Our Story

A Little Cocina With a Lot of Heart

Tucked into a strip along FM 306, La Pasadita Cocina Mexicana started as a food-truck window and grew into a beloved neighborhood spot for the Canyon Lake community. It might be a little dated on the outside, but as one regular put it, "it has its own charm" — and the kitchen more than makes up for it.

Guests keep coming back for a menu with real variety: sizzling beef and chicken fajitas seasoned "not over-salted," cheesy enchiladas smothered in sauce, hearty breakfast plates served all day, and chips with salsa that's homemade and fantastic. One diner who lives just a few miles away called it "a treasure right in our backyard" after discovering the fajitas were, finally, seasoned perfectly.

Whether you're stopping in after a day on the lake or picking up dinner on the way home, the staff is consistently friendly and the kitchen gets your order right — dine-in or to-go.

"We've eaten here several times, and it's always been a solid option when we're craving quick Mexican food and don't feel like cooking. The menu has a lot of variety, the staff is consistently friendly, and they've always gotten our order right — whether dining in or picking up."

"Went today because of glowing 'Nextdoor' reviews. I was very well pleased with my #3 Mexican Meal and my wife gave high marks for her chicken fajitas. Her plate fizzled for 2+ minutes!"

"It's not a taco truck... it's a very cute little restaurant. Finally, perfect fajitas! Seasoned perfectly, not over-salted. I was beyond pleased with the quality, appearance, and taste of the food. This will be our new go-to Cocina."

"Had a breakfast plate at 3pm — cactus with eggs, beans and fried potatoes. Yum. Good corn tortillas, chips and salsas are homemade and fantastic!"
