I recently visited Roca's located in Radford, Virginia last Thursday night. I was visiting my daughter in college and we both craved some Mexican food. Roca's is literally maybe two miles away from RU Campus. When we arrived we were immediately greeted and sat down. The table was attached to a window and there were a few ants crawling around. We simply just killed them and moved on. It took nearly 10 mins for the server to come take our drink orders and another 5 minutes to actually get our drinks. They were not crowded at all. The food came out quickly and was tasty. Would go again. read more

2nd time getting takeout, both times our order was wrong, tonight no beans and rice with my meal and pico de gallo on my husbands meal. I love their food in restaurant but no more takeout for us !!! read more

In town visiting family and was craving Mexican. Rocas hit the spot! Had a nice evening on the patio sipping their delicious margarita//sangria mixed drink! Any place that gives you chips and salsa when you sit is good in my book! We ordered the tacos (steak) and chicken fajitas. Tasty! The service was great which is always appreciated. read more

Don't get a steak taco salad here. Second time having this and the first time I didn't even eat it, but this time I ate the shell. The manager told me to ask for less beans because it's what makes it soupy, so I did. read more

Very tasty food and great service. We'll be back. Got the lunch menu and everything was good and price was right. Very clean as well. read more

Rocas is a nice atmosphere with decent service and very poor Mexican food. I have tried it twice now and really want to like it, because it's close to home. First time I had Fajitas. They were tasteless and the meat was tough. This time I tried a combo thinking you can't mess up the basics of ground beef tacos and enchiladas. This food was no better and may have been worse. Not much flavor. Ground beef is so fine I swear they must have put it in a blender. It's mush. Add that to super watery and relatively flavorless salsa and I just can't do it. Will drive into Christiansburg to El Bronco from now on. read more

First of all the restaurant is clean and has great vibe, the staff even seem to enjoy working here which is reflected in the food. We started with potato skins, wow, wonderful ! Fajitas where perfect and margaritas are on point. I will be coming back here soon - best Mexican in NRV. read more

This is not going to happen to everyone but it's worth knowing if you care about other people. Or dogs. I have a disability. I have epilepsy and I have a signal dog that gives me a heads up when I'm possibly going to have a seizure. Long story short I was refused service tonight because of my JackRussell Terrior. Ruby was doing her job as she was trained to do and not bothering anyone. The manager asked me to provide "documents" to prove my disability. I could not comply because I don't carry medical records around with me and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) doesn't allow businesses to demand documents, ID cards, or vests. Before the ADA, seeing eye dogs wore vests but docs haven't been required for Service Animals for 10+ years. [The following was all done very politely. No one made a fuss or caused a scene. I doubt if anyone else even noticed.] When the manager came over to talk to us about my dog, he brought his phone to show me something that said, "Myth: Restaurants and businesses that sell or deal with food can legally deny access to a service dog team." I pointed out that the first word in that sentence was "myth" but he interpreted this to mean the opposite of what it said. Well, after a chuckle, I showed him an explanation of the ADA from the American Epilepsy Association. After reading this he consulted with his waitress who claimed to have a service animal for a psychological condition. She said I needed to show an ID card. In fact, the waitress was mistaken because she has a "support dog" which is not the same as a Service Animal and not covered by the ADA. But the manager believed his waitress with emotional issues rather than the American Epilepsy Association. So, he asked us to leave. I was humiliated and hungry but I didn't want to cause a commotion so we left and went to another restaurant. The end. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great service, family friendly, vegetarian options ...glad we came here!!!!

Well, I believe the curse on this piece of real estate has been lifted. Rocas Mexican Grill is actually really good. As already mentioned, the chips, salsa and ranch dip are delicious. Plus, free is always a plus. My dining partner ordered the chimichangas. I was treated to a taste and it was flavorful and fresh. I ordered a tamale and a chili relleno. Simple, yes but it's how a judge a Mexican place. The tamale was good but the chili relleno was outstanding. The crust was perfect, cheese and sauce also perfect. This is the best Mexican food around and the place is clean, like spotless. The wait staff dresses neatly and they all present themselves quite well. We liked everything so much, we decided to treat ourselves to a couple coronarita's. You should consider doing the same. Salud! read more

Great mexican food. If you like chicken tortilla soup this is the place to go. Loaded with chicken meat and flavor is great

The worst tex-mex food you will ever get. I highly recommend finding another place to dine at. Food order was wrong and service was slow. Not good tasting food, maybe not even seasoned. The salsa could pass from your local dollar tree brand bs. read more

I traveled here for a week visit for work. I honestly did not expect much because its Blacksburg. It was cute on the outside and inside. Like I was actually surprised it was nice. Food was super fast and the guac was so good. They also had this sauce that comes with the chips, that I have never heard or seen before. Its white and its ranch and sugar. I know that sounds super gross and it is odd but it was good! They were accomadating! read more

Three out of six dishes were just wrong. One entree showed up 25 mins after the others. Shrimp fajitas were burned and stuck to the plate. Sides were wrong,late or had to be requested three times. Should have gone to Taco Bell. read more

Friendly local place, on Lee Hwy, outside of Radford. Just the other side of the bridge over Bisset Park. Easy parking standard fare, we had the the pick 2 dinner and a Pescado Yucatán - Grilled, marinated Tilapia fish w/ grilled veggies, and some shredded Chicken nachos. All dishes were served hot at the same time. Full service bar, clean bathrooms, small outdoor eating patio, avg costs, family friendly. read more

Use to really enjoy this place, but the years and increase in business has taken a toll. Great service gone bad... Hot food gone cold... Not a good sign. read more

This might be a 4 star in a more populated area, but for SW Virginia it's a 5. Complimentary chips and salsa also accompanied by some sort of mildly spicy Mexican ranch. I had a bacon wrapped shrimp dish that was excellent (see picture). It came with the house rice and a small salad. My girlfriend had a shrimp/beef/chicken burrito (Texano Burrito) that was huge and very good. The building is new which is refreshing, but we sat on the outdoor patio which was even more refreshing! Stop in and keep them busy! read more

adriana is a great server and plan on going to her again in the future- funny and good food.

Recommended by a friend and Rocas did not disappoint. Salsa with cilantro was perfect. I had the Yucatán chicken. The chicken was tender and delicious. The vegetables were hot but still crisp, not overcooked. The wait staff was friendly and competent. I highly recommend Rocas. read more

i go here all the time and my parents request to eat here when they come to visit. all the staff are wonderful and the food is always good!

Wow this place was amazing. I went in on a Friday night and was seated very quickly. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the "Tapatio" which is a combination of thinly sliced grilled chicken and ribeye smothered with grilled onion, mushrooms, and cheese sauce served with rice and beans. I was pleasantly surprised by their freshly made mojito which I had heard was their signature drink. Fun, fast, and friendly with great ambiance. Definitely a good date spot, looking forward to my next visit. read more

One of the worse experiences I've had in over a decade. We had a party of seven (children included) and the service was horrible. I rarely write reviews but after this highly unprofessional encounter how could I not. Service was rude, Space was limited, food mediocre and did I mention SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE! Never again, and I'd advise to spend your money elsewhere. read more

i got the worst food poisoning i've ever had in my life, debilitating. i had to miss an important exam because i was too sick after eating here. read more

We have eaten here about 5 times since it opened, two of which were carryout. All of these experiences were great. I get fajita nachos with chicken and it is some of the best i've had in the area. Ive heard some say they thought the food was either too spicy or too plain, but my family has always walked away happy! Staff is always friendly, prompt, and professional! They definitely have our loyalty in Radford! read more

I am never disappointed with the chicken quesadilla. The nacho supremo is good too. Service is and the environment is pleasant. They play decent music. read more

Delicious! We went with 6 adults and two kids and everything was awesome-service, food, ambience-everything. The prices aren't bad at all. They have a big list of $7 dinners (I think you can see them on the menu in the picture I posted) and their portions are huge. My husband and I split the fajitas for one and we STILL had leftovers. They're delicious and we will definitely be going back. read more

Been here twice since it opened; once with my husband and recently brought visiting family to try it out as well. I really want to like it but it's just not quite there. The service is good, it's a beautiful and new building, and food is promptly served. I had the Pina Loca the first time and it was really good; however, before that was served I received a salad without dressing that had also been ordered and it didn't show up until 5 minutes after the salad did. Same thing happened with my MIL ordered the same meal yesterday - why isn't dressing served in the same timeframe as the salad delivery?? My MIL also attempted to order a Mojito (it's on the drink menu!) and was told she couldn't because the restaurant doesn't have mint currently. Odd. I had the signature marked steak item although I don't remember its official name, yesterday. It was greasy, fatty, with gristle throughout it. It was difficult to cut through and enjoy. It was thin as well, to the point that this cheap cut of meat was somewhat folded over in places to make up for its lack of quality. I ordered it medium and it was very overcooked as well (I would say it was "well" done, no pink throughout and kind of chewy/tough). If we come back I won't get the steak again. I should have known since the cut wasn't even listed on the menu (it was NOT worth what was paid for it, for sure and I didn't even bother to box it up to bring home with me...). Authenticity - I guess it is?? However... I have definitely had more authentic and better quality Mexican cuisine in San Antonio while we still lived there!! I think we're just going to have to try somewhere else.. I'm still kind of new to VA.. read more

ROCAS - Great atmosphere and food. Service was spot on and everyone greater us overall great experience! - Mexican Near Me - Radford, Virginia

Always a good meal and decent service at a fair price. Surprised it wasn't busier on a Friday night that may be due to the holiday weekend. We ordered enchiladas revolucion, burrito deluxe, enchilada poblano and enchilada Grande. Every thing was spot on. Always look forward to a meal here when in town. read more

The atmosphere is lovely. Service is always very good. The food is the typical American style Mexican food. Even the carry out comes with with a bag of tortilla chips and two kinds of salsa. Sometimes the food is a bit better than others. Nonetheless, a good experience overall. read more
