Marfa

Cajun & Creole

(From January 2012)

You could be forgiven for thinking Padre’s is just a funky music bar, since the first thing you see is a stage sprouting mike stands. But it is definitely worth dropping in for the bar food, which nods to both sides of the Sabine River with Cajun gumbos and Frito pie. We decided to sample the vegetarian curry, a really good combo of carrots, peppers, celery, and squash in coconut milk over rice. The menu called it moderately spicy—we shudder to contemplate very spicy.
