Noticed this food truck in downtown Bastrop was open late Sunday afternoon, 5-ish…read more I tried the small shrimp and sausage for $15. It came with corn, potatoes, and mild cajun seasoning in a lot of butter (they had 3 or so other seasoning options such as spicy). When I opened the styrofoam container I could immediately smell that strong distinct seafood boil/bay seasoning--a good thing. The shrimp were medium. Didn't count them, but at least 8. The chunks of sausage were large, fatty. Lots of butter and seasoning to go with the boiled potatoes. The food truck plaza has covered dining (picnic benches), clean concrete floors, and a nice, clean outdoor restroom with hands-free sink (soap, hands-free dryer). Nice view of the corner of Chestnut street where it meets Main.

Typically busier during the church crowd window on Sundays. Upon entry, someone will seat you so be patient and kind. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Ordered the fried catfish platter. Plenty of food. The catfish is battered and fried to perfection. Always my go to when craving catfish.

Part One: VAST…read moreAMOUNTS OF SEAFOOD AT AN UNBELIEVABLY LOW PRICE !!!!! * * * * * You get what you pay for. * * * * * Do you really want to eat a gigantic seafood platter of tough rubbery bottom of the line octopus and macerated formless shrimp chunks? * * * * * The sauce and garnishings do not hide the fundamental nature of what you are eating. * * * * * There is plenty of non seafood on the menu. Go with the non-seafood for sure. Part Two: Other Yelp reviews rave about the fish. My co-eater raved about her chicken enchiladas. My oysters were pretty good. My shrimp were mushy because I had a marinated dish. I think the villain in the proceedings was the octopus. The octopus was genuinely mediocre. Like not wanting to finish my plate mediocre. I think if you avoid the octopus everything else they have is probably pretty good. The one land mine on the menu is one HELLUVA land mine. But all signs are that with one huge exception this place is okay.

Everything but one tiny thing was perfect…read more I had the chicken and French toast. It was so delicious! Probably the best French toast I have ever eaten. My husband had the shrimp and grits and he devoured it. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and he really liked the grits. The best he ever had! He also had a great Bloody Mary. I especially liked the salted spicy rim and pickled vegetables that came with it. We started with the shishito peppers and they were delish, but the side sauce was meh. This is a great place! Staff were so pleasant and the ambience was so charming. We ate outside. Late October in Texas is actually pleasant.

And the pho? Unreal. The broth is rich and comforting, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and every bowl feels like it was made with real care. It's the kind of pho that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is. If you're looking for amazing Vietnamese food served by genuinely lovely people, Lab C Food Kitchen is the spot. I'll be back again and again.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE -- mandatory 20% gratuity for parties of 5+, hidden in fine print on the menu…read morecover. What was meant to be a quick lunch stop in Bastrop turned into an ordeal my kids had to witness. When the surprise charge appeared, I asked our waitress where the policy was disclosed. She didn't know. Neither did her colleagues. When I asked to see it posted, a staff member threatened to call the police on us for asking. We finally reached the owner by phone, who pointed to fine print on the menu cover that his own staff didn't know existed. If you're dining here with a group, ask about the auto-gratuity before you order -- and decide whether you want to give your business to a place that threatens to call the cops on customers for a reasonable question.

So with that being said, I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and it was DELICIOUS! Definitely coming back if around the area and to try their other dishes. They don't only serve Japanese food, they serve Chinese as well from entrees to lunch menu items. Service is quick and staff is friendly. Definitely coming back for sure!

We came in there with 13 kids and she handled our party like a boss. -- Definitely recommend requesting her if you visit! Our food was hot and delicious! The soft baked pretzels were perfectly salted and had a divine buttery flavor and soft texture. The hummus is something we're still talking about! The flavor was phenomenal! Nice and bold on the garlic & full bodied with the tahini forward flavor. And the texture was very fresh and authentic to Lebanese style. Wonderful experience!

Service is efficient and nice. Full bar. Pretty good cocktails. I've really become a fan of the chicken fried chicken. Shrimp &grits is the bomb. Burgers are all pretty good as well.

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!!

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.
