La Cabana may be the best traditional Tex-Mex restaurant in Lubbock, and there's plenty of competition. The core of Tex-Mex is tacos and enchiladas and maybe chiles rellenos. I haven't tried the CRs, but their basic crispy beef tacos are perfect, their enchiladas are also very good, and their charro beans are terrific. The atmosphere is very pleasant--it's always nice to hear Tejano music instead of mainstream popular crap--the service is competent, and the price simply cannot be beat. In short, if you're in Lubbock and looking for straight-down-the-pipe, authentic, old-school Tex-Mex, you can't do any better than La Cabana. read more

This is honest to god one of my most favorite spots in Lubbock! The food is amazing every time, the service is great, it is such a great place! read more

Restaurant is decorated very nicely, very appealing. Plenty of seating. The service was fast and kind. We ordered a total of 11 street tacos, which were served with a roasted jalapeño and grilled onions on the side. The salsas were flavorful and they offered different spice levels. Our ticket for 2 people was only $28. We can't wait to return! read more

It looked so good & the few reviews were excellent but the food had no flavor. The cheese enchilada was made with flour. Who does that? We took our order to go but I don't think eating it there would have made a difference. The staff was very sweet and helpful read more

This place is the real deal!!! I got the chicken soft tacos with their homemade corn tortillas--so, so good. I will admit that you will need to add a little bit of salt and hot sauce to the meat and beans because they were definitely under seasoned, BUT it's still great. The chips were hot, the hot sauce was tasty, and the waitstaff was very attentive. Also, this restaurant is very clean, and seems to be completely new inside! read more

This is located in an industrial area. Not where you would commonly look for a good eats place. Their building has been remodeled and now has indoor seating. My husband and I had breakfast there last Sunday. He had fried eggs with a verde sauce. And I had migas, although it wasn't listed as migas on the menu. Our orders were served with a grilled jalapeno pepper, tortilla chips with a red salsa, papas and refried beans and corn tortillas. I can't say enough about the grilled jalapeno. It was delicious - slightly charred, a little tart, maybe lime. The salsa was exceptional. Not sure what was in the salsa, but it was slightly different than the salsa that you generally get in a Tex-mex restaurant. Much better - had a little bite, but not overwhelmingly hot. Hubby said that the verde sauce was the best that he'd ever eaten. I sampled his verde sauce, and the next time we eat there, I will order an entree with verde sauce. The papas were crispy on the outside and soft and creamy in the center. Wow. The refried beans were the best that we've every had. Again, not exactly sure why, perhaps a spice or an herb that's not normally put in refired beans. Whatever their secret is, it produces amazing refired beans. And finally, the corn tortillas-absolutely delicious. They were thicker and softer than most corn tortillas. I think that they were made from white corn, and it was obvious that they were homemade - quality & flavor. The building was spotlessly clean, the service was fast and friendly. The prices on the menu fit our pocketbook. Over all it was an extraordinary dining experience. And we will definitely eat here again. read more

Great Mexican food and the service is ridiculously fast! Food was very flavorful and tortillas were homemade (except for the tiny street taco ones). Very cute little restaurant...like being in your Abuela's kitchen. read more

Some of the best authentic Mexican food you can get! It's very yummy

Vivo en Austin, TX., y cada ves que mi familia y yo vamos a Lubbock, es seguro de que vamos ir a comer gorditas a La Cabana! Antes de agarrar el camino devuelto a Austin, hacemos La Cabana nuestro último parada. A todos que conocemos le decimos de este lugar y los que van, les encanta! Lo único que el dueño no es muy amigable que digamos... Antes de que me mudé a Austin, este restaurante no era lo que es hoy en día! A logrado mucho y sigue creciendo bueno, eso pienso yo. Duré dos años para visitar a Lubbock de nuevo, y cuando vi que ya no era el puesto de tacos que era antes, quise felicitar al muchacho por su gran logro, pero fue un momento medio incomodo... Pero bueno, la comida esta súper rica! read more

If this was a sit down restaurant, I would have been tempted to give them a 5 star. It was recommended by a guard next door, she clamed to eat there almost every day. Another great sign, a ( gringo ) can stomach it. And a female to boot. The pricing was good, for the amount recived. And I almost forgot, they do have outdoor seating on the side I didn't take pics of. read more
