Juan Carrasco Mercantile in Balmorhea

Stopped by since another burger stand was closed. Great chef Robert told me what he had and didn't have, fed my family of 4 and the inside is SO spacious that we never had anyone with 12 feet of us. The food was fantastic, fresh and great folks. Highly recommend you stop in and you will be so pleased you did.

Great value. Large servings. Handcut fries and sweet onion rings.

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Two big screen TVs. Have been here twice and both times the food was great (BLT, Steak & Shrimp).Plus they have Ice cream!

As many Americans, we have some food allergies. So we tried asking about food ingredients and we were rudely told they don't serve people with allergies and their food was fine. We were then invited to leave. Worst response we've ever had to the allergy question.

Depends on who helps you gone in for 3 different meals. Each time easily $20-$45 bill. Burger fries and ice tea will cost you $20. Foods good but not that good.

Oustanding food and service!!

Great food.. music is way way to loud though

Friendly service and people, breakfast was delicious. Service was a tad slow but I think they were short staffed. Best sweet tea we've had around here! Definitely recommend, we WILL be back!

Food is good restrooms are disgusting service takes a while and keep eye on your tab I got over charged.

Good food, good service...Nice and quaint...

Good food, takes awhile though

Fun place!! Great food, atmosphere and service!!

Perfect place, tasty food, huge portions :-)

First ever going... And I enjoyed the service and the food... The place had a good sports vibe... The young lady whom took care of us was excellent... Serving breakfast all day is great.. can't wait to try something else..

Great pizza.

Ordered the BLT and onion rings. Fantastic. Was also served chips and salsa. I'll go back just for the salsa. Its very good. Ask for Jade as your waitress. She's really good and very polite.😊 Sierra is also an excellent waitress, very cordial and friendly. So far, in my opinion it is the best place in town to eat. Great menu selection and I believe they have some type of breakfast and lunch buffet on weekends. I will definitely be back.

Always great but don't be in a rush!!! It's not a fast food place... and we are very lucky to have it in Balmorhea!!!

If you're in town stop by. Get the tacos before they're sold out. Ice, beer and fuel. Best little shop in town.

Delicious and savoring food. Menu only had one issue, Everything looked good. Proportions to price is excellent. Definitely will be eating here again.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff! The chicken fried steak did not disappoint. Chips were a bit stale but salsa had good flavor.

Recommended by the Park Rangers at Balmorea State Park for breakfast. Not disappointed. Super friendly owners. The Huevos Rancheros was amazing. New Mexico flair added. Some of the best I've ever had. Pancakes were huge and flavorful. Crispy hash browns and bacon. Can't recommend highly enough.

Good place and great people

Great food!

Service and food was great. Food cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed the food and service.. we hope to visit again soon.

Great little hole in the wall place. It exceeded my expectations. Great place great ambiance! Will definitely come by again when in the area.

This is the best pizza I have ever had here in West Texas. The serve a very well prepared cowboy cut Ribeye on the bone. It has a great old feel about this place. Total surprise love this place.

The food was amazing! I ordered the breakfast special and they were out of syrup, but the cook had someone bring a brand new bottle for me, without being asked! Delicious food, great service and great atmosphere. Worth the drive!

The most tender T-bone my wife and I ever had. We shared it as it came w 2 sides we got french fries which were fresh and a loaded baked potato. The staff was so very nice!

Friendly people, and the best beer selection you'll find for miles. This is always a stop on any roadtrips I take!

The service from the beginning to the end was, for lack of a better word, poor. I literally refilled my own cup with tea twice as well as helped myself to a fork and knife. Family and I thought it was a good idea to have lunch as we were staying at Balmorhea State Park, but totally disappointed. Our oldest son didn't receive his plate until after all of us finished our plate. I shared my experience with some gals at the gas station and they weren't surprised stating "you never have good experiences there". Food was mediocre and overpriced. Noodles weren't cooked thoroughly, meat was tough as leather, brisket was cold....avoid yourself any and all frustrations and go elsewhere.

Rob made us an excellent Mexican style steak dinner! Great salsa, great people!

Ate there a week ago. Waited about an hour and a half for our food which was mediocre at best. One meal was an obviously frozen chicken patty and pasta. There was one couple when we arrived and a three top arrived after us. Inexcusable. Incredible that they are even open much less have good ratings.

Wonderful, fantastic breakfast. Generous portions, crispy bacon, crispy hash browns, definitely worth the stop.

Their Burrito's Are Excellent!! Saw this place on "The Day Tripper". Excellent Atmosphere!! TV's all around. So if your traveling thru this area, you can stop in Eat & Catch The Game!! Definitely Stop If Your Passing Thru!!😁👍

Great beer selection!

First stop over for our motorbike escapade...such a lovely place to treat yourself and get full. This place has a great atmosphere with a very friendly crew. We fuel ourselves with good food and they gave us very generous portion that made us so full. Burrrrp! I've got chicken alfredo for brunch.

Good store, nice people.

Excellent food, hell of a wait regardless. Well worth it, however.

Great small town place!! Excellent food and friendly service

Excellet food! Steaks are the best! Family friendly! Great service!

Used to stop here and grab burritos every time we’d go to Mexico when I was a kid. Awesome memories and I hope to go back here soon!

Authentic small town good,pleasant people.

Absolutely love this place. Robert ordered a specific steak for my husband for his Valentine's present and he enjoyed it so much! Thank you Robert!! We will be coming back!

Easy stop for ice and drinks. Not usually crowded.

Horrible food and totally overpriced. We got pizza and it was something like $30 for a large pizza. I'm pretty sure it was some frozen pizza they just heated up or at least that's what it tasted like. It really was some of the worst food I've ever had.

Food is fantastic service really really nice it's just one of those throwback mom and pop places that you just love to be at

Best darn burritos anywhere!! Love the Asado Burrito. DELICIOUS!!

Great food. We always eat here when we are in Balmorhea. Wide variety of food and an excellent beer selection

The prices are a little high but the food is good and the service is very friendly. Good comforting atmosphere. Really like the place.

Excellent food and service. Will definitely visit again to try another great dish!
