Royers Round Top Café
The legendary café on the square — famous pies, grilled quail, and a line that's worth it. A Round Top rite of passage.
Mandito's Tex-Mex
Margaritas, enchiladas, and a lively patio.
10 min from the ranchRound Top, TX
Sometimes a trip just calls for chips, queso, and a cold margarita. Mandito's brings festive, unfussy Tex-Mex to the Round Top area — a lively patio, generous plates, and the kind of easygoing energy that's perfect with a group after a long day.
It's a crowd-pleaser and a welcome change of pace from café and steakhouse fare.
