I called in my order of 3 breakfast tacos. I was hung up on, on my 1st attempt. My 2nd attempt was a success. I arrived to pick up my order 9 minutes after placing the call. There were 2 ladies in the kitchen, yet my order had not been started yet. Thankfully, they got it dont quickly. The country a la Mexicana tacos were delicious! They were out of red sauce but had green. I was a little disappointed there. But those flour tortillas are what made everything better. They were simply amazing!!

Fresh coffee and the potato egg and cheese wrapped up in a warm fresh fluffy tortilla from Rocky’s made my morning significantly better. I was greeted by a sweet server who served me my delicious meal and made sure I was well taken care of. Overall, great experience and even better food! Thank you!

We've been to Rockys many times. I really don't think i've ever walked out disappointed. The food is pretty good and i've had everything on the menu, well almost everything. One of my favorites is the menudo. It always taste fresh. I wish they would put more harmony. (Pozole) in it. The barbacoa always tastes fresh. The tripa taco are made to order. You can have them soft semi crispy, or super crispy. Iv had the Rockys plate, and it was big. They serve it to you on 2 plates. The Chalupa, the puffy taco and salad on one plate and the enchiladas, beans and rice on another. Oh before i forget tortillas are fresh. The flour and the corn are made in health. They are actually made when you order them. The corn tortillas are so good. They're not thin like your store bot.Tortillas these are a little thicker. They pair very well with the menudo. If I was to complain, the only thing would be that they nick you and die meal for all the little things like onion, Cilantro, extra limes. I don't mind paying it, but it should come with your menudo. But other than that, everything else is great. It's a great place to go after you leave a bar or a club. They are open 24 hours 7 days a week. On the weekends be prepared to wait. Especially if you go around 2am and 3am. If you do find yourself that you have to wait, just wait it's worth it.
