The people who work here are so friendly and the food is super affordable and SO good!!! When I was in high school, I would go here at LEAST 3 days a week because it's so quick and easy. Sometimes the lines get long but they move quick, I promise! I cannot recommend this place enough! I have eaten here so much that the owner knows my order when I walk in the door and he always asks how I'm doing and how college is going. I love the hospitality and the people who own "Taco Shack" (as the locals call it) are incredible people. Good food, good people, good prices. You couldn't ask for anything more!!

After driving from Houston to La Grange, we were starving, so we were happy to find Las Fuentes…read morejust a short walk from our Airbnb. One of the highlights of the meal was the fresh, homemade tortillas. They were warm, soft, and clearly made in-house, making the fajitas even more enjoyable. The fajitas themselves were flavorful, tender, and arrived sizzling hot. And if you're in the mood for a margarita, be prepared--they're gigantic! Definitely big enough to help you unwind after a day of traveling. The only downside was the service. We came in for a later lunch, and it felt like the staff was eager to clear our table while we were still finishing up. A little later, we realized the staff was getting ready to eat their own meal. I completely understand wanting to take a break, but it would have been nice if someone had simply let us know they were about to close for a staff meal. That bit of communication would have made the experience feel much more welcoming instead of rushed. Overall, the food was the standout, especially the fresh tortillas and delicious fajitas. I'd happily return for the food and those oversized margaritas.

I went here this week with a friend of mine - close to lunchtime. I rated it at three because I…read moredidn't like mine at all but my friends meal looked delicious! I got two enchiladas with a guacamole salad and a cheese puff. I had no idea what the cheese puff was and it was very disappointed to find out it was nothing more than a small taco salad bowl filled with cheese. The guacamole salad was very small. I was not wild about the taste of either the beef or the cheese enchilada. But my friend got shrimp fajitas and they looked good, smelled good and tasted so good! Everything was prepared very well, especially the shrimp. If I go back again, I will definitely know what to order and what not to order lol The staff was very friendly and very attentive!

It's 4 lanes, not a lot of traffic and limited access as well. Nice low stress return to I-10 after a tasty lunch. The building obviously used to be a home and the inside just further confirms it. Lots of comfortable seating throughout. Parking is all around the building and much of it is in shade from several large trees on the property. It was lunchtime busy when we arrived but we got seated quickly and the service never faltered. The pimento cheese and sausage appetizer was so good. Picky eater got 2 plain chopped brisket tacos and enjoyed them. I got the brisket plate and was surprised to find sausage on there too. The slaw and beans for sides were good choices. Both were very tasty and definitely all their own recipe. We enjoyed it enough that we shall be hoping that lunchtime timing works out again when we are eastbound on I-10 in this area.

We ran into a couple of signs on our way down the highway and The Back Porch BBQ peaked our interest so we stopped in. Parking and location was super easy to get to and navigate. This is a small town BBQ spot so I for sure was impressed with how many folks were inside dining and how many cars the lot could hold. It was a Saturday afternoon and everyone had tables full of delicious barbecue that we passed in front of as we got sat by the friendly staff. We loved the moist brisket sandwich, fall off the bone pork ribs, plus Later on we ordered 1lb of their jalapeno cheddar sausage to go and had it the very next day while back at home in Austin. The sausage was so juicy and succulent that we didn't regret having leftovers for even another meal - morning breakfast with egg - the next day. Portions were large and there was plenty of food to bring back home with us to enjoy later. Great and wonderful and attentive staff is what makes this spot even that more enjoyable.

I had to stop at a gas station and use the rest room and I asked if there was any place good around to eat. The gas station attendant pointed us to La Marina. When you pull up, its a tiny, brick building and it really reminded me of a building that should have been a Moose Lodge or a VFW instead of a restaurant. Maybe it was at sometime, I don't know. The parking lot is pretty small. Most of the spots are actually right up against the road with no curb or divider at all and they aren't marked. Walking in though, it smelled delicious and we were really pleasantly surprised with the food. The salsa was more liquid than chunky, but the flavor was delicious. It was the perfect blend of spice, tomatoes, cilantro and onion. I hadn't read Andrew's review, but I also got the combo place with a flauta, taco, chalupa and I got a chicken enchilada with sour cream sauce. My favorite part of the meal was the Chalupa. It was covered with refried beans, flavorful taco meat, lettuce, tomato and guacamole. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. I had my father with me, a Michigan native, and he even went so far to say that it was the best Mexican food that he's had in Texas. If you are traveling between Houston and Austin or are just on TX-71 for some reason, give La Marina a try. I don't think you will be sorry you stopped.

For a town celebrated for its charm, I expected this bakery to embody the same warmth…read more As a first-time visitor and tourist, I naturally had questions about the bakery's history and the pastries they're known for. The woman who appeared to be the bakery manager, working around 8:15 a.m., answered every question with an attitude that felt forced, dismissive, and unwelcoming. When someone says, "This is my first time here," it's usually an opportunity to create a memorable experience--not make them feel like they're interrupting your morning. I won't be rating the bakery's famous pigs in a blanket because, to me, hospitality is part of the product. Outstanding customer service can elevate good food to a great experience. Without it, even the town's signature pastry loses some of its appeal.

Every small town has a Dairy Queen. And La Grange is no different…read more Each of these small towns' Dairy Queens has a variety of menu items that may or may not be available at other locations. When I stopped at this location, I was surprised by several items I had not seen before -- fish baskets (well, at least outside of Lent season), chili dogs, patty melts, nachos, taco salads, and an actual chicken fried steak dinner. Had I been stopping for more than something sweet, several of these items would've tempted me. But today was just a vanilla shake. That in itself was good -- but I was especially impressed by the young men working at the counter. One of the team was already preparing my shake before I'd even finished my transaction. With service like this, I'm making a note to try this location for the huge variety of lunch and dinner options.
