    Decent Tex Mex food here! They have a lovely decor inside and service is great! Our group shared some chips and dips. I shared the Mahi Mahi Entree since I wasn't feeling anything too heavy and a steak quesadilla. Quesadilla was perfect and cheesy. The Mahi Mahi had Alot of cabbage topping, but I liked it paired with the fish. Oh and the churro and sopapilla desserts were great. Just be sure to eat them while fresh and warm.

    Chicken enchiladas

    Service was good. Super nice waiter. Business was nice and clean with fun ambiance. Food was not good at all. Dry, no flavor and definitely over priced but it's the Kalahari so expected with the price. Drinks were ok. There were 5 of us and nobody could eat half of the food. Just not good. They made it look good though. Definitely eating somewhere else next time here.

    Classic margaritas

    This was a nice restaurant at the resort. They have a nice happy hour before 7pm. The food and service were good! The food came out rather quickly and it was a nice proportion.

    Tacos were four dollars each.

    This restaurant is inside the Kalahari in Round Rock Texas. It is designed in an elementary fashion. It is not designed authentically Mexican at all. It is a very clean restaurant. Reservations are recommended, as this is the inside a resort atmosphere that is very busy. We opted to sit at the bar because no reservations are required to sit at the bar. My husband got fajitas, rice and beans and a strawberry margarita. I got 2 chicken tacos and an iced tea. All of the meat provided at this restaurant is marinated and contains processed sugar. Kaylee, my server, was nice enough to go talk to the kitchen and they had one piece of chicken that had not been marinated and she had them make tacos for me out of that one piece of chicken. That was exceptional service. The food is pricey. My tacos were four dollars each. A small bowl of guacamole was $11. My husband's fajitas were $29. The food was fine; not great . This would be a good place to take children. It is designed with pictures on the wall that children would appreciate. It is spacious and simple.

    Carnitas Burrito
    Gregg M.

    We were a group of 4 for Friday night dinner. It's January so probably explains the small amount of people for dinner. We had a friendly server who gave us plenty of time to make our choices. We had queso con carne which was unusually tasty as an app. Definitely freshly made and the chips were very crispy too. Entrees included my carnitas burrito which may have been the most flavorful burrito I've ever had! Others had enchiladas and the fish dinner. The only reason this wasn't a 5 star experience was the fact I had to ask for a spoon twice! First for the queso and the second for my charros. We got one but not the second . Restaurants don't need to scrimp on silverware especially when the dinner for four was $130+. We will return since the quality was outstanding. Definitely a repeater! Hopefully they'll take the hint. Cheers

    This was surprisingly, really good. Kalahari restaurants tend to be all over the place, so you don't know what to expect. I will be fair, I kept getting mixed reviews from my friends. Some raved. Some said it was mediocre food at best. I came in with low expectations, because of the random inconsistency among friends who have visited this place. First, you do need a reservation. You want a reservation. Otherwise you either will not get in or have a 2 - 3 hour wait. Previous times I've come, this happened to me. My husband was very smart for this Kalahari trip and made a reservation the day we checked in. The entry also gives this false illusion that it's a tiny restaurant. It's a huge restaurant. However, it's very long, rather than wide, which gives that false impression. Service was semi slow, not fast, but not so slow you needed to complain. The waiter did warn us ahead of time, which may be why I was more patient. I kinda like getting this kinda information upfront. They do have a nice tequila selection, however I was not here for fun, but for a work conference so I drank the agua de jamaica, which was a lovely hibiscus drink. Everyone can do a decent taco, so instead I went for the chile relleno. The menu was a little confusing, because it listed things, and I wasn't sure if those were filling options or everything on top. The chile relleno is not a large chile, but they did build good flavor with the picadillo and cheese sauce on top. Maybe the chile could have been burned a minute or two longer to get that smokey flavor, but otherwise it was nice. Beans were great, rice was okay, however my husband liked it enough to continue stealing from it. I think to prevent a mixed experience, do the reservation, try something other than tacos, if you're not on a work trip be adventurous and do a tequila flight, otherwise go for the horchata or jamaica.

    Dining area in the very back of the restaurant. The entire place is huge and actually seats over 400 people.

    After a long day at the waterpark, the adults took a break from the kids and explored the resort. We decided we needed dessert, and found a table at Cinco Ninos, about an hour before closing. The hostess, or waitress Kristie, and everyone else that helped with water or food was super nice and friendly. Kristie was apologetic for any delays on our food, and made sure to give us updates on it when working her tables in our seating area. We ordered an app, a side salad, and dessert. These three items were delicious! I loved the tangy vinaigrette on the salad, and the chimichurri sauce on the queso was amazing! The Tres leches was actually a big portion, and we couldn't finish it. The next time we go to the Kalahari, we'll be dining here!

    Housemade guacamole
    Courtney B.

    Announcement--------------review siiiiiiiixxxxxx-hun-it------ 600! I came to this location towards the end of last year with a friend to celebrate a birthday. We ordered a variety of menu items to include house-made guacamole, mixed grill fajitas and a special order of salsa and guacamole. Mixed Grill- The chicken on this menu item was chewy and lacked the flavor of the other two meats. However, the shrimp while small in size did have adequate amounts of spices which provided a mesquite pepper taste. Guacamole- The guacamole was okay but wasn't anything memorable. The food was overall okay but not nearly worth the price point that the establishment demands (I paid approximately $70 for the menu items before the drinks). If one is visiting the area and doesn't care to leave the resort, this may be the best bet. However, if one does have a car (rental or otherwise), it may be wiser to venture down the road to Torchy's or the like and get more bang for your buck and enjoy better quality food.

    Queso, Salsa, and chips

    This restaurant is FUN! Love the bright colors, decor, and all the fun quotes. Staff was excellent of course. We really loved our waitress Amy, she was incredible. We got all the meals she recommended and we 10000% would eat it all again. Super flavorful and reasonably priced. I would like to say though, this is TEX MEX. Not traditional Mexican so if that's what you're looking for, this isn't the place. The queso with the chimmichuri was great! We loved the addition of the chimmichuri, it elevated it without overpowering it. The salsa was also good, more of like a deep smokey type salsa. I don't think the salsa they offer is one that would appease the masses, but my family liked it. The 2 tables around us though did not. Both taco dishes were great. The barbacoa was cooked beautifully and the green sauce they served with it was a spicy compliment to the dish. Fajitas were just okay, that's why I didn't give the 5th star. I really feel like I got ripped off on the chicken. Those 3 little pieces was unacceptable to me but I didn't complain, the shrimp was good and made up for it. Finished with the tres leches cake and the tequila flight. The cake was WOW. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but it was probably the best tres leches cake I've ever had which shocked me. I'd eat here again but maybe skip the fajitas.

    We came in during our stay at the resort, and this is a beautiful establishment, from the paintings on the walls to the beautiful setup of the bar. The overall ambiance is warm and playful. Outstanding service from the waiter from start to finish. I could not have asked for better services. Now the food this restaurant gives you plenty. We were stuffed! My spicy margarita was so good. I will, without a doubt, return--delicious food. I do recommend it.

Thinking this was actually going to be a ribeye steak, that's what I ordered. The breading was good, not overly heavy, the gravy was tasty, although very peppery... so far so good right? If this was a ribeye, this was the thinnest, most gristley ribeye in the history of the world. I had to spit out almost half of it because it was full of tough, fatty chunks of gristle!! Very disappointed in this and would never order it again from here! The mashed potatoes were mashed potatoes, but still on par. The steamed vegetables were boring, and plain, but still edible. On the other hand, my dining partner's pork chop was impressive and he ate every bite. He said he would be back again for the pork chop! He liked the demi-glaze, as well as the well seasoned mushrooms on top. The people we encountered were very nice and friendly. We were hoping to find a new restaurant close to home, but it didn't hit the mark with the paper, thin, gristly CFS. Very disappointed.

The Bichota cocktail was a standout--sweet, refreshing, and with just enough of a kick to keep you sipping slowly. The Old Fashioned was equally impressive: sweet yet balanced, served in a stylish glass with a unique holder that made the experience feel elevated. For food, the chicharrón with fried yuca and tostones was perfection. The pork was fried to a crisp golden shell without being greasy, and seasoned just right--not too salty, but enough to make every bite crave-worthy. The yuca and tostones were cut to the perfect thickness for even cooking, with a satisfying crunch outside and tender inside, especially when dipped into their garlicky sauce. The cheese sticks are an absolute must-have--crispy outside, oozy inside, and dangerously addictive. And the arepas? Exceptionally good--stuffed with beans, cheese, beef, and sweet plantains for that perfect salty-sweet balance. Every plate showed attention to texture, seasoning, and presentation. Price Considering the quality of ingredients, creative plating, and generous portions, the prices felt fair for a fusion dining experience. The cocktails were crafted with care and worth every penny. Appetizers could easily be shared, making it easy to get variety without breaking the bank. Environment We sat outside and it was amazing for groups, dates, and inside it is super cool. The décor is not fancy but really fun Austin style. There is a section bar where they play music which I want to try. Service The service was cool and amicable. It looks the server was new but he did give recommendations. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great pairing suggestions. Dishes came out at a good pace, and drinks were refreshed quickly. You could tell the staff was proud of the food they were serving, which made the whole experience even better. Overall: If you're looking for a place where Latin flavors meet creative execution, this spot is worth the visit. Come hungry, order a mix of small plates, and don't skip the cocktails--or the garlic sauce.
