Why We Are The Destination for El Vaquero in Round Rock

El Vaquero means "the cowboy" — and this combo plate comes with the kind of bold, hearty energy that name implies. A selection of Rio Grande's best Tex-Mex items loaded onto one plate, served with Mexican rice and your choice of refried, charro, or black beans. It's a plate built for the person who doesn't mess around when it comes to their Tex-Mex. Filling, flavorful, and unapologetically generous — El Vaquero is the combo plate you order when you want to eat like a cowboy 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.
