Welcome to Casa Cielo, Marfa Texas!

Casa Cielo Marfa is our little vacation house in Marfa, Texas. David and I bought the house at the end of 2009 with the intent of spending much time in the area. It is also available for short-term rental during times when we are not using the house. We list it on VRBO.com. We have a direct website as well, at DiscoverMarfa.com.

Marfa is a fascinating place, full of great things to see, do and eat. It is a city of approximately 2,000 people in Far West Texas. Marfa is known for its art, music and great restaurants. Aside from being a great destination in its own rite, it is a great home base for visiting Big Bend (both the state and national parks), as well as the many other state parks in the area.

I hope you enjoy my views (and reviews) as we discover this wonderful area. Please feel free to add your own thoughts. Comments are most welcome!

Marfa Hot Spots: Food Shark



Food Shark is one of Marfa's most popular restaurants. Funny thing, is that Food Shark is a truck, which parks by the railroad tracks each Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 to 3:00 PM. There is a basic menu of Mediterranean fare, including hummus, "Marfalafel" and then a specials board each day.

Today, David had a sandwich of egg and bacon on ciabatta roll with a slice of frittata. Yesterday he had pork tacos with salad. I had a delicious sandwich of two cheeses, prosciutto, and sauteed brussels sprouts and leeks. This is not your normal truck fare!

Food Shark now features a dining car: A converted school bus painted in gray with the interior converted to bus seating with tables, and a cactus in a tin can on every table. Ambiance is everything, well ambiance and delicious food, and Food Shark does it well.
