7 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Kyle

“I was most impressed with the service. I believe our waiter was Brent and he was super helpful and on top of everything.
The manager was always making sure everything was going well and provided things for us without even asking.
Our waiter also recommended some food that was really good. The free chips and salsa were also top notch.“

“We’ve been longtime Freebirds fans and really want this location to succeed. The staff was friendly, and the manager went out of his way to cut fresh cilantro for us (after 2 other employees went to the back and said they were out), which we appreciated.

That said, our visit had several operational and cleanliness issues that were concerning. Some food on the line looked dried out or old, and there was spilled food left on the counter that wasn’t cleaned between orders.

For example, the employee preparing a burrito for the guest in front of us rolled it, unrolled it, and then gave it a firm smack on the counter, which caused part of the filling to spill out onto the prep surface. The mess that was left was then wrapped anyway. Fortunately, the customer asked for it to be remade and received a fresh one. However, the spilled food remained on the counter and was not wiped down before additional burritos (including ours) were rolled up on that same surface. We were handed foil with gunk all over it!

The tea station was out of order, and we weren’t informed before purchasing a drink. I bought the almost $3 cup for iced tea.

I do want to note that the young woman assisting us was very sweet, professional, and patient throughout the experience. I believe she said her name was Vanilla. She seemed to be doing her best in a challenging environment and handling situations that pointed more toward training and management gaps than individual effort.

I’m leaving 4 stars because the employees were kind and trying, but this location would really benefit from stronger leadership, better training, and more consistent attention to cleanliness and food handling.“

“Good Mexican home cooking. Sounds cliché but it reminds me of what my mom and grandma makes.“

“Love Love Love! Torchy's is great! I have yet to have a taco there that I don't like. The food is good, the atmosphere is good, ther service is good! I will absolutely continue to keep coming back.“

“I almost passed this little spot for breakfast tacos up for the TXB across the street...that would have been a HUGE MISTAKE. I had the Mexicana tacos and added cheese along with sausage patties on the side....chop the sausage and throw it in the taco....HELLLLLLLL YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!“

“We love the Round Rock location! The bar is where our breakfast club meets every weekend and Stacey Guzman works so hard to give the BEST SERVICE!! Mary is a very supportive manager and always greets us with a smile! Please support this staff and location!!!!“

“​Wow! My recent visit to Los Vaqueros Cafe & Grill was an absolute revelation. This place serves up some of the most authentic and delicious Tex-Mex I've had in a long time. The moment you walk in, you know you're in for a treat.
​I had to try a little bit of everything. The menudo was a standout—rich, spicy, and loaded with tender tripe and hominy. It's the kind of dish that makes you feel at home. The carne guisada was another highlight; the meat was fork-tender and the gravy had a depth of flavor that can only come from a well-loved family recipe. And don't sleep on the breakfast plates! My huevos rancheros were cooked to perfection, with a savory ranchero sauce that was simply divine.
​If you're tired of generic chain restaurants and want to experience true, authentic flavors, put Los Vaqueros at the top of your list. This is the real deal.“
