    Every now and then, I find myself craving the kind of food that feels like home--not just Texas home, but the borderlands where the flavors of Texas and Mexico have spent generations shaping one another. That's what drew me to Conejos in Leander. After browsing the menu, I could tell this wasn't simply another Tex-Mex restaurant. It embraces the traditions of both sides of the Río Grande while adding a few creative touches of its own. Tucked into a shopping center just off the 183 Toll, Conejos welcomes you with rich colors and décor that proudly celebrates its Mexican roots. I started with the esquites, or Mexican street corn served in a cup. Growing up, I ate plenty of elote from street vendors in Mexico, and while this version comes with the comforts of air conditioning and clean tables, it doesn't sacrifice any of the bold flavors. Sweet corn, creamy sauce, chile, cheese, and lime come together in a way that reminds you why this humble street food has become a favorite on both sides of the border. For my entrée, I ordered the birria quesadilla. Birria has become one of Austin's hottest food trends, but Conejos does it justice. Tender, slow-braised beef is tucked inside a flour tortilla that's griddled until crisp, with cheese caramelized along the outside rather than simply melted within. Served alongside rice and beans, it strikes that familiar balance between traditional Mexican cooking and the hearty Tex-Mex comfort many of us grew up enjoying. Every bite felt both familiar and refreshingly different. The hospitality matched the food. I asked for recommendations, and the staff took the time to explain the menu with genuine enthusiasm instead of rushing me through the line. The owners also operate the neighboring Rabbit Hole bar, carrying the rabbit theme from one business to the next. I'll save that visit for another day, but if the food and hospitality at Conejos are any indication, I already have a good reason to come back.

    Very lively and packed for a Sunday lunch. Waited for about 10 minutes and got our table. The staff were friendly and attentive to answer our questions and to take our order. The food did take a while to arrive especially the cheese quesadillas for my kid. We ordered a steak and eggs and a barbacoa benny. The flavors were excellent and we enjoyed our dishes. There were TVs to keep the guests entertained and a bar if wanting to order any drinks. Overall, it was a good experience but will need to time it well to avoid the crowd.

    Conejos is my new favorite spot for Mexican. Lots of options to choose from- we have really enjoyed the tacos and tostadas. Love the fresh salsas they bring out with chips to start. They also serve brunch on the weekend which is amazing and so delicious. Not a traditional Tex-Mex menu but a little more upscale. The one downside is that it is very loud inside at this location but there is the option to sit outside. Conejos is doing a lot right and I look forward to going again. Pro tip: Costco has discounted gift cards for this place is you're planning on visiting.

    Actually - negative -10 I fully expected all Mexican restaurants to be full to overflowing. Sadly -I think the only way we could have gotten seated today was to arrive at 11 for lunch and eat right thru dinner. I'm so disappointed. When we arrived at 5:00pm it was full inside & out. Sadly after asking we were told 25-30". I didn't know then that that is a "standardized" answer but that became evident after standing across from the hostess stand for an hour. I do understand there is no way to tell how long diners will be-it's a guesstimate usually based on average movement + holiday traffic in the establishment. I do have an expectation based on being in my 70's and having experienced hundreds of waits. Great if your seated early-fine if ontime- acceptable at 5-10" over the estimate. Questionable knowledge of their job at 15-20" over and anything 30" & over unacceptable. I began studying the activity. In the hour I stood there I observed 2 vacant tables, and only 4 tables flipped and cleared. A total of 6 parties were seated. 1party was given a table out of turn. I guess they knew one of the 2 hostesses. My perception is that the kitchen was slow getting out the food. All the waitstaff was incredibly patient -and working their tails off. I decided to check on our seating status (we had pager #11). There were still 6 parties ahead of us. No way was I going to wait another hour or more. So disappointing. Never again.

    My hubby stopped by on a business trip and really enjoyed his meal ! Service was amazing and the restaurant was relaxing and although it is during the week and we normally stay home it was a 10/10 .. check it out ! MK

    New addition to the Lucky Rabbit string of bars. We really enjoy the OG bar in Jonestown and this could be number 2. If you ate not in the mood for TexMex their sister bar the Rabbit Hole is next door. Service at the bar was excellent and our Mex Martoonis were on par with other TexMex restaurants. My green chili enchiladas could have been more spicy but the beans and rice were excellent. There is a full bar with some interesting tequila options that I'll have to pursue on a non school night. There is a cozy patio out front for you nature lovers. Check em out!

    Super excited to see a new place to try! We stopped in and were seated right away. The decor is nice, love the mural and that Selena is on the wall! We had a bit of wait before our server came, she appeared to be taking phone orders. I'm not sure when they opened so don't know if they are in a soft opening status. We did notice the menu said "Limited Opening Menu". Chips and salsa are not brought automatically to the table as per standard in other establishments. You do have the option to order from a selection of salsa, queso and guacamole. We ordered Lonestar Green Chili Queso. It came on a flat tray with what seems like homemade chips. The queso was fantastic, we requested more chips! For dinner we ordered Chicken Fajitas and Crispy Short rib Birria tacos. Both plates were fantastic. The meat for both was flavored superb! The beans were great, the tortillas and guacamole stood out to me. For dessert we ordered the Jack Rabbit Churros. Mouth watering good...if you go you have to get these. Do yourself a favor! As we were eating dinner it got busier and a bit louder, but not terrible. We were able to hear ourselves in conversation easily. We found the tables and chairs very comfortable. The only comment I have is to be aware it's a little pricey. We want to support small business where we can, so for us it will have to be a planned visit.

    Decent Mexican food. Kinda standard. Just okay. Fajitas, Quesadillas, Enchiladas, Tacos. The shrimp enchiladas are the best IMHO but only available as a special once and a while. Full bar. Various appetizers. Only deserts are churros, taramasou and coconut pana cotta (a eggless custard). No key lime pie anymore.

    Brisket enchiladas
    Raychal W.

    We recently visited with family and overall had a good experience. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. The vibe is definitely more catered to the bar vibe than family vibe- hence the loud music. The food was pretty good for Tex-Mex, better than most around here that just drown everything in orange cheese. The brisket enchiladas were my favorite- the meat was super tender. The sauces needed a bit more flavor- they were a bit bland. The stuffed chicken was good as well- stuffed with cheese and poblano and onion. The rice was pretty good, but nothing out of this world. The salad wasn't as dense as I would have liked it to be for $16. It needed more crunch maybe some cabbage to enhance. It was very lightly dressed- I asked for more. The chicken and bacon were good- but I don't think I would order the salad again. The tacos were a bit bland, they needed a bit more seasoning to take it to the next level. I would recommend the enchiladas and stuffed chicken. I wasn't a fan of the chips- they seem store bought. We may be back again- would love to see some more variety for the future. It's a good option to have in this area if you're looking for Tex Mex.

    I can't even describe this smell. It's like something out of a seasoning salt packet, yet it tasted bland & dry. Roughly $20 after tax & tip

    How this place is in business I have no idea. To compare it to Taco Bell is a disservice to Taco Bell. The food is below basic. My guess is every single ingredient is purchased by a 3rd party. The chips taste like cheap cafeteria bagged chips. The portion size for the cost is absolutely comical. If the taste closed the gap for the size, I would understand, but everything about this place is bland. I get that Tex Mex is a lesser Mexican food, but this tastes like everything is from a can. Be wary of ordering on DoorDash because I tried twice and both times 50-% of my order came. Even when I gave it a second chance and order pick up, the order was wrong. When I called the restaurant to inquire why 50% of my order was missing I was treated rudely.

Not just another steak burrito, but one made "Baja Style", with Ranchero meat or similar. We've found something that comes close at Aparicio's. It's not your ordinary menu choices of ground beef, pork and chicken. First of all, customers waiting in line were raving to their friends on how amazing the food is. The quality, the service and the portion sizes. Taco prices are a bit higher than your average taco stand, but this is not a "hole in the wall" dive joint. The owners have made your experience here unique in the decor, yet the food served on homemade tortillas lets you know you're being blessed in the kitchen, by someone who cares. When we arrived we told them this was our first time. The host spoke to someone, and out from the kitchen comes a sample tray with five cups of food to sample. Carne Asada, chicken, pastor, chorizo and Pableno Pepper sauce. We ordered the Cali Burritto. A Carne Asada burrito with fries, pico, and other fixings. It was huge, even after cut in half. I opted for two tacos, pastor which came with a slice of grilled pineapple and Chorizo. Both served on hand made flour tortillas and they were great. We also got an order of cheese fries. A small bowl of McDonald's size fries with shredded cheese and a light cheese sauce melted on top. It was great, paired with a homemade jalapeño ranch sauce. Finished with a fresh strawberry horchata drink in a large mason jar and a mango melon drink. 6:50 each, yet well worth the cost. So if you're looking for something other than Tex-Mex fusion Mexican food, or if you're missing tasting real authentic Mexican food without having to drive to San Antonio, then drive on over to Leander. Once you pull into the lot, right of Smoky MO's just behind the jewelry shop. Enjoy! Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx.
