La Marina

I'm not a fan of the food but the service was good for some very energetic ten year olds celebrating a birthday. The staff was very patient and never complained. I just chose the wrong thing. My co diner's fried catfish looked amazing.

The food is pretty good. The entire building is moldy, though. The staff is slow and seems depressed. That could be because the mold is affecting their health. The owner should do something about the hazardous working conditions.

We are from the Fort Worth area. We come to the LaGrange area twice a year for the RoundTop antique show. We eat at the la Marina every time. It has never disappointed us. Good food! Good prices! Good service! My husband and I are not big eaters. We always split something when we eat out. The picture represents a 1/2 order. This is our favorite thing to order the chicken enchiladas with cream sauce it has the fajita meat. So good!

Just happen to stay the night,here in LG, for the antique show up the road. She wanted Mexican, I wanted steak. This place delivered both and was delicious, generous, reasonably priced, with a friendly staff. If I'm ever here in LG again, I'll beck back.

I live in Austin but am originally from Houston. I have to travel to H-town at least 2-3x annually. When I do, I usually make La Grange my half-way stopping point. I sure do miss the Bon Ton. I also miss the Cottonwood. However, the Cottonwood is now occupied by a Mexican and American food restaurant called La Marina. I can't comment on the American food, but I've had their Mexican food several times; the most recent time being this past weekend.I ordered a combo plate w/ a flauta, taco, chalupa and a cheese enchilada. All items were very good; not great, but still very good. Their salsa is pretty watery but it has a mild kick and is very fresh. Service is fast, small-town friendly and efficient.I've certainly had better mexican food, but this is still pretty good, especially considering you're in La Grange. I still think the Bon Ton would be a better choice, but even it's replacement (Mak's Roadhouse) has gone out of business. Maybe somebody will lease that building and re-open the Bon Ton? I sure hope so....

My husband and I have lived in Texas for about six months and this is truly the best steak we've had. The salsa was homemade and delicious. I tried my husband's steak and it was cooked perfectly. I had the fajita burrito and it was huge and very tasty. Service was awesome our server was so nice and even the people eating there were friendly. Sure the place is old and could be updated but you're there for the food not the aesthetics. We will definitely be back and refer this place to everyone

Great place to go after Church for buffet!!! Salad bar is always so fresh and good! Janie is our favorite waitress!!!

We were on our way from Austin to Houston and La Grange is the perfect halfway point. I'm not a regular and this was my very first time through. 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.

WOW. I have never eaten here until yesterday when I placed a take out order, and never will be returning. To begin with the gal taking my order clearly had no idea what she was doing or where she was considering I asked for a side salad on the seafood platter MULTIPLE times, whilst she continued to tell me there was no side house salad, but half orders of the main menu salads. I gave up and accepted one of those, till the very end of the call when she said "Oh yeah that seafood platter comes with a side house salad which dressing would you like?"... omg. Fast forward, I get to the restaurant to pick up my order, and the restaurant doesn't look very clean... I leave with my food and shortly get a call back from them saying, "You forgot your salad!" I go back to her handing me an empty box and pointing at the salad bar... Im not sure if that's the policy for togo orders, but if I had to make my own salad why would you ask why dressing I wanted. At this point I was upset and just wanted to go home and eat. I made my salad and as I am walking out this gal says something snarky about me making my salad (I was silent the whole time till she said something) I then turned around and looked at her and asked for the managers cell phone number and her name. I woke up this morning throwing up, and hate to think I also have food poisoning after this horrible experience. I work in service industry and have never experienced something like this. I'm very disappointed.

Walking distance from the Hampton inn, we tried this restaurant after reading mixed reviews. Very Good Tex mex food. Large portions good food. Restaurant is very plain, but it was much better than others in La Grange.They have happy hour 5-7 alcohol half price. A margarita for $2 well worth it.Waitress very friendly and attentive.
