I'm so picky about Mexican food... I mean, it's bad, y'all. This spot is a cute little house in Round Rock that has some pretty decent fare. The salsa is pretty tasty and has a spicy kick. I prefer a more chunky salsa that's cold, but this was pretty darn good. The chips are homemade and hot and yummy! THANK THE CHIPS GODS! Now, onto the food: I got Caldo de Reyes. I was thinking I should get the small bowl, since the spot I go to usually has a giant bowl of Clado... I went ahead with the large, just in case. I have enclosed a photo- it was the size of the palm of my hand. It was very tiny, several carrots and a teeny tiny piece of meat. The corn, which I am used to being about 1/4 of a cob, was also a teeny tiny piece. It was just weird. I asked to make sure I had indeed gotten the large and was assured I had. I ordered a grilled steak taco to give that a try and it was good! Ok portion of meat, fresh corn tortilla. All in all, the place is good and I'd go back if I was in the area. My only complaints would be that there was no refill on chips & the portions were expensive for being super small. There were two of us and the bill was about $30. This was expensive for a hole in the wall Mexican food spot. read more

Ordered for delivery from here today and was very disappointed. The order arrived on time and all items ordered were received. However we had ordered the bag of chips & salsa ($2.99), we received a lunch size paper bag only about 1/4 full (if that) with chips and 3 tiny cups (single serving) of salsa. But wait; there's more; my burrito of bean, potatoes and cheese had a rotten potato in it along with a couple of hairs!! I threw out the burrito and notified Door Dash of the issue with the burrito; which to me are health violations and shows lack of quality control. EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED AND WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN!! read more

Very good place. Really good food and amazing services 100% recommend best food around hands down.

My sweetie and I were looking for something different today, so we looked on Yelp and found this place that has lotsa stars. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. It might not show as well from the outside, but from what I could see, they kept the inside clean and sanitary. We both tried their beef fajitas and were disappointed. The meat would have been pretty good but it was not hot. It seemed like they had made the meat several hours before. Rice and beans were okay. Their orange (habanero, I assume) sauce was tasty and much milder than I expected. Chips were crisp. Biggest complaint is their food was just not hot. I will probably not be going back, given the number of good Mexican food places in Round Rock. read more

Me- Let's grab a bite, i'm hungry. Wife- OK, what would you like to eat. Me- How about some Mexican food, i bet there is a good place here in RR Wife-Punches the directions in the GPS after checking out Yelp. We arrive, park in the small parking lot by a small building, walk into the establishment, best decision we made, in our hunt for choices of Mexican food in Austin. We were greeted right away and requested to sit as we wanted to dine in. Javier was super attentive to every question we had, bringing out the sample of the Jamaica for us to make an informed decision. I had the chilaquiles with the green salsa, when the dish came out and wasn't made right, he fixed the miscommunication with the back of the house, before we had to deal with any of that. The plates came out plated beautifully. First bite and we took an express train to flavor town. The rice and beans, ah, hit the spot. The wife's breakfast order came out and it was a piece of art. The eggs were perfectly cooked for the dish, the Rojas Salsa was smokey and flavorful, enhancing the flavors of the dish. What impressed me most about the establishment is the care and pride the business has for what they put out on the table, truly a well run operation. The management is engaging with their customers, not overly, but making sure they have what they need, & deliver beyond that. Thanks for the excellent meal & a complete dining experience. read more

worst food and service, order was wrong then also was over charged. I ordered 2 tacos and was charged almost 12 dollars. Both tacos were very small and didn't have the bean or cheese that they were supposed to have. read more

This is probably one of my most favorite place to get tacos! I'm never disappointed. The pastor tacos are so delicious and their homemade salsa is served hot. They have an amazing homemade green hot sauce that pairs very nicely with the tacos. read more

Traditional Mexican for a good price! Maria and the man in the kitchen are extremely friendly/helpful and the food is out quick!

We have been trying for quite some time to get in here, but the parking is very limited and its usually full when we take a shot, but this time the shot hit the mark...WERE IN!!...Service was very pleasant... we ordered the starters of Queso, along with some Chips and Salsa. To be honest, we were not impressed with the Salsa...Its served warm and really didnt have much flavor...Chips were the bomb...In house fresh made, something we do at home too...queso was small and chunky...veggies were a bit to crunchy for the wife...I enjoyed it...We were leery at this point, but when the Plates hit the table, they looked great. We Both went with Chiladas...Beef for the wife, and chicken for me. This was some seriously solid food. Both the sauces were very gratifying...Ground beef had stand alone flavor..Chicken was moist and tender...We both enjoyed the rice...light, fluffy and very pleasing...the beans were on point!!...I had to take a star because of the salsa..It something for us that completes the meal...I still recommend this place, but we will consider this a great addition to our adventure. read more

Honestly this was pretty disappointing. ONE piece of bacon for a whole breakfast burrito? And the tiny container of green salsa. Seems very cheap even though I paid over $6 for it. The tortilla is hard and not fluffy also. Not worth it. read more

Was staying nearby at a hotel and looking for some Mexican food, found this place and so glad we decided to go. David was fantastic with his service, recommendations and friendliness.

Very disappointed with the menudo--they were extremely stingy with the tripe and there wasn't any hominy in the soup. Flavor was there, but they were extremely frugal with the ingredients. read more

El Rinconcito - The amount of tripe in a large menudo - Mexican Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Food was yummy. I ordered chicken enchilada with red sauce and a chicken tostado. They both were very good. I'm used to a bet more melted cheese over my enchiladas but it was still very good. I can't wait to try more things on the menu. read more

This is a small "whole in the wall" restaurant. They mostly have/sell a variety of breakfast items. The tortillas semi fresh, barbacoa they claimed was made that morning but was disappointed very dry and lacked taste. The pozole and menudo were full of grease with less than a 1/4 cup of meat. This place is overrated and will not be returning for food that will make me sick. To their credit they did replace my soup with huevos rancheros which were cold, the beans tasted like they were from a can and potatoes that were hard and undercooked. read more

Oof. Got a steak torta from here and it was inedible. The meat resembled meat, somewhat, but was chewy and flavorless and did not seem like it was food grade quality. The bread was also disappointing and the filling was some sad-looking shreds of lettuce and tomato. I ended up throwing it away. It came with fries and the fries though were excellent! I liked the convenience of being able to pull up to a window for the food but not sure I'll ever be back. read more

We are from another state where there are many good Mexican restaurants. This one has excellent food and very nice people serving the food. We highly recommend it. read more

Hole in the wall restaurant. There restaurants are typically my favorite. I mean when I say hole in the wall I mean it! This place literally has three parking spots! The food is tasty. I had the green chicken enchiladas, boyfriend had the tacos and daughter had the burrito. The chicken enchiladas were a 7 of 10. The tacos were amazing, I took a few bites of the tacos (pastor & milanesa) our favorite were pastor. The tacos are served with grilled onions and a grilled jalapeño on the side, delicious! They offer complimentary chips and salsa. The chips seem to be home made. The salsa is served warm (temperature) and is delicious!! The agua de horchata beverage is amazing! Almost forgot to mention they have homemade tortillas!! According to the waitress the place has been open for a couple years. We will definitely be back again. read more

Used to come here when they opened. With previous owners. Service back then sucks and the food was decent. Except barbacoa was awfully bad full of fat, and menudo was the best thing they offered back then. A little ago a friend told me that were under new ownership and decided to give it a try. Some menudos and tacos after still coming and always with great food and excellent customer service. Thanks for the change read more

This food was pretty good! They have a comprehensive menu and even have Menudo!! I got the Bistec a la Mexicana. It was delicious. Came with refried beans topped with a sprinkle goat cheese, and arroz. I had some delicious horchata that wasn't too sweet like other places. Their salsa for chips is cooked. COOKED. Omg it was so good!! The staff was very hospitable, and genuinely happy to greet and meet every customer. I recommend this place. It's small, clean, easy to reach, and the prices are great. Noms! read more

This place had good reviews so we decided to try it out. The food was good. I wished I'd have added onions to my enchiladas for a little more flavor though. The queso was good as well! My only complaint was that it was so hot in there! Granted it's been in the 100s lately ...makes it difficult to cool but it was uncomfortable!!! I'd go back but only when the temperature is cooler. read more

I don't understand how this restaurant has good ratings. We ordered tacos and they were a disaster. The carne guisada was literally 5pieces of dry stew meat no gravy or anything. The barbacoa was dry and the cilantro black. The homemade flour tortillas we're definitely not homemade. read more

Most okayest Mexican restaurant that I've eaten at in a while. Ordered food (gorditas, slopes and milanesa plate) for delivery. Arrived on time and just as ordered. Big "meh" on all dishes. Nothing bad, also, nothing amazing that stood out. Each item was standard and average. With other comparable places around, this was a one and done for me. read more

Everything I've had here is great. The free chips and salsa are amazing, the horchata and jamaica are great, and the tacos al pastor are superb. The mini taquito plate is a great deal. Highly recommended. read more

They have a drive through, really delicious, reasonably priced food! I felt like I was eating my grandma's Mexican food

Sad when dad and I came by this morning... we tried it before (drive through)! Last few times it was okay. Today we went inside, no other choice now. He ordered 2 bean and cheese tacos. They should be ashamed of themselves!!! He's 81 and his tacos were like a thin layer of beans (similar to a thin layer of peanut butter with a couple of crumbled up cheese). How dare you serve something like that, I am embarrassed for y'all that was MEAN! read more

Ordered the menudo, it had no hominy. Who serves menudo with no hominy and makes you 'add' it on? The menudo was extremely greasy, so so greasy and lacked flavor. It tasted like grease! The barbacoa was also very greasy and full of fat. I was so grossed out by the amount of fat and greasy. The taco we ordered also lacked flavor, was very bland and nothing special. read more

I really enjoyed this place. The waitress was very polite, even though I couldn't understand her very well. The building has a nice smell to it. It's very faint, so I can't quite describe it, but it's good. The decor was simple, but it fit the style of the restaurant. The food was okay. Not the best, but I honestly think it's because they don't have the best ingredients. It wasn't overcooked or over spiced. Anyway, 5 stars. I will definitely return. read more

Placed an order on Uber eats - online there sides are $.50 for rice and beans so the manager called me after my order was placed and said "$.50 is to cheap for our sides so for today we can honor the $.50 sides but after today they are $1.50" like come on you twat update it on your website don't come at me with this information... never the less food arrived at my home and we get $.50 worth of rice and beans with the top of the cup labeled $1.50 with no salsa and no tortillas. ON TOP OF THAT the manager blocked our phone number as well lmao ! This place will be ran to the ground with the idiots running it lol read more

Came to this place for the homemade tortillas and was very disappointed. We tried the chorizo and eggs for breakfast and what we were given was far from it..tasted like they cooked the eggs in the oil of the chorizo and that was all. no flavor. the homemade flour tortilla was too thick and very messy from the flour. ended up with it all over my shirt. There's a couple of good authentic mexican food restaurants in the Round Rock area but this is pretty far from that. I can say that the beans were decent though. read more

I have been here multiple times in the past, and the food was pretty good. They have made a few mistakes, but I keep going back. We love flavorful food, salsa is really good. Today I got a few breakfast tacos and they were the worst I have ever had anywhere. Tortillas were falling apart, but still managed to enjoy them. Barely 1/2 a piece of bacon in each one. I guess it wouldn't bother me so much if they were cheaper. Almost $3 each for a small taco. I hope it's just a temporary problem, because I would like to go back here. read more

I'm really starting to question the validity of Yelp reviews. I gave this place a try after seeing all the good reviews and promising photos. I ordered green chilaquiles and was given a soggy mess, unlike traditional chilaquiles the tortillas where not fried before being put in the salsa, and the salsa had no flavor what so ever. I was looking authentic chilaquiles but i don't think I can even call these tex mex. The homemade tortillas are mediocre. VERY DISAPPOINTED!! PS. Rio Grande across the street has better chilaquiles read more
