Morelia Mexican Grill: Not Your Typical Tex-Mex Cuisine

September 25, 2014 by

Morelia Mexican Grill in Round Rock is not your typical Tex-Mex food. The family hails from Morelia, Mexico and the menu offers traditional and authentic food. Of course you can find your favorite Mexican items like Burritos and Tacos, but what makes Morelia stand out is a varied menu with more options than is typical of Mexican food.

In addition to standard beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas, the grill offers combos that feature quail and ribs. If you like enchiladas, they have 10 to choose from, including crawfish enchiladas with a cajun cream sauce. In fact, their special sauces are found throughout the menu and range from ranchero to mole and spicy cream. The atmosphere is casual and murals decorate the walls. Bar beverages are more than just margaritas and include traditional drinks.

Go for the Spicy Oyster Gumbo at Louisiana Longhorn Cafe

March 6, 2014 by

Louisiana Longhorn Cafe happily offers Round Rock residents a place to enjoy authentic Creole cooking in a friendly, relaxed environment. The walls of this restaurant are decked with Cajun themed decorations, including a longhorn sporting Mardi Gras beads. 

Most dishes are based off family recipes and have a heavy emphasis on crawfish, shrimp, fish, a generous amount of spices, and plenty of creamy sauces. Try the fettuccini alfredo with crawfish, the crab cake stuffed flounder filet, or the spicy oyster gumbo. If you're craving etouffee or a po'boy, Louisiana Longhorn Cafe has those, too.

Sip Bottomless Coffee, Fill Up on Pancakes at Cafe Java

December 31, 2013 by

If you feel like venturing out of the house for some breakfast, consider stopping by Round Rock's own Cafe Java. This cozy neighborhood cafe serves up some mean pancakes and coffee is always fresh, hot, and bottomless. The breakfast platters come with two eggs, crispy hash browns, toast, and your choice of meat: steak, ham, sausage, or corn beef hash.

Although only open for breakfast and brunch on the weekends, during the week Cafe Java stays open until 9 p.m. and is a great place to score a juicy burger or plate of fully loaded beef nachos. Regulars say the hearty homemade soups are some of the best they can find. 

The staff is friendly and quick, but Cafe Java fills up quick during the weekend, so keep that in mind if you stop by for an impromptu breakfast with friends or family.
