First time visit. Eating late Saturday afternoon so in between crowded times. I ordered the Chopped…read moreSteak with mashed potatoes, brown gravy, and carrots with Fried Green Tomato appetizer. Fried Green Tomatoes were huge (in a good way) pieces. Fresh, hot and hand battered. Generous serving. Chopped steak was good. Mashed potatoes had the little chunks the way I like. Nice small town diner ambience. Service was good. We just enjoyed everything. Also got a Pecan Cobbler that was really good, but ate it too fast to take a picture. Definitely will return when we are in the area.

I think Chicken Fried Steak is one of the best defining dishes of Southern cuisine. I think Chicken…read moreFried Steak is an item that has kept the people of the Southern United States together regardless of interests, jobs, intelligence, and opinions. It is a unifying meal of blue-collared and white-collared people alike. It is a food that unifies the vast cultures of the south. There is no debate when there is a Chicken Fried Steak. Soul food and southern food are so severely important to people who were raised in the south because the overall feeling of those cuisines is that it feels like their Grandma is cooking dinner. Now if you look at my Yelp profile picture for a fraction of a second and maybe stereotype a little, you can accurately assume that my Grandma's cooking would fit in the latter and you would maybe wonder if my grandmother knows what seasoning is. If you have had her chili, you would say no. The famous Texan Cafe & Pie Shop in Hutto is a classic Southern diner that is always a perfect pick-me-up meal and is a truest staple of the area. When I first visited Hutto before moving I looked for places to try, and the abundant and sheer quantity of reviews for Texan Cafe made it clear that I had to try it. That was just over a year ago, and I still remember parking my car in the lot across the street and walking into the cozy diner with wood chairs and booths, red tablecloths, and so much decor on the walls it might be a museum, and I felt right about moving to Hutto. I was seated immediately and almost instantly ordered the Chicken Fried Steak smothered with white gravy, of course, with sides of Fried Okra and Mashed Potatoes. It was not long before the beautiful plate hit my table, and I destroyed everything on that plate. When I thought it was over, I was handed the dessert menu that was two full rows worth of pie and other options. I was mesmerized by the length of it and was overwhelmed by the options. I texted my parents to tell them and suddenly I was going back to San Antonio with slices on slices worth of pie for them to have. When my parents came up to help move me in, they wanted to go to the Texan. They were impressed with how great the meal was alongside the pies. Pies that they bought extra of to take back with them to San Antonio. When I started my job, the first meal they took us new hires to was the Texan. I tried their Blue Plate Special and found out that Chicken Fried Pork Chops exist and fell in love with that. When my brother came and visited meeting my parents and me in Hutto, we went to the Texan. We enjoyed their appetizers and everyone had to have a slice of pie. Options for everyone. When a friend came and visited, she took a solo trip to the Texan while I was at work then told me she took the best nap of her life after. My buddy and I decided to go randomly one day after work to try their Hot Pie with Brandy Sauce. That thing is a tank and is worth a visit to try alone. What a sweet creation. When my girlfriend visited me in Hutto, I took her to the Texan and she will randomly text me about how much she misses the pie. I try to get her a slice every time she comes and visits. It is her favorite thing. It is clear to see why it is a favorite to so many because everyone I have taken to the Texan has left a fan wanting to come back. I brought my grandparents home a full Blueberry pie from the Texan Cafe which my grandma told me "was the best I have even since I was a little girl. Not too sweet with a great crust. Just right. A blueberry pie is my favorite." I know this review is less of a review and more of a collection of vignettes of many stories built inside the walls of the Texan Cafe, but that is what is so beautiful about southern hospitality and southern diners. That is why there is so much decor about the extensive history of Texan Cafe and the culture of Hutto on the walls. I went back this afternoon for the first time in a short while, but I find myself continuously impressed by the quality of the food, the efficiency as a whole, and just how welcoming everyone is inside. Their pies are just truly next level. Today, I went for the Chicken Fried Pork Chop Blue Plate Special which is truly heaven sent, potato salad, fried okra, and a slice of their cherry pie. It is a meal you feel blessed to eat and a restaurant you love supporting because of it. Every pie I have had at the Texan is better than any other pie I have eaten. They could be a full time bakery and still be the monument of Hutto. It just happens they have food that warms your heart too. RIYL: Grandma's cooking if it was not dry

But had good flavor. Prices were very reasonable. The establishment has a neighborhood vibe as there were people eating at chatting at the counter. Good energy. I want to come back and try the cupcake or cookie. I'll reserve the fifth star until I try it again.

One of the top authentic Hispanic restaurants I've tried in Austin and now soo happy it's in Hutto…read more I mean this is the real deal authentic Mexican food. The mole is deep and earthy, the meats from chicken to beef are all chopped and fresh, the salsa are tame but full of flavor. The enchiladas are hand made and you can taste all the hand made foods. The rice is cooked well, I like how the grains are broken grain so broken rice. It has a fluffier texture. Nice tomato flavor to the rice. The beans are good. Silky and fresh. I am very impressed and the flour tortillas are hand made. The prices are also reasonable as well. Great value.

The staff were super nice and did a great job. I had stopped by for breakfast and had an easy time ordering what I wanted. Grabbed a couple tacos on corn tortillas and the order was on point.

Really glad I stopped in. The barista gave good recs and I ultimately decided on the lamba latte. The first sip was soothing for my soul They have the menu broken down to what you might like between sweets or regular Americanos/lattes. They also have pastries that I didn't try but next time I plan to! Parking was easy, and I love the style and ambiance this cafe has. I found out afterwards they have other locations and the option to call ahead, so I will definitely be stopping by more.

Absolute delicious food and excellent coffee!…read more Everything that I've tried on the menu is excellent, a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion if you're looking for something quick and delicious. The baristas are always so nice, very knowledgeable about the menu and can answer any questions you might have. There's a TON of indoor seating (no outdoor seating available). They have arm chairs, a small couch, tables and chairs, and long tables with benches which are great for families or hosting meetings. My only complaint is that their hours are so short and the kitchen closes an hour before they close. So just make sure to come well before closing if you'd like to order food. Other than that, this place is such a gem in the middle of Hutto.

Very good tex mex in a great sports bar environment! Fajitas and the spicy salsa are primo too -:)read more

Came in to grab a drink with a group of friends. requested…read morepatio seating- there was only 2 tables out there but we were told there was a 15 min wait- no problem we will grab a drink at the bar. Bartender was kind however the hutto hippo marg was not good in my opinion - I asked for don julio silver however my marg was definitely served with an unknown brown tequilla. We went to the patio - waitress was attentive but not too knowledgeable about the menu. We just ordered some apps and more drinks which is why we came. The queso flameado is fired up table side- seemed it didn't get fired up enough as it was hard to pull apart however flavor was on point . Not a fan of the salsa which came out before the food- very tomato forward. Bean and cheese nachos were decent - served constructed with 6 large chips. resturant is in a cute area and great view of the sunset but food and service could use some brushing up.

They're used to Casa Ole or some other garbage. how you judge a Mexican Food Restaurant is first by their hot sauce. At Mario's I always ask for the green sauce, it's not on the table and you have to ask for it. The daily specials on the chalk board are fantastic!! I hope I don't regret saying all of this. I want to be able to get a table in the future

The flour tortillas looked good. But I have to say these were some great tacos. I appreciate places that don't over salt their food. These were perfect in my opinion. The Tripas were had a crunch and really good. Add some of that green salsa for a little flavor and heat. This place is kind of small but I noticed the tables open pretty quick too. I'll definitely be returning to try some lunch or dinner sometime soon. Thanks for a great first impression!

I ordered a 16 oz oat milk iced latte with 4 shots of espresso and sugar free vanilla syrup, and my husband ordered a hot caramel latte with a double shot and whole milk. The coffee was absolutely flavorful. It sounds like a simple drink order, but you could really taste the love and care that went into making the drinks. The customer service was amazing too. The ladies who helped us were kind, friendly, helpful, fast, and very welcoming. The overall decor and vibe of the place was beautiful. Very elegant, clean, and thoughtfully put together. There is plenty of seating and a great variety of little bites, drinks, and selections to choose from. They also sell beer and wine. If you are in the area stop by! It's well worth it.

It's also not overly noisy, which makes it a perfect place to study, work remotely, or just relax for a while. The customer service was amazing as well. I wasn't too sure what kind of cold brew to order, but the staff gave me great recommendations for add-ons. I ended up getting a cold brew with sugar-free vanilla and a little cinnamon powder, and it turned out so good. They also offer complimentary water and even have games available if you want to hang out with friends. Overall, such a welcoming spot with a really relaxing vibe. I'll definitely be coming back!

They were probably fairly portioned but I wouldn't say they were overstuffed or anything. I got them on flour tortillas, which were, in themselves just OK in my opinion. Overall though, the tacos were tasty and hit the spot. The jalapeños in the papas rancheros added a nice spice level for me but I love my food to make me sweat so if you don't prefer higher spice levels, just get the regular potatoes. As for ambiance, this is a taco counter with an open kitchen and a flat top grill inside a gas station (inside the Valero on Chris Kelley Blvd by the KFC) so I got what I feel most would've expected there. All in all it was a pretty good hot and quick breakfast and I'm sure I'll be dining with them again since I have an office pretty close by.
