29 Best Mexican Restaurants in Bastrop

“★★★★★ 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.“

“We always enjoy the atmosphere and the food. And Rosie is the most remarkable bartender. She is welcoming and friendly and makes a great drink“

“Absolutely amazing!! This food truck is hands down the BEST in Bastrop! The food is authentic, full of true flavors, and made with so much love. Every bite tastes homemade and fresh. The drinks(horchata, Jamaica) are just as incredible refreshing and perfectly balanced! I’ve tried plenty of food trucks around, but this one beats them all! Highly recommend stopping by you’ll be hooked after the first visit! Ms. Rita thank you!!!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Bastrop. Their food is really good everything I have ever ordered I loved and this is why u continue to come and anyone who asked me where is a good place to eat, it’s this place not only in their foods good but it’s also very affordable the service is also amazing they make me feel welcome.“

“Bacon/egg, Potato/egg, beans and cheese were all good! Also enjoyed their salsas! Wasn't crazy about the coffee, but liked the place in general. They have a creative set up and are making it work, I love this. I will definitely be back when passing through.“

“Todo extremadamente Delicioso!!“

“Amazing restaurant. Staff is always friendly. Gabriel Culiat will definitely recommend them to family and friends. Food is always made fresh and is very delicious“

“Back again, margaritas, chicken nuevo and shrimp and beef fajitas. Great as always. Secret, try the fried jalapeños and lime, Wow!“

“Best food ever!! Great service!!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“After a good Sunday hike at Bastrop State Park, this was a no brainer choice.. opted for their brunch and the only thing I wasn't happy about is them running out of flan.. lol.. saw it when we first sat down but was all gone by the time it was time for dessert.. they had a good selection of food and we were pretty happy and and satisfied with this visit.. (we also frequent the Burnet location, so this wasn't a surprise at all).“

“Wow! The food is delicious ! Amazing seasoning and great service.“

“Super Rica Comida 100% recomendado ! Mi Comida favorita el las quesabirrias ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Place looks nice but really poor(sorry) costumer service! I was waited to be seated for about 30 minutes until I decided to leave. And it wasn’t even busy.“

“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.“

“Love your Bastrop location, and your Wednesday deal is unbeatable. Congrats on the new place, eager to try it out.“

“We decided to try out Costa Azul today and it was quite impressive! Amazing menu items that I look forward to trying at future visits. They also have lunch specials! And… the sweet tea was PERFECT!! We will definitely be back.“

“Great service! Amazing Food 🥘“
