First time at La Cabana and the brunch did not disappoint! The food: we had the Super Breakfast plate and Chiaquilles plate. Both were excellent and we would order the same again. The bacon in the Super was served crispy (my favorite) but if you like some chew, request it. Ordered eggs over medium and they came out perfectly. We had a mimosa and frozen margarita. They were both good for a local small town restaurant. The service: EXCELLENT!! Very pleasant and attentive wait staff who genuinely cared that we were having a good experience. The Ambiance: it was a local non-assuming family restaurant. It was welcoming and familiar. It was like having a home cooked meal. We just moved to the area and happy to have this lovely place to visit and enjoy a good meal. read more

This is an adorable restaurant near the campground we were staying at. Husband read reviews and decided we should check it out. I am pretty picky regarding Mexican food, but was tempted. The prices are great. We both ordered the Super Mexican Plate, as we wanted to get a sampling of items. We were both very happy with our meals. The taco was fresh and tasty... The meat was well seasoned, and not greasy. The enchiladas were very good, they give you the option to have them topped with onions. The taquito was OK, the chicken inside was pretty flavorless, but didn't taste bad. I had the Charro beans, which were excellent. Hubby had the refried beans and he said they were very good. The guacamole and sour cream were both fresh. The staff was very friendly and service was great. We are here for another couple of weeks, and definitely plan on returning. read more

La Cabana Cafe - The Super Mexican Plate (with Charro beans) - Mexican Near Me - Lakehills, Texas

This little gem has been hidden away in Lakehills for awhile, so when I found it I was sad it had taken me so long to check it out. This is a little Tex Mex eatery with prices and dishes you hope to find in a non chain restaurant. The chips were not homemade or if they were didn't taste homemade. The salsa was hot. On my second visit I only sampled these because my first visit I filled up on them and they weren't worth filling up on unless you have room for your meal as well. I ordered the Ladies special with a cheese enchilada, a puffy taco and refried beans and rice. All of these items were delicious. They were exactly what I hoped for. The plates come with a foil rolled tortilla that I never had room for. My friends both ordered the charro beans and said they were very hot/spicy, the operative word being VERY. I like spice and mild heat so I did not try these beans, which you can order to replace refried. On my two visits we got desserts to go, including carrot cake, cheese cake, pecan pie and apple pie. All of these were very good. On our second visit the employees were cleaning ceiling fans and light fixtures while there were diners in the rooms. I commented that the dust and dirt flying around and settling on my food I could do without. Perhaps they can clean after they close. Staff was very friendly, food was tasty and quick, and price was on point. When I visit Lakehills this is going to be a regular stop for a quick bite of Tex Mex! I'd like to check out the breakfast tacos too. read more

Everything I've tried here has been soooo good! The food is amazing the sweet tea is so good and also they have really good strawberry margaritas. They also have great friendly fast service. read more

Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Chips are on the thin side, but the sala was spot on. Ordered a bowl of queso, not bad. Have had better but it was tasty. Went Wife had the enchilada plate with chili con carne and she said it was the best she's had in years. I went with the super Mexican plate and was not disappointed! Would highly recommend! We will definitely be coming back here. So glad we found this place, so far the best Mexican food we've had since moving to the area. read more

We're at a local campground and let's just say the eating choices in this out in the boonies area are slim. I like to eat breakfast out but have a hard time getting up at a reasonable hour these days! I love Mexican food for breakfast but this is the first place we've come by that served it. We still got there closer to noon but you can pay $1 extra and still get breakfast. Hubs had chicken fajitas and the poor dead chicken looked anemic. Fajitas are usually sizzling with onions etc and they are browned but not this time. My breakfast wasn't as good as I'd hoped, either. I liked the beans and the chips though. I should have stuck with my usual, but the service was really good and the place was much more charming than expected. I'd probably go back and try something else. read more

Very good authentic Mexican food here. Service was excellent too. Nice setting in a cozy environment

Great family Mexican Food. Ice tea comes in bucket size tumblers, and the chips are free and unending. The mole tends to be a tad spicy for my Grino taste, but the enchala plates are HUGE. read more

Good local Mexican restaurant that has served this area for many years. Great for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Dining area and restrooms could be a little cleaner. read more

Little gem tucked away up in the hills by Medina Lake. Mostly locals visiting but the best place along the road to get some food. Always clean and pleasant with fresh food. Full bar too and outside seating for the right season. Oh, and breakfast too, which is hard to come by out here! read more

Good food. The restaurant staff was friendly and quick. Food came fast and was hot. Large red cups are a welcome for the sweet tea. The restaurant was clean and cool, not too busy for a Sunday. Beats fast food and is worth a stop. Most meals are less $10. read more

although I have had their taco's before and they were not bad. I have just gotten their supreme burrito with beef fajita meet, now let me tell y'all this was no burrito it was a tortilla filled with meat and beans that looks like it's just been thrown in the box topped with cheese and a sauce of some sort. the burrito did not look like a burrito that you could even pick up instead it looked like a messy pancake. I thought we'll maybe it won't be bad... I was wrong the only thing I will recommend from it is the meat it was well seasoned and cooked, besides that um sorry but it was not good at all. not only was that the problem but they had also forgotten one of our tacos. read more

Great service and food! Highly recommend! We had the supreme nachos and they were the best we had since The Valley!

I always get the steak quesadilla here and its amazing! Always comes with sour cream and guacamole with rice and beans in the side. Its reallllly good. read more

I had the chicken fajitas for lunch. The beans and rice were good, but the chicken left something to be desired. The chicken was gray and looked like it was just frozen chicken pieces that had been microwaved; it had obviously not been pan cooked with the normal peppers, tomatoes, etc. The service was good and the chips were warm when served with the salsa. The tortillas appeared to be homemade. read more

My favorite is their breakfast quesadilla with bacon. Love love love them. Comes with pan fried potatoes and refried beans. Come as you are - very casual. read more

La Cabana Cafe has great Mexican food. I love their breakfast tacos and Carne Guisada plate. This is a great place to eat when you just don't want to cook at home. Family oriented. My wife loves their chicken tortilla soup. read more

Since COVID-19 this place has fallen both on food AND service. When we entered we were told to "sit anywhere ". There was only one table clean. There were three tables occupied. The rest needed to be bussed. When they were bussed, the girl used the same cloth to wipe all the tables. No spray of any kind. The food took a long time. My chicken was close to "use by" date. The server disappeared after delivering the foo read more

Good Tex-Mex food. Salsa was very good and I judge Tex-Mex restaurants highly on their salsa and Charro Beans. Any Tex-Mex restaurant that spends time producing those two staples well generally produces good food. La Cabana Cafe does not disappoint. The beans were very good! Enchiladas we good as well. Taco shells were slightly stale but all the fixins were fresh. Would do lunch there again. Nice find in a remote area. read more

Really good food. We've eaten there several time. I person love their chalupa plate. They also have really good breakfast tacos.

Wonderful local food weather it's breakfast, lunch or dinner. The staff are so friendly and fun! We go in at least a couple times a week!! We bring family every time they come to town! read more

Good Mexican in Lakehills. If you're looking for Mexican food in Lake Hills this is definitely the place. I am Hispanic and I think the food is delicious here especially the salsa and cheese enchiladas. read more

Excellent Tex-Mex food. I normally order the Chicken Fajita on corn tortillas and are always consistently good. My wife always orders the Mexican place with one enchilada and one Gordita plate. Another fav of ours. The tripa taco is like the caviar of there lineup. My wife orders crispy ones with avacado and can't get enough. They also serve a mean caldo de res with a side of rice. The chips are light and crispy along with a semi-spicy salsa. The wait staff is always very friendly and cater to all, not just locals. Good coffee with plenty of refills. Very clean restrooms and a big mirror so you can see yourself...,washing your hands. Got cha!! Oh, they also have a well stocked wet bar that we never experience because we are their around noon. But the bar awaits you so you can experience their giant outdoor patio. They offer service if you elected to eat in the outside patio during the day. We had 6 people out there one day and service was excellent. Parking is ample and safe. Take a drive to the hill country and enjoy a great meal. read more

I was told to stay away from this restaurant as it has gone down hill and gross. But I decided to try it twice and both times it was Delicious! Absolutely delicious! The tortillas are so good; and the enchiladas, rice, and beans are better than any I've had in a very long time. Highly recommend and I will be returning. The waitresses were very nice and professional as well. read more

Wonderful! Very busy Sat night of July 4th weekend. Quaint and there was something about the atmosphere that just made me happy! Extremely good service. We had delicious enchiladas here awhile ago and asked the folks at the next table where to get a good burger. She told us "Right here." So we came back tonight and she didn't lie! The BEST HAMBURGER I have had in at least 30 years! Tender and full of flavor!!! Hubs and I agree! Unsurpassed by any I've had, even in my extensive travels. Lucky me we have moved nearby! read more

Beautiful outdoor area, delicious food at a reasonable price. Plenty of space for our kids to run around outside. Margaritas were just average. read more

Not too shabby! Went here after having a terrible experience at another Mexican restaurant down park road 37. This place blew that place out of the water. First off the server was friendly the moment we walked in and quick. We were seated, had our drinks and had ordered our food all within 5 minutes. The other place had us waiting 30 minutes with not a glass of water or a menu in site. Thank goodness this place was here to the rescue! We were wanting a quick breakfast while our dog was at the vet getting a minor procedure done and this place was great. The menudo was flavorful and had lots of meat and hominy. Good stuff. My mother's breakfast plate was huge. Perfect pancakes, perfectly cooked eggs and yummy bacon. As for myself, I got a chorizo and potato taco that was so big I couldn't finish it all. Love the big portions here and the great flavor of the food. Only downside was you only get one tortilla with the breakfast plate, I'm sure you could ask for more but not sure if there's a charge and the flour tortilla was a bit dense for my liking. Other than that everything was great. Good atmosphere, good food, great sweet tea and phenomenal service. Yep! I highly recommend them. read more

Just terrible. That is all. They love to use lard and salt, or should I say overuse. Food is greasy, tasteless other than salt, barely edible read more

Nice atmosphere but the food was kind of sub par and our order got messed up so we ended up having to wait much longer than normal. Our waitress seemed fairly new. read more

Honestly, the food is subpar. I haven't had a full menu and maybe I should qualify that. The breakfast is subpar. The eggs, potatoes and beans are served flavorless. Not a stitch of seasoning on them. Why does anyone go there...is there another place to sit down and eat around there? read more

Best place at Medina Lake for a bacon cheeseburger! Great prices, and friendly service. The Mexican food is awesome too. read more

La Cabana Cafe - Bacon cheeseburger with fries. - Mexican Near Me - Lakehills, Texas

This rating is not for the food (which is great!), but for discrimination. My spouse and I have frequented this restaurant. However, during this time we arrived and wanted to eat outside. However, we were informed there was only one waiter and we would have to get our food to-go, but could still sit outside, just no waiter. We were fine with this. After we were half-way through our meal, a large Hispanic family walks in, sit down, and the waiter rushes to their table, brings them menus, drinks, and chips and salsa. A boy also comes out to clean their table. My husband and I perplexed asked "did another waiter arrive? Why are they being served?" They responded "oh they're friends and family of the owners." They acted like it was totally fine and did not get that that is discrimination. I will not be returning and supporting them. read more

Hubby really like this place last time we came. Me not so much. Thought I'd give it another chance. They brought us chips and salsa. This time I requested some of their hotter salsa. A green sauce. Ended up mixing the two for a good combo with just the right amount of heat. He ordered the same thing, two enchiladas with a chicken fajita taco, rice and beans. I tried the steak fajitas. Comes with rice and beans, a bit of lettuce and a couple of homemade tortillas. Rice, beans and tortillas were good. The steak was a bit tough and real salty, at least this visit I can't say the food was bland. Only came with onions, no peppers. I went to spread some guacamole on my tortilla and there was a huge hunk of extremely hard avocado. Pretty much the whole scoop they gave me was composed of this. Not edible. In summary: my husband recommends it, I do not. read more

Rate based on the competition. This is not the ritz. Other reviewers are basing this place against restaurants that are 30+ miles away. This is backwoods Lakehills. There is only one other restaurant in the neighborhood. Based on that, this place is awesome!!! The owner is a sweet, hardworking woman that doesn't put up with crap from customers who think they are..... um.... royalty? I digress. This is just a solid good restaurant that at times - has its issues. This is not a corporate multi-location restaurant. This is a small local place. Don't rate them the same! Anyway. I really like this place. I won't tell you all of their secrets, but the Asada breakfast taco is to die/kill for. AWESOME! Just go here with an open mind. read more

This place is great! normal prices. I had the chicken Mole Enchiladas one of my favorite Mexican dishes and it was delicious I like my mole sweet flavor to it. Rice and beans were good. Omg the flour tortillas are soooo good very soft and authentic! They have beer and cocktails .nice ambiance and relaxing out in the hill country. Breakfast is excellent also then huebner rancheros plate sooo good potatoes nice and fresh. Service was good also nice friendly. Thanks again! read more

People who work here were great, but the food is very bland. Even the peppers weren't hot. Kind of disappointed, I expected more. Beans were more like soup, runny not very thick. But, as I said the people were nice, but I came here to eat, not have a conversation. read more
