La Cantera Mexican Restaurant

Amazing service, so attentive! Our waiter Veronica was on top of refills and bringing us more chips and salsa before we ran out! She was so kind and accommodating, and gave us great suggestions. The food was also delicious and very reasonably priced. We had lots left over.

My favorite restaurant in Lockhart. The staff are so friendly and remember you and your order, even when they aren't your waiter/waitress. Feels like home every time I visit. I love love love their enchiladas and their breakfast tacos are always a hit with my family and friends. They have great specials throughout the week that are affordable, too.

The hospitality was 💯 and the food was great.
We had caldo de res, beef & chicken fajitas, and carne guisada.
The homemade harina tortillas were absolutely delicious.

The only thing I hate to mention is the price of the drinks. I paid $9.74 for two bottles of Mexican sodas (Jarritos). Leaving there, I went to HEB down the road and bought a 2-liter Jarritos for $1.87.

That said, we will definitely return for the food — we’ll just skip the drinks next time.

Thank you very much for a perfect dinner with my father.

This place knocked my socks off the first time I visited, so I had to return two weeks later to make sure it wasn't just a dream. I'm from a small town, and I love small town restaurants. There is nothing like the kind friendly folks and atmosphere that can come with a genuine place that the locals flock to eat. That is not always the case, unfortunately. In this case, it is exactly what you expect. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is cozy and makes you feel like home. Then, there is the food. All that stuff is great, but if the food is lackluster, it's all a facade. La Cantera is the real McCoy. From the table salsa and chips to the entrees and sides, they nail classic Tex-Mex. I had a gordita plate with one shredded chicken and one groumd beef the first stop. My wife had the chicken enchiladas verde. All superb. Second trip I had the poco de todo. Yes, a little bit of everything, to check out a variety of items. Taco meat is seasoned so well, and the red enchilada sauce is smooth and packed with flavor. My wife had a chicken quesadilla which was large enough that I managed to get part of as well. My wife normally doesn't care too much for refritos and arroz, but these are so good, she ordered a side of each. I'll keep driving a half hour from the house to eat here as long as they are in business. The accolades and awards on the wall tell me that it will be for a long time. Maybe, I'll just move closer to Lockhart and become a local.

Wonderful, quaint local restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, great service, and excellent food. La Cantera is the kind of place that evokes longings-some days you wake up craving their distinctive flavors. I’m a fan of their Huevos Rancheros, although other options are also delicious. Always good!
