Their Mexican food is excellent, upscale, but the place is casual and they often have karaoke. They have a great Sunday brunch buffet too.

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 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 flour tortillas tasted like packaged Mission tortillas. However, I did see a lady making fresh corn tortillas, so maybe those are better. The steak tasted like frozen pre-cooked meat that had just been reheated in a skillet. The guacamole definitely wasn't fresh, and the cheese tasted like it came straight out of a plastic bag -- not even Kraft quality, more like Great Value. Overall, everything felt low quality and overpriced for what you get. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Very slow service - which would have been fine if the food was good but it was not. The staff was…read morevery friendly and apologized for the slow service so I'm not knocking them. I'm fairly certain everything is from frozen. There was a weird herb taste to everything...maybe rosemary? The steaks looked like they had fake grill marks on them and mine was a little tough. No "flame kissed" taste. Actually very little beef taste. I literally ate 3 bites but that weird herb taste was so off-putting that I took it home to "fix" it because at nearly $40 I wanted to try to salvage it. Same odd taste in the macaroni and cheese. It's a taste like you find in frozen diet dinners. I didn't even bother taking the Mac/cheese home. My husband had the chicken fried steak and it was okay. He finished it. I tried a piece and it had a hint of that same weird taste to me. No bread or rolls were served with the food. The iced tea was good. The back quiet room was nice. We won't go back and we're glad we didn't take guests for our first visit.
