Really solid, authentic Mexican food. I ordered some tacos for take out a few days ago and was very happy with the order. I got the pastor, carnitas, and buche. The pastor was my favorite. It had great flavor and I loved the tortillas and onion/cilantro addition. The carintas and buche were also really good, as were the rice and beans that came with it. The green salsa paired really well with the pastor, but the red salsa was also really good. My girlfriend got a chicken burrito and I enjoyed that as well! read more

Love the ambiance here .. feels like you're in a small, quaint Mexican town .. my go to is bean & cheese taco with Green salsa! Yes I know simple .. but morning perfection! For almuerzo, Todos las carnes son delicious .. we love the carne asada, pastor and beef fajita! We prefer the red salsa on the fajita meat but frankly it is all so good. They get busy at lunch and remember this is not fast food so grab an Agua Fresca and watch the novela while you wait! read more

Most expensive breakfast tacos in the DFW area. Love finding a new place for breakfast tacos but this was not it. Mediocre tacos. $11 for two breakfast tacos is insane. What Mexican taco place uses Colby Jack? read more

Unassuming restaurant with utterly fantastic food. The service was fast & friendly, and all the tacos were incredible. We got carnitas, al pastor, chorizo, and tripa--most but not all of the pork options. Each was amazing in its own right. I wish I could eat here everyday. And such a bargain! Loads of food for two people for under $20. read more

Solid 4+ stars. Flavors are spot on. Vibe is everything you want from a true hole-in-the-wall working man's taquería. No pineapple with the al pastor and the carne asada is semi-shredded/pulled beef rather than steak (see pic). But great stuff, and very good roja and verde in the fridge that you can help yourself to. $9.49 for 4 tacos, rice, and beans = solid meal at a great price. read more

La Cocina Del Tio Mon - "Carne asada" in front, "al pastor" in back - Mexican Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

My wife went here after getting the car's oil changed. It is a hole in the wall and they accept cash and credit card, but if you use your credit card they will charge you a $.89 fee. They have a good selection of meat and very authentic. It is not your Tex Mex restaurant and reminds me back at home. One thing they do not have is the salsa bar and chips which is okay. I ordered the torta, wanted carne asada, but instead I got the shredded brisket. The torta itself was good, but the meat was very dry. I did enjoy the aqua fresco as it was nice and sweet to my liking. My wife ended up getting the tacos and it was great. I enjoyed the tongue and the buche was great. The service was good. I would come back here again. read more

In my search for authentic Mexican food, I found this little hidden gem and this place is it! I ordered pozole, menudo and rice.

When people move to Texas and find themselves desperate for tacos as good as perhaps California, I recommend here. It's either here or try the Oak Cliff area just around Dallas. Everywhere else makes tacos that taste the same but okay. Yet this place is noticeably different. Amazing tacos. Very much recommend. The place might not be the cleanest but that seems to be the common theme which these places of amazing food. read more

4 stars?!? No way! First off, we are picky... BUT Seriously great, authentic Mexican food. We had tacos (carnitas, barbacoa, and chicarrón en salsa), and a torta de milanesa. Everything was so fresh, authentic flavors. We now wish that we lived closer. Don't miss out on this little spot! read more

Great Traditional Mexican Food. The Pasole is amazing. The employees are super nice and they roll out the welcome mat.

Most amazing breakfast. This is a family run establishment where many locals come to eat. In fact, you hear much more Spanish than English while you're eating. My fiancé and I were here for a wedding and after reading the reviews, we knew we had to come for ourselves! We got an assortment of tacos. My favorite was the el pastor. We also got their diablo huevos which was amazing. I especially loved the chilaquiles on the side. Definitely was satisfied to the last bite and sad that we were too stuffed to explore more of the menu. read more

La Cocina Del Tio Mon - Carnitas chicken and chorizo/egg tacos. And huevos divorciados - Mexican Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

If you love Street Tacos and real Mexican food I would recommend this place. The owner, Ramon, is there and oversees everything. Is it fancy? No way. It is a hole in the wall that serves great food. You will see workers, families and sometimes friends. I personally really like the Al Pastor tacos. They are spicy and sometimes messy. Food is always good. read more

Highly recommend! This place is so good. Breakfast tacos and huevos rancheros were delicious.

No joke. I come here as much as my schedule allows. I always get the Huevos Divorciados with corn tortillas, each and every time. After I'm done with it, I look forward to the next time I'll be able to eat it again. My husband always get the barbacoa, lingua and carnitas. BEST breakfast ever :) read more

It hurts my heart to write this post because the older man behind the counter was so nice. Also, I had high hopes because it was a tiny hole in the wall place in a strip mall...typically where you find those killer spots. But.....here we go. I ordered the carne asada tostada plate and my husband ordered two carnitas tacos and a carne asada torta. I don't know if I'd call this authentic Mexican. First, my tostadas were made with store bought tostada shells. My nana would roll over in her grave. Second, what I got was not real carne asada but it was like a shredded beef. It was good but salty as hell and greasy. At first I thought they just gave me the wrong kind of meat but the same meat was in my husband's torta, which his torta so soggy that he couldn't finish it. Carne asada is grilled meat, this was obviously slow cooked. He said his carnitas were ok but a little soft. All in all a meh experience which is sad because this place had such high ratings and stellar reviews. read more

This place looked like they had never mopped their floors or even used a broom to sweep. But on top of that our food was cold and we had two kinds tacos - barbaco and supposedly carne asada. Both meats looked the same neither was wha we ordered. They looked like they were made in a crockpot. how can you make carne "asada" in a crockpot! You can't! So trust me... pass on this taqueria! It's bad. Plus the lady at the counter wasn't very pleasant or helpfu! read more

Authentic, delicious food! Salsa was spicy and fresh. Tortillas soft and tender, meat tender read more

The tacos here are very good, the best in Rockwall in my opinion. The tacos are street style and you can get them a la cart or with rice and beans. The rice and beans are fantastic as well. I particularly like the carnitas (roasted pork) and the Al pastor (marinated pork). Their pastor is not from a trompo but still very good. They have enchiladas and tortas, breakfast, and soups. Service is great and the food is consistent! read more

The best tacos in Rockwall.... Great customer service. My to go spot for Mexican food. No regrets.

Keep in my new that three stars isn't all that bad... We were running errands in the area and needed some breakfast so Yelp once again guided our culinary destination. First time here for us and it was a bit confusing if we were supposed to order at the counter or sit and wait for a menu. A quick look at other reviews gave us the answer, order at counter then sit. I ordered the huevos rancheros and they were decent. Comes with two sides. I ordered refried beans and fried potatoes. Overall, the meal was good and staff friendly, just couldn't beat out our favorite Mexican breakfast spot. Still, there are some things I still want to try on their menu and would go back. read more

La Cocina Del Tio Mon - Huevos rancheros, beans, and fried potatoes - Mexican Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Hole-in-the-wall Taqueria saves the day! We go here after church quite often, because it never fails to deliver great authentic Mexican food. You know you are getting real Mexican food when you are the only English speaking person in the place! Order tacos at the counter, and choose from the standard meats and sides. We prefer street tacos with onions & cilantro, and a side of beans - but the breakfast tacos are delicious too! My son Pancho loves the Tortas! Pick a drink from the case, and go sit down to watch the customers or relax! They will bring your tasty meal quickly, with silverware and sauces - and you can pay after you eat. What more could you want from a taqueria?! read more

This place go hard on god I get the tacos al pastor and carnitas it so good omm i nutted

I ordered three types of meat on my tacos (buche, lengua, and chicharron). The amount of meat on tacos were scrumptious and the owner was very friendly and nice. However the meats lacked in flavor and it was a mediocre taco overall. I wish their green salsa was the spicy and creamier kind but it was more like a watery salsa de verde (not much flavor either). With the check in offer I got the red kind of agua de fresca which tasted okay, but nothing special. It tasted like cranberry juice. I wouldn't suggest using the check in offer because the owner seemed hesitant to accept it claiming that it was from forever ago- but he was very friendly and nice about it. It was overall an okay experience with okay food. read more

The huevos rancheros is my favorite, the barbacoa tacos are also very good. I've never had a bad experience the years i've been eating here. Best authentic mexican food in Rockwall by far. (which is hard to come by in this town) read more

This place is a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant. They have booths as well as normal tables with chairs. It's not the cleanest place but it's no dirty either. You order at the counter and I think they make the tacos at the counter. If you wanted a bottled drink, you can grab it from the fridge and they bill you at the end of your meal. They sell ice cream and other small snacks too. I ordered my go-to: pastor, barbacoa, and lengua tacos with rice and beans. All three were pretty decent, nothing amazing or really memorable. The barbacoa and lengua kind of tasted the same, just different textures. The rice was also just okay but the beans were really good! They have red and green salsa. I usually like green salsa because it's more flavorful and the red salsa usually gives more of a kick than flavor but both the salsas were extremely spicy. All in all, the meal was decent and if I'm ever in the area and craving tacos I'd stop by again but I would never go out of my way to come here. read more
