What a gem! Nice lady has a drive up window on each side of this location, makes your food fresh. Be ready to wait a few minutes, especially if she's got a line. Took us about 20min from being behind a customer, to placing our order to receiving our order. So a little longer than a regular drive thru but the food is good! Pro Tip: the habanero sauce is fire! I mean it will literally taste like fire when you use it, so be careful! Her other sauce is so delicious! Perfect spice and flavor! The habanero is for when you really like a kick to your tastebuds! Get it! Asada was more tender and almost shredded compared to a lot of the other places I go to. I didn't mind it! Burrito was a win and would come back for another. The Esquite was good! It definitely tasted more like melted Mayo with corn sitting in it but it wasn't a bad thing. The hibiscus was fantastic! Taste was one of the better drinks I've had from any Mexican restaurant. Pro Tip: be ready for them not to have certain things. Being a mom and pop shop, the day we went they didn't have horchata or tamales. Give this place a go if you're ever done getting your car washed, or happen to be coming or going down this area. Make sure not to pass it, it's right next to Gozen. read more

I called to see if Rocio's could cater 2 days before an event and they really came through for our company. The food was great and the customer service was even better! Will definitely be reaching out in the future for our catering needs. read more

This is hands down THE BEST RESTAURANT PERIOD!!(MEXICAN)! Every single time I am here I am met with friendly people; they're not staff nor does it feel like it's a service. it's more on lines of lucking up on some(extra) really good food that you're going to go and pick it up! Neo is such a kind young man who's smart witty caring hella funny and an amazing talented cook/chef ! Always polite soft spoken yet proud to let you try something different and new that he himself made! So if Visalia local or Visitors are hungry but not too sure but want to show off our restaurants... no brainer! I ate my food so no photos.. Sorry read more

They do it their way and it's a winner. Made to order and with great fresh ingredients. The food was well balanced and good portions! We were excited to try it and the whole family enjoyed the food. We will grab some food on the way out! Check them out! read more

What an incredible find. I'm so happy my wife used doordash and said, "let's check out this little drive thru." So we drove across town, and long behold we found the tiny location of rocio's drive thru. I say Tiny location, but this little hut packs some huge flavor. From strawberries and cream, to hand made asada tacos, from esquite to menudo, they have it all. It was extremely hard to decide what I wanted to get due to the overwhelming amount of delicious items that were on the menu. I myself ordered 3 hand made tacos, which I enjoyed quite a bit. Although I would have enjoyed a tiny bit more asada, the tacos definitely satisfied my craving for authentic Mexican food. The tortillas were delicious, I love hand made tortillas. The asada was honestly amazing, I just wish I had more in the tacos! The tortilla to asada ratio was slightly off but no biggie. The sauce was delicious, I'm unsure what kind of sauce it was honestly, but god damn it was good. I WILL be going back, and definitely recommend this location to anyone else looking for a late night bite. To the ladies at Rocio's, thank you! read more

I took the recommendation of a friend, and decided to stop by. The only good thing about this was the service. She was great, I came by at 7:45 pm and thought "yeah, this could be good" especially since the young lady was so nice and the service was great. Getting home and ready to eat, was the surprise that waited for me. As I opened the container and took a look at my food I was disappointed. No, greatly disappointed. The torta was missing a lot of ingredients: no tomatoes, no avocado, little beans, mostly lettuce, and slivers of what appeared to be meat. It was disappointing. read more

Rocio's catered our outdoor summer wedding, and we highly recommend them! We got to do a tasting before the wedding to customize the menu. The food was really good and the guests loved it. We highly recommend them! read more

This place looked good and very fair for something authentic and quick. My daughter and I went with a simple choice taquitos de papa and some with chicken along with one red enchilada. The menu says it come with sour cream lettuce and coto cheese. There was not cheese and it not only did it take forever which I didn't mind but it was thrown together with no love at all. Very dissatisfied but I will try again one day and hope my experience changes. read more

After driving past this place almost daily for over a year, I stopped by a couple of weeks ago and bought a burrito. It was fantastic! A couple days later I stopped by for 3 tacos. Amazing food with the convenience of a drive thru read more

I called last minute before an event... 2 hours before. They came through with a tray of rice and beans! The nicest employees, and owner. Forever thankful for their customer service!!!! read more

Drive thru was a unique experience. It does take longer than normal fast food chains, but you know you will be getting a freshly cooked meal! Ordered carne asada fries and asada burrito. Fries are awesome, it's legit when they know not to add beans (beans are the bane of my existence). Crisp fries with flavorful meat, salsa and cheese! Definitely will come back. Same with the burrito. Call ahead if you want. They also have different flavors of tamales but for that call 1-1.5 hours ahead. Again, you know it's made fresh. Will make it a point to come back. Will try their tamales and update this review. read more

Rocio's Catering - Drive thru menu. To order tamales, call 1 hour ahead of time. - Caterers Near Me - Exeter, California

If I could give them negative stars I would ! A year later and their tameles are still 99% masa and 1% meat. At this point there's not even mean in the tamale. So embarrassing so sell these and claim they're for our culture. This business and everybody who started it, worked for it or even laid a single finger for them should be embarrassed and honestly it's sad that the owner is selling this gross food like bro are you Fr ? Never go here for food if you're hungry you might as well go eat a vegan burger or honestly go vegan in general. PLEASE DONT GO HERE read more

just move here and have been dying to find a mexican spot caved in and tried this place today. got a plate for rice beans & 2 tacos which was 8 mf .50 like wtf anyways the pastor taco was ehhh, asada is ver flavorful rice is bomb as fawk beans have no water in them so your getting youe money out the beans rice and asada very small portion of rice and beans sadly if this place wasnt 8.50 for two dam tacos i would do back. overall best part of the plate is the hand made tortillas rice and asada, the didnt skimp on the meat either also all prices are 1$ higher as of today read more

My family was able to try Rocio's for the first time the other night, from their drive-thru location on Caldwell. If the food there is any indication, having them cater an event would be a wonderful addition to a party. I got to try my first elote (Mexican street corn) and it more than lived up to it's hype. The carne asada burrito had a delicious blend of heat and flavor. The menu (both at the location and online) is outdated, with some items no longer available. Hence the 4-star rating. The staff are trying to get them updated, but as with many things during the pandemic it takes much longer than normal. The staff, however, are extremely friendly and more than willing to talk you through any item questions or changes when you call about an order. I look forward to upping it to a 5-star on a future visit (of which we anticipate many). At this time there is no outdoor seating available, and we weren't able to try here before the pandemic so not sure about seating once things return to 'normal'. Definitely worth checking out. read more

We hired Rocio's catering for our impromptu wedding reception/pool party in our backyard. We ordered the Taco Bar with beef, chicken & pork. Came with all the fixings and side dishes were rice, beans & salad. The food was plentiful & excellent! We received so many compliments how how good the food tasted. Rocio and her son, Noe, were very professional and friendly. They set everything up and served us! They brought in their own tables along with tablecloths and the serving trays with burners to keep the food hot. I was so impressed! They exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Rocio's Catering for your event and we will definitely be using them again for our next shindig! read more

Visalia needed good Mexican food, they say california is the place to be when it comes to Mexican food but when moving here I was sadly disappointed until ... today! Rocios catering has a small drive thru worth the visit! Had been searching most of the Mexican joints in town and this filled my craving for sure! Originally from LA area and nothing beats it but this is to par. The woman in the drive through was very nice and happened to get a meal just to taste the meat out, it was great. The rice and beans were perfect! Thanks for a great meal, satisfied this pregnant woman's craving. read more

Note-if you are in a hurry, avoid this place! There was no one in line and our food took 20 min. That being said, the carne asada burrito was very good, but cold. Enchiladas were not great-chicken was dry. Also our server forgot my elote and we had to wait another 5 min for him to make it. Elote was just ok as well. read more

My family has missed living next door to you. The amazing smells coming to our house from yours. The fresh tamales every morning has been seriously missed. Today I grabbed 1 1/2 dozen of your pork tamales for a pot luck at work. I ordered ahead and you had them hot and ready. As I expected they were soooo good. Just as I remember several years ago. My co-workers loved them as well. I am so happy for you and your success. Hard work and dedication pays off. See you again soon!!! read more

I have been going there for a few years now. If you want a big Burrito done right this is the place. They are very nice and they make your food when you order it. The food has great flavor and they don't scrimp on meat. read more

Very good food and friendly service! My favorites so far are Carne asada burritos, Carne asada torta and their handmade tortilla Carne asada Tacos. Yum. I like getting their green salsa and agua de orchata. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Rocio's Catering (RC). They are friendly, calm, professional, and rise to challenges. I had a mixture of guests at my party who kept halal, kosher-style, vegetarian, and vegan; there were food allergies to gluten, dairy, and certain fish; and two of my guests wanted to prepare some food as a gift and have it presented with the caterer's buffet. As if that were all, my preferred menu featured nothing that was one of RC's Mexican specialties. The only reply was: when would you like to come for a tasting of your menu? The tasting was delicious, and RC was able to keep the same quality and flavor scaled up to my party of 100. The tri-tip hit it out of the ballpark, fork tender and with a deep beef flavor. Several of my guests want RC's recipe for baba ganoush. The Moroccan-style carrots were perfectly al dente, and the Israeli salad was chock-full of cucumbers that tasted freshly picked from the garden. I was especially impressed that RC's tahini didn't come from a jar: they started with sesame seeds, which they toasted and ground themselves. There was no need to worry about the quantity of the food: however hungry I thought my guests would be, RC thought they would be hungrier. RC kept note of all the different food restrictions and allergies, and took great care that there would be no cross-contamination either in the kitchen or in the buffet line. Elder and Rocio answered all of my questions courteously, no matter how many times I promised that this was the last question. I found the cost very reasonable, and I highly recommend Rocio's Catering. read more

I ate here two nights in a row. The first night I got the 4 street tacos combo which came with a kids size drink for $4.99. The tacos were good but there was way too much lettuce or cabbage whatever it was. The next night I got the Papis favorite burrito and it was ok. If I have known they used pinto beans I wouldn't have got a burrito. And it doesn't say it comes with lettuce but they sure did put it in there while also forgetting to add the sour cream and guacamole that it says it comes with. As far as the meat it really wasn't anything special I mean I could hardly tell it was there. Way to kill the craving I had for carne asada, thank you! read more

The service was horrible! No one would come to the window to take our order. A male finally came to the window minutes later. The menu states they have Pespi but we were told they had only Coca Cola products, we then ordered a Sprite but never received it. They tried to double charge me for the sprite when i asked for it. I ordered beans and rice but were told they were out of rice. The side of beans we received were cold. The first time our order was handed to us, they were missing five tacos. They also forgot our additional sides. I called back and told them that they didn't not complete my order if i could return and get my items. They told me no, because they were cleaning up. I will never return to this establishment, and i recommend that you don't either. read more

As an avid Yelper, I contacted Rocio's based on their single Yelp review knowing it was a bit risky but they had more pictures and reviews on Facebook too which helped. I am so happy I did! We had a tasting of the options within 12 hours of contacting them and had a tough time deciding between all the amazing meat options. Rocio's was early to setup and when my mothers funeral was over they were ready for our group of 100+ emotional guests. All the food was served piping hot and quick. Everyone LOVED the food! Carnitas (moist and amazing), Carne Asada (real cuts of beef, seasoned and soft!) and pollo, rice (dry and flavorful, not mushy at all), frijoles (from the pot vs decried by my choice, awesome), both the rojo and the verde chile was spicy and fresh (could tell they were not from a jar). Will definitely be using them again in the future, a bunch of our family grabbed a card for their events too! Funerals are always tough but it was great to not have to worry about our catering experience, Rocio's was friendly, professional and stepped up to the challenge! A+ read more

Food was amazing! Had them for a catering tonight and we all absolutely loved it. I didn't catch the guy's name but he was so friendly as well. 10/10 recommend read more

We used Rocio's catering in August of this last year to cater for our 145+ guest wedding it was a vowel renewal at the Elks Lodge in Porterville. The catering that they did it was so awesome and we highly recommend them. My husband and I met with them about a month before the wedding and set up a menu they offered us several choices of meat and several choices and drinks to go with the taco bar option that we chose. The food that they have is absolutely delicious and everything is so flavorful we had a hard time picking from all of the meats they had to offer because they all were so so good. It was the same for the beverages all of their stuff is homemade and top-notch. We originally planned for 100 guests an Elder gave us a good deal per plate that we were very satisfied with he went over every single detail with us and we feel confident as we left our deposit with him to save the date. As we almost approached our wedding day we ended up with way more guests than we thought we would have and Elder was able to accommodate us and we were so thankful. We look forward to doing business with them again if possible for a large event. they were very professional and took care of every detail my husband and I were able to rest easy as they catered served and cleaned up everything for dinner for our guests . We are a big fan of sweet tea and they have a delicious homemade sweet tea that is so unique and different than anyone we've ever tried. Stop by and try some of their food the el pastor was my husband's favorite!!! And I personally loved The chili Verde was my favorite. (just so you know the photos I posted were from their drive-through on a different day in Visalia not our wedding dinner LOL) read more

My husband and I have eaten here before and the food was decent. Second time around when we pulled up we were told there was no carne asada?! Ok the third time I went I ordered a California burrito the kid said ok and took my order! I get home and it's beans, rice and slivers of meat! The beans were burnt wasn't even edible! Very disappointed and will not go back! read more

I have been driving by this location for weeks and I have been wanting to stop by and try their food. Today I finally got a chance to stop and get some food. OMGZ!! So so so worth the wait! First of all, tthey make your food fresh! No food that has been sitting under a lamp for an hour, but fresh made to order. A HUGE plus for me is that they handmake their tortillas, and you just can't beat the taste of homemade tortillas. I love the steak tacos, fresh ingredients, delicious, well seasoned meat, and to top it off, the red and green salsas. The cheese enchiladas are super cheesy and flavorful, just absolutely delicious. The lady was so nice and very warm and friendly, I will definitely keep going back for more great food! read more

Sooooo yummy!!! We got some food from the drive up the other night and the Asada tacos were amazing!!! The service was also great. My only and this is minor complaint is that the bean and cheese burrito that we got was cold. Not like ice cold but not food warm. We only live about 2 min away. However, when I reheated it the next day it was very good. I like the beans because you can tell they are homemade. Does anyone know if they have a spicer salsa for the tacos? read more

Ehen it comes to tamales I am very hesitant to buy some from a restaurant, they either have no meat or the masa is dry and has no flavor. I am SO glad I bought an order of tamales. read more

I ordered two plates the taquitos had no guacamole and no flavor and the second plate I ordered was asada fries there was only a little bit of cheese on one corner of the fries and that's it NO asada no sour cream nothing. So I called them and they said to come back and she'll make another order but when I got there it was closed all of the sudden??? Yeah sounds unbelievable read more

Elder and his wife Rocio are wonderful people and very professional. They provided a Taco Bar for our daughter's wedding this past weekend and everything turned out fabulous! They took care of every detail so we didn't have to worry about anything. Their pricing is reasonable and our guest raved about the food! We will definitely use Rocio's again for any event we might be hosting. Try them, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Elder & Rocio! read more
