Cute, spotless, amazing service (Juan and Samuel) and food. Tender steak Tacos, excellent charro beans, tasty queso, very fresh salsa, and churros with filling to die for. Will return and highly recommend.
Wonderful experience at Mandito’s after a long day of shopping. Food and margaritas are great, and our server Summer Rose was absolutely amazing!
Always great. Our go to place in Roundtop for Mexican food.
Great place! Though they serve hundreds, maybe even thousands, daily during Antiques Week they still manage to get their customers seated, fed and keep them happy with their delicious food and excellent customer service. I love their chips, salsa and their queso is so good! The refried beans are very obvously cooked in bacon grease... yum! Rice is delicious, tacos al carbon, burritos, margaritas... all scrumptious! Worth the wait every time.
The food is always delicious! They just added a street corn dish to their menu and it is phenomenal! Been trying Mexican Street all over the western United States for the last couple of months and this is far and above the very best I have ever had! Not sure what the secret ingredient is but the crumbled Takis on top sure make this dish pop! Very friendly management and staff. Little out inside when they get very busy but that is to be expected
Went in with low expectations and was blown away. Thick crispy chips and delicious salsa and queso. Wife said here strawberry margarita was probably one of the best she's ever had. (She ended up drinking 2 which is rare) I got beef enchiladas and they were delicious. Wife said her chicken soft tacos were amazing. Only thing that lacked flavor was the rice. Pricing was high but for a touristy town that's expected but worth the price.
This place didn't disappoint!! They fill up quickly for lunch during the Round Top Antique Festival, but that's to be expected. Food was great!
Round Rock TX has an impressive number of eateries which belies its small town status. And judging from the weekend crowds it draws patrons from throughout central Texas. Mandito’s popularity was evident as we drove in from La Grange TX; the porch setting was inviting so we joined others in dining al fresco. Warmly greeted, promptly seated and the service was excellent as was the meal. This is not what I consider traditional Tex Mex, but still very tasty. Our server offered to take payment for the meal check; however I noted the QR code and scanned with my iPhone. Quick and easy with Apple Pay providing an email copy of the check/payment. First time experience with this technology! Added to the overall satisfaction rating for Mandito’s.
