Our server couldn't have been more friendly and outgoing. She was swamped (it was prom night with lots of formally clad students dining in) but never broke a sweat, never made us feel rushed or unattended and had a big smile from ear to ear throughout. I can't remember her name but I believe she is one of the owners daughters - and she's a real asset to the restaurant. My husband had a combination platter with all the favorites - enchiladas, taco, and a tamale, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I opted for something that was a little less---well, you know----but when in Rome---don't eat the spinach and mushrooms----get the tacos, savor the enchiladas. They know what they're doing and next visit I will lean into their expertise, enhanced by another Mexican martini. Buen provecho!

Rice was a little overcooked, but the flavor was really good. Beans were also good! This is the first restaurant where beans don't taste like canned beans. My husband got the green chilaquiles with over medium eggs, which were also really good! We got a quesadilla de flor de calabaza.. and I think this was my favorite thing! It was amazing and the tortilla was truly homemade! Coffee was exceptional, it had a cinnamon taste which made it taste like café de olla. I do wish they had chips and salsa, but I'm not sure if they offer it later, since we went before 11 am. Ambiance is nice & peaceful. Service was great! The server was really nice! I would definitely come again!

My family of 4 tries Luna's for the first time on a Taco Tuesday. We had 4 different items with…read morevarying results. We did all have birria because it's a family favorite. Sadly, it was dry and lacking flavor in 3 of the 4. The birria ramen was good and season well though. Here at this location they offer Coke related fountain drinks and bottled sodas. The exterior of the restraint is nice and had a lot of plants outside. You can sit in or outside the service was quick and courteous. The parking lot is small for the amount of shops in the center but we did t have trouble during the week. At this time I can't personally recommend the birria but it may be worth your visit to try their taco menu.

The nachos were a let down. Portion was small and we were hoping for melted shredded cheese. It was also missing pico. They charged us $4 for a side of pico. Honestly the charge for every small thing and I get that, that's the business side of things but it does feel very nickel and diming you. My husband had the crispy taco plate and he said the meat was too salty. There were 4 of us, got 4 entrees, 1 topo chico, 3 tap waters, a side of pico and after tip we paid $70. Looking back it feels a little pricy.

We have been craving great Mexican food since moving to Texas and (don't hate me!) have been…read moredisappointed. Stumbled on this place while headed to Hoody's and it was packed so we popped in. Seat yourself - nothing fancy. The vibe here is local Mexican restaurant. The server was nice but became more engaged when I spoke Spanish to her. She greeted us with chips and two warm bowls of charro beans, which were absolutely delicious. My husband had a Cuban-style torta which was huge and he inhaled. It's not a Cubano - it's a traditional torta with ham and cheese added. He had fajita steak in his and said it was phenomenal. Honestly we could have split this and both been full. I have the taquitos plate. I went with chicken breast and al pastor (2 of each). Came with optional cilantro and onions (don't skip) and grilled onions/pepper plus a side. I couldn't finish it. The chicken was soooo good - very flavorful and not dry, some of the best chicken breast I've had in a while. The Al pastor was good too, but the chicken was exceptional, which I never thought I'd prefer! Under $30 with drinks and tip, this was very very good. The chicken soup others were enjoying also looked stellar - nobody was looking up from their bowl. Great little find. Will definitely be back!

I came back and waited about a minutes before I was acknowledged, I was sat and the waitress was attentive. I wanted to try the arepita appetizer which is normally served with shredded beef/pork or chicken on the side- to get a side of plantains instead of meat, it was going to add 3$ to the 14$ appetizer so I just opted to omit the meat all together and still had to pay the $14 ...which I don't feel is appropriate- people always wanna add money to sub a veggie for meat but never reduce the price when just removing the meat all together. Anyways, Ordered my food which was out promptly, the veggie bowl was delicious as always and the arepita appetizer (no meat) was good- reminded me of a fried potatoe cake, I used the arepitas as a vessel for my veggie bowl ! I brought the remainder of my bowl home where I bit into something very hard , once pulling it out of my mouth I discovered some beef snuck it's way into my dish- disappointing forsure but it is the first time out of about 10 times this has happened here. Prices have gone up over the last few years my veggie bowl was 18$.

A friend of mine invited me to hear some Latin music at Sociedad in Round Rock, TX. She was…read moremeeting several of her friends at the restaurant. The venue is a cocina (Mexican kitchen) and tequila bar. Solciedad is the reimagined version of the longtime Alcove Cantina, which reopened in April 2026 with a refreshed interior, revamped menu, and an expanded tequila and mezcal selection while keeping its role as a local nightlife venue. Sociedad is divided into three main areas...front, back and side all with different purposes. The front area looks primarily like a bar with side seating. You likely are in this section for a Tequila tasting or drink with conversation. The back room was more like a concert-like area with an open ceiling. You literally could see the stars from this section of the restaurant. I listened to some rhythm and blues and find the band to be smooth and sexy. However, my friends were in the last section, where a DJ was spinning Latin tunes. While it was fun to see my friends, it was totally slow boogie. The songs lasted too long, and we only heard a few songs that were familiar. I ordered a frozen Margarita, but they were out of Margarita. I have never been to a Mexican food restaurant that did not serve Margaritas. So, I then ordered some guacamole and chips, which I shared with my friends. After one set of music, we decided to leave the restaurant. Service was pretty good at the restaurant. Although our server was acting as server and bartender simultaneously. Also, there was no cover charge for Sociedad.

I only take one star off because the cashier didn't give me the furiosa, she gave me el differente which is still good but the furiosa is my favorite and the tables were not cleaned or wiped off, but I get it they were extremely busy for lunch. This is an Austin staple that I think anyone needs to try and all ther location are very consistent!

So got a steak taco, barbacoa taco and a chicken quesadilla. The staff was extremely nice. I explained I couldn't have any cross contamination with pork she made sure the kitchen knew, which was greatly appreciated. So the barbacoa was ok, steak was very good and the chicken in the quesadilla was probably my least favorite only because I'm not sure if it's meant to be grilled, fried or simmered. But the chicken seemed like it was boiled then put in the quesadilla and fried on the flat top which would have been fine but the chicken seemed quite dry. Maybe I came in at a bad time not sure because when I had it at the truck I was dreaming about it for weeks so maybe it was just not my day but over all it wasn't bad and the 3 star is more because my expectations were set based on the other location. I am definitely going to be back to chase that first time flavor again but this time it just missed the mark unfortunately.
