Recuerdos is an absolute gem. The tacos are phenomenal--packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. And it doesn't stop there: every other dish I've tried has been just as amazing, from the sides to the mains. You can really taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. What truly sets Recuerdos apart, though, is the customer service. It's genuinely unmatched--friendly, attentive, and welcoming in a way that makes you want to keep coming back. Amazing food, incredible service, and a place that truly lives up to its name. Highly recommend. read more

Recuerdos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

While in town visiting family, wanted to try another local business and on a recommendation from my sister's ordered takeout. We ordered the family enchiladas meal for pickup and I was very impressed with service received. Great customer service at the restaurant and the food was well packaged. The highlight of the experience was the meal. I was very impressed with the taste and quality of the food. Temperature was perfect and the hot sauce was very tasty. The only pitfall was the small bag of chips given but we made it work. I will definitely be back to try breakfast on my next visit home. read more

Hanging around downtown Round Rock and my nephew got hungry and wanted something more substantial than donuts. Recuerdos was in walking distance so we made our way over. For a Saturday afternoon it was pretty quiet. We were the only ones there so it was pretty silent. It seemed like they had reopened or something, seemed like most of the attention was in the back and not out front but they our server came by and dropped of some chips and salsa. I looked at the menu and it was very Texmex, so much so that I didn't feel any guilt whatsoever in ordering hard shell tacos. Since we already got the chips we decided to get their queso as well. The food basically all arrived at the same time and the queso was served in a small soup cup-TONs of their queso and since it was family, double dipping the queso into the salsa was not judged; pretty decent. My tacos were good-the lettuce, tomatoes and cheese were just kind of tossed on top and not in but I guess that's what I get for ordering hard shell tacos. I should have gone full Taco Bell and just gotten the beef, the shredded chicken was just ok. read more

My experience at Recuerdos was probably atypical. The place is full of customers and they generally seem happy. * * * I ordered the menudo off the menu. The waitress had to check in the back ... But yes, they could do menudo. The menudo tasted fine. * * * When I left, there was a definite bad taste in my mouth. Either the tripe was old and bad or something else in the soup was old and bad. My vote is the tripe. * * * I do NOT think what I had is standard for what they have at Recuerdos. I suspect when I ordered the menu - The waitress went to the kitchen. At first - it seemed they were out ... But wait ... They still had some menudo they could serve. That menudo was probably past its time. That said - the kitchen staff and the waitress were trying to be nice. * * * I kind of wish the staff had been a little less nice And a little stricter on food sanitation and pull dates. That said - I didn't die. I am still here kicking and breathing and writing this review. * * * But given all the wonderful Mexican restaurants that exist both in Round Rock and in Central Texas in general, I see no strong reason to come here a second time. read more

These were some fat breakfast tacos that were so tasty and a good price. I got one egg and potato taco and one egg and sausage taco. The salsa had a nice, mild taste, which I appreciated. Some of it was super watery though, so there was salsa water coming out of my taco, but I can look past that because the tacos were so good. They charge a 4% fee for using card, which I wish I had checked before so that I could have come prepared with cash. Thankfully, the breakfast tacos were well priced, and it was $6.65 total for two tacos with the fee. It seems like a small family-owned business, so the fee is understandable. They also have a sign about it on the door, which I was glad about. There was a weird moment when the server handed me my taco bag. I said thank you, and she gave me such a chilling look that I got scared. I'm going to hope that I totally misinterpreted that though. She was friendly initially. The food was bomb, and I didn't dine in, so I cannot comment on the full service experience. I really enjoyed the breakfast tacos here! read more

Recuerdos - Barbacoa Specialty Taco - Tex-Mex Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

After we had ordered, the people came inside and sat down at the table next to us. They were three of them, and they all received their food prior to us receiving our food even though they came in well after us and ordered well after us. For the past six years whenever I ordered the gentleman special the taco always came out Before the food. I didn't even get my taco before the table next to us was served their food. My taco came out with my enchiladas. They were through eating and left at the same time. We finally got our food. The lady never offered to bring me anything to drink. She didn't give us any silverware before or after she put the food on the table. She never came back and checked on us, but she made sure to drop off the bill. She asked us to turn off the open sign for her and was more interested in cleaning the tables than she was tending to the customers. The service is starting to slide backwards to the old Recuerdos and people are going to stop coming again. You just had an advertisement on the city of round rock website talking about a family restaurant, but there was no more than four tables to tonight and it couldn't have been worse. The ladies that normally run the kitchen, were not back there, and it really shows on how poor the performance was. read more

This is a cute hole in the wall tucked between Rocky's Piano Bar and the Longbranch Saloon in downtown Round Rock. It's an intimate dining room with a welcoming family atmosphere. Our server was very attentive, and we never ran out of chips, salsa, or water. I ordered the cheese enchilada plate with refried beans, and everything was delicious. The chile con carne sauce took me back to my childhood, but with a little extra heat. So good! I have found my new favorite local restaurant! read more

Pretty solid Tex Mex. I could drink the salsa .... And the chips were so fresh...( which they threw in as a freebie) I got an enchilada and a burrito plate. Both were pretty good. I'm looking forward to the leftovers!! It's neither the best nor worst Tex Mex I've had. I'd say it's a solid 7 out of 10... read more

I was not impressed the last few times we went. Food was ok, but would not go back. Service was good, staff was friendly and eager. The establishment itself is hole in the wall place, not terrible, but would not go back due to the lack of flavor in the food. read more

I don't know why this place was empty, the food is super tasty. It's such a cute & clean place.

We order recuerdos for breakfast on weekends from time to time, usually through doordash as we did earlier today. Overall, I love the food at recuerdos... it's great to help with hangover recovery imo. Today we had a carne guisada burrito and an enchilada plate with 1 beef and 1 cheese with rice and beans. Both plates came with chips and salsa and the burrito came with queso too. I wouldn't say I love their queso (maybe too salty) but it does the job. The salsa is pretty good though. The enchilada plate is our usual go-to and is so good. Sometimes we'll get that and a breakfast taco each. The burrito was tasty but a bit small for the price compared to the enchiladas, I probably won't get it again. read more

Service is horrible. I understand they just moved but you should be prepared. It took 40 minutes to get our food out to us Our waitress did not get my order correct. Asked for beef enchiladas and i got cheese. I have been here before when at the Main Street location and I always hyped this place up. I won't anymore. So disappointed. read more

We love to have this place in our regular rotation! Genuine people! Great food! Family atmosphere.

The WORST tacos we've had in our entire life. They don't even know how to spell Chicharrón. The tacos they served consisted of a corn tortilla, 5 spoonfuls of green salsa and a couple of pieces of chicharrón. Now, if we talk about costumer service, it gets even worse. This lady kept rushing us the whole time. She asked us what we wanted to drink after dropping the menu on the table, we asked for a minute and literally 20 seconds later she asked again. Seriously? Then, she brought the check 7 minutes after she brought the salsa soup in a tortilla. What do people like about this not really impeccable place? You are better off at Torchy's. Of course, we're never coming back. read more

First time here. Outstanding chips and salsa!! The breakfast taco was potato, egg, and bacon and it was okay. It had too much potato on it. I did not finish it because I felt like all I was eating was potatoes. However I'm not ruling this place out I will be eating there again. I do recommend this business. read more

I just moved to the area and have been struggling to find super good food. This place really impressed me. The green chicken enchiladas were so good. The chicken was good quality and proportioned well. But what really makes the enchiladas remarkable is the sauce. The chips and salsa they give you with your meal is also so good and fresh. I believe what makes the food so good here is everything being so fresh. I will be back, and next time I will bring my family. read more

Classic tiny little place, but man those cheese enchiladas!!! It's all in the chili sauce. Yum! Can't wait to try the crispy tacos next time. I liked the no frills server and the owner who was working. Diamond in the rough! read more

Went there for dinner, food and service was great! It was so good we ended up doing uber eats for breakfast the next morning!

Best enchiladas and service in round rock. Amazing hot sauce, breakfast tacos, fajitas, huevos rancheros.

Stopped by this morning 01/14/24 after church for breakfast. I've been noticing their window when I'm downtown that says they have homemade tortillas so I was excited. Hard to find them around here these days. Wife and I ordered the one bean and bacon taco, one carne guisada taco, one barbacoa taco and one potato egg and bacon. All tacos were ordered on flour tortillas except the barbacoa which we ordered on corn. We also ordered menudo with flour tortillas. As soon the tacos came out we immediately knew the tortillas were store bought. We asked the waitress if they were "homemade" as the window stated and she says "No they aren't, we need to take that down." Food was good not great and obviously the tortillas were below average at best. I would not return as there are better options for sure. I had to add salsa and salt to the menudo and the carne guisada was like warm. Right before we left a guy came in and asked if they sold their tortillas to go? They said yes he ordered a dozen of each flour and corn to go. We spoke to him briefly. He was visiting from Florida and wanted to take tortillas home to make food when he got back and to share with his family authentic from Texas. My guess is he was enticed by the sign on the window. I didn't have the heart to tell him. Take the sign down and quit lying to get people in the door. read more

Recardos in the town of roundrock is a must stop! The green chili enchiladas are amazing! Just like home cooking with plenty of flavor. Nice chips and salsa, rice, and beans. A good hearty plate. They serve Texas size breakfast tacos, sizzling fajitas, and homemade tortillas as well as cold beer. There are lots of cool little shops here, along with historic buildings and history. This little restaurant is not to be missed! Cosey little hole in the wall. Friendly service. Wait time was reasonable. Check it out! read more

Recuerdos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

We had a very mixed experience at this restaurant. I ordered a bowl of menudo which was delicious. My wife ordered a couple of migas tacos and was extremely disappointed. They were watery, flavorless and the pieces of tortilla chips in them were soggy and resembled wet cardboard. We each had a frozen margarita which was good but not exceptional. Service here was also weirdly inconsistent. One server was very friendly while the other seemed uninterested in her job. read more

Recuerdos - Breakfast Taco with 4 or More Ingredients - Tex-Mex Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

The first few times we went here it was great we couldn't get enough. We brought my brother in law here from out of town and his wife. Very disappointing. Everything looked and tasted like it was watered down. The waitress had no idea what was going on. They were vacuuming almost an hour before closing. A man walked in 40 minutes before 830 and they turned him away while taking our order. The waitress said we close at 8 to the man and it was only 745 and refused to take him... SUPER AWKWARD! all in all highly disappointing! read more

Our kitchen is being remodeled and so we're having to eat out often. I remember seeing this place and eating here once before so we decided to come in for dinner tonight. It was one of the best choices we made in a long time! The food and the service was outstanding and the pricing is wonderful. Strongly recommend this place for good homemade Mexican food! read more

I loved the food! A little pricey but overall good. We tried the Carne Guisada and it was delicious. We wholl try the Enchiladas next time.

So glad I beat the rush last week for Cinco de Mayo and got my dishes for lunch. I had been seeing posts online for how good this place was and I'm so glad I ventured out to try it. Can't say enough about the salsa. Good heat and it has good chunk-osity. The queso compuesto had the right viscosity to stick to the chips. The SO loved the chicken enchilada plate. Mine was the Gentleman's Special. Loved the "gravy" which coated the enchiladas. That's the best treat to scoop up with chips when you want to clean the plate. And no better way than to celebrate than with a icy margarita. I'm trying to support locals during this time as much as I can, so I'll definitely be back the next time I hunger for Mexican food. read more

Ambiance: cozy very limited tables Service: Two waitresses that come across as cold not happy to be there to attend to your table with an attitude. Twice I have been there and same waitresses that approach the table with a cold unfriendly attitude. Both times I visited had to ask for water, utensils, napkins. Food: flavorless, salsa weak; the flour tortillas are not home made- something you get at Sam's Club in a pack. So false advertisement on home made flour tortillas. H‑E‑B's flour tortillas are more homemade than what they serve you. Credit Card Fee: if you pay with a credit card, they will charge you a credit card fee, this tells you everything you need to know about this restaurant. read more

Definitely five stars for this place. Why? The ambiance, service and food! I say ambiance since it's a cozy restaurant in downtown Round Rock. There were family pictures posted on the wall inside. This makes sense since the restaurant's name is memories in Spanish. I felt like I was at my relative's house and not at a restaurant. Service was great! They checked in on us and gave us updates on our dishes. Food was delicious. It definitely has an unique flavor and tastes so good. I was wanting to order a taco, but since I saw that the enchiladas were popular there I ordered the beef enchiladas. It comes with chili and onions on top and they were so good. My plate was empty when they came to get mine. Parking wasn't bad for it being in downtown Round Rock near Longbranch Saloon on a weekday for lunch. Be sure to bring cash for a discount What are you waiting for? Try this spot! read more

Its hard to believe that its been 3 years since our last visit....way to long obviously...but its like time stood still while we were gone.

Wife with her beef enchiladas, double rice and me with my Gentleman's Special featuring Chicken Enchiladas and a crunchy Taco. The sauces are great...plates are literally bubbling hot.

Omg. First order from them and it's really authentic tasting. My ex is Mexican and took me to the best holes in the wall where we used to live, this brings me back home. I may cry Notes: Chicharon Plate: Nicely spicy salsa on it and extra in a cup, chubby delicious and tender chicharrones. Chicken enchiladas plate... traditionally prepared enchiladas. Great taste, could be more generous with the chicken but they were fine. --------------- I also ordered chicken burritos more recently, Packaged neatly in a cardboard box with a good sized bag of excellent lightly salted corn chips, a small container of delicious seemingly house made red salsa. The burrito was nicely smothered in cheese and green tomatillo salsa, everything but the tender chicken breast meat was very lightly salted, which I appreciate since I'm trying to control my sodium intake . Excellent burrito! These were all delivered (doordash) Their great food makes me sad that I'll be moving away soon! read more
