3.5 stars, husband wishes they had more drink options like a sprite for soda instead of just Coca Cola. The food was really good! We loved the fried battered shrimp and the battered cat fish a lot! We did the Friday buffet, for lent :) The service was also great! Very friendly waitresses . The kids really enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo and both wanted 2 bowls each. I would definitely come back here to try more of their menu items!! read more

They have a lot of options on the menu. On Sundays they also have a local Mexican/American homestyle breakfast buffet. Part of the buffet menu rotates, but they usually have scrambled eggs, migas, hash browns, chicharrones en salsa verde, refried beans, nopalitos, biscuits & gravy, sausage patty, sausage link, bacon, oatmeal, fruit (peaches, grapes). Most importantly: infinite menudo. Not pictured are the made-to-order options that are part of the buffet: french toast, pancake, or they can warm up toast or tortillas. Ask when you order the buffet. The restaurant itself is on the rustic, smaller side: seats 50 max (probably less per fire code). There is additional parking next door by Clint's Liquors (the parking lots are connected by a small wooden foot bridge). Feels like a local diner, so if you are looking for something upscale or trendy look elsewhere. I don't want the place to be crowded anyway. Service is friendly. Good food at a good price! read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is really really good. Karen is the absolute best waitress.... super friendly. The only negative thing I would have to say is you have to call to make sure they're open because they change their hours and they change the days that they're closed almost monthly. But having said that it is totally worth going for the food and when you go say hi to Karen.! read more

First time here, and lemme say, very impressed with the food. Trying to park was an experience, but we were here for breakfast. Doesn't look like much from the outside, and inside is in need of some cleaning of the window sills but the buffet looks good, but we went with omelets. Took a bit to get the food, but it was all warm and worth the wait! Definitely worth stopping in and checking out! read more

This used to be one of our favorite places to go until recently. On two separate occasions I received rotten food! The first time we went in for dinner. I ordered a meal with rice and beans. The beans were rotten. Every other time the beans had a good flavor. This time my stomach turned instantly at just the smell. When I told the waitress she took my plate to the back where they removed the beans. When she came back she said that they told her that it was the seasoning. I didn't eat my dinner and I got them to take it off the bill. A few weeks later we gave them another try. I ordered the catfish basket. My husband ordered a chicken fried steak plate. The mashed potatoes were cold and hard. The chicken fried steak was mostly crust, and the small piece of meat had so much gristle. So as he's trying his hardest to get through his meal I finally try a piece of fish. I spit it out and started gagging. I asked my husband to smell a different piece from the other side. He said, "Don't eat that! It's bad." So my last two meals there I was given rotten/ bad food. read more

Fried fish was amazing!!!! Service was great! Queso was watery with no flavor. Prices are very reasonable. Chimichanga was iffy- steak was stringy and nearly tasteless, but it did have peppers, rice, and onions in it so it was ok. Fajitas were ok, but not great. So if you want fried fish with okra and hush puppies: perfect place!!!! If you want good Mexican food: keep driving. read more

Great customer service, great food and great location My favorite is the shrimp & steak meal. read more

Wow! Third time at this restaurant and loving it. It doesn't look like much from the outside or the interior decor, but the down home cooking is GREAT! From basic breakfast fare of Jumbo eggs, potatoes and breakfast meats, to lunch specials of tacos, burritos and other Texan and Mexican specialties. Wednesday is Senior Discount day with 25% off. read more

We chose this place based on Yelp reviews. You seat yourself, so we found a place and sat. The waitress was quick to bring chips and salsa and take our drink order. Wife just ordered water and tea for myself; she brought us both tea. Wife ordered an enchilada/taco combo, the waitress even pointed at the menu acknowledging her order and asked what sides, my wife confirmed beans and rice. I ordered the all you can eat catfish Saturday special. When they brought our plate, they sat my catfish meal down first, then started to give my wife a catfish/shrimp meal. My wife told her this is not what I ordered, the waitress replied "you ordered the seafood combo" which she did not, she ordered the combo plate (2 enchiladas and a taco, with beans and rice), so her meal had to be returned and the correct meal made. We weren't given any silverware so I had to go to the counter to get napkins. There was no offer of tartar sauce or ketchup to go with my fish and fries.....so I'm eating while my wife is waiting on the correct meal. I'm very picky on catfish and they really do a great job with it!! Wife's food finally came out (we still had to ask for silverware), she said it was "just ok" but the rice was not cooked all the way and had several hard pieces. I had some catfish left from my first plate, so I asked for a small to-go container. The waitress acknowledged, but never came back with one. I had to go to the counter and request our check and my to go box. I had to get them to correct the check, because it was still showing seafood platter with beans and rice...my bill went from $45 to $25 when corrected.... We will not be back. read more

The service is amazing I loved the food it was so good I'm going to recommend this place to my family!

When pulling up to this place it doesn't look like much. I was actually very skeptical about going inside my first time. But do not judge a book by its cover this place has some really amazing food. And also free margaritas how can you go wrong? We started off with Torre De Ceviche I prefer mine with a little bit more acid so I just asked for a couple more limes and squeezed them over top and it made it perfect. But did you see the size of this thing? It's a whole meal in itself. So delicious. My husband ordered the three taco platter he loved it. I had the Camaromes La Diablo. I have to say this is one of the best dishes I've ever had. I have gone back four times for this one dish. read more

First while dropping off my daughter at the nearby high school on Thursday night at 6:30pm I decided to take my wife for a bite while waiting for Our Kid, we can't complain about my choice after I saw the ceviche on the menu, My first question was after walking into the door was so you guys have ceviche? The lady said back to me Yes always, I ask back is the ceviche fresh? She said always, so I told her I want to try it, We seat and we place our order for the TORRE DE CEVICHE, time to enjoy our order, the presentation was amazing the taste of the ceviche was great, I did miss the green sauce in the bottom of the ceviche plate that is show by the owner photo on Yelp's other than that great choice, While eating the ceviche the server mention to us that we must try the tilapia so my wife's is a sea food lover, she ask her right away for a fried tilapia, the fish arrive to our table Hot and tasty the rice the beans and wow sour creen and Guacamole in the plate was great, no to mention our free margaritas to pairing our fish plates lol I can't wait to go back and try their breakfast or the all you can eat fish and chips deal, By the way the two servers were nice and they make you feel at home, By the way the place need more lightings outside, Please excuse my bad typing, read more

Small restaurant off 71. I was very surprised with the quality of the food it was fantastic. Good portion and the price point was right on. It's a must stop. My server was friendly and attentive which is unheard of these days. Over all Great Experience with Tasty Food. read more

Staff are friendly and breakfast special is good. I will definitely be coming back to try lunch menu out.

This little joint throws down. These fried shrimp are worth trying for sure. Great service, lots of food options, I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

I love to review this place. I come here at least once a week for the delicious food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Their chips and salsa are great!Everything I have tried--from the burgers, fried steaks, ceviches, fried fish, oysters, and tacos and burritos--were absolutely delicious. I would call it fine dining. The food is fresh and scrumptious, and it's consistently good. They always have a special of the day and an all-you-can eat catfish deal that everyone comes in for. I highly recommend Lozano's Cafe! read more

Do yourself a favor and pull off of 71 into this quaint little bit of food heaven. The owner will greet you and the service is pure Texas!

I am really upset with what will be my final experience here. Alex, as the owner, you have really let this place fail. We have been coming here for awhile and when my daughter comes to visit me, this is always where she wanted to go. Tonight we went in for dinner, we have always been able to order breakfast all day long. However, tonight we go in and we are handed a menu that has breakfast, lunch and dinner. My boyfriend wanted to order breakfast and we were told by what was a new waitress that we could not order breakfast. Whatever, don't hand me a menu when I can't order half of what's in it...so, my boyfriend orders a burger and fries, he receives his burger and half of what was supposed to be on the burger is not on it. I ordered the shrimp fajitas...the rice and beans come out at least five minutes before my shrimp fajitas, yay... Everything is now cold. So not only was the food for the first time horrible, the service was atrocious, whoever this new waitress is, needs to be fired. She has given the worst service I have ever received, and the for time in my life I have never given a tip. I am very disappointed as my boyfriends father knows you personally Alex, and now we can no longer entertain your business as an option any longer. read more

This is quite the find. I would say from the outside the place may not at first catch your eye as you fly down hwy 71 but it has just the most amazing selection. From seafood to burgers to Mexican food to breakfast to Texas comfort food. Oh my!! Its a small Cafe with limited parking and seating.... but those folks can cook!! Staff is extra awesome! Lots of regulars which is how you know its good. Price is spot on. High marks all the way around. read more

Absolutely everything we ate was perfect! And our waitress Charmaine was so very friendly and served us cold margaritas along with our menus, it was great! We are SoCal visiting from San Diego and this has been our favorite place to eat so far. The chicken fried steak was breaded to perfection. The catfish and Hush puppies could not have been better! But I gotta tell you.. the in house made onion rings where my favorite thing. A delightful evening - Angie read more

Mariscos Lozano's Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

Food is tasty and plentiful. People are pleasant, and talkative if you wish. Specials are good, and their catfish special is especially so!

A small neighborhood restaurant in the Wyldwood area of Bastrop County. Their beef enchiladas are the best I've ever had. If Mexican food is not your vibe, the menu also offers American comfort food classics! The service is fine, too. You can't go wrong! read more

Terrible experience never ever go here in your life all the workers had attitudes and I was waiting forever for my food and the drive through don't even get me started it was so bad and dirty they had no menu for you to order food it was like a dirty shed and again long wait and so many rude people one of the workers was really old and had so much attitude so if I was you I would never go there again !! read more

Had breakfast and it was delicious! The salsa is a homemade fire roasted medium salsa with a smoky depth to the flavor. I had the Mexican omelette that came with chorizo. I'm pretty sure it was a 3 egg omelette. It came with hash browns or home fries and toast for the very reasonable price of $10.50! read more

This spot is amazing! The food is fantastic and the prices are reasonable!! The staff is really attentive and nice. I highly recommend this place. They serve pretty much anything you can image food wise. They have something on the menu for everyone in your party/family. read more

Yummy yummy hamburgers! Grilled flavor that rocks. Friendly staff. The drive thru is a bonus.

Excellent food, good price. Their catfish, fried shrimp and fried oysters are great. I also really like the chicken fried steak and fried pork chops. read more

So glad we stopped by, we saw a lot of cars parked in front. There is a sign at the front to call in orders, then we went through the drive-though a few minutes later. I asked for a medley of breakfast tacos / we got a mix of meats w/ super fresh veggies. The salsa was good too. Everything was well seasoned and great tasting. Staff was nice and helpful. I'm sure they are hard-working, and we want to support local businesses. read more

This place is what you'd consider a hidden gem on most days. Day is simply NOT one of those days. It took more than 10 minutes for us to get a simple glass of water, at which time we also placed our food order. We have literally been waiting for 30 minutes for our food at this point. One meal is their daily special, and the other is beef enchiladas- nothing complicated or extra fancy. The wait wouldn't be quite so bad if we'd even been offered or given chips and salsa. I understand that there appears to be one waitress managing all the tables by herself, but she didn't offer any explanation for the incredibly long wait. This was a very disappointing experience today. read more
