Ramona Tejada, the owner, was a cute middle-aged woman with glasses and a
woven sun hat. I ordered a cheese-and-egg burrito. “Huevos con queso,” I said in
my survival Spanish, and she smiled. There were three other women cooking in
the kitchen. One man, sitting in the corner, sorted red chilies.
We took the day to roam around Marfa, stopping at the Food Shark
(https://twitter.com/foodshark), a food truck that’s a bit of a culinary institution
and a great spot for people watching. You can drive through Marfa in a blink of

an eye, but you can’t miss the mix of urbanites and folks who, I’m guessing, were
transplanted from hip, urban spaces; people with purple hair and horn-rimmed
glasses clomping around in muddy cowboy boots.
