Nestled in the eclectic surroundings of Tecopa, this bistro presents a unique dining experience, though opinions vary dramatically. While some patrons rave about the exceptional hamburgers and quick service provided by dedicated staff, others criticize the restaurant's atmosphere and an unwelcoming owner. The ambiance, likened to a past era, captivates certain visitors, but cleanliness concerns leave room for improvement. Overall, the bistro's culinary offerings, especially burgers crafted with care, shine amidst mixed reviews. Reservations are advised to navigate current capacity limits, ensuring a seat at this desert gem rife with character.

They had me at bistro , had to give it a try for Sunday breakfast. If, like me, you 've never been to Tecopa before, it 's a different experience! Hard to explain, kind of like the Haight Ashbury in the 60 's, only in the desert. The gentleman explained to me, yes, they were open, they had breakfast burritos and pancakes. I actually enjoyed the burrito, it was more the ambiance, or lack thereof, being the reason I can 't recommend the bistro. It wasn 't so much the odd characters roaming around, but that it was hard to find a clean place to sit and eat. I 'm sure its fine for some, but wasn 't quite right for us.

Owner is rude, mean and an all around negative vibe. Definetly a cute town and when you want to relax, don't go here unless you'd like to get bullied. I feel bad for his workers that have to deal with him. He is super rude for no reason, way too cocky. The meat is insanely salty, and to top it off he adds pretzel bun with no other option to give you an even saltier awful taste. You couldn't pay me to eat their burger. OWNER IS GARBAGE AND SO IS HIS FOOD! just because you have a busy resteraunt and everyone fooled with your tea light vibe, doesn't serve him the right to be a piece of garbage. 0/10
