I love the Dr. pepper cowboy taco, and I also tried the mango shrimp taco this time. They are very filling so after eating those two and a few chips and salsa I was totally stuffed.

The staff here are helpful and friendly too, and there's plenty of parking, pretty clean bathrooms, and plenty of tables to sit. I don't come to San Marcos much but this last time I went I definitely had to make a stop here on the way back to Austin :)

I ordered the bacon burger, seasoned fries, and a strawberry lemonade. The burger was juicy, well seasoned, and really good. The fries came out hot and crispy, with just just. Enough Cajun seasoning. The strawberry lemonade was sweet and tangy and comes with free refills. You can also choose strawberry, mango, or classic lemonade. The building is pretty big with family-style tables. We had a group of eight and were able to sit together by adding a chair at each end of the table. (All of my friends have "restaurant names" which I have never heard of.) After you place your order they call your name when the food is ready, and they may even bring it to your table. The staff were friendly and helpful. I liked it so much the last time I came here that I ended up trying their Austin location later. If you're in the area after the river or just craving a good burger, this is a solid spot to try.

And yes I called it Cane sauce, reason being is to shame, the service was lackluster, no care, quiet quitters. I loved the chicken here better than Raising Canes, but the service was so bad I'd rather go to Raising Canes. Sad. Thoughts of American Business practice, hiring bad managers, low pay, the question: What is the factor in caring, a few dollars more? These are the things you would rather not think about during mealtimes. Maybe the New Braunfels Laynes will do better.

We chose to sit outside and order a variety of tacos- they are small street tacos. You get to choose from chicken, carnitas, bistek, and more. We ordered the tacos as specials which means they come with queso fresco and avocado. We also ordered an agua fresca - lemon water and it was so good. The only item I would not recommend that I ordered is the elote (corn in a cup) . It was cold and had so much lemon in it. Overall I recommend making the trip. The place is fun and vibrant and I love that you can sit out in the open and enjoy the sunshine or the option to eat in your car. The staff checks in on you often to make sure you have everything you need including salsas or napkins. The price was 4 tacos for $9.50. Drinks and sides are sold separate. The menu also includes a lot of other options so visit if you can!

The kids and I decided to do a mini road trip to go to Cane's. When we arrived it was clear other people had Cane's on their mind as we could see several people inside from our car and though there was a line for the drive-through we opted for it. We had a few straightforward choices and not a long complicated menu that required extensive discussion. We all agreed on the same thing and the order was placed and our food came out pretty quickly. As we drove away, we had to do a taste test in the car-our order was correct and the food was hot and fresh. The chicken tenders were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The fries were crispy and the Texas toast was a nice addition. Their coleslaw is also good but the true star as it should be was the chicken.
