Las Alitas Sports & Wings - Roma

The Tex-Mex Sports Bar That Masters Wings

Las Alitas Sports & Wings in Roma, Texas at 1863 US-83 embodies that classic American sports bar where wings are the star and screens broadcast all the big games. With 10+ TVs covering every wall, the place creates that energetic atmosphere characteristic of sports bars where each major game becomes a community event. The name "Las Alitas" (little wings in Spanish) reveals the Tex-Mex influence in this Texas border region near Mexico, and indeed the menu shows this American-Mexican fusion in flavors.

The Wings That Justify the Drive

The Mango Habanero Wings are their signature sauce that perfectly balances sweet-spicy. When they arrive steaming, the smell mixes the fruity sweetness of mango with the heat of habanero. The jumbo wings are truly massive—crispy outside (well fried), juicy inside (tender chicken). The mango habanero sauce coats generously, creating that addictive taste where the mango sweetness appears first then the habanero heat builds gradually. It was really well balanced—spicy enough for heat lovers but not overwhelming. The Loaded Fries show this American "loaded" approach. Crispy fries smothered in melted cheese, crispy bacon, sliced jalapeños for that spicy kick, all drizzled with house sauce (probably a ranch or chipotle sauce). It was decadent, generous, perfect for sharing while watching a game. The Parmesan Garlic Wings offer a less spicy alternative with that buttery garlicky flavor. The garlic butter coats the wings, the freshly grated parmesan adds that umami saltiness. For those who don't like heat, it's the perfect option.
