Nearly 4 months after closing the food truck in Wimberley Square, Neon Armadillo’s team opened its permanent spot at The Junction in Wimberley.

The gist

The restaurant offers 30,000 square feet of Tex-Mex-barbecue fusion served family style, along with a full bar, outdoor seating and games and spots for live entertainment.

On the menu

Officials said Chef Adam Puskorius sources ingredients from local ranchers and farmers committed to pasture-raised and organic practices. Neon Armadillo is also the first restaurant in the nation to partner with Austin-based Force of Nature Meats to offer regenerative grass-fed meat, according to the release.


The menu offers other options, including grass-fed lamb carnitas and beef burgers, al pastor-style pulled pork, and more.

Notable quote

“Neon Armadillo was built with the community at its heart,” Molly Bowen, co-founder and designer of Neon Armadillo, said in the release. “We wanted to create a place where locals and visitors alike can slow down, connect and make memories—whether it’s a casual dinner with family, live music under the stars, or a refreshing drink shared with friends.”
