It’s too loud for a lunch venue. This is because it’s not a restaurant, it’s a bar that serves really good grilled fish tacos. Rice and beans are top notch. Melissa was our server for the entire place and she was awesome! On top of everything and still managed the bar.

Wonderful locally owned restaurant. Cold drinks, great food, and a great casual atmosphere. Frequent live music and karaoke.

Went here for the firrst time for a TexMex dinner on a Sunday evening. It was busy, mostly with 30 - 40 year-olds at the bar. There are a few tables to sit at up front. Our server was a super nice young man who waited on us promptly and who was just wonderful. We had the 3-pick mix and match tacos and enchiladas that were all very good.

Lizzie our bartender was so cool. We just walked in for a cooler place to get a drink & found they have wonderful food options. The beef fajita quesadilla was yummy, we were able to share. Salsa was great! Good smoky flavor & nice heat. They had all the flavors of Deep Eddy's & found that, with Lizzie's recommendations, I love the pineapple!

Attended event in the speak easy at the Alcove. Great atmosphere, terrific service. Decent selection at the bar, but the inside bar looks to have more variety. Live music!

I'm new to the Round Rock area and was looking for a somewhat dive bar to have a couple of beers after work . I see this place called the Alcove lounge down the ally and figured hey close enough. I went inside, there is only 5 people in the bar. At first, the bartender greeted me nicely, but after finding out I wasn't with some company that booked the place for the day, she rudely said I will need to go to the outside area or main restaurant bar. I didn't mean to crash anyones party. There weren't any signs on the door indicating the lounge was reserved. Anyway, the bartender could have been nicer in the way she kicked me out of the place.. needless to say, im not going back there again. If anyone knows of any good, friendly dive bars in the Round Rock area. Please let me know..

WOW! Best Mexican food in Round Rock I've had to this date. Price was great! Came during lunch. I can see why it's always crowded!
Updated in June 2025, stopped in with the Mrs. for the Grande Nachos and a Drink. Still one of our favorite places after living here 10 years.

Only reason I come here is to see Tish and The Mizzbehavin band. She is awesome and the music is great.
The food is also great here. Definitely stop by if you are in the downtown area. The food is wells priced too.

Very unique and tasty chimichangas. I had the chili con carne topping and it was fab. I watched karaoke for a while expecting to have some laughs but the singers were amazing. It was like a free concert!
