Larry’s Cafe & Cantina

Driving down 59 and had some time so I figured I would get some breakfast. Found this on Unilocal.Only had 16 reviews but they were all good. This town is a small farming community in the middle of nowhere and about a mile off the highway. Pulled up and the sign says Larrys Mexican an Cantina. Red flag! However. I went in and was very happy I did. It is nothing to look at but the staff is friendly and the menu easily read. I had huevos rancheros. The plate is not pretty but the flavored are fantastic. May try to time my return trip so I can try lunch!

My husband & I came here our first morning in Texas & it was excellent. Very casual atmosphere, friendly staff & patrons. I was surprised that they start you off with chips and salsa for breakfast! Our server asked if we liked spicy and recommend the Huevos Rancheros. Two eggs cooked anyway you’d like & covered in spicy salsa. It came with tortillas, potatoes, beans & bacon. My husband had the barbacoa taco and the chorizo & egg taco. I have to admit, my breakfast was good but my husbands was better! I would go here every morning for tacos if I could.

Having not had breakfast in Wharton we went to see if Los Cucos was open as we really like their food. They were closed but we noticed Larry’s had a big breakfast crowd. Follow the crowd, right?
The inside of the restaurant is pretty nice. There is ample seating and tables without being jammed in. There is a TV in the main dining area which is nice.
Our waitress was friendly and attentive. That’s all we ask for and she delivered.
We got salsa and chips. Nothing special or disappointing here. The salsa stated out with a fairly mild but ends with heat on the tongue. Beware, the initial mildness is deceiving.
Our food came out and the portions were good. This is where our only disappointment came in. My wife’s bacon was obviously burned and dried out. It should have never come out of the kitchen in that condition. They were quick to change it out for some fresh that was much better. I had a fajita taco and a sausage and egg taco. Both were good. Wife said here breakfast was good too.
All in all, we were satisfied and wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

So DAMN GOOD! I had the Larry’s Mexican plate and there was so much food I cried a little because I couldn’t finish it all.

I have been a Larry’s patron for years. All the food is tasty! Our favorite is their breakfast — it’s the best in town and they serve it all day! Their coffee is incredible and worth leaving home for. Also have to mention the incredible service: their entire team is courteous and polite, they treat you like family!

Authentic Mexican food with great service and a delicious menu for breakfast lunch and dinner. Actually I think their breakfast is the best in town.
What I like about this restaurant is that it is family owned and operated and most days the owner himself will be in the restaurant. The staff is great. So friendly and great service.
They have a great menu selection and it is real, authentic Mexican food. I love it. A local favorite!
