About Sate Texas

Sate Texas is an Indonesian barbecue restaurant at 150 Sundance Parkway, Suite 400, in Round Rock, a northern suburb of Austin, Texas. The restaurant grew out of home cooking rather than a conventional restaurant career: owner Tina Villarreal began preparing Indonesian dishes for small gatherings and community events among Austin's Indonesian community, and the response eventually led to preorders and then public sales.

In 2019 Tina and her husband Eugene debuted the concept at the Asian Night Market on Congress Avenue in Austin, selling out both nights of the event. After the pandemic paused festival and market events, the couple launched a food truck in South Austin in 2021, continuing to build a following for their satay and grilled meats. Securing a permanent restaurant space took close to two years, a search the owners have attributed to limited available space and the cost of building out a kitchen. Sate Texas eventually opened in a former Wingstop location in Round Rock on November 2, 2024, with Eugene and Tina handling much of the renovation and cleanup themselves, and the restaurant has since marked one year at the brick and mortar address.

The menu centers on Indonesian style satay, grilled skewers served with peanut sauce, alongside rice-based dishes and other grilled meats, with chili and spice served on the side so diners can adjust heat to their own taste. Food is cooked to order and can take ten to fifteen minutes to prepare. The owners have described plans to expand the menu with Texas barbecue influenced additions such as stuffed jalapenos and grilled corn, along with a more developed lunch service. The restaurant runs with a small team of two full-time employees and has built a base of repeat customers, including some who travel from elsewhere in Central Texas for the food, while keeping menu prices steady despite rising costs for food and operations.
