Ok listen.... The food is OUTSTANDING, Fresh and cooked to order. But I need to tell you a secret…read more pupusa's are great, the coleslaw and sauce they use is great but when I eat it I fill like I need a shower, I'm so messy. I asked her to make a empanada (I think they called it a pistoleto??) and put the coleslaw inside of it. Now I had a handheld pocket of beef or chicken with slaw and cheese, all I had to do is pour that amazing sauce on it and magic!!! She is so nice, the food is amazing and honestly if I'm hungry in bastrop this is my first thought "is she open today?".

First time customer. Tonight I tried the costilla de puerco (pork ribs). About the sauce: ribs were…read morecooked in a rich verde sauce, mild heat, mildly sour, but pleasant, tangy, not acidic. The fat from the fall-off-the bone ribs and slight caramelization of the meat gave everything just the right consistency and taste. The rice was better than most places (soft but not mushy). The beans and tortillas rounded it all out. Normally I don't fill up on all the tortillas but I used all of it to clean the plate.

DO NOT COME HERE! You're honestly better off eating at Buc-ee's. I only stopped here because I was…read morecharging my car next door, and it was a huge disappointment. The flour tortillas tasted like packaged Mission tortillas. However, I did see a lady making fresh corn tortillas, so maybe those are better. The steak tasted like frozen pre-cooked meat that had just been reheated in a skillet. The guacamole definitely wasn't fresh, and the cheese tasted like it came straight out of a plastic bag -- not even Kraft quality, more like Great Value. Overall, everything felt low quality and overpriced for what you get. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Route 71 between Bergstrom Airport and Bastrop is kind of a food desert…read more But they are just now starting to get food trucks. However, there is one food truck that has been in Cedar Creek forever. Mi Barrio at 71 and Pope Bend. This is an absolutely superlative food truck. If you needed one and only one place to eat along Route 71, This is the one you would want. * * * Tex-Mex is the order of the day here. The menu is very traditional. They are unapologetic about offering "alternative parts of the animal" such as tripas. The food is firey hot but hot with magnificent flavor. I never understood why people told me that Tex-Mex food is spicy. It isn't spicy in most places. It IS spicy at Mi Barrio. And this is fire you could learn to love. * * * Four notes of interest. a) I had the chicken fajitas. At bad Mexican food trucks, they use cheap chicken, Chicken that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. They use high integrity high quality ingredients at Mi Barrio. You could serve this chicken to your mother. b) Even though Mi Barrio is right next to Cedar Creek High School, I have never once seen a Cedar Creek High School student there. You go to the fast food restaurants near Westwood High in Austin, and they are packed with Westwood High students. I suspect the principal at Cedar Creek is stricter than the principal at Westwood High about letting students off school grounds. c) Most of the customers do not eat at the food truck. All of the customers I saw were working class Mexican. A few ordered for themselves and went off to eat someplace. A few others came in to get large orders that I presume were taken back to some work crew. The location is not wonderful. They are in the parking lot of a fairly cruddy Exxon convenience store. Highway 71 scenery is not magnificent. d) This place opens early and closes early. They will be there for breakfast. They will be there for lunch even if you wander in around 1-ish. I am a late afternoon kind of a guy which generally means I found them closed. * * * It would be snarky for me to say this is the best eating on Route 71, given the nearly total lack of competition. But it is more meaningful to say this place can stand up with The best of the Mexican/Central American food trucks on North Lamar in Austin AND The best of the Mexican/Central American food trucks on Route 812 in Del Valle. These are concentrations of really excellent Mexican food. You might not want to drive 35 miles to eat here. The location is ugly. This ain't no picture postcard. But if you DO stop and eat here, ignoring the view, You will eat very well indeed.
