    Doctor's Plate
    Jennifer L.

    Lots of parking with very spacious seating inside. We got the happy hour margaritas on the rocks and frozen. None of them were great. The one on the rocks tasted like straight lime juice and the frozen one had too much artificial sweetener for me. The portions are HUGE! I have never had carne guisada served with cheese enchiladas so it was a nice surprise. The Doctor's plate was really good and a highlight of the meal. The service was ok. We sometimes had to ask a couple of times for things before they would show up. All in all, it was really good food.

    Foreground:  Asada mini tacos.  Top:  Fajita taco salad with no tortillas (gluten free option)

    I had the street tacos (Mini Tacos) and she had a Fajita Taco salad (gluten free option). Service was top-notch tonight. As always, best restaurant in town. This joint is a local favorite!

    Doctor's Plate

    My relatives who live in Kingsland, love Mexican food. They stumbled upon El Bracero while we were visiting them. They suggested that we try El Bracero for dinner. Honestly, we've had MUCH better Mexican food back home! For example, their menu item, The Doctor's Plate, was a major disappointment. First, The Doctor's Plate was under the enchilada selection, that makes no sense whatsoever! It's just ground meat tossed in onions, nopales and white queso. Even when I had it with some tortillas, that didn't improve the taste of the plate at all. The ground meat was under seasoned, and there was no spice. My cousin's enchilada burrito was too greasy and falling apart. The outside and interior of this place needs major renovations. Their prices, and service is fine, but the food was lack luster. I don't believe we should come back to El Bracero the next time we're here.

    The inside of this place is pretty awful, I definitely would feel depressed if I did a dine in order. The lunch and dinner options are fine, but this place really excels with their enormous breakfast burritos. They're about five or six dollars apiece, and worth every penny because you could eat it for two meals. Very tasty.

    Tortilla soup, second time i got it.

    Served me food on a dirty dish and still asked me to pay for it. Don't go here unless you want to get sick and disrespected.

    Everything is loaded with orange cheese. It's the worst sort of Tex-Mex. If you're in Kingsland, TX you'll get much better food a Mi Pueblo

    Very good food. Generous servings! Hot sauce was great! Just the right amount of heat! Lots of filling in the tacos and enchiladas.

    The food is ok. The smell of moth balls is nauseating it ruins your food. I had to walk out.

    Ok Y'all! This little hole in the wall. My mother in law used to tell me if it looked like it was…read moregoing to be shit down soon it's gonna be good... she hit the mark with that statement on this one! For sure. Let me begin by saying that I truly believe those of you who say this place is not good either just want free food, or you're tastebuds are not werkin'! The flavor in everything.... We had the menudo, the burrito con steak plate, and the beef enchiladas... to drink we got a pina. The flavor in all of it was superb... I mean it was giving me a food orgasm the entire time! I wish I would have taken pics, but alas, I did not. This is one of the most authentic Mexican spots I've ever had, and we have had a lot. If you aren't the type who likes, or can handle, for that matter, seasoning and flavor, stay away! The service of the guys that work here was also just as good. No doubt we will return!! Probably tomorrow... haha.

    The food was excellent! I have been buying their fresh tortillas for awhile (flour are almost as…read moregood as my Mom use to make and the corn are very good) and decided to finally eat lunch. The green posole was just the right amount of heat with the fixens (cabbage, lime, onion, etc.), was delicious. Ordered the flautas and that was amazing-6 chicken filled flautas with lettuce/cheese on top. 2 types of salsa to pick from-red and green. Service was good. Have no complaints other than why didn't I try them sooner? Very good and authentic food for this area.

    Hooper's is one of the most unique restaurant experiences I've ever had!…read more It's inside the restored Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) house from the movie, and walking up to it feels so unreal. Once you're inside, you can explore a lot of the house and it blew me away how much you're able to walk around and see. There's art everywhere, tons of movie memorabilia, and it kinda feels like a Texas Chainsaw museum that just happens to serve food, which is pretty awesome. The theme isn't subtle either (in the best way). One area had a bar with a severed head behind it! There are so many little details, displays and photo moments that other horror fans are going to be obsessed with too! Even the menu is fun, with stuff like the Chicken Slaughter sandwich and the Hitchhiker's grilled chicken. I know it's cheesy, but I love it, especially when the whole place is packed with memorabilia. Food was pretty good too. The experience is definitely the main event, but the food held its own as a bar and grill, and mixing that with how cool the place is made it feel like a full stop, not just a novelty visit. Service was fine but not super standout. There were only a couple staff members actively helping people while others were cleaning up, and everyone was nice enough, just not really "above and beyond." Our food also took a while for a burger and a turkey sandwich, but honestly those are my only real complaints, and I'm only even mentioning it because I'm also here to talk about the food. It was great regardless of the wait. Upstairs has a few more Leatherface items plus some gory/spooky decor, and there's a cool little location map where you can stick a pin in to indicate how far you've visited from! They also have a creepy skin looking guest book to sign, which is such a perfect touch. One real warning though: it's an old house. In Texas, Prepare for the heat, and I mean that seriously. If you want to explore outside too, come ready. I had a UV-blocking umbrella and a face mister and I was still feeling it. Sunglasses for the grounds are a must too. Also, there's a kitty living on the porch named Tuxie, and he's a precious little buddy who loves attention. Make sure you say hi. If you're a horror movie fan or you just love weird, memorable places you'll be talking about after, this one is absolutely worth it.

    I cannot say enough good about this place. It's a little bit of a hike from Austin. However I'm…read morenoticing here everything is 2 hours from where you want to be. Anyway this is the house from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What better repurpose than a bar and restaurant. They have merch for sale at a little half bar in the next room. All the shirts are hanging in the hall when you first come in. A bunch of cool designs. Only issue was my friend is a small and they don't sell smalls. I guess it's the whole everything is bigger in Texas. He was able to get a poster though. There was a 30 minute wait but it flew by. You can walk all around the property and also go upstairs to see some life size mannequins of family members. It was such a cool experience. Staff is super nice and accommodating. So finally we get to the food. Delicious. I got the chicken slaughter sandwich. It was huge. We also got the artichoke dip that was kinda thick like cream cheese. We got fried zucchini that was delicious. You get tons of food. This place is an absolute must see if you're in the area.
