30 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.“

“Best food ever!! Great service!!“

“pretty dang good pastor and aguas Frescas would recommend if you want something with real seasoning.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!!!“

“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“

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

“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!!!“

“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 .“

“Todo extremadamente Delicioso!!“

“We had a good experience. I selected Casa Chapala because I could make a reservation in the event that it was a busy day. I was meeting two of my children who came from Austin (and we from Houston). The table-side salsa was great, a unique treat we particularly enjoyed. We all liked the food. I don't remember anything that was a standout (besides the salsa) but a good Mexican meal we all enjoyed.“

“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.“

“THE BEST!!!!! Great value for great food, combined with kind and speedy service. Wholeheartedly recommend.“

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

“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.“

“Great service! Amazing Food 🥘“

“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.“

“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.“

“This was the best Birria I’ve ever eaten! People were very friendly, joyful, and great customer service. If I comeback to bastrop again, I’m definitely visiting this place again.“

“i had a great experience at this chipotle thanks to zitlaly! she was friendly, professional, and made the whole visit enjoyable. it’s always nice to be helped by someone who genuinely cares about providing great service. she had such a positive attitude, and it really stood out. chipotle is lucky to have someone like her on the team!“

“Ok so I just want to give a shout out to a gentleman that works here. I have come in twice to get my boys something to hold them over till dinner. Both time this gentleman named Dylan L has bin amazing. Greets with a genuine smile and just gives off an awesome vibe. Just wanted to put that out there. There are so many complaints & Karen behavior towards service people that I felt the need to give him a proper shout out!“

“Great location. I stop just about every morning and the staff is amazing they remember me and always greet me with a smile. Morning staff is the reason I return almost every morning. The manager a sweetheart! She's so kind and always smiling. Young man at the counter is the sweetest guy! And the kitchen staff I see every morning preparing food whether I go through drive thru or order online are awesome! Never any issues with my order! Thank you TC and your amazing morning staff!“
