Love, love, love La Roca!! My favorite is the pork marinated tacos. I get it every time and it never fails to be amazing. Their lunch menu is perfect, and their Take-Out game is on point. Take-Out orders even come with chips and salsa, which is awesome! If you're looking for good Mexican food, look no further 🤩 …

The worst salsa I have ever had in my life. The red salsa tastes like burned meat. No tomatoes or onions. The green salsa was too hot to eat. More

Traditional Mexican eatery. They have great fajitas, They have pop in glass bottles too made with cane sugar. The rest of the food is super good. The place is always bust, packed.
