My wife discovered an authentic Mexican Food restaurant in the city of Leander. She has been on a…read moresearch for the best "Carne Asada burrito" she can find. 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.

The packaging/bowl was all bent and impossible to eat from so I had to put it in another bowl. The chicken fajita tacos was pathetic and paper thin wrapped. Basically two tacos is one regular taco. The tripa taco my husband gets in every order we order from there and he took one bit and could not finish it, he said it was not fully cooked and we asked for extra crispy and almost burnt and we got the opposite.

The taste of meat and cheese is very addictive to me and I love mexican food. Most recently I added onions and peppers to the birria tacos just to try it out. And it was okay. It gave it a crunch and vegetable which was good but took away from some of the flavor. I also got a quesadilla and got birria as the meat. BINGO! That's my new go-to here. I generally prefer a flour tortilla, so that with all the cheese and birria packed together was very delicious. The quesadilla alone was pretty filling and simple. Love this spot for birria!

It was warm inside, and luckily, someone finally came out from the back and turned down the A/C. The service was adequate, and our food was tasty. I liked that the hot sauce wasn't too hot; it's smooth and pourable as opposed to chunky. Portions were nice; I took half of mine home. Soft drinks are in a can. I'm deducting two stars because while we were there, a couple came in with their dog and proceeded to order and eat, feeding the dog off of the plate as it sat in the woman's lap. If this was on an outside patio, I wouldn't have given it a second glance, other than to think that the dog was cute. But I'm sorry, gross. And none of the staff addressed it, which makes me wonder about their cleanliness standards...

I had stretchy pants. Here's the thing: it's just not my type. It markets itself as upscale Tex-Mex, but the energy lands somewhere between diner bar and "your friend's uncle's patio party." Speaking of patio -- it's a popular smoking destination, and that smoky perfume tends to drift inside and join you for dinner. Nothing says "refined queso experience" like a subtle hint of Marlboro. Now, the service? Truly excellent. Our server was attentive, warm, and on top of everything. Five-star human. And the happy hour prices? Genuinely fantastic. Dangerous, even. If we're rating value and kindness, they win. But the food... oh, the food. It's not bad. It's just... emotionally neutral. I like my Tex-Mex either fresh and bright or deeply authentic -- something that makes me pause mid-bite and whisper, "yes." This felt more like food that clocked in, did its shift, and clocked out. Competent. Polite. Unmemorable. And that's kind of the whole vibe. The restaurant feels like it's still deciding who it wants to be when it grows up. Upscale? Casual bar? Neighborhood hangout? It's in its finding-itself era. We've all been there. I really do want to like it. I may even keep trying because I believe in second chances and queso redemption arcs. But for now, it's a 3/5. Great service. Great prices. A little smoky. A little unsure. Like a charming guy with potential who just hasn't figured himself out yet.
