La Kiva Restaurant Bar - Terlingua

One of the best bars I have ever been in! The service was just great, thank you Chantal! The food was really good. The menu is pretty extensive. The ambience is just amazing. While this place is family friendly, it 's really a place for grown-ups. Lots of locals, and we made several new friends. While we were there, there were groups of golfers, several well-dressed seniors, a few bikers, and even a couple women at the bar in pretty revealing outfits. Everyone was friendly and engaging. From what do you ride for the bikers, to you look spectacular for the girls wearing less than they might. We 'll be back as soon as we can!

Wanted to like it. The atmosphere of this bar is cool but the service AND food was subpar, at best. I understand they are short handed, which I get. I really do I'm probably one of the most understanding people...but I waited close to 20 mins sitting at the bar for anyone to even ACKNOWLEDGE me. When they finally welcomed me and gave me a menu, I ordered a coke and ahi tuna... first off- the coke (poured from a can) was served in a well glass with ice... which is fine and all, but they literally poured the coke and didn't even let me keep what was left in the can... they kept it behind the bar to use for other customer's mixed drinks. I paid for a full coke and got maybe 25% of the total can. The ahi tuna was also super dry but that's partially on me. I shouldn't have ordered seafood in west Texas. Overall wouldn't come here again.

Service is quick. But Yelp menu needs to be updated. No pizza here. Just burgers and random dinner specials. Got the contraband with a beyond meat patty, this was decent nothing wow. My husband got the chilli burger. This was okay as well. They do have music playing in the lounge which is nice.

Salads are delicious! Very fresh. Ambiance is super cozy! Love the attentive service too!

Here is the updated menu from La Kiva. Can't find it anywhere online for some reason. They really need to fix that as lots of the online pictures show pizza, but there isn't any pizza on the menu now. We got the prickly pear and kiva ranch water. Prickly pear was pretty good, but the ranch water was way too acidic. I love ranch waters but this was too tart. The chicharonnes were delicious here. We got the chingon grilled chicken sandwich and aloha grilled chicken sandwich. Both were fine in general. The ambiance itself was the best part of this place. Not only is the inside great, but outside has amazing views. Hope they can work on a few of the menu items and this restaurant has serious potential.
