Why We Are The Destination for Carne Gratinada in Round Rock

Gratinada means topped and melted with cheese — and Carne Gratinada takes that concept seriously. Tender grilled beef is covered with a generous layer of melted cheese that gets bubbly and golden, adding richness to every bite of savory, charred meat. It's the kind of dish that satisfies on a primal level: great beef plus melted cheese equals something you'll order again. Served sizzling with rice and beans on the side. If you love cheese on everything and you love a great grilled beef plate, Carne Gratinada at Rio Grande is exactly what you've been looking for in Round Rock.

For years, Rio Grande has been a staple of the community, known for bringing people together over steaming plates and cold drinks. Our commitment to quality means every tortilla is made fresh, and every margarita is mixed with care.
