    This place is gorgeous. The theming is on par with a Disney restaurant, you are transported into a lush Mayan jungle with greenery everywhere you look. The attention to detail is incredible. We started with the queso blanco, which is served in a volcanic stone bowl that keeps it perfectly warm and creamy far longer than a traditional bowl. It was absolutely delicious, and the portion was enormous. Honestly, six people could easily share it and still have plenty before the main course arrived. For our entrée, we ordered the chicken fajitas. The chicken was well-marinated, the presentation was beautiful, and both the rice and beans were excellent. Now for the few things keeping this from being a five-star experience. First, the tortillas. They tasted like packaged grocery store tortillas...think Mission brand. For me, freshly made tortillas are almost non-negotiable at a Mexican restaurant. When everything else is this thoughtfully prepared, packaged tortillas feel completely out of place. Second--and this is a hill I'm willing to die on--I ordered a Diet Coke and was told they only serve Coke Zero. I'm sorry, but those are not the same thing. Every Diet Coke fan understands this. Finally, the noise level was overwhelming. There was a soccer game on the TVs with the audio blasting throughout the restaurant. It was so loud that carrying on a conversation was difficult, and even hearing our waitress required her to lean in right next to us. This isn't a sports bar; it's a beautifully themed restaurant that happens to have a bar. The game didn't need to dominate the atmosphere. Overall, the restaurant is stunning, the food is very good, and the attention to detail is exceptional. If they started making fresh tortillas, offered Diet Coke as an option, and turned off the TV audio, this would be an easy 5+ star experience for me.

    FLAMING FUNDIDO

    This was my second time at Vidorra in Rockwall, and once again, Vidorra never misses. Everything we had was so good, the Horchata, Flaming Fundido, Verde Molcajete, and the salmon dish were all delicious. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere was great, and I'd definitely come back again. The only thing I'd recommend improving is the waiting area. It's pretty small, and when we were there, there were probably 15-20 people standing clustered together waiting for tables. Even reorganizing the space a little to maximize seating would make a big difference. Other than that, another great experience!

    CRISPY TACOS
    Randall B.

    Went for lunch on Father's Day. ordered the sampler plate first. They ask if wanted everything on it, asked to sub beef for chicken flautas and then ordered crispy taco plate. Food came out quickly. The server disappeared for 20 minutes beverages empty. Tacos were TINY, with too much salt. Borracho beans, perfect. Empanadas on the sampler, were amazing, consommé underwhelming. Server dropped off beverages and disappeared for 20 more minutes, dropped off the check, left again for 20 minutes. Charged extra for beef, without telling us, came back and said all subs are extra, here is your card It was a busy and VERY noisy day. even at 2pm we had to shout to talk. We like the area, but We will go to Glorias across the street next time. Vidorra is Not a good value. $$$$

    PARRILLADA EN FUEGO Molcajete
    Bill C.

    I've got a mixed review of Vidorra. At the end of the day, I don't think I'll be going back but that doesn't mean it was all bad. First, the good. Well, the good was definitely the chips and salsa. The chips were lightly dusted with some seasoning. I didn't take the time to figure out what it was, but it gave them a nice kick. So subtle but so significant. Unfortunately, my experience kind of dipped from there. Service was slow and a bit inattentive. I got the Molcajete parrillada en fuego. The literal translation is mortar grilled over fire. I should have asked what that meant because most Molcajete dishes are heated over fire. What it means at Vidorra is cook the meat, drop a hot coal in the mortar and put the cooked meat with a little mole on a grill screen over the mortar. It's basically a fajita dish served on top of the mortar bowl. However, it doesn't stay warm. Needless to say, I was disappointed. That said, the verde Molcajete that someone else got looked as expected. No one else (there were six of us) raved about their food. So, I'm in no rush to head back.

    Was recommended by a friend to try this place out and I would highly recommend!Lexi was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. She had great menu knowledge and even suggested a few menu items to try. Vidorra rockwall has gained new regulars!

    The food is always amazing here and the service is great. It's giving rainforest cafe Latino party vibes.

    Veggie enchiladas without lime crema drizzle and breakfast potatoes instead of rice & beans
    Rhonda M.

    On a recent trip to Rockwall, my friends ate here for dinner and loved it so much that we all went back the next day for brunch. The decor is beautiful, prices are pretty reasonable (some items are overpriced in my opinion, but most are average to good for the quality), our server was helpful and friendly, our orders were made correctly, and everything tasted ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We especially loved the salsa verde that came with the big basket of complimentary chips & salsa. The other included salsa had a smoky flavor and was the less hot option. We ordered a frozen margarita, the noche tropical drink, the breakfast chimi, the chili con carne enchiladas, and the veggie enchiladas with some modifications to make it more veg friendly. All of their rice and beans contain meat, so if you're a vegetarian ordering the veggie enchiladas, ask to substitute a different side. They substituted a different side for me at no extra charge.

    Wow, we decided to try Vidorra because we happened to be in the area, and I was not expecting this! The décor is really cool and actually reminds me of a place we used to go to that closed down--Hugo's Lost Colony. The outdoor patio and bar are amazing! It was a little warm when we went, but they do a great job circulating air and even have misters. I can only imagine how packed this place must get once the weather cools off. Tons of outdoor seating and the inside is huge as well. Service was spot on. We were greeted right away and went with the frozen house margarita (our server said it was better than the rocks version), and she was right--it was excellent. We also tried the guacamole. It was very tasty, but for the price the portion was a bit small, so I might pass on it next time. On the plus side, the chips and two kinds of salsa are complimentary--both were good, but I especially loved the smoky one. For my entrée, I had the three street taco plate with beans and rice. The portions were generous--I actually had a taco left over (and that's after filling up on chips and guac ). Pro tip: You can join the waitlist through Yelp. We walked right in and got seated on a busy Saturday night. Add Vidorra to the love list!

    Birthday dessert
    Stella C.

    Checked out the Vidorra Rockwall for my birthday! Service : Staff's attentiveness: If you were celebrating a birthday or other milestone, the staff went above and beyond. We went on a slow dinner but the host led me to a small table in the middle of the room. I requested to be by the wall and mentioned it was my bday and they moved us to a more spacious table. Food: everything we ordered was so good. The samplers, the tacos and birrias. Will definitely go back and check their happy hour!

    Guacamole
    Jeremy S.

    I came here with my family for happy hour and we were seated with about 5 minutes to spare before it ended, which was a nice plus. The ambiance was lively but still comfortable for conversation, and our server Franklin was friendly and attentive throughout the meal despite how busy it was. For drinks, I ordered a margarita on the rocks. While it was okay, it did taste a bit premade and watered down rather than fresh, which was a little disappointing given the happy hour vibe. The food, however, was solid all around. We started with the loaded fries, which my family really enjoyed, and I also tried the guacamole and chicken flautas both were flavorful and satisfying. For the main course, Franklin recommended the trompa beef and pork tacos as well as the barbacoa tacos. Great suggestions, the tacos were tasty and well-seasoned, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time considering the restaurant was packed. My family dad, wife, and sister appeared to enjoy their food as well. Overall, Vidorra Rockwall delivered a fun evening with good food, attentive service, and a lively atmosphere. The only downside for me was the margaritas not being as fresh as expected. Still, I'd recommend it for happy hour or a casual dinner with family and friends.

Since we were going to the show, why not go for dinner? I mean we have never been. Love that you can book reservations online. Super easy to get through the gate and it has amazing views. We were greeted by the host who was so kind. The place was super busy, I assume due to the show. So, we had to wait about 10 minutes. Table right in the middle of action... 1 min... 2 min... 7 minutes no greeting nothing and a woman walks by and says she will be right us. Cool. Thanks for letting us know. Walks past us 4 more times and nothing. The good thing is clearly someone else noticed and brought us water and said she was helping while the server got caught up. Okay. Everything will be OK. Whole ordering our drinks the server took over. Ordered drinks. App and 2 entrees. Then she was gone. 30 minutes after seating... nothing. Not even drinks yet. 32 minutes... she brings my husband's can of beer. No glass. No manhatten. She says they are working on mine. After 32 minutes (at least 20 minutes after ordering our drink)... can we have a glass? 5+ minutes later she brings me my manhattan... in a wine glass? Before I smell it I ask if its a manhattan because it looked like wine (damn good pour). Her response... I don't know. Never had one before. And still no glass. A. The Manhattan was fabulous and a ridiculously amazing pour. And for the cost... damn. Thats amazing. We decided she never rang in our drinks. Its the only thing that makes sense. It had really quieted down and the bartenders were working hard. And thats fine. But own it. Another 40 minutes and she stopped by once. Said our food was coming. But honestly haven't had a server who seemed to care less about her table in quite a while. Food came about 45 minutes after ordering. We ordered the Philly egg rolls... flavor was awesome. But they were cold. Clearly they had been sitting... for a while. Literally the cheese had melted onto each other and cooled. The entrees came at the same time. Smash burger and chicken fried chicken. Both honestly really good. The mashed potatoes were cold though... not sure if its because they werent kept warm in the prep station or if our plates just died waiting on server. Flavors were good though, including the gravy and fries. Good seasoning. We asked for ranch. Can you believe she never brought it? Nope us either. Seriously. The service was the worst we had in a while. It seemed exlusive to our table/server. I finally got her name at the end... Leandra. I am not trying to put her on blast everyone has a bad night. When my husband asked about the ranch. She said oh I forgot that too.. no apologies for that or the entire night. I said well it has been a rough night... she said yep. Here's the check. We are super nice... lots of grace... but this service made me almost want to not return. But... this is a small business trying to create something for our community. So im going to return oncs more and score is based on potential. But please owners.... staff is hard to come by, and maybe it was a rough night... but no one will survive if 30 minutes with not even drinks and cold food is acceptable. Its a beautiful space, flavorful food and great energy im very hopeful.

They even have great mocktail options, which I love when you want the experience without the alcohol. The most unique one that I've tried is the Pho Ya - it's Pho inspired and actually delicious. Cocktails and the menu are seasonal so you always get surprises. My favorite food options are the Salmon Poke, Beef & Rice Bowl, and the mussels. What really sets this place apart is the people- starting with the owners. The servers actually remember you, the owners are intentional about creating a unique, welcoming space, and you can tell they genuinely care about the community and giving back. The whole team feels connected--you can see they truly enjoy working together. And the vibe? Cozy in the best way. The patio feels like you're hanging out at home, just with better drinks and food. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to--and recommending to everyone.

    Another year, another visit. This place never disappoints. It is always lively, welcoming, and…read morecomfortable. It's the perfect mix of casual and upscale, if that makes sense. The service for me is that of a Michelin star as well as the flavor profiles they can pack into their food. This will always be a must-visit, and the el jefe cubano is spot on! Best Cuban sandwich I've had in Texas. If you haven't been and you're local, you must come, and if you are just passing, it is a must-try.

    I love this place! It's set in a beautifully restored old home, and the décor is absolutely…read moreadorable--everything is chicken-themed, just like the menu. The staff is always friendly and pleasant, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working here. There are plenty of seating options: a cozy bar area, three separate dining rooms, a large patio with its own bar, and even picnic tables out back. I think the upstairs may be reserved for private events. Every time I visit, I end up ordering the same thing because it's just that good--the Naked Chicken three-piece. Absolutely delicious! I'm also glad they now offer two sides with your entrée for a small extra charge. The mac & cheese and green beans are both amazing. I've tried a cocktail or two, but usually skip them since the portions are small for the price. Overall, this is such a fun, charming spot with consistently great food. Definitely one of my go-to favorites! Add it to the Love List

    Who would have thought the historic Oliver house in Rowlett would be transformed into a…read moreMexican-Inspired Fried Chicken spot? Not me! Brick and Bones Backyard is a blue house on the corner of Main St. in Rowlett, Tx, that has been transformed into something magical. This Mexican-Inspired "chicken shop" is offering fried & rotisserie chicken, classic cocktails, and live music in a rustic setting. The menu is diverse and offering all things chicken that is brined 24 hours, fried and can be order breaded or naked( for the gluten-free in you). They also have rotisserie chicken, tenders, sandwiches, salads, bowls and wings, along with unique sides. Poblano mashed potatoes, habanero mac n cheese, mexican corn, etc... often garnished with fresh radish and cilantro around out the menu, with top notch service to boot. Mi marido ordered the breaded fried chicken, mexican corn and poblano mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken was well seasoned with a great crunch. The potatoes had good flavor, but were barely warm. I can imagine their greatness heated. The mexican corn on the other hand was the real elote deal! The fresh snap of sweet corn, dosed with cotija cheese and spices lives up to the hype! Sweet, spicy, savory, it hit all the flavor profiles. I had the naked chicken with an order crinkle fries(faves) which was greatly appreciated for it's gluten-freeness and flavor. However, it was abit overcooked. Which left it thready and a little dry. The sauce that accompanied it, was needed, but shouldn't have been, while the fries were fresh, but undercooked. The concept and flavors make Brick & Bone standout on the chicken front. Better execution can make it a cut above the rest. Check It Out!
