If you’re looking for affordable drinks to pair with tacos, this is the place to go! I came for Taco Tuesday and was impressed with the great specials and excellent service. Definitely a great bang for your buck!”

We went here last night for group gathering along with music (Fusion) drinks and food. Cool little place in downtown RR. Not too busy. Service was better than expected for the amount of employees in hand compared to customers. Music was great! Loved the band and would see them again. Parking was also easy and free! Unfortunately the food was terrible. Zero taste. No seasoning, nothing. Literally, not gross but absolutely tasteless! I’m not sure why anyone would say this place has good food. Dead taste buds perhaps? Or they don’t know what quality food tastes like? We had loaded queso-no flavor. Barbacoa tacos-no flavor. Premium margaritas-no alcohol taste. Tart and tasted like a supped up lemonade. Drinks were cheap, that was our first clue they might not be any good. Reminds me of the Oasis, go for the atmosphere NOT the food. Otherwise, we had a great time. Oh, black beans DID have flavor and were quite tasty. Not sure what happened to the rest of the food.

Great spot to make your regular Saturday night hangout, food is amazing, service is great and there is live music almost every day in the lounge.

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!

Visiting downtown Round Rock and stopped here for lunch. We were not disappointed as the Nachos and Margaritas were fantastic. Great service as well. This is a hole in the way but don’t let the looks fool you as the food is really good.

OUTSTANDING neighborhood cantina with great drinks (Happy Hour all day!), delicious food (the barbacoa tacos were amazing!), and friendly, helpful, courteous service. Adolfo, one of the bartenders, was the perfect host and reason enough to return to his watering hole. If you’re in Round Rock and trying to pick a restaurant, look no further than The Alcove Cantina. And it’s the perfect place for an after-work happy hour!

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.
