    This place is tucked away off I-35 but they have a billboard if you're going I-35N that draws your attention. Do yourself a favor and stop in! They have friendly and fast service as well as great Mexican food. The tortillas are so buttery and flavorful, I can eat the tortillas by themselves. This is also the first place I've dined that gives you chips, salsa, and beans. I enjoyed the beans more than the salsa however, both were very appetizing. Our waitress was fairly new and she originally brought me the wrong dish but she was very apologetic and it was replaced quickly. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and a cucumber margarita. This was my first time having a cucumber margarita. It was so refreshing. I think I might've found a new Taco Tuesday spot and favorite drink!

    Omg y'all this place amazing the staff were super friendly and our waitress was great. She suggested some items we should try like a Blue Margarita and it was delicious. This place has reasonable prices and the food is absolutely delicious we were seated right away and the food arrived at our table timely. I had the mixed platter and y'all everything on my plate was finger licking good and yes I had chicken wings at a Taco place. Y'all won't be disappointed.

    Great prices. The tacos were filllllled, they didn't skimp at all. This place is clean and just has that vibe and attentive service that makes you want to come back. Love the decorations.

    We visited on a Friday specifically to enjoy the Mariachis that perform that evening. Our group of 14 was seated quickly--probably after about a 10-minute wait. Our meals arrived all at once and within a reasonable timeframe. The combination of delicious food, lovely music, and great company made for a perfect experience. Although parking was a little tight, it was manageable. Everyone enjoyed cocktails that were not only tasty but also reasonably priced. We'll definitely be returning!

    I went there with my husband, trying to find a good local restaurant around our place. It's tricky since we are vegetarians sometimes. They were so accommodating for us for the menu, the waitress and the manager were both very very nice. The vegetarian options were okay, but a bit bland but we get it bc we asked for accommodation! But the service was extraordinary, I really appreciated the team there

    Local spot my friends took me to while in town. Sorry for forgetting to take pictures of the food. I inhaled my sour cream chicken enchiladas before I thought too. They had a mariachi band playing the Friday night I went. It was a nice touch!

    First time coming here! We got a coupon by mail recently so we followed the address and got here. As we are vegetarian, we asked for vegetarian menu and they had a few options and the friendly staff, Nadia, led us to the seat! Interior of this restaurant is the authentic Mexican style and I like the vibe there! Nadia shared the menu info of what we can have in vegetarian style (very thoughtful)! And when she wasn't sure if the substitute was okay, she called her manager, Saul, to make sure alternatives were okay! So We got lots of cacti and avocado with veggies! Unfortunately, they use lard on rice and beans so we had to remove it from our dishes; sad (PLEASE MAKE VEGETARIAN BEANS AND RICE without animal products; the demand will soon increase!) so they substituted with more cacti and avocado which was still good! We ordered three crispy tacos, fajita, 4 soft taco and hochata! I think cacti was the winner of the night! Overall we had a wonderful dinner over there and wishes that they make vegetarian options including rice and beans and beyond!! Hope for the improvement! Also, today was 5th anniversary of working here for our friendly staff, Nadia! Congratulations and hope you continually make people happy with your smiling face! Cheers

    First visit to this restaurant. Seems crowded when we passed by numerous times but not so much today. Parking was available which was good. Seated right away and server was attentive with drinks and salsa/chips. Street tacos with pork filling were tasty. Enchiladas verde with chicken were good. Wished for some veggies on the plate but limited to beans and enchiladas. The verde salsa had a good flavor and stewed chicken also had some flavor but would have appreciated some onions or peppers, lettuce and tomato. Oh well. Celebrating NY day so treated ourselves to deserts - tres leche cake and cheesecake. Both were good and requested a couple pieces of fruit on the cheesecake - 2 blackberries and a piece of strawberry as well as some chocolate drizzle. Tres leche authentic taste. Will probably go back to try other staples. Menu is gigantic. Restaurant filling up as we were leaving.

    We were traveling recently from Austin to Waco and got extremely hungry. We decided we needed Mexican food. Who doesn't need good Mexican food when you are traveling right?!? So we found this place off the highway and boy are we glad we did. First off the service EVERYONE here checks in on you. From the person that seated you to the staff just walking by your table. We felt pretty darn special. We got a frozen margarita which actually was a standard margarita but..... drum roll.... They have to go margaritas. That right there made me wish we had one where we live. I got the queso birria tacos after wrestling with the enchiladas. I'm glad I did. I'm not so much of a consume person, but the meat had outstanding flavors. Those of you that know me know I am a birria whore and I am very picky about my tacos. Absolutely delish. Plus they had a spicy green and red sauce that made my mouth water with delight. It was pretty busy during lunch, but not so busy we couldn't hear ourselves talk. So positive vibes on the ambience as well. We will definitely go back whenever we pass through again.

    The food was absolutely amazing they seasoned the meat so well i mean wow. The server was pretty good to we rarely had to ask for anything. And I'll tell you the restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside. I was surprised by the amount of space they had. The only reason they get a 4 star instead of 5 is my usual beef with places like this. There is no Coca Cola products here it's Pepsi which really sucks I would eat here a lot more if they had Diet Coke instead of Diet Pepsi.

    So nice to see that a business has finally taken root at this corner. Had the tacos this morning;…read morethe egg and chorizo, Machaca and egg, and Chicharron and bean. The flavors were spot on for the taco fillings, however the fact that the tortillas were undercooked was a real downer. We cannot overstate the importance of a properly cooked tortilla and how it makes or breaks the taco experience. ***On another note, and we really hope that management or the owner will read this comment. Please be mindful of your use of cleaning products. Nothing ruins the flavor of good food like the taste of Fabuloso in your mouth. This is not to throw shade on this business, but when you can taste a cleaning product in your food, this is not a good sign. Caution must be exercised when cleaning places where tortillas are stored, bags or supplies and containers that will be used for carry out food. Fabuloso and similar products like it contain very strong chemicals that will transfer over to anything that is permeable ruining your dining out experience. Qué bueno ver que un negocio finalmente ha echado raíces en esta esquina. Comí los tacos esta mañana: de huevo con chorizo, de machaca con huevo y de chicharrón con frijoles. Los sabores eran perfectos para los rellenos de los tacos, pero el hecho de que las tortillas estuvieran crudas fue una verdadera decepción. No podemos exagerar la importancia de una tortilla bien cocida y cómo influye en la experiencia de comer tacos. ***Por cierto, y esperamos que la gerencia o el dueño lean este comentario. Por favor, tengan cuidado con el uso de productos de limpieza. Nada arruina el sabor de una buena comida como el de Fabuloso en la boca. Esto no es para menospreciar a este negocio, pero si nota un sabor a producto de limpieza en la comida, no es buena señal. Se debe tener cuidado al limpiar los lugares donde se almacenan tortillas, bolsas o suministros y recipientes que se usarán para comida para llevar. Fabuloso y productos similares contienen químicos muy fuertes que se transfieren a cualquier superficie permeable, arruinando su experiencia al comer fuera.

And all I needed was to make sure they could read my notes on my order. I really hope they do because I will make a complaint and return their food if it's not the way I ordered. The restaurant either needs more staff or better staff if they cannot multitask as they should. This is my 3rd time ordering and this is already a bad experience with their staff. I will go in person myself and update my review accordingly because this place needs a truthful review from someone who does not sugar coat things.

    This restaurant was featured on The Day Tripper Season 12 Episode 1. Flash forward to this year and…read moreon my 2026 List was to do an Episode of the Day Tripper. I decided to follow the exact same footsteps as they did in the Episode that Lampasas, TX was featured. I found myself at this charming, beautiful family owned restaurant. What an amazing find. The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor area that reminds you of the outdoor areas of resorts in Mexico. The food is fresh, light, great value and absolutely Delicious! The service from the time I walked in to the time I left was top notch. Everyone was very friendly and I love how when a local came in, they were welcomed as family and if you were new to their establishment, they took the time to greet, welcome you, talk about their menu and gave you suggestions. I had a Mango Winerita (they can only serve beer and wine since they're close to a school and a church) which was super refreshing. The usual chips and salsa came to the table. The salsa had a nice flavor and just the right amount of heat... That your taste buds response to but than the heat goes away. The Queso was liquid gold... Smooth and cheesy... Perfect consistency that coats your chips but doesn't drip all over the place. I was treated to a different salsa that isn't normally brought to the table unless you asked for it. Woww!! Chunky with a nice roundness of smokey flavor, freshness and again the perfect touch of heat. The Jalapeno Fried Chips are beyond words... Thinly sliced, fried golden perfection with a Ranch Dipping Sauce to accommodate them. I couldn't stop eating them! So addictive. Than my main course... The Mexican Steak plate. Thinly sliced perfectly tender cooked meat with onions, peppers and tomatoes tossed all together. Rice and beans rounded off the plate perfectly. Everything was cooked right, everything was fresh and surprising light. The portions are generous and the prices are extremely reasonable. It was a perfect way to end my Day Trip in Lampasas. I look forward to going there again and exploring more of their menu. If you are from that area and have never been... Go support your local businesses! If you are driving through and on your way to Austin, stop there to fill your tummy... You will not be disappointed. Last but not least... It is an all CASH only restaurant. They do have an ATM inside. This restaurant is definitely worth another road trip!

They were both really good and I couldn't choose which one I liked best! You'll have to try them for yourself! We also had; The Road Kill - Grilled Chicken Breast topped with Queso Sauce, served with one Cheese and Onion Enchilada, Grilled Zucchini, and Pico de Gallo. Very flavorful. The chicken was moist and tender. The Cheese Enchilada was awesome with its chili sauce. Stuffed Fried Avocado - Hand battered fresh Avocado, stuffed with Spinach & Mushrooms. Served with a Cheese Enchilada, Rice, Beans and a side of Queso Sauce. The stuffed Avocado was totally awesome. Wrapped in cheese, then battered and deep fried. Gotta give it a try! The Beans and Rice were really good. We decided we need to go back and try more dishes! Yummy. Oh, The Chips and Salsa are great. Chips are Thin and Crispy and the salsa isn't too hot to eat!
