This is the cutest little cafe you'd never expect to find in Texas. Located in Rocksprings (pop 830), about 58 miles northwest of Leakey. The drive thru the Hill Country is always spectacular. This small cafe offers a pretty diverse assortment of Thai food.
There are only four eateries in town. The chef at the Lotus Thai Café moved to Rocksprings from Thailand. The owner, Aisika Davidson, people call her ‘A", is from Thailand. She used to work as a sous chef in Vegas, but her dream was to own a Thai restaurant.”
On this day I was solo and drove over for the 11-2 lunch. I have always enjoyed Oriental cuisine, but Thai might be my favorite. I make Pad Thai at home a couple of times each year. The driver over through the Hill Country is usually quite beautiful, but today it was drizzly with the ridge tops pretty much shrouded.
The dining room only holds about 33 folks, but that is plenty in a town this size. Today's lunch special @ $8.99 was Thai Broccoli, Chicken, and Rice. I, however, went with the Thai Orange Chicken. The only rice they offered was white. I prefer brown, but that's ok.
I loved my meal. They give you plenty of food. So much that I couldn't finish all mine. The service was excellent. The place was about half full for the lunch crowd, but the waitress was constantly moving, satisfying every customer, including me. Total price for the meal was $14.95. A long drive, but a meal well worth the effort.
