We enjoyed our meals... more emphasis on the enchiladas. They were delish. They do not have a liquor license yet; however, you can still get a margarita with a "donation". We would visit again when in the area to try other items.

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!!

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.

Had to wait because they were out of chorizo eggs. The bacon was not great it was hard and tough. The chorizo was not greasy at all(that's not good). I really could not taste it. The rest was just bland in general. The green sauce was spicy. It's like a verde salsa. It was the best thing about this place. The red was ok but too tomatoey. The set up inside was chaotic and disorganized. Hardly any drink selection. Staff was friendly. Over all it was not terrible but it fell way short of it's reputation

Service was good. Friendly waitress. Food came out fast and was exactly what you would expect - beans eggs and tortillas. In my opinion the tortillas were too thick but they were home made. If you want a little taste of a small town family run Mexican restaurant give them a shot. If you come with fancy expectations you will be disappointed.
