It's hard to keep a small town Steak House running and profitable... Bob's has been here and doesn't disappoint! The owners have been life long residents of Milam County and used to run the Texan Cafe that closed after decades of great food and success. I have a picture of Mrs. Wanda Elliot... If you've lived here long enough... you might be able to pick her and others out of this crowd. Thank you Wanda and Bobby for giving Cameron a great place to eat, dance, play pool , watch sports and live music from time to time. You guys are loved!

My burger was delicious...juicy, packed with fun toppings, and I was quite satisfied with my meal. The price tag was steep. I don't think a burger that cost a total of two dollars to plate should cost 11 dollars. That's a pretty hefty margin. Save the margin for the alcohol. Give a good deal on the food.

If I could go negative stars I would.

Has anyone ever asked you…read more "How would you like your tripas?" * * * I will admit, when I was asked that question at Taqueria Banda's I had no idea how to respond. I had to ask what the options were. The choices were "Soft, Medium and Crispy". I went with Crispy. I was having a Tripas Burrito. The burrito was absolutely positively marvelous. * * * Taqueria Bandas is an uncompromising Mexican-style Mexican restaurant. It draws a huge crowd. That crowd is overwhelmingly Mexican or Central American. On the Sunday I was passing through Rockdale, Lots of Mexican restaurants were open for almuerzo. The parking lot of Taqueria Bandas was packed. There was only a smattering of cars at the rival establishments. The knowledgeable crowd was clearly giving Taqueria Bandas a big thumbs up. * * * They don't offer tripas at most Mexican restaurants in Austin. I thought at first this might be because Rockdale is more Hispanic than Austin. A quick look at the population statistics showed the two cities are about the same. Rockdale has a slightly bigger percent Hispanic than Austin - but not by much. So if Rockdale has an uncompromising Mexican restaurant that can offer you choices on how you like your tripas, This is because Rockdale has at least one set of great entrepreneurs. The owners of Taqueria Bandas are doing a terrific job. * * * For what it is worth, Taqueria Bandas is also a fun place to hang out. I couldn't drink, although I would have liked to. (I had three hours of driving still ahead of me.) They did have a women's beach volleyball championship on TV. Your stereotypical Mexican restaurant TV show is Mexican or Spanish league soccer. Maybe American baseball or football - or in a few cases Spanish language music videos. The other TV had car racing. Actually, most of the patrons were watching the car racing. I was the only volleyball fan in the room. * * * Different menu items? Different preparation of those items? Different things to watch on TV? This is a distinctive, high personality establishment. The next time I pass through Rockdale, (and I have business that takes me up 79 now and then) Taqueria Bandas will be for me, a destination establishment. * * * Tip: If they ask you how you want your tripas, Say "Crispy".
