El Corral Lozano #2

El corral Lozano 2 is a very popular place for Mexican food in Bastrop. It's a clearest place to get a very affordable lunch or breakfast. They have several specials for breakfast. Some as cheap as $4.99. The food is fresh. The staff is on top of the tables. They are open early at 7am and close at 3pm.

Diner-style Mexican food. They have a great affordable breakfast menu (american and mexican). I tried el patrón from the fiesta breakfast menu: the marinated grilled steak was tender, not stringy. The chicharron ranchero salsa for the eggs was very good, so next time I will try their chicharron plate. They also have some small american breakfast plates for $5 and $6. Coffee was easy to drink, bottomless, and kept full due to the attentive waitress there.

Prices are impressively low. I've only been here for breakfast (twice). They do have whole host of breakfast options, both traditional American and Mexican. Their chips and salsa are good. My breakfast came with a grilled jalapeño, which was a nice touch. Portions are fine. If you want to feed a table of eight inexpensively, this is certainly an option. They also have daily lunch specials M-F. The food wasn't bad, either. I'm not saying it was good, particularly -- at least not what we ordered -- but it wasn't bad. We certainly think it's better than Anita's. Our food took a really long time to come out. In fairness, a table of six and a table of eight ordered just before we did, but we sat there for a really long time after eating our chips and salsa. The hostess was sweet and friendly. But why did each table have a weekday lunch menu (on a Saturday), standing 11" tall in a metal basket (obstructing views); and why, above each menu, did they clip on a large placard with the table number? Can the wait staff not memorize table numbers like every other restaurant? The waitress was okay, though she certainly could have been more attentive. And since I don't speak Spanish, it's preferable to be asked how I like my eggs cooked and other questions in English.Of course, none of that cost them a star. But there were a few things that did. The interior looks like it was established decades ago and hasn't been touched by anything but age since. It looked clean. But it had a bit if a dank aroma we noticed when we were standing at the counter, which we had to do in order to pay. They didn't tell us that, but they never brought a check and apparently that's how it's done. But the counter top is old and is so skinny that there's not enough room to fill out your tip and sign your bill. They have to hand you a phone book for that. They really need to adjust the acoustics and sound. The place was wired for music, but apparently that system is no longer working. So they had music playing, but only at the front counter, and we'd been seated in the large back room. That room is an acoustic nightmare with sound just bouncing all over the place. And with no music, I could hear every conversation in the room like it was at my own table. Finally, they did not season my over-easy eggs and they did not season my spouse's Mexican Omelet. Now we understand why they keep salt and pepper on the table. And there were things in the menu I didn't quite understand. I love a good Cubano. But why add bologna to a Cubano?All that said, if you're looking for very low prices with pretty decent food, and ambiance isn't important, then you might check it out for breakfast or maybe for a $6.99 lunch special.

This is a small place but good authentic food. Nothing fancy but nice to see all the locals frequenting the place. Try it out see what you think.

Great service and food. Real Texas hospitality. It's seat yourself. Had a sizably good menu and the chicken flautas with beans and rice are to die for 10/10 would come back again.

I ate at El Corral Lozano #2 and there family atmosphere is undeniably charming. I love this little restaurant the people work so good together and the food is great. Don't look at the building which is old but the beautiful people working there, will make your Day a little brighter.

Tacos were good but small. Bacon tasted funny. Lemonade was not good at all. Service was decent.

Cheapest breakfast in bastrop tx. Hidden little place with great food and great prices . Will recommend food is delicious must try

Excellent! I loved the salsa that came with the chips we were given when we first sat down and immediately knew I had found a new favorite. I had the huevos con nopales and couldn't believe the large serving. It was wonderful. My husband had the country fried steak with eggs. The steak was tender and the sourdough toast was extra tasty! We will be back for sure.

The waitress was very friendly and taught us some Spanish while we waited. 1st the coffee was not as strong as I liked but I do like my coffee with a little kick. The waitress was good with keeping up with the refills. Now the food I am sorry no pictures , but I was hungry and well I freaking dove right in. I got some scramble eggs , bacon , sausage, biscuit, and pancakes. It was all . I will definitely keep coming back and I will recommen this place to family and friends.
