Roc-N-Ritas, the Hill Country drive-thru margarita chain that built a loyal following on frozen cocktails to go, has shut down all five of its San Antonio-area locations. The company announced the permanent closures on social media, stating that the shutdown took effect Feb. 13, 2026. With that single move, several well-known walk-up and drive-thru margarita spots across San Antonio, Boerne and New Braunfels have gone silent.
Where They Were
According to Community Impact, the closures hit locations in Boerne, New Braunfels and San Antonio, including 112 E. San Antonio Ave. in Boerne; 2864 Thousand Oaks Drive, Ste. 101 in San Antonio; 5726 Babcock Road in San Antonio; and the original spot at 211 S. Elliot Knox Blvd. in New Braunfels. The outlet reports that the chain posted a Feb. 13 social media announcement confirming all five local stores are now closed. The message thanked customers for their support over the years but did not offer any explanation for the sudden shutdown.
From Drive-Thru To A Small Chain
The business began as a single New Braunfels drive-thru in 2020 and later expanded into the San Antonio market, per earlier reporting by MySA. Roc-N-Ritas built its brand around quick walk-up and drive-thru service for frozen margaritas and other to-go cocktails. The company's website previously highlighted specialty drinks like the Blue Lagoon and the Pink Lady and promoted both drive-thru and walk-up pickup for customers; archived menus and hours are available via the Roc-N-Ritas website.
Company Message And Confirmation
“After 6 incredible years serving the Hill Country, we have made the very difficult decision to close all 5 Roc-N-Ritas locations,” the chain wrote in its social media announcement, according to Community Impact. The short note focused on gratitude for patrons and offered no reason for the closures, nor any details on what comes next for employees or the shuttered storefronts.
What Neighbors Are Seeing
Some online business listings are already catching up to the news on the ground. For instance, MapQuest now labels the Thousand Oaks Drive site as “Closed,” offering a secondary confirmation beyond the company’s own social post, per MapQuest. So far, there is no public information about whether the vacant spaces will be quickly re-leased or if new operators are lined up to move in.
What’s Next
The brand's main site, the Roc-N-Ritas website, previously listed menus and local hours but did not provide additional explanation for the closures at the time of reporting. For now, fans of the frozen margarita chain are left with more questions than answers. We will be watching for any updates from the company, as well as local business filings and landlord notices, to shed light on what the shutdown ultimately means for employees, vendors and neighboring businesses.
