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. As Texas Monthly noted, this is ‘the only place in town to get espresso, cappuccino, and other specialty coffees,’ making it an essential stop for coffee lovers and morning diners.

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. Cold brew provides a smooth, refreshing alternative for warm West Texas mornings. Speciality drinks like mochas and flavored lattes satisfy sweet teeth. 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.
