👋 Nicole here, with a sandwich recommendation.
I recently spent a long weekend in West Texas. It was my first time in Marfa, and we enjoyed three days of great food, shopping and looking at the stars.
We ended the trip in Big Bend, where we hiked a couple of trails, including the Santa Elena Canyon, and spent a night in Terlingua.
While all that was incredible, the real highlight of my trip was a sandwich.
Dig in: We grabbed lunch from Bordo, an Italian deli in Marfa, which makes sandwiches on their own wood-fired, in-house sourdough bread.
I can't stop thinking about that day's special: a roast beef sandwich with a creamy horseradish sauce, arugula, lemon, basil, topped with shaved parmesan cheese.
Their menu changes frequently, but I have no doubt that it's all delicious. We sampled three other sandwiches and loved them all, along with fettuccine alfredo pasta.

Six-word review: So good, we ate it twice.
📍 If you go: Bordo serves lunch Thursday through Sunday, 11am-3pm, or while supplies last.
The shop usually has a line out the door and sells out of sandwiches fast. It's worth getting there when they open.
