Quiet and hard to find but well worth a visit. We stopped in to try the tacos and were not disappointed. The tortillas are made fresh and are the perfect size, thickness, and density. Able to fold without breaking but also has a nice crunch on the outside while being soft inside.
The meat was well seasoned and cooked. I tried the chorizo, carne asada, pastor tacos. Each was cooked well and, much like the tortillas, were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They had a nice sear on the outside while maintaining their juiciness and flavor inside.
We also ordered a carne asada torta and a couple pupusas. Each were well above average in their own right. I only mention them in passing due to how good the tacos were.
This is a no frills taqueria. There is another taqueria in town that has more variety of options and gimmicky combinations. La Roca far exceeds that one in terms of quality. The only complaint I have is that this restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol at all. Still, the food was good enough to garner a perfect rating.
I ordered the torta de carne asada and it was great! The jalapeño pupusa is very interesting and the staff is friendly. I feel like the location affects the ability to get a full house, we only knew about it becuase we're near by. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me is because they do not sell alcohol.
Great Pupusa
