“Such a great anniversary dinner tonight. We were so impressed with the food, drinks and service. We will definitely be back again.”
“Neighbors is such a great place to dine with family and friends. Service is wonderful and food is delicious. Gabriel Culiat will definitely recommend them”
“I’ve been there many times over many years. This review isn’t based on one visit. They are friendly and consistent. The prices are fair and the quality of food is to par. They hire hard working locals that have their livelihood invested in the community. Just keep in mind that when your bill is low because of the menu prices, tipping more than the minimum keeps the employees a little less stressed in their personal lives as well as happy at work able to serve you better. Everything I’ve tried on the menu is good”

“Just had a chicken salad sandwich on chibatta bread. Fresh and deliciously seasoned. Thank you!”
“★★★★★ ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING — BEST MEXICAN FOOD ANYWHERE If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I’ve traveled all over Texas and across the U.S., and I can say without hesitation that Las Cocinas Mexican Grill is hands-down the BEST Mexican restaurant I have ever been to — and that includes all of Austin. My family and I come here several times a week, even though we don’t live close by. That alone should tell you how incredible this place is. Must-try favorites (do NOT skip these): 🌟 The Margaritas – VERY strong and absolutely perfect. Order them half & half (half on the rocks, half frozen). Trust me — you’ll thank me later. 🌟 Nachos Al Carbon (Appetizer) – The beef fajita meat is out of this world. Tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. Get it with extra sour cream & fresh jalepenos 😉 🌟 Beef Fajitas Cremosas (Entrée) – Get them with EXTRA sun-dried tomatoes. Oh. My. God. I have never had anything like this in my life, and it’s something I crave several times a week. 🌟 Stuffed Jalapeños – So good I sometimes order them as my entire meal. And the onion rings they’re served on? Easily the best onion rings I’ve ever had anywhere. I love ordering a big plate of onion rings with extra ranch. 🏆 🌟 Cheese enchiladas!!!! They have the best Mexican rice & refried beans that I’ve ever tasted. Beyond the food, the staff is absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like family — warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy you’re there. That kind of service is rare, and it’s one of the many reasons this place is so special to us. They are family owned and operated! And yes — I always forget to take pictures of my food because I eat it before I remember to take photos for a review 😂. That should tell you everything you need to know about how good it is. We are incredibly thankful for Las Cocinas. It’s not just our favorite Mexican restaurant — it’s our favorite restaurant, period, and the best in the entire area by a mile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect in every way.”

“I had the gyro and feta omelet after a discussion with Ryan (barista) about "keeping the menu Greek" WWOOWW!! not just so, so, so good! but so, so, so, so Greek!! -- then the dude brings me a complimentary bite of an upcoming menu item: avocado lime zest toast. I am undone. If you haven’t yet, you have to try this place!”
“After being clients of Roccos for almost 4 years, last night we had a really bad experience with the owner “male”. I was 5 minutes late to pick up my order after closing time and he told me in a unfriendly tone “I put your order in the garbage” with his back turned and locking the door he said nothing else. He could’ve handled this another way, to me that was very unprofessional and I felt discriminated for being hispanic. Ourselves and other friends won’t be going back to this business.”
“Hands down one of the best coffee shop experiences I’ve had! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming — you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. The breakfast croissants were absolutely perfect — warm, flaky, and flavorful. The coffee hit the spot too — rich, smooth, and just what I needed to start the day. The whole place has a cozy, family-friendly vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend!”
“Stopped in on our trip from MN. The Bloody Mary is amazing. Whiskey flight was as top notch as their friendly service. Live music and crafted cocktails topped it all off. This place is a must visit if you’re in the area! Can’t say enough good things about them…”

“Ordered 2 bags of Texas pecan grind 2.2lb bags of coffee. It will not disappoint y’all. The pecans can be tasted in every swig but doesn’t over power the coffee. And when I say it’s the freshest coffee possible I mean the beans in my bag were fresh roasted the day I purchased the bags. 10/10 will be buying for my work coffee from here on out.”
“We've been going here for years. When they started out in the big red building, then moved across the street to the old Shady Oaks building then to the old computer shop where they are now. Sadly the quality has continually dropped. We go for breakfast and most often the food is put on cold plates. Several times parts of the order is missing and shows up at the end of the meal. Charmaine was the head waitress for years who seemed to keep things going in order but she's no longer there.”

“Sunday I woke up craving some authentic Mexican food, particularly a gordita, and found this hidden gem! I’ve lived in Bastrop for 2 years now and am disappointed that I’m barely discovering this place. The Gordita did not disappoint!! The meat was tender, juicy, and delicious! My wife enjoyed her street tacos, the Al pastor was her favorite! But it was the quesabirria that stole the show! The dipping juice was so flavorful and they gave us plenty of it! They were sold out of the tripas when we went so def will be going back to try that! Friendly service and delicious food! Can’t beat it!!”
“I usually like Papa Murphy's pizza it's just been my last 2 visits. Bacon Chicken Artichoke first it had too much creamy garlic sauce so I haven't been in awhile tried my luck today. The crust wasn't the lite crust I usually get. It was thin crust which is too thick. It had way too much cheese and sauce 😫. I like extra thin with more veggies the crust was tuff so I felt it was old. I get so tired of spending my money and being disappointed and I was leave a tip.”
“While I was waiting for my peach cobbler and ice cream, Bonnie came over to serve me with the biggest smile on her face. She took the time to share a few stories about her life and offered words of encouragement that truly brightened my day. It’s not often you meet a server/waitress who genuinely sits down, asks about your life, and makes you feel seen. Miss Bonnie was a bright light on an otherwise gloomy day. She was kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. I’ll definitely be back to see her again before I head home to my home state. The bbq and mac & cheese was also delicious here!”
“Typically eat dinner, but went in to try their breakfast. Not as good. I added hashbrowns to my order, and to my surprise and disappointment, received a potato pattie. Like they serve at McDonalds. After seeing my brothers potatoes, I asked for a side of those and mentioned I was disappointed about the hasbrowns. She agreed, but charged us for both sides. I will not return for breakfast.”
“We ordered a taco it came out small the manager was coming around checking on everything and we just mentioned it come to find out they had used the wrong tortilla. She had new people in training she had a discussion with them the taco came out and they are so full and packed and delicious. Her response her smile and her attitude makes all the difference in this place”
“Excellent place , the food is all fresh and really good quality I can't believe there's a place like this in Bastrop!! It's one of my favorites now , they are open until really late at night 11-12 !! Finally a place where you can go at night and treat yourself to a place that it's really worth it.”
“We had pineapple rice, Tom Kha, Broccoli stir fry, shrimp spring rolls and Khao Soi. Dessert: Mango, sticky rice and coconut cream. All hot. You chose your level of spicyness. Medium was perfect. Loop 150 at 95. Near the hummingbird statue. Tell your friends. I can not wait to go again. Excellent!!!”
“pretty dang good pastor and aguas Frescas would recommend if you want something with real seasoning.”

“We just moved to Bastrop from the DFW area . Looking for breakfast tacos on our first Saturday in the new place and came across this place... Papusas were AMAZING! Breakfast tacos were awesome, too.. A very short wait, but well worth it to enjoy fresh Papusas...”
“Overall I am happy with the store but the meat market and curbside service needs to step up their game. I got 2 packages of cube steak and one looks like thin cut chicken nugget sized pieces and the other is normal sized and thickness. The cutter should have known better and the person who worked the order should have known better Also, the meat dept seldom has more than 1 or 2 choice packer briskets. They will have 8 or 10 "wagyu" and Prime briskets but those are sinificantly more expensive.”
“If you want a smile on your face in the mornings or any other time, go eat at her trailer. Clean place and the best darn Big tacos too, not skimpy like a lot of the other trailers . 1441 and Green Valley on the corner. We’ve eaten there many times, she also makes tortillas .”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lab C. The staff is so friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the food… the food is absolutely phenomenal!!! Whether you dine in or take it to go. I get the beef stir fry plate and sub in fried rice. It’s amazing, and I crave it way too often.. Eat here! You won’t regret it!!!”

“Had them today and was very impressed with their lemon chicken. Definitely worth it! And the amount of food was pretty good size!”
“Food is great ordering online is a pain, it was easier when they used to take phone orders..”

“My wife took me to this gem for my birthday. They were open for takeout only, but when they learned it was my birthday, they brought us inside, and Giovanni served us personally. The combo gumbo was absolutely DELICIOUS, and my wife had a superb catfish fillet sandwich with onion rings. If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, do yourself a favor and experience the best food in all of Bastrop.”

“The food is always good here and the service as well but sharing so people are aware today was a very bad day. Got served by a gentlemen today, very gruff, not pleasant at all, seemed very put out to serve us. He dropped the food and never came back We went to check out and he just said $40 which was odd. He charged us $40 so I asked for an itemized receipt. it was $39.02. He would have gotten a much better tip had he been honest.”

“I highly recommend stopping and grabbing a drink from Sunshine Sisters Coffee. Sydnie was a perfect blend of professional and friendly as she took the orders during the bustle after a local event. I enjoy a good lavender London fog, and their sunshine milk (cream with touches of vanilla, toffee, and white mocha) was a nice addition to a long time favorite drink. My children, budding connoisseurs of cocoa and Chai lattes, also really enjoyed their beverages. Next time we pass through, I am definitely stopping again.”

“Jeremiah’s Italian Ice never disappoints! The flavors are fresh and delicious, the staff is friendly, and the service is quick. I highly recommend the Mango layers ice cream the perfect combination of tangy mango Italian ice and creamy ice cream, making it both refreshing and smooth. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating area, and my pup even got a small ice cream treat for free, which was a nice touch. A great spot for a sweet treat, and I’ll definitely be back!”
“Hands down I love this place the smoothies are very delicious and refreshing and the staff is always very friendly and helpful in my selection of smoothies and if something goes wrong they are quick to fix it and I also love that everything here is way healthier than the other options in the area so if you are hungry and don't feel like making a chicken bacon ranch flatbread stop by and let them make it for you I would of took a picture of my sandwich but I ate it lol”
“When in TX, you have to have some BBQ. So I stopped in Smokey Mo's. Definitely did not disappoint me. I tried the half chicken with coleslaw and pinto beans. The coleslaw was so so. The chicken and pinto beans were awesome!!! You get enough chicken it could be 2 meals. It was tinder and tasty. Definitely will try other meats while in town. The staff was super friendly.”
“We typically enjoy this breakfast spot off Main Street. A little disappointed with our most recent visit. The flavor was great but I ordered a bacon burrito and there was only one piece. Doesn’t seem like enough for $11 burrito. Coffee and pastry were good. Hope this was a just fluke and they add more bacon throughout the burrito next time. We will still give them another shot!”
“Amazing brisket! Easy to get to and great staff 😙”
