We all grew up watching The Flintstones and maybe even taking vitamins that looked like all of Bedrock's characters. In Texas, one ghost-town restaurant has a prehistoric theme guaranteed to take you right back to those childhood Saturday morning cartoons. This quirky dinosaur-themed restaurant in Texas is worth going out of your way for. Let's take a look at the dinosaur cafe called La Kiva in Texas.

Previously used by Puebloans for religious purposes, this ancient underground chamber has since been converted into a restaurant. Few people are aware of its existence, making La Kiva one of Terlingua's most hidden gems.

Patrons enter through a giant wooden door and descend several flights of stairs into unknown territory. Who knows what awaits beyond the entrance?

The dining room looks like a replica of Bedrock City - but instead of Flintstones, you'll meet all the eccentric locals who hang out here. If the owner is around, he'll happily give you a tour of the whole place and explain its history in more detail.

Skeletons, rudimentary pots and pans, and craggy rock ceilings create a unique prehistoric vibe further authenticated by the ghost town setting. You'll be equally expecting dinosaurs and tumbleweeds to cross the road!

Private rooms are available for special events or larger parties in general. It's a perfect birthday location for kiddos who love the stone age!

Simplicity is key when it comes to the food here, a sentiment dating back to caveman days. Steak dinners are reasonably priced and seem to be the crowd favorite, followed by homemade pizza as a very close second.

After your meal, grab a drink from the bar and head into this makeshift amphitheater for some live music. The sound is incredible down here, truly mimicking the effects of being in a

cavern hundreds of feet below the surface.

Looking like an episode of Survivor, this outdoor patio can make even the coldest winter nights feel like summertime. Palm trees, fire pits, and vibrant flowers all combine to form a jungle vibe reminiscent of tropical lands before time.

To embark on this unforgettable journey back to an era before mankind, head to 23222 Highway 170, Terlingua, TX 79852. This place is so fun, you just might want to return.
