2 Best Restaurants in Kerrville, The Hill Country

In Kerrville, Mamacita's is as much a tradition as Frito pie at high-school football games. Though billed as "authentic" Mexican food, it's more along the lines of standard Tex-Mex fare and about as straightforward as you can get.

Just off the railroad tracks in Kerrville is a cheery café with red trim, cream timber siding, and a cute outdoor patio. Built in 1915, the house once served as a train depot but has been transformed into a fantastic little restaurant offering a variety of homemade soups, salads, and hearty entrées. Standouts include the curry chicken salad, shrimp tacos, and grilled bison burger.
