Delicious food in an inexpensive, funky restaurant. We spent the night at the adjoining La Osa Flojo hotel (same owners), which is charming and unique - a really great place to stay in a teeny town 4 miles off the interstate. Well worth the extra time to get there, and much nicer than the hotels in the towns right on... more

Great food and atmosphere. Food is a reasonable price. It's not a five star restaurant but it's definately one of the best places(and the only places) in balmorhea. La Cueva De Oso or The Bear Den has a cute small town mexican atmosphere although the place is a bit tattered. I would definately reccomend La Cueva de Oso to anyone... more
