Burros Tex Mex Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Round Rock

So excited to try this place out, especially after reading all the amazing reviews.

It's a Saturday night and there are quite a few patrons at tables enjoying their meals, but not so many there is a wait time to be seated. The decor is cute and the place is clean - which is always something I like. We were seated immediately by a nice young woman at a booth that was clean and cozy. There is nice decor on the walls and the lighting is relaxing. We dig into the menu to get an idea of what to order, right off we begin with Queso and drinks and after which moved on to our dinners.

Between us we ordered:

Brisket Relleno: The hubby ordered this with Tomatillo sauce and was very pleased with the dish. The Poblano Pepper was stuffed with delicious brisket and smothered in a delicious Tomatillo sauce. He loved this dish.

Cheese Relleno: One of the few places where I can honestly say - stuffed with melty yummy cheese that overfills that delicious fresh pepper - so much so the cheese was melted all around the pepper and packed inside of it. I opted for the Creamy Poblano sauce, however, the first plate was with Ranchero sauce. After asking the nice waitress about it, she returned the plate and brought me out a fresh one with the sauce she raved about and I ordered. Yes, it took a while to bring the correct one out, but then I know it was a fresh dish and not just a mistake that was scraped off and corrected. Thank you for making the way I ordered it fresh instead of reheating a corrected dish. The Pablano sauce was every bit as good as I was told it would be. I imagine it would be awesome on Chicken Enchiladas.

Frozen Margaritas: Both Lime and Strawberry - both very good, well balanced with liquor to mixer - worth the money.

and of course;

Rice: Tex Mex rice - very fluffy with good balanced flavors, better than most I have had in the area.

Charro Beans: Very good, worth ordering again, not spicy and great flavor combination.

Chips: Think chips which I like from time to time, warm and fresh with just the right amount of salt.

Table Salsa: Very good flavor - fresh and a bit of heat but not too much so that it is not enjoyable.

Queso: Probably the least favorite of my dishes here. I love queso and have had much worse other places but have also had much better. Tastes more like melted American Cheese with not much anything else added. Enjoyable but not something I would order here again.

Even though there was an innocent mishap with my order, I did not let that affect our dinner. The food was excellent, cost is decent, and customer services good. We cannot wait to make a return...

We decided to try a new MX/TexMex place rather than Juarez Restaurant, and this one was among the most highly rated in RR. Don't think we'll be back.

FOOD = 2-3: Don't often see fried avocado tacos, though Chile Relleno is slightly more common. We got those, an Horchata, & a Mexican Martini. Salsa with the chips was decent. · Tacos were pretty good w/o the creamy poblano salsa, though lacked a bit of salt. Once added, they improved. · Chile Relleno was also pretty good, but only because I requested the Chipotle salsa on it. The Ranchero sauce it was supposed to come with was oddly sweet and lacked any other complexity or flavor. Frankly, it wouldn't have been good. · Horchata was terrific! Not overly sweet, and it had that toasted rice flavor one rarely finds most places. · Mex Martini was downright bad. So sweet I couldn't taste any booze or lime in it. Just syrupy bottled Margarita mix. Just bad.

SERVICE = 3 (though I wasn't the easiest customer): Started off very friendly and relatively attentive. Got less so after I asked if there was an extra charge for a side of Verde salsa. There was, so I asked if I could get a taste of each. She kind of reluctantly agreed. As I said, the red salsa was TERRIBLE, so chose Verde. She ran off, after which I noticed there was Chipotle. I went after her but she was in the kitchen, so when another waitress came by, I told her if they could hold off the Chile and let me have a sample of the Chipotle. Our waitress brought that over, and as soon as I tried it I asked for it, please. She said they'd already made my order. I disappointedly said ok. She came back and said they remade my order. That saved both my service and food ratings from being lower!

ATMOSPHERE = 3: Walking in, the place had kind of a weird layout and feel. Then, I realized it was likely a converted former Pizza Hut our something. It was nicely decorated and had nice murals. The men's room was fine, though could be a little better kept, and was out of paper towels in the dispenser.

Overall, we won't likely be back. We'll stick with Juarez when we're in...

My family and I (5 adults and 2 kids) were looking for somewhere to eat (kids were on their last strand of energy) after a long day at Kalahari and ended up getting here 20 minutes before closing. It was totally unintentional but when we walked in we didn't get dirty looks or anything but were welcomed very nicely.

Fatima was our server and she was knowledgeable, quick, nice and let me say that again, NICE. She didn't rush us; if anything she just asked that we order before 9pm since the kitchen was closing but we're welcome to stay as long as we wanted.

The food was amazing. We're not the easiest people to please when it comes to taste but we were so pleasantly surprised. All 7 of us enjoyed everything!

The chips were fluffy and crunchy, food came out fresh and hot. My husband and I shared mix fajitas and the meat was delicious. I hadn't had fajitas that good in a very long time! Even the chicken and we're not really fans of chicken fajitas but, yummy! Refried beans and rice also delicious.

We ordered a couple of draft beers and they were perfectly cold.

Pricing is reasonable. I think pricing falls in line with other restaurants (I'm from Houston).

Restaurant was clean. Didn't...
