendly, and the food is excellent. My favorite Mexican restaurant!”

“This is a truck stop location, so drive smart. The food was fast and fresh. The employees were friendly and helpful. The lobby could have used a sweep and table cleaning, but giving grace there's quite a bit of traffic. If you find yourself looking for a bite to carry you into San Antonio stop in and grab some saucy nugs.”
