Definitely the place to go if you're looking for authentic food from Central America such as Honduras and El Salvador and even Mexican cuisine! Also the prices are very good and affordable with good customer service read more

La Roca - Latin American Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I think this place is my boyfriend and mine's second home! We love this place. Cheap, authentic food. Their baliada (flour tortilla with steak, sour cream, beans, avocado, and cheese) is absolutely delicious and for $3.99 you just can't beat that! We have been coming here for years at all different days of the week at different times. Great service & food. read more

La Roca has the best Carne asada burrito I have ever tasted. The burrito was juicy and very meaty. The meat was very well marinated, not tasting too strong like some asada burrito's get when you marinate them wrong. The burrito came with some fries and a small cup of the condiment of your choice, i chose mustard. The service at La Roca is solid, no rude greetings or long lines here, and the waitress that served us was very nice and even suggested what my brother should try or his first time trying mexican food. Definitely liked this restaurant and definitely will be coming back. read more

Food was okay, meat was a bit tough but flavorful and service was fine, but nothing special.

The food here is authentic. You can tell they made it with love... and a fryer. Great pupusas and decent horchata. The black dean dip and chips are awesome. read more

Good food.taco de lengua and chorizo are yummy, the marañon drink is delicious, and it is a local family own business. read more

Very nice place and first time I've had Salvadorian food. Our waitress Carolina was very friendly and efficient, food came out fast. Enjoyed the fried tortillas and beans as the free appetizer. I had the pescade the Rojo, it was very good and amazingly reasonably priced... a deep fried whole red snapper for $16 !!!. The salsa verde is also very good and worth trying. I give it 5 stars read more

Great food, but the wait is very long. They should also practice on coming to ask if you need anything in the meantime. The food is worth it! read more

This place used to be my favorite place to eat. I've always loved their pupusas and are the best in the area and drive from Stafford to have them. But, recently in the last year their service has completely changed. It'll take upwards to an hour to receive your food, the food is not as great as it used to be and they add a gratuity fee of 18% if there are more then 5 ppl (they never did this before), they don't even explain that to you nor is it listed on their menu or anywhere else in the restaurant. It wouldn't be a big deal if they'd let the customer know before ordering, and not being shocked when they receive the bill. Anyways, I doubt I will be coming to this place anymore and if I do it'll be for pupusas or baleadas to go. I give them 2 stars only because of the pupusas and baleadas. read more

Love love love La Roca! Best food in town! Everything always tastes delicious! The "Plato Taco de carne asada" is my favorite. Can't forget about the pupusas and plátanos... especially the frijoles! Yum yum yummmmm! Favorite place to eat hands down! :D read more

Haven't been here for three years Thought I'd give it another chance so I Ordered some Pupusas today and when we got home to eat we were very disappointed it didn't have much of anything inside and no flavor, it was more of a tortilla than a Pupusas now I remember why I stopped going there in the first place read more

Very rude customer service. I called in a order and they told me 25 mins it would be ready. Ok no problem, I went 30 min after ordering my order. Not even greeted, staff saw me standing at the counter for 5-8mins and nothing. Finally after waiting 10mins they ask what i wanted and i tell them I'm there for my food. It was still not ready!!! 40mins and my food was not ready. Waited for another 15mins! Basically it took them an hour to get the food ready. When I got home the food was cold! NEVER EVER AGAIN!!! Horrible service! read more

This place is great I've been going here for years, if you want great authentic Hispanic food this is the place for you. No offense to half the people that have comment on here but most of the ones that say this place sucks is because they aren't used to real Hispanic food. They just want their chips and salsa lol. I'm sorry but this isn't a tex-mex. Also the wait is sometimes lengthy because it's a busy place but trust me it's Worth it! read more

They used to have really friendly staff, however, not any more these few months. About a month ago, I stopped by around 9:15 pm trying to dine in. The door wasn't locked, but the restaurant was empty, so I wasn't sure if they closed or not. I noticed the store hours showed they closed at 10 pm. So I decided to walk in and asked. The lady told me they were closed. Normally restaurant wouldn't let you dinner in less than 30 mins before close. However, it's only 9:15 pm. So I questioned her about the hours posted on the door, she said they just changed the hours and didn't got chance to fix it. In the following 10 mins I still saw some ppl went to picked up their food. Not sure if owner knew what their employee did. Nevertheless , I would never go back again. Since their food is not consistent as well. read more

I am a fan of their food. I would definitely recommend their tacos de lengua, lomo saltado, plato especial la roca, and I love their strawberry-banana milkshake. read more

I've tried pupusas from the west coast to the motherland itself (El Salvador) and I must say, this place is my favorite. Not as good as my mom's but nothing ever comes close :) In addition to delicious pupusas, the staff is always quick and friendly- always a plus! read more

So what is the 'right' way to eat a papusa? Roll it like a pancake? Fold it like a taco? Eat it with a fork? I finally asked a native so I wouldn't look like a fool. It turns out that the servers there actually just tear of pieces of the papusa and eat it it mouthful by mouthful. BUT, the waitress also said that eating with a fork was ok, as the way you eat a papusa is often a function of how poor the country you came from was. Rich country...use a fork. Poor country....use your hands. I'm not high class, so I decided to rip and tear. So at least now I know I'm not doing it wrong. BTW, la Roca was good, and fairly cheap. The Huevos rancheros platter with Chorizo was huge! read more

We were on our way back down south and found this place using yelp. The place is unassuming and tiny inside. We ordered a ton of food and the portions were large and the prices were great. I really enjoyed my tamales and the pupusas. read more

Stepping into the small restaurant, I was immediately greeted by a helpful and friendly waitress. I really enjoy finding good, local places and was drawn by excellent yelp reviews. Not very hungry, I ordered a Torta Mexicana ... a Mexican sandwich (opting for carnitas) and was surprised by this monster! It was huge! It was also very good. The meal also came with chips and fresh salsa. I'm definitely returning and encouraging my friends to visit. read more

I come to woodbridge from time to time and I try to eat at different latin restaurant in the area. The food was okay ... if you like grease and a heart attack. Like previous reviews, it is a hole in the wall and the service is not as attentive as I would expect. I believe in eating to your hearts content but I would like to eat without having a heart attack after. There are definitely better places, its just a matter of choice (mine is to not come back) read more

Picked up a couple of steak tacos. They were pretty good, beans were also flavorful. Will defintely return to try more on the menu.

Awful experience, went there with a group of friends and we all ordered a " Desayuno tipico ", it took about 40 minutes to get our food, our server was no where to be seen, the food was cold and our server still a no show except to bring us the check which it's probably the worst part, since some in our group requested a separate check and to our surprise each individual checks had the TIP included, yes that is correct. A $9.00 check had a $2.50 tip added. Probably because they know in advance what a bad service and food they have and they force us to pay tips . It was the biggest waste of time and money I had experienced in a long time, I would recommend a trip to taco bell or chipotle instead of this terrible place. Advice to management : train servers with a better attitude and attention to customers, stop adding tips to the checks so the customer decides how to reward the service and the food and not rewarding yourself for what you do not deserve. read more

We were treated to this restaurant by the daughter of a friend, who speaks good Spanish, not a bad idea. Sarah ordered for us a wide assortment of traditional Salvadorian fare and taught us the way to eat it also not a bad idea. Very flavorful yet simple and very plentiful. I think you can go in there without any idea about what Salvadorian food is because the menu has English translations and pictures. The staff & service was prompt and 6 of us ate for $40. We did not go away hungry! Try the traditional drinks..I had some sort of fruit drink with luscious melon flavors. read more

The wait is too long. Waited 45 minutes for 3 basic mexican tacos. Not worth the drive on rt.1 either.

Food was excellent and at a reasonable price. There was a good variety of platters to choose from. Their food tasted authentic. I ordered the Plato Especial which was basically a sampling of their grilled chicken, steak, and shrimp with sides of rice, refried beans, and salad. I would definitely recommend that dish. They also served a basket of thick chips and refried bean dip with cheese as a free appetizer. I'd return to this place again if I'm in the area. read more

La Roca is an unassuming neighborhood style Salvadorean restaurant tucked into an low rent strip mall along Route 1. When my companion and I entered we were the only white guys in the place. I was prepared to order everything in Spanish, but the employees spoke English reasonably well. That and the English descriptions of each menu item helped my companion, who doesn't speak Spanish and is a timid eater. I couldn't get him to try the pupusas, though that just meant more for me. They were very good. Be sure to eat them with the curtido (pickled cabbage) -- that's the best garnish. Our entrees of al pastor (barbecue pork) and sauteed shrimp were very good, too. read more

This place is amazing, the food is great.The pupusas are good, the fried tortillas and beans are amazing.The service is quick. They have made a couple of mistakes on our order in the past they could get better.Overall good experience. read more

The food is bomb. I really like this place bcus instead of chips and salsa they give you free tortillas con frijoles y queso. Nice touch for Salvadorians. I Love bite. Only disliked I have is the wait. Food takes forever to come out. read more

Had my first Pupusa here and holy bat cave, batman! The food is great, the service is wonderful and the prices are even better.

Came here on a Sat for lunch after shopping. Def a hole in the wall but clean and neat so no issues there. Service was quick and pleasant. The waitress automatically speaks to me in Spanish when taking my order...I don't speak Spanish but okayyy... I ordered a coke, chips and salsa and a small queso dip to start, and the chicken chimichanga for my meal. The chips seemed homemade and were good, as was the salsa. The chimichanga, beans and rice were very good also, and I rarely eat rice and beans. The only complaints were that the coke was flat and tasted like some off brand and the queso dip tasted almost identical to Tostinos brand with some jalepenos added in. Just my opinion, but I'd pass on it if I were to eat here again. All in all it was a good place to get a quick Mexican food fix. read more

These recipes have been passed down through some generations. I got the Carne Asada and a pork and cheese puppsa. I'll start with the puppsa, I'm new to these but I know a tell tale sign is the cheese when u put it apart and this had it. Flavorful pork and the sauce complimented it well. The Carne Asada stole the show. Tender and so flavorful. You can taste the garlic and reminds me of my grandma cooking them up. I took a star off for the beans a rice being cold, but lets face it we are here for the meat!Venture off and give this hidden gem a try! read more

YUMM!! The pupusas are delicious!! I also loved the plantains, refried beans and sour cream. Best Salvadorian food I've had in Woodbridge!

Food is good but service is horrible. Unfortunate because it's one of the only good places serving home-made style Central American dishes. Moved to the area about a year an a half ago and used to order take out weekly if not biweekly for my family of 6 but after 3 bad experiences I can no longer justify the drive to pick up food when I will be treated as if they're doing me the favor. Tried looking for a number to contact the owner or whom ever is above the manager (she's the one with the attitude and very distasteful come backs when it is about customer service - well you should of checked your order before leaving, well you should've called back to confirm, well that's just not our problem) I'm talking missing food once - she tried to say that we ate that specific part of the order and she couldn't do anything - then getting overcharged at a dine in visit - and tonight placed the order at 7:30 she said I had to pay over the phone - I said okay can I call you right back when I have my wallet and am on my way and she said okay - I asked her to please put the order in because I was a 15 minute drive away and would call once I was in my vehicle - she said ok - I said again so you will put the order in right? She said yes, I then called back and was on hold for the entire 15 minute drive to the restaurant with NO ANSWER. Got there at 8:25 and still with attitude told me she didn't put it in because I didn't call back like I was supposed to, it's 8:49 and I'm still waiting on the order... I understand rules but honestly their phone system directs you to all 3 locations and it's like your holding for customer service for the IRS. Ridiculous. read more

I went here the other day and was so pleased with this place. It was delicious, cost effective, clean, and quick. I ordered a few pupusas and a burrito, and my friend ordered the La Roca plate. After ordering we were given the complimentary bean dip, which we devoured within minutes. All of our food was exceptional. Nothing was overly cheesy (something that happens with pupusas) nor greasy. It was all just right. The La Roca plate even came with a slice of traditional cheese, which was delicious. This is truly an authentic dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for quality food. They were also quite accommodating when I wanted to order a vegetarian burrito and pupusa, always a plus in my book! read more

The food is good but the service is terrible! We were a group of seven, and they only gave us one basket of chips. We had to constantly reach over each other to get some chips. The server took our order, and didn't repeat it back to us so she got our order wrong. When we asked her if we can get the pupusas we ordered she caught an attitude and told us we never ordered those pupusas to begin with. Finally when we asked her to split the check she made a face. It made me feel so upset, being a server myself I know it's not too hard to split a check in two. Plus there was no one else in there so it's not like she was busy seeing other tables. But ultimately I found out she had such a bad attitude because no matter how she treats the guest the store automatically charges you an 18% gratitude tip. Very dissatisfied with their service, but the food was great. read more

Its really good,i love the pollo con tajadas, but the service is not than good im server and i was like Ok they do that here, but anyways credits for the baleadas, good place and i think is the only one in woodbrige that sale Honduras food read more

Really good food. I ordered mine to go, and they didn't put my shrimp in the bag. My fault for not checking before I left (which I normally do.) Also, they give you a lot of food, which is good, but only 2 miniature tortillas. I needed 2 more. Luckily I had more at home for my leftovers. I would recommend. read more

GREAT authentic Mexican food! Bean dip appetizer is different and I love it. They also have Jarritos, horchata, and juego fresco, although the options for the juego fresco are limited. Their menu has lots of classic mexican dishes that you don't see at a lot of other places including shrimp cocktail and fried fish. read more

This is an authentic Mexican hole-in-the-wall located in one of many cluster strip shopping centers of Woodbridge. It's been a while since I've been there as I've moved from Lorton to Vienna, however, I can still remember each thing I've tried like it was yesterday! Everything is tasty and well-priced. Deducting one star for sanitary purposes... but it doesn't stop me from going back! Hahaha FOOD: - You get complimentary homemade tortilla chips with a black bean dip. Delicioso! - The quesadilla with steak was pretty good. No complaints. - Platos Tacos - I don't recall exactly, but I believe you get a 2-3 tacos along with a side of refried beans, etc. The tacos were very good! I believe they were served on a corn tortilla. - Pupusas - I've had the cheese/pork as well as the bean/cheese pupusas. They are served with homemade pickled medley of crunchy cabbage and other thinly sliced veggies. Add a generous portion of their house hot sauce and you've got yourself a very cheap meal (or appetizer in our case)! - [Name Unknown] - There's a soup dish comprised of beef, potatoes (or yuca I forgot), corn, lime, etc. Whatever this is called, it's worth getting!! The broth alone is trip-worthy. - Horchata - my first time trying this ever was here. It's a blended sweet rice drink made with milk, cinnamon and sugar. Very good, I'd highly recommend trying this if you haven't. SERVICE: Everyone that has served us has been pretty friendly, even with difficulty understanding one another. Nothing a little bit of pointing and some conversable nodding can't fix! read more
