Morelia Mexican Grill: Not Your Typical Tex-Mex Cuisine

September 10, 2013 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 transform the walls making the bar look like Mayan carved stone. Bar beverages are more than just margaritas and include traditional drinks like a Charro Negro, a refreshing combination of Tequila and Coke.

Tasty Chicken and More at Pluckers Wing Bar

July 23, 2013 by

Want to watch the game? Head to Pluckers Wing Bar in Round Rock, just a few minutes from The Marquis at Canyon Ridge. This place loves to use their fryers! Pluckers has 19 zesty sauces to coat their crispy and juicy wings, like the Hallelujah, sweet sauce with a kick, and Spicy Mandarin, for a flavorful twist. If you want to challenge your taste buds, try Fire In The Hole, their hottest sauce.  Those that manage to put away 25 wings will appear on their “wall of flame.” (If you do, make sure to cool off with some sweet tea.) Other fried favorites are the pickles, fried mac and cheese, and thick-cut homemade potato chips with warm blue cheese dressing. Burgers and sandwiches round out their menu, along with several sides including twice baked potato casserole, waffle fries, and mac and cheese — which many people swear is the best they’ve had. So what are you waiting for?
