    Sign off of exit 254
    Steve W.

    This little restaurant is located on exit 254 heading north on I 35. I stopped here while waiting for some work to be done on my car at one of the close by dealerships. Once you enter this establishment you'll notice it definitely does not have any corporate feel to it whatsoever. It appears to be a family run establishment where Spanish is spoken by the staff and the television. It's a relatively small establishment with about 15 or so tables and it does have a slightly run down look to it. Now for the good part, chips and salsa are complimentary. The red salsa is quite decent as are the chips. I had the beef enchiladas with red sauce and as the photo below shows, great portion! For the money, this place really delivers. It is your basic Tex Mex, so nothing really amazing. They do have some daily specials posted as well. Tip included, I was out of there for just $15!

    Soggy Taco with no flavor!

    First time stopping in for a to-go order and wanted some crispy beef tacos. I ordered the taco plate and I was truly disappointed. My rice was cold, the refried beans had no flavor and the tacos were so greasy that they were already soaking through the taco shells by the time I got to my car. The service was nice when placing my order but for my food to be cold lets me know I got old rice and my plate was just thrown together. I even gave them a tip for my to-go order. Will not be ordering here again and if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is not it!

    Nachos/chips is fresh and Salsa is really good. By default they give only Tomato salsa which has tinge of hotness(which I liked). I had to ask explicitly for Jalapeño salsa. Yesterday, they gave me Jalapeño salsa but today they did not give even after I requested. Food here is ( 4 stars )normal and tasty as every Mexican restaurant. I ate Chicken Burrito. Food can definitely be improved with a little more flavor to make me give 5 stars. Service can definitely be improved and employees can be little more patient than act as if world is going to end while taking order. With all the urgency shown, food arrives late( I finished full bowl of Chips and still waiting). There was food crumbs in between seating bench gaps which is kind of not cool.

    I had been here 15 minutes when I took this. Filty everywhere

    With all the good Mexican food restaurants we have in the Round Rock area, I would be hard-pressed to ever come here again. The place was filthy and the food was mediocre at best. The service was order at the counter they deliver to the table. Nearly every empty table had dirty dishes sitting on it. This place needs to just be shut down.

    Cheese enchiladas with green sauce. Heaven!
    Victoria B.

    Now THIS is Mexican food the way I remember it, growing up in San Antonio. The menu claims "Jalisco style." I'm a gringa, but I grew up on the west side of SA, and my Spanish sounds as good as yours (better, unless Spanish is your first language). Salsa is to DIE for: homemade and wicked spicy. Menu in both languages. The beans and rice are perfect. The cheese enchiladas- smothered in that stringy queso blanco so good you can't imagine anything better - are made of excellent corn tortillas. Blistering hot plate (that's how it's done back home). This is the real deal: the single location restaurant where the local folks can come for real Mexican breakfast and come back to get out of the heat and have an excellent lunch. Long hours, wonderful food, no pretense. Viva la familia. Viva Jalisco. !Viva La Tapatía!

    Great green enchiladas con pollo, small place, clean good Mexican place! The rice is not the best

    Cheese enchiladas with one chicken and rice and beans
    Ana F.

    I got chicken and cheese enchiladas. The cheese used is white, this is a Mexican restaurant. You should know damn well you don't use white cheese for no damn enchiladas. What an embarrassment. Also chicken is completely bland and tastes like they boiled it and put it in the tortilla, NO FLAVOR!!!! Mexican rice has color to fool you cause it also has NO FLAVOR. I love latapatia but this completely Ruined you guys for me and I will not be returning. Ok silverware came opened! That's even better. I'm so mad I used my cheat meal for this trash....

    Interior register cluttered with impulse items. Lots of Mexican candy's if that is your thang

Our server couldn't have been more friendly and outgoing. She was swamped (it was prom night with lots of formally clad students dining in) but never broke a sweat, never made us feel rushed or unattended and had a big smile from ear to ear throughout. I can't remember her name but I believe she is one of the owners daughters - and she's a real asset to the restaurant. My husband had a combination platter with all the favorites - enchiladas, taco, and a tamale, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I opted for something that was a little less---well, you know----but when in Rome---don't eat the spinach and mushrooms----get the tacos, savor the enchiladas. They know what they're doing and next visit I will lean into their expertise, enhanced by another Mexican martini. Buen provecho!

    Burros Tex Mex Bar and Grill is a great, casual spot in Round Rock to grab some Tex Mex classics…read more.. it isn't going to blow your mind but you can fill up on the complimentary chips and salsa, cheese enchiladas and quesadillas, and plenty of rice and beans. It's a little overpriced for what it is but it gets the job done. FAST FACTS: * Parking - lot out from of the building with plenty of spots * Happy Hour - couldn't find updated days and hours but they do have HH specials * Lunch specials from 11 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday SERVICE - We arrived around 6:30 pm on a Monday and they weren't busy at all (although it was Cinco de Mayo and they got busier as the night went on). We were seated right away and had complimentary chips and salsa brought to the table immediately (they're very mediocre). Our server, Fatima, made sure we had refills throughout the meal and the food came out quickly. PRICING - The total was $65.45 after tax ($4.99) but before tip for a Burros queso ($10.49), shredded chicken quesadilla ($14.99), Javier's plate ($17.49), and carne asada ($17.49). For basic Tex Mex, it seemed a little overpriced but the portion sizes are good. BURROS QUESO (6/10) - This is a basic chili con queso... it's topped with ground beef, guacamole, and pico but not much. I don't think I'd order this again because it isn't worth it for the price... I'd rather just order a small chili con queso. SHREDDED CHICKEN QUESADILLA (6/10) - It's a pretty standard chicken quesadilla served with shredded lettuce, pico, sour cream, and guacamole. You do get plenty of shredded chicken inside! This is great to split as an appetizer or get as an entree. I'd order this again. JAVIER'S PLATE (6/10) - It's a good portion size but nothing special. The grilled skirt steak had a nice flavor but is kinda hard to cut up and eat. You get rice, beans, and a small tortilla cup with lettuce, pico, and guacamole. I probably wouldn't order this again because I'd rather try other things. CARNE ASADA (6/10) - Again, it's a good portion size but nothing special. The grilled chicken breast is the same price as the diced skirt steak which doesn't quite make sense to me but you get a decent amount of sautéed onion, tomatoes, serano peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini. Again, you get rice, beans, and a small tortilla cup with lettuce, pico, and guacamole. I'd order this again if I want to get in some veggies with my meal. This was my first visit to Burros Tex Mex Bar and Grill and I probably won't rush to come back because there are other Tex Mex restaurants nearby that I prefer. It wasn't bad by any means, it just doesn't stand out (especially for the price). But, in a pinch, I'd stop by again if I was nearby and in the mood for Tex Mex.

I had never heard anything about this place before , however, the outside of the restaurant doesn't look like anything special but the moment you walk inside, it looks like someplace where people would go when they're on vacation. It's bright and cheerful and lots of photographs and decor. Someone took some heavy thought and a lot of time to decorating this place. I absolutely love it. It's clearly a nice festive place to be. They have a very inviting bar, which looks very friendly and fun. They have many tables and some booths. They also have outside seating. They sell their own Chuy shirts, and if you wear your Chuy shirt into the restaurant, you get a discount on another shirt! When we went to lunch at 1:30 on Wednesday, it was not busy. They did have some business, however. We were greeted promptly and kindly and seated in a booth. It wasn't too long before chips came with two types of salsa; one looked like pico de gallo and the other one looked like a jalapeño cream dip. I would've loved to have tasted that, but it goes against my dietary restrictions, but I can tell you that pico de gallo was great! And the chips were nice and crispy. We were provided with place settings that each were in their own individual envelope sealed with a little sticker and labeled "sanitized"; I liked that. I ordered shredded chicken crispy tacos with rice and beans and my husband ordered shrimp tacos and a margarita. My tacos were great. I really loved the tortilla. They obviously take a corn tortilla, shaped it themselves and cook it before they fill it and the extra care could definitely be tasted. The rice and beans were good, But I really liked the tacos best. My husband said his shrimp tacos were good too. The prices were quite reasonable. My taco plate was $12. I'm really glad I visited this restaurant today and I will definitely be back to try out more of the menu! I highly recommend you visit 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 food basically all arrived at the same time and the queso was served in a small soup cup-TONs of their queso and since it was family, double dipping the queso into the salsa was not judged; pretty decent. My tacos were good-the lettuce, tomatoes and cheese were just kind of tossed on top and not in but I guess that's what I get for ordering hard shell tacos. I should have gone full Taco Bell and just gotten the beef, the shredded chicken was just ok.
