ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING -- BEST MEXICAN FOOD ANYWHERE…read more If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I've traveled all over Texas and across the U.S., and I can say without hesitation that Las Cocinas Mexican Grill is hands-down the BEST Mexican restaurant I have ever been to -- and that includes all of Austin. My family and I come here several times a week, even though we don't live close by. That alone should tell you how incredible this place is. Must-try favorites (do NOT skip these): The Margaritas - Very strong and absolutely perfect. Order them half & half (half on the rocks, half frozen). Trust me -- you'll thank me later. Nachos Al Carbon (Appetizer) - The beef fajita meat is out of this world. Tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. Beef Fajitas Cremosas (Entrée) - Get them with EXTRA sun-dried tomatoes. Oh. My. God. I have never had anything like this in my life, and it's something I crave several times a week. Stuffed Jalapeños - So good I sometimes order them as my entire meal. And the onion rings they're served on? Easily the best onion rings I've ever had anywhere. Beyond the food, the staff is absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like family -- warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy you're there. That kind of service is rare, and it's one of the many reasons this place is so special to us. And yes -- I always forget to take pictures of my food because I eat it before I remember to take photos for a review . That should tell you everything you need to know about how good it is. We are incredibly thankful for Las Cocinas. It's not just our favorite Mexican restaurant -- it's our favorite restaurant, period, and the best in the entire area by a mile. Perfect in every way.

The friendly ladies behind the counter of this tiny food stand made us feel welcome. The prices…read morewere fair and the portions were generous (large, meaty, filling tacos for $2.50 to $3 each). We tried a variety of tacos, including breakfast tacos and we experienced tlacoyos for the first time (similar to gorditas). Outdoor seating only, in a rustic, rural environment, including a rooster roaming around between the umbrellaed picnic tables. The food is more typical of a ranch house family meal than of restaurant-style Tex-Mex. For example, they don't whisk their eggs before they scramble them. They just crack them directly into the skillet and kind of mix it together slightly with the spatula as they cook. They had both red and green salsa available, but both were very mild, and thin enough for a squeeze bottle. We didn't notice any chips, salsa bowls, guacamole, jalapeños or lime wedges. And none of the flavors were amped up. It just all came across as the typical home cooking they'd been raised on. But that has its own charm. And the tortillas (flour or white corn) all seemed homemade They have sodas, horchata and aguas frescas (no beer), or coffee (instant, I believe). But don't plan to stay too long or drink too much coffee, as there is no public restroom here.

Great spot! We are patient I promise... 30 minutes we are going to have to say goodbye to a star. Mose tacos truck styled spots are much faster. Well we just had to lose another star.. not sure how this place works but just had two family's that got here after us got their food prior to us. While two gentlemen prior to us have still not got there food - may leave it like this since we may never know if those two guys get their food.

You place your order and then take a seat and when they bring out your food, you get a little pocket to put cash into to pay whatever you want. The food was great and it benefits addiction recovery. My only complaint is that they really really really need to put fans on the patio cause I was swatting away flies the entire time I was eating. I wouldn't eat outside again. I went for breakfast and had a 3-meat omlette which I actually couldn't even finish cause I was full. It was a little weird getting the apple juice in a cup full of ice but I guess I could have gotten more if I wanted it. I'd like to back for lunch sometime.

I'm also a first time mom and not working currently so my funds are low for spending. The staff (shout out to the ones I've met so far) Kevin, Brittany and Terrance took the time to explain how the cafe works. so many delicious options, I went with the jalapeno popper omelette which did not disappoint. Brittany helped navigate a coffee I would enjoy and I did! Try the Vietnamese iced coffee so good. my daughter and I sat outside and met Terrance, who came right up and introduced himself. made sure we were doing good and dj'd some great tunes. I'm not sure who was at the counter today but she was lovely. thank you all for the experience and great food

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.

I tried an omelette which you can build yourself. It came out pretty fast and tasted good. Side of salsa helped by adding extra flavour. Chicken fried chicken was moist and had good amount of crunchy texture. Many items are on the fried side. Pricing: $$ - standard prices for breakfast and lunch options.
