Espresso y Poco Mas
Espresso y Poco Mas (Espresso and a Little Bit More) is Terlingua’s premier breakfast and brunch destination, offering quality coffee and creative morning dishes in a charming setting at La Posada Milagro Guesthouse.

TripAdvisor reviewers consistently praise the quality and atmosphere, with one noting, ‘Everything we had was wonderful — we came back multiple days. Amazing Reuben, perfect bespoke breakfast burritos, and all kinds of coffee — both cold and hot.’ Another guest raved, ‘Fun, delicious restaurant in Terlingua, and apparently is THE place for breakfast.’ Customers appreciate the ‘surprising’ opening on Christmas morning and the ‘great options for breakfast and coffee drinks.’

Quality Coffee in the Ghost Town
Espresso y Poco Mas serves expertly prepared espresso drinks that rival those found in major cities. The espresso machine produces rich, crema-topped shots for cappuccinos, lattes, and Americanos.

The café also offers loose-leaf teas, hot chocolate, and fresh-squeezed orange juice.
Breakfast and Brunch Excellence
The food menu offers creative breakfast and brunch options that draw customers back again and again. The Poco Mas Breakfast Plate features two eggs cooked to order, served with beans, meat (your choice), and fresh tortillas. Breakfast burritos are generous and flavorful. Eggs Benedict receive creative interpretations. Sweet options include pancakes, French toast, and pastries. The migas have been praised as ‘another favorite’ by returning guests.
Charming Ghost Town Setting
Espresso y Poco Mas occupies a beautifully designed space at La Posada Milagro with Mexican-inspired decor featuring colorful tiles and warm woods. All seating is outdoors under cover, providing protection from the elements while allowing guests to enjoy the desert environment. One reviewer noted the ‘spectacular views’ and mentioned watching ‘roadrunners run about’ during breakfast. The fire pit adds warmth during cooler months.

Explore More While You’re Here
Espresso y Poco Mas pairs naturally with some of the most popular destinations in the Big Bend region.
Big Bend National Park
The West Entrance of Big Bend National Park is just an eleven-minute drive away, putting scenic drives, hiking, and canyon views within easy reach. From there the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive, Santa Elena Canyon, and the Chisos Basin are the usual first days in the park.
Big Bend Ranch State Park & Lajitas
Big Bend Ranch State Park sits about 11 miles away, and Lajitas is roughly 11 miles down the road, both offering more ways to extend your time in the region. The River Road (FM 170) between them is the drive people plan a half-day around.
Marathon
Marathon is about 65 miles away on US-90, a historic railroad town of galleries, lodging, and a quiet main street before the park. It is the usual overnight on the drive in from the east, and a good reset after days in the desert.
