01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Situated in the heart of Round Rock, Texas, Tequila Bar & Grill is a vibrant Mexican restaurant and Tex-Mex haven that promises a delightful culinary escape. Known for its robust flavors and generous portions, this welcoming eatery masterfully blends traditional Mexican recipes with Texan flair, creating a menu that’s as comforting as it is exciting.

Dive into their Grilled Platters & Carnes Asadas where the 12 oz. RibEye Steak and Shrimp Tarasco stands out—a perfectly grilled ribeye paired with jumbo shrimp sautéed in a creamy, flavorful sauce adorned with red onions, poblano peppers, mushrooms, and parmesan cheese. The sizzling aroma alone beckons for a bite, and the rich combination of tender steak with succulent shrimp delivers on taste with every mouthful. For those craving a heartier experience, the Steak & Enchiladas combo featuring ribeye served on sautéed onions alongside shredded chicken chipotle enchiladas is a feast that satisfies both texture and flavor cravings.

If you’re leaning toward lighter options, the Healthy Platters are a revelation. The Steam Fish platter, consisting of a fresh 7 oz. fish fillet wrapped with tomatoes, jalapeños, mushrooms, and vibrant yellow and green squash, arrives steamed to perfection and bursting with freshness and subtle spice. Equally noteworthy is the Fish Vegetal with its steamed medley of colorful vegetables complementing the delicate fish, making it a refreshing yet fulfilling choice.

Those who crave variety will appreciate the Mixed Plates, such as the Mexico Lindo, featuring a green enchilada, beef fajita chalupa, and a topping of crisp cabbages, tomatoes, queso fresco, and Mexican sour cream. It’s a delightful convergence of textures and tastes that keeps you coming back for more. The Corazon Platter and El Mexicano both showcase classic Mexican comfort food with a gourmet touch—crispy tacos, enchiladas, and mini tacos packed with rich, vibrant fillings that create a memorable dining experience.

What truly elevates Tequila Bar & Grill beyond the food is its inviting atmosphere. The friendly, unpretentious staff effortlessly balances attentiveness with warmth, leaving diners feeling like honored guests. Amanda Courteaux beautifully sums it up, celebrating the attentive yet unruffled service amidst a lively birthday gathering. The restaurant’s interior strikes a perfect balance between casual comfort and polished design, making it ideal for everything from relaxed breakfast outings to evening celebrations and family dinners.

Customer reviews reiterate this sentiment: from Robert N’s praise of the inviting ambiance and delicious meals like tacos al carbon and chicken veggie dishes, to Ben H’s impressed astonishment over the affordability paired with top-notch quality — especially the outstanding steak quesadilla. The quick service and consistently fresh dishes have earned the restaurant repeat visits from both locals and newcomers alike.

If you’re visiting Round Rock and craving genuine, crave-worthy Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine in a warm, welcoming setting, Tequila Bar & Grill is a destination well worth your visit. Their dedication to flavor, variety, and hospitality transforms every meal into an experience that lingers long after the last bite.

Went to celebrate my birthday and we had a table of 6. The waitress didn't get intimidated and maintained every request without blinking an eye. The food was delivered fast and deliciously devoured. The drinks were amazing as well. Would recommend everyone visit, because we know we'll be returning

We stopped in during breakfast hours yesterday and I have always wanted to try this place. I see that it is often packed on the weekends and evenings. I am so glad we did. When we walked in the staff was so nice and welcoming. Service was great! I ordered a carne guisada burrito with cheese and it was huge for the price! My husband ordered the beef fajita lunch burrito with beans and rice. I am picky about beans at Mexican restaurants and these were delicious. I love the rice. I even added a side order of rice for myself after trying my husbands. The beef fajita meat was so flavorful yet tender. Same as my carne guisada. The chips and warm salsa were yummy. The inside is beautiful and fun. Thank you for an excellent first experience.

I came here with my daughter based on her suggestion so we could catch up. She had a chicken veggie dish and I had a tacos al carbon platter and both were delicious! The place has a great menu and the interior is a very inviting and good spot to hang out.

Very nice and clean establishment, the food and service were great. Food came out fast and hot! It was also one of the best- if not the best- steak quesodilla I've ever had. The quesodilla plate was only $10 too. For how nice it looks I expected higher prices without the quality to match the price. Was surprised how affordable and delicious everything turned out. Definitely going back!

I have dined in once. It’s been a while, so came by for drive thru takeout! Fast, patient service. I took time to browse the menu and wasn’t rushed. My shrimp quesadilla was hot and yummy. Thank you.

Such a great local spot! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and family-oriented. The food was fantastic—authentic Mexican food with so much flavor. The menudo was delicious, and my husband ordered tacos that were just as good. Service was wonderful as well. The owner’s son was working and was incredibly sweet and attentive, which made the experience even better. You can really feel the pride and care that goes into this family-owned restaurant. Great food, great drinks, and a great environment. Highly recommend supporting this local gem!
