Q’Bola Cuban Restaurant & Bar held a soft opening in Round Rock in late September.

On the menu

The restaurant serves authentic Cuban cuisine.

For starters, customers will find fried green plantains topped with pico de gallo, ham-filled croquettes that are breaded and fried with mayo and shives, beef tartare and more. Under the main courses, the restaurant serves filet mignon, roast pork marinated in citrus garlic mojo, traditional tamales, Cuban sandwiches and a variety of other dishes.

Creamy rice pudding, sponge cake and caramel custard “made the Cuban way” are among the various dessert options.


The new eatery has both bar and table seating, and plans to have live music in the evenings. Q’Bola moved into the space previously occupied by Pacific Star Restaurant & Oyster Bar, which closed in May.
