    Fajita trio. That is steam coming off the food.
    Scott S.

    Haven't eaten here in a while. Still good. I think we got the same thing a year ago. And they play music now.

    Enchiladas!
    Ricardo J.

    Stopped here for the first time today while on a road trip. The food was ok - the salsa and chips are average as were the beef enchiladas and sides. What set this place at four stars for me was that the service was excellent and friendly. Thank you, small-town Texas. The prices, too, were extremely reasonable on the lunch specials. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again but I wouldn't be mad if I did.

    Authentic and delicious! A wonderful place to come into town for. The chips are crispy & thin and the just-made-salsa; a perfect start. I dined on the beef burrito and chicken chimichanga; part of their many choices for the combo meal. Both were fresh and tasty with tender meat inside and topped with delicious, homemade sauces. My friends, who I accompanied (Biil & Janet), are "Regulars" here and it's easy to see why! In a town replete with a pretty good number of Mexican restaurants, this is the one to go to! Great food and great service too. They're military-friendly too...thanks and Semper Fi! El Jardin...thanks for making my visit to the exciting, yet peaceful town of Hamilton, TX even more memorable!

    Great service! Salsa was good, not the best...but still good. My dinner was fantastic-shrimp diablo. I'd definitely go again!

    El Frias has been in Lampasas for a year or so, but since we have four other Mexican restaurants, I…read morehaven't tried them yet. I arrived about 1:00 pm on a Tuesday. After the lunch rush there were only two occupied tables so I was seated immediately. The server led me to my seat, handed me a menu, and asked me what I wanted to drink. I chose water with lemon which was quickly brought along with chips and salsa. The salsa was flavorful and not too spicy. I ordered TexMex Enchiladas from the lunch section of the menu. My food was brought to the table surprisingly fast! The beans and enchiladas were hot. The rice was a little on the room temperature side but still warm enough not to complain. I finished my food pretty quickly and lingered a bit munching on chips and salsa. No complaints from the staff. I asked if they happened to have churros and they do! The server said that they come four churros to an order so I asked for an order for dessert. The churros took about 7 minutes or so to cook. They were served extremely hot since they just came out of the fryer. They were served on a plate arranged like a hashtag with five dollops of whipped cream. The plate was sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with honey. Each churro was filled with a cream custard. They were very tasty! Total came to $22 with tip. Not too bad these days!

    Service is horrible. No one to greet you or seat you. Very uninterested in helping you. There…read morewas no one there it was empty. One employee.

Flavored or regular. Woo hoo!!! The first time we went I got the brisket tacos. The flavor was great and the meat was tender. The second time we went we got the chicken rice dip. Wow who would have ever thought to put Mexican rice topped with queso and fajita chicken meat. It was delish!!!! They served it with tortillas and chips. I loved it. I also tried the new fajita nachos. It was absolutely amazing as well. We also got the fajitas for two the last time and it was so much meat! The meat had great flavor. It was so much food. Our only complaint was that it literally came with 4 small tortillas and when we asked for a couple more they were going to charge us. There was no way even if we filled the tortillas to the top that 4 would be plenty. It's a pretty small space, but every time we have been there we didn't have to wait. That isn't saying that there wasn't a bunch of people, I am simply saying we picked good times to go. Ha ha The wait staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Overall it has been great experiences.

Our waiter was good but his English was not so good. But that's fine. He tried really hard. I was a little disappointed in the food. I got Supreme Enchiladas and my wife cheese enchiladas. It was pretty good but not the best I've ever had. It just didn't seem all that spicy. Hard to put my finger on it. Coming from South Texas we are used to spicy Tex-Mex. They do give you large portions.

    Over in the area for a country drive, did a quick Yelp check for a good Tex-Mex place for lunch…read more More than one review mentioned "locals like it", and we were sold. Plenty of parking, right off the main road, and more room inside than it appears. Waitress was on the job, excellent friendly service, was right there to take drink orders, and checked up on us throughout the meal. They were actually standing there waiting for us to sit with the chips and salsa. Definitely had the look of a local favorite, we were there after the lunch rush, I'm sure it's packed on weekend nights. All the food came out really fast, but was all fresh, tasty, and hit the spot. The menu had tons of variety, will take multiple visits to work through. That Texas staple, sweet tea, was especially good, had a lot of flavour served in large glasses. Would almost be worth stopping in during the summer just for some of the tea! Really nice space for a meal, and very friendly service!

    We were in Gatesville for softball and wandered in this little joint…read more It's legit! Four kinds of salsa The verde and Diablo are fantastic but wait, if you mix them they are close to perfection! Such nice sweet waitstaff. They indulged my Spanish and so move to my daughter! Over two days, We tried hamburger, queso, chips and salsas, migas were heavenly, beef fajita plate, chicken tacos Refried beans were excellent They serve cold beer too Ambiance was acceptable Simple decor with nothing crazy Tables Booths A drive through Very busy place so the locals are e enjoying the place I highly recommend you stop in this joint, eat some food and ask for the verde and Diablo sauce!!
