I tried this place for the first time last night, a lot of places were closed so this place was one of the few open. I've driven past this place many times but never thought to give it a try. I ordered the taco plate which comes with 3 tacos, rice, and beans. Price was average of other Mexican joints. Cashier was friendly & nice. We dined in, they have booths and tables. The booths are a little tight for 4 people but we made it work. The murals on the walls and booth were cool. They also had a condiment station where I could put my own amount of cilantro and onions on my tacos as well as get my hot sauces. The taco plate itself was good. Came with lots of meat, I got carne asada. The rice and beans were good. I have no complaints but also no raves. Food was good, no more, no less. I did love that they have jalapeño sauce!! I don't see that at many Mexican joints. Sorry for no pics! The camera did in fact not eat first since I was so hungry lol!
First time here, and if you know about Rockwood on a Sunday afternoon, every Mexican food place is extremely busy. For my first trip I wanted to try the basics, I got an asada burrito and two pastor tacos. Oh boy was I happy. I have never received tacos with huge juicy chunks of delicious pork, they were really stuffed full and topped with lots of onions and cilantro. The asada burrito was full of steak and all the usual great stuff. The green and red sauce is really good and both were flavorful and spicy!! I will definitely b be back to try more of their delicious food
Food is authentic and service is great! The salsas are awesome. I had them cater food for my wife's birthday and they did a great job!
