Stopped in here for some nacho and was not disappointed. Really good food for like a mound of nachos :) I also had the steak tacos which were also yummy and was very happy they didn't have a bunch of gristle which feel can happen in the hole in the wall type places. Plan to come back here and get the family meal. Really good prices for some good food. Check it out read more

Fireside Chicken and Tacos - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

First time coming here and asked the staff what I should try. The guy working was great and gave me a lot of options and told me what he hears. I ultimately chose the three taco combo and a slide of slaw and queso. I chose #12 steak classic, #13 chicken al pastor and #14 chicken pibil. I chose them since they are the three most popular. They were all great, the only thing I didn't like was the pineapple wasn't as sweet as I'd like it but they can't control that. When I'm back in town I'll definitely come back read more

Fireside Chicken and Tacos - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Overall impression: solid rotisserie chicken! Generous portions for the price. Service was friendly! Fireside Chicken and Tacos has a cute 50s diner feel with a Mexican/rotisserie chicken shop twist. This is a counter order establishment: order at the counter and your food will be brought out to you. Please clean up after yourselves! There are stations to return the baskets and throw out your trash. The rotisserie chicken was juicy, and very well seasoned! The meat fell off the bones kind of tender! The mashed potatoes were good, but wish I had a bit of gravy to go with it! read more

Fireside Chicken and Tacos -- or as I now call it, "the reason I'm breaking up with my meal prep service." So I wandered back in like a moth to a flame (or a Texan to anything with melted cheese), and this time I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and the Leo Special -- because clearly one dish isn't enough when your stomach has ambition. LOL -- just kidding, there were two of us. I'm not that ambitious. (Okay maybe a little.) Let's talk enchiladas: tender chicken, wrapped tight like it was holding onto my last shred of willpower, drowning gloriously in spicy green salsa. Topped with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, queso fresco, and avocado like it was trying to win a beauty pageant and a food fight at the same time. The rice and beans? Absolute backup dancers -- but the kind that could headline their own tour. Now the Leo Special -- this plate showed up sizzling like it was trying to start a relationship. Chicken, onions, bell peppers, and melted cheese in a glorious mess that said, "Diet starts tomorrow." Served up with rice, guac, sour cream, pico de gallo, and warm corn tortillas like a flavor entourage. I would swipe right on this plate every time. Oh -- and this was a Grubhub delivery, because I still don't know where 2332 Greencrest Blvd is, and I've lived in Rockwall for 20 years. It might be real, it might be a portal to flavor heaven. All I know is, the food showed up hot, and my taste buds are writing thank-you notes. Let's be honest, for the price? It's almost criminal. Like "do I owe you more money?" level good. Rockwall, you sneaky little food wizard -- you've outdone yourself. Again. read more

My cousin and are are both on the carnivore diet so we are always looking for a place to get plenty of protein without paying an arm and a leg for a full meal that we won't be eating. We both got a half of a chicken which was plenty, I couldn't eat it all and took some home. You order at the counter and they bring your meal to the table. I sort of expected paper plates and plastic silverware but was surprised they served on real plates with regular silverware. The waitress brought two containers of hot sauce one green and the other red along with a basket of chips. I had two, and my cousin had one but we used the hot sauce liberally on our chicken. It was a real challenge to have those chips in front of us for the whole meal and a real temptation, but we have had such good healthy results on this diet that we were strong and resisted. It is a nice comfortable place, staff was kind and helpful. It wasn't terribly busy and my cousin and I only see each other every three months so we tend to stay long and visit, which was no problem with the staff. We try to be sensitive to how busy a place is and not take up needed table space if they are busy. We enjoyed this place and will return. read more

Service was good, food was okay, no ambiance to speak of. Typical lunch restaurant in a strip center. Limited menu options

Portions are good, the whole chicken didn't have much flavor unfortunately. The beans weren't flavorful either.

Absolutely delicious and fresh food! My favorite local food. I order from here at least once a month. Everything is delicious but we tend to stick to the same menu items. My husband thoroughly enjoys the steak subs. The steak is lean and very tasty. I love the Freddy's nachos and it's so much that I usually eat it for 2 meals. My daughter is simple and enjoys the children's chicken fingers. Quessabria is also delicious! You cant make a wrong choice on this menu, it's all delicious! Very Blessed to be so close to this establishment. read more

I love this place! Excellent food every time I come. I eat here personally, meet other local small business owners to network and often provide meals for first responders using their catering service. I also host a monthly networking group with 40+ participants using their catering menu-I've never had to wait for the large order to be prepared and have always received everything correctly! My friends and local business acquaintances are always pleased with our food. Highly recommend!! read more

I know they're known for the tacos but this place has THE best chicken wings in Rockwall! Always great service and consistently good food!

When we first walked in I'll be honest I was underwhelmed. I wasn't fond of the counter setup and the outdated feel but from ordering until leaving those were the furtherst things from my mind. The staff were so kind and warm. The food was absolutely delicious!! 12/10 would recommend! read more

We were in town for a dance competition and wanted to try someplace different out. This place was next to our hotel so we gave it a shot. The place is in a shopping center next to Walmart. It's a bit on the unkempt side inside. Tables needed wiping down and the service was mediocre. No one was rude at all, they were just ambivalent. We went on a Saturday night around 7 and it was empty. Food was exceptionally fast and hot. The beans were absolutely to die for!! Chips and salsa provided immediately and the salsa was amazing! Most everyone coming back doing were getting to-go orders which could account for the empty tables inside. Overall, would go again if we are ever back in town. read more

This place is so delicious! I had the half chicken plate with corn and potato wedges. My husband had a burrito bowl and we also shared a Quesabirria Taco. The chicken was the star of the show. It was flavorful, juicy and overall best rotisserie chicken I've had. Even better than Costco chicken!! I can't even tell you how good the salsa and queso is. I dipped my potato wedges in the queso and chicken in the salsa. Amazing!!! read more

Great 1st impression. We came here for lunch before attending a nearby event. Smart for us to depend on Yelp reviews to help us make a choice. Tacos are the featured items but they have other servings. Prompt service and hot food. Warning: don't put the green sauce on your food unless you want the really really hot stuff. read more

We love this place! We eat about once a week for lunch. The staff is awesome and food is really good. Food is affordable. Definitely try it!

Get the Birria Tacos! The guacamole could use more flavor (tomatoes, lime, onions, etc something) but the tacos made up for it. The decor is nothing special but the value packs are worth every penny read more

Fireside Chicken and Tacos - Burria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

**LUNCH REVIEW** ( 3.5) FIRST TAKE - This is a small mom and pop vibe. Two TVs in the dining area to check out games or whatever local news is on. Good seating for groups of 4-6, and booth seating available as well. You place your order at the counter, pay and then grab a seat. There's a number of choices from rotisserie chicken by the whole or half, wings, a variety of street tacos and even burritos and bowls if you'd prefer something in the lighter side. FEASTING - When you sit down they bring out complimentary chips and salsa, so that was a nice surprise while I waited for my meal (approx. 5 minutes) I ordered the roasted chicken and the classic steak taco. The roasted chicken was just ok. It was lightly seasoned, which is sometimes a good thing, but in this case, a few more shakes would have benefited everyone. The chicken was a little dry, and not as tender as I would've wanted but for the price ($10.99), not bad. It came with potato wedges that were spot on and the fireside slaw which wasn't bad at all. The steak taco came out on a flour tortilla which was a bit tough. Nothing special about the taco, but could tell they have something going for them if you get some good sauce to accompany them. FINAL WORDS - Great place for a quick lunch. Great price point. Would definitely recommend for anyone that wants a quick bite, and get in and out. PRO TIP - Go with a corn tortilla for the tacos. Much lighter and makes for a easier bite. read more

Hole in the wall and What. A. Gem. I haven't had a taco I didn't just love! The Firefighter Shrimp Taco was great. Shrimp was seasoned perfect and fresh, not fishy. It was like a shrimp cocktail in taco form. The Uptown chicken taco is a solid, delicious choice! Chicken is not dry and all the flavors just mesh well. I always go back to this one. It's a classic. They have a "taco of the month" and this month is the Yellow Jacket taco. It is amazing!! My fav thus far! It's crispy chicken with cheese, pico, and I can't remember what else but it was greatness. I'm a water drinker so I really appreciate good tasting water out of the coke machine (often, it tastes terrible!). Here, the water is great! read more

Fireside Chicken and Tacos - 15. Uptown Chicken Taco 17. Firefighter Shrimp Taco - Mexican Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Waitstaff is friendly and welcoming. Restaurant is clean. Food is delicious. My husband and I often stop at Firehouse Rotisserie Chicken and Tacos when we visit Rockwall, TX. Located conveniently on an I-30 westbound feeder road, easy On-Off access. On a recent visit my husband ordered the Chicken Enchilada Platter with Green Sauce, Rice and Beans. He commented that the order was delicious overall, but the sauce was too spicy hot (for him) which of course required a slice of Tres Leche cake to cool his mouth. I sampled the Enchiladas and I thought they were delicious, and I thought the spicy heat was perfect. Next time he will opt for the Queso Cheese topping. I enjoyed the Fireside Salad with Chicken. I used the Spicy Green Hot Sauce as the dressing and it was absolutely Delicious. Great place to eat. Restaurant has a small game room for the kids. Restaurant caters also. read more

Best Mexican food in Rockwall IMO! Chicken pibil tacos are the best, and the flan is heavenly! Customer service is amazing as well! read more

My husband and I have recently moved to the area and first heard of this restaurant from ordering on Uber Eats. We were very impressed the first time we ordered here. Cheap tacos, good food, amazing spicy green sauce, free chips, what more could you ask for! After our first online order, we have been going to eat at the restaurant an embarrassingly amount of time. We love supporting local and will as much as we can. We usually get the steak tacos. We have tried the chicken, beef, al pastor, and birria tacos also, but steak is our favorite! I didn't know you could choose between flour or corn tortillas until I read some of the other reviews, but I agree to go with corn tortillas. The corn tortillas taste and feel very fresh, not sure if they make it themselves, but it feels like it! I love their green sauce. Beware it is very spicy!! We've been told their salsa and green sauce are homemade! I wish I had the recipe! This is definitely a mom and pop local restaurant. The owner is present every now and then. There is a small game room that kids are very excited about. My husband and I challenge each other to a round of foosball after our meal almost every visit. The building doesn't look like much on the outside, but I love the inviting atmosphere. Do not sleep on this place!! read more

Wife really wanted to try this place and grabbed dinner to go the other night. It was ok, comparable to most Taco Joints. I had carne asada and the slab of meat was dry, maybe a qtr cup of veggies but not much more. Wife had some type of bowl and she liked it. Doubt I would go back or if we do maybe try dine in. read more

Nice and clean with friendly workers. Lots of choices and the food overall was really good. Steak tacos were the best. Mom got the fireside salad and liked it. (Didn't care for dressing) MIL got the steak tacos and sautéed veggies. Loved it. I got a steak taco, fish taco, and firefighter shrimp taco. Loved the steak taco. The other two were okay. Spicy sauce was good but overpowering. I didn't taste the shrimp. Fish tasted like dirt. I'll come back for steak tacos!! read more

Today I had an impromptu lunch with my daughters at Fireside. The service and food was great. The cashier was patient with my children as they work on speaking up for themselves and placing food orders. I ordered #14 with Chicken. My street taco was delicious and not dry. I enjoyed the mix of Cilantro, chicken with a slice of avocado. I also ordered queso and chips that was delicious. The queso is a white queso that is creamy and not too spicy. My children ordered the kids meal chicken tenders. read more

Delicious food great service!! Inside was clean and quiet with music playing. I will definitely be back with my family.

The only okay thing about this place was the free chips and salsas. Tacos were tasteless no flavor at all. And the roasted chicken no flavor. I gave them two chances it may just be me and my taste buds but it will be a hard pass for me from now on. read more

The chicken al Pastor street tacos are phenomenal. Great customer service/ friendly staff.

Every time we go here the food is unbelievable! They are generous with their portions, have an extensive menu to choose from, great desserts and special beverages.

Every time we go to Rockwall, this is our go to place. read more

This place is a hidden gem conveniently located in a shopping center next to Walmart. When my date suggested it was the best place for tacos I was a little hesitant. He however was correct. The tacos were delicious and fresh. I had the shrimp, the chicken, and the beef. I chose black beans that had obviously been soaking and marinating and some deliciousness all day, Along with fresh vegetables as my sides. The owner was gracious enough to come by and clear our table when we were finished. Try it out!! read more

Excellent tacos and rotisserie chicken. The service is great. Prices are more than reasonable and great value. I highly recommend.

Delicious! Authentic and perfect! The Baja tacos are my favorite. Shrimp is big and more than a mouthful of savory Mexican food. I've ordered : chicken flautas- perfectly made, large portion and hot crispy goodness! Baja shrimp tacos are my favorite. Just like when I was in Mexico- authentic and flavorful. Build your own bowl is great. Shrimp, guacamole, corn and beans. Every thing is fresh and made to order. My husband swears by the wings. They made to order, fired up spicy & crispy. You can't go wrong when you order here. I come here a lot and have never had a bad meal. I'm so glad they're open. read more
