About This Spot

Step into Parrilla Medina and you’re gently transported to an intimate corner of Mexico, right in the heart of Lampasas’s historic downtown square. The old building’s well-kept charm holds an inviting stillness that encourages slow moments—conversations linger here, and meals unfold with a comforting, unhurried rhythm.

This is a cozy, unpretentious spot where warmth comes as naturally as the food’s humble authenticity. The atmosphere carries the soft hum of friendly voices and casual laughter, a reflection of the attentive service and genuine care woven into every visit. You’ll find that the place draws in locals and visitors alike, those who appreciate the kind of gathering space where you feel more like a welcomed guest than a customer.

The flavors at Parrilla Medina don’t shout—they offer a steady, heartfelt embrace that stays with you. Enchiladas arrive quietly rich, braided deeply with tradition and earnestness, often leaving a lasting impression through their unique sauces and the honest use of ingredients, like hand-pressed corn tortillas crafted with subtle pride. Alongside every bite, the carefully made salsa and subtly balanced accompaniments invite you to savor each mouthful slowly.

There’s a particular kind of joy in finding a place like Parrilla Medina: one where food, place, and people blend so naturally. Whether you’re sharing a meal to mark a family moment or just pausing for a solo taste of something honest and satisfying, this spot holds space for those human moments that linger long after the last bite.

Food and service were great. The beef enchiladas were delicious. The meat sauce that is served on the enchiladas was very unique and flavorful. The neat old building was clean and is in a cool location on the downtown square. Fill your belly full of good food from this restaurant. They won an award for best enchiladas and I agree.

The green and sour cream enchiladas are amazing! The salsa also did not disappoint and I’m picky! Lovely service.

This was our first time here, didn't know about this jewel. Service was excellent, our server, Nicholas, was great! I'm a bit of a Mexican food snob, so when I say this place has the best enchiladas I've had in a long time you can believe it. First, they are made with corn, not flour, tortillas. That's a huge thing for me. They come with cheese unless you ask for beef, just an FYI, but even then, the sauce they put on top has plenty of flavor. The beans are delicious, the rice is good and their chips tasted nice and fresh, and considering we came a little before closing I was really impressed! I highly recommend this place over Linda's and El Rodeo as well. This will be our new regular Mexican restaurant from now on. Oh, and the prices are great too!!

Cool little Mexican Restaurant in downtown Lampasas!! We ate there for my brother's 17th birthday and everyone really enjoyed the place. Would recommend and will definitely be back!
