Eva's Cafe

Waffle Plate and CoffeeExcellent Quality FoodPriced very good. Clean Restaurant, cleanest dining room in Bastrop County

This is a new Mexican cafe, open for breakfast and lunch. They did a good job with the ambiance inside, with beautiful barn doors and a butterfly theme. And they keep the place exceptionally clean. Our server made us feel very welcome even though we showed up just before closing time (they close at 2 pm Tue - Sun and are closed all day Monday). Half the menu was breakfast and the other half was lunch. Beverages were colas, coffee, tea, lemonade and horchata. Lunch here is your typical Mexican lunch menu: tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, fajitas, etc. They also had two specials today: Enchiladas Verde and Quesabirria Tacos. We tried and enjoyed both. The enchiladas had a lot of chicken in them. And while the birria lacked its typical au jus to dip the tacos in, they were still quite authentic and flavorful. The complimentary chips and salsa comes with a bean dip, and with two additional chile options, a spicy red chile and a chile verde. It was nice having all those options. For a healthier option, they also offer a large bowl of tortilla soup with spanish rice on the side. I'm not sure why they choose to open a Mexican restaurant right next to a Mexican restaurant, but the two restaurants are very different and keep different hours. We will come back to try their breakfast, as that appears to be their specialty.

Wow! What a great restaurant. We went there with another couple after church and the food, service, ambiance was superb. I'm very happy to have a clean little place for breakfast. Thank you.

Very good place did not expect it to look like these; beautiful inside Plus the food was great, they surprised me with bean dip with my chips and salsa. Lady's were great with their service, I didn't know they closed at 2pm when we walked in it was 1:45pm and they still received us with friendliness. Will definitely be coming back

First time I went it was good not great. Second time the flaunts were use cold. Their excuse was because the cold cabbage was on top of it. Wrong because I had something else that had cold cabbage on top and it was hot. I won't ever eat there again. What a huge disappointment that they were inconsistent with their cooking. Yeah it's beautiful inside but who cares if the food sucks!

Food and service are outstanding! A hidden gem in Smithville. Eva is a hands on owner who is consistently improving the restaurant's menu and service. Full breakfast and lunch menus. Husband's "usual" is the pork chop breakfast. I have ordered street tacos, cheese enchiladas and fajita burrito. All were delicious! Strongly recommend!

Very good food, far better and more authentic than the Mexican restaurant beside it and those in Smithville. Prices more reasonable also. They have a daily lunch special for around $9. This place is attractive, spotlessly clean, and well run. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Private parking lot. Located between Smithville and Bastrop on hwy 71, just a couple miles before the Smithville exit if you are heading east.
