We went to La Kiva for an evening snack and a few beers. They serve great fried chicken and its just a great bar to wind down in. I'm not sure whether this is normal but they put some great rock music on the system whilst we were there. I imagine its normally country music but the rock stuff was... more

La Kiva is a one of a kind bar/restaurant in a one of a kind place, Terlingua. If you go with expectations drawn from any prior experience elsewhere you miss the point and should have stayed on Interstate 10 looking for the next McDonald's. We visit the Big Bend 2-3 times a year and NEVER miss a chance to go... more

Shortly after arrival we... more

I must say that I have never had a bad experience at La Kiva unless it was my own doing...usually involving Mind-erasers and Sotol, which are great separate, not so good mixed. The staff is as friendly as one can expect in a town populated by people on the witness-relocation program. I personally think that La Kiva presents the best... more
