Tamale Boy has officially become a Christmas tradition in our family…read more Our first visit was Christmas 2024, and it was an instant hit. My partner in crime waited in line and came back raving, not just about the tamales, but about how friendly and upbeat the staff was while keeping things moving and answering questions. You could feel the good energy even during the holiday rush. That year we ordered the beef, chicken, and the Kadillak Lite (pork, cream cheese, spinach - sans serrano peppers), and every single one was memorable: rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Fast forward to Christmas 2025, and we were back. This time, we showed up about two hours before their scheduled opening and were offered frozen tamales since the hot, fresh ones would be sold at opening time. The staff explained everything clearly and kindly, and that option worked out perfectly for us. Our family gathering wasn't for several hours, so we had plenty of time to defrost and reheat and they were just as delicious as we remembered. This year's lineup: beef, spicy chicken, and barbacoa. All excellent. Plus, no long wait this time, which was a nice bonus. Between the consistently great tamales, the thoughtful service, and genuinely friendly staff (even during busy holiday moments) Tamale Boy has earned its permanent spot on our Christmas table. We'll be back again next year without a doubt.

The service was quick and the order took about 3 minutes. Its best if you call and pay ahead of time so you don't wait in line when you get there. There is not a big parking lot but if you have someone that can get out & pick up, it would be a lot easier. The ambiance can be hot or cold, depending when you go to pick up or order. When you get there, you have to get in-line to order and pay or pick up (already paid). Everything is done outside.

Went and did a true tapas style dinner here - happy hour was nice but some of the app plates are a bit small for the price since it got recognized by Michelin. Ambiance is perfect, nice and low lighting inside but not so dark that you can't see. Servers were very kind to us and kept our table clean after each plate was cleared. An elevated option, especially for out of towners or anyone who loves a new version of a dish

Server was nice but service was slow. We had to ask for our chips to be refilled many times. I also ordered a frozen margarita to have before my dinner and never received it. I didn't complain as I saw how busy they were and by the time our food arrived I didn't want it anymore. I got chicken 1/2 cheese enchiladas not the sauce I wanted on top but I let it be and just ate it because I was hungry. It was just okay. Our group did love the super large drinking cups and the queso! It was an okay spot but I didn't really see the hype.

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.
