    Receipt with the non-cash surcharge not reversed after I paid cash.
    Denise D.

    I had high hopes for Anita's, but they were dashed pretty quickly. The hostess & server were great. We had a nice table, waters & chips all around & ordered within about 5 minutes of being seated. Then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. 35 min after ordering, our food finally arrived. It wasn't overly crowded, and we all had easy things. Tacos, taco salad & a lite enchilada plate. One person's food was barely warm (not good with Queso), and my pastor meat had a big glob of fat in it. When it was time to pay & leave, I paid cash for my order, then noticed there was a "Non-cash transaction fee" added. It was not removed with my cash payment. This just isn't right.

    Puffy taco. Meat was delicious. Home made tortillas.

    Drove from austin to meet family from college station. Yelp didn't give them any updates. This place is really good. Great margaritas. And our waitress Margarita was awesome as well. Fajitas were tender. Soft tacos were delicious. Could have been a little cooler in the restaurant but had a great experience otherwise. We will be back

    The Migas were absolutely on point. Sooooo delicious!! The homemade tortillas were to die for!! Huge portions and very reasonable pricing. Absolutely recommend Anita's authentic Mexican!!

    One puffy taco, one cheese enchilada, rice and beans

    I hadn't been here in several years but I was super impressed with our experience. The food was outstanding. The puffy tacos will be the thing that brings me back- so good! The queso was also great, just a bit pricey for a not very big bowl. I loved the food and our service was good. Right on Main Street, parking can be tricky to come by but if you snag a spot, be sure to give Anita's a try!

    Anita's plate, with Chicken Enchilada Verdes. Homemade crispy taco. Delicious

    The service and food at Anita's is great. I've been going there for years and it has always been the best downtown Mexican Restaurant.

    Are the rice or beans vegetarian? Typically they use chicken stock in rice, & lard in the beans.

    We use canola oil for beans

    ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING -- BEST MEXICAN FOOD ANYWHERE…read more 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. 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. 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. 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.

    The service: everyone was so kind and helpful. The…read moreambiance: a fantastic little hole in the wall with the perfect amount of lighting, low key, not too loud and very clean. The food: where to even start.....I hit the jackpot here. The salsa tasted like it was freshly made and served warm, so so good. The refried beans (which I don't typically order) were hands down the best I've ever had. The enchiladas were top notch, full of flavor and not overly salty. Honestly, I have nothing negative to say, it's a must try when in Bastrop!!

The wait staff is friendly and checks up on us regularly, They have a chalk board with specials. A nice bar - Today their specials included a $5 margarita. But I also like their generous Mexican martini (brought out in a proper shaker) and their Fridarita - an ode to Ms. Kahlo featuring hibiscus (jamaica) and decorated with a flower. It has to be the most interesting margarita I've ever encountered. And it tastes great. My wife had the menudo and a crispy chicken taco. She enjoyed both. And the taco was larger than most. I came back to my favorite here, the shrimp relleno - a blister, peeled poblano pepper (not battered or fried) filled with shrimp and ranchero sauce and served with white rice and lovely, grilled vegetables (zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, etc.). The whole dish works so well together you could mix it all up and it would still be devine. So... we keep coming back.

We were greeted and seated right away. The salsa that came with the complementary chips were outstanding. However, the authenticity and vibe were unfortunately lackluster. I ordered my meal and I told the waitress I did not want any cheese in my fried stuff avocado meal and when the meal came she assured me there was no cheese which she was wrong. I couldn't get another meal made right for some reason so I unfortunately did not finish my meal. Unfortunately, I will have to pass on this establishment.
