OVERALL I went to Rock N' Taco hoping for some shrimp tacos, but was told they didn't have any shrimp (2/21/2023). After settling on fish tacos, I should have taken my brother's previous advice about their "barbakoa" tacos. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 3 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 3 PARKING There is usually ample parking in the lot. Street parking is also within walking distance for trucks/trailers. LOCATION/AMBIANCE I didn't even bother with changing the location from Bender Blvd to Joe Harvey Blvd, but they are and have had their trailer parked next to Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Enchanged Lands, REALTORS. Their menu needs a complete overhaul. It's difficult to read with all of the price changes and markouts. Too busy. THE GRUB The fish taco plate ($14.55 including tax & card payment fee) was okay. I was asked if I wanted onion and cilantro along with red or green salsa. Without the onion and cilantro, these four small street-style tacos would have been pathetic. The fish was not battered or left whole. Instead it was cooked much in the same way you would ground beef. The red salsa was very flavorful with a kick. The rice was plain - no veggies infused - and a very small amount was dished into my takeout box styrofoam. The pinto beans were okay. This plate also came with a canned soda of my choosing... Fanta Orange. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's meals were available. SERVICE Friendly. Helps if you speak Spanish otherwise there may be a slight language barrier when asking for recommendations. I was given a buzzer in case I wanted to sit in my vehicle, I assume, as it was a bit breezy and chilly. The food came out fast and hot. MY FAVORITE PART... Supporting my locals. I just wasn't crazy about these street tacos. Living in Los Angeles, CA, for the past 10 years spoiled me. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I did not like the fish chopped up. Aside from that, it had that "fishy" taste. Also, there is a 3.75% fee to use a debit/credit card that I was not made aware of. I didn't see a sign for this either. TIP I'll be trying their barbacoa whether it's beef or pork next time. read more

Food could be improved. 'My plate went untouched after my friends plate smelled like old spoiled chicken. My cilantro was yellow and I was turned off by all this we tossed it skipped dinner. But it was really good juices, drink was really great! read more

Honestly, 2/10 only because I was hungry. Ordered birria tacos and they were basically chicken tacos that were spray painted red. Had no cheese in them, sauce was watered down, and 5 small tacos aren't worth $15 (nice illusion though). Also, the tacos were spicy by themselves. read more

These tacos were ok. Was at an event and saw that they had set up for the day. I made my way on over and was surprised at all the selection of meats that they had. I decided to go with the #11. It consisted of four grilled chicken tacos, two sides, and a canned soda for $11. I then also ordered three steak tacos for a friend. I said yes to the cilantro and onion on all. For my sides I had decided I wanted rice and beans, since it was listed on the menu. Beans is what I said first and the girl said they didn't have any. Okay, so then I said I wanted rice and chips and she then tells me they have no rice. Ummmmm.. okay. The sides are kinda random and I didn't want whatever else they had. So I went with chips and avocado. They should maybe have a sign up stating that not all sides listed are available.. I waited about 20 minutes for my food to be ready. She bagged it up and called me up as it was ready for me to pick up. We sat down, got a bite in and the chicken was dry. I found myself pouring a ton of salsa on top. She gave me three different colored salsas and they were all hotttt. The steak tacos were ok. The sides were mixed up and my friend ended up getting the avocado I had ordered. (It was only a slice) I ended up receiving two sides of super salty af chips. The cashier wasn't friendly and I was about to walk away after I had stood in front of the ordering window and she hadn't acknowledged me. Paid $20 for four chicken tacos, three steak tacos, salty chips, a slice of avocado, and a canned soda. Kinda pricey if you ask me. read more

The best tacos in town and the restaurant is so cute and rock n roll I love it sm! If you like live music this place has it and the food is soooo good! If you like tripas theirs are the BESTTTT read more

I would like to tell you how the food was, but we never got any. We drove by and saw that the windows were open and the open sign was on, but after waiting about 10 to 12 minutes no one was inside the food truck and no one ever came. So we left. Too bad, the food has smells really good in the past as we have driven by and we were excited to try it. There was no sign saying they went to the bathroom... Nothing. read more

Disappointing all the way around, including the way the "manager's sister" aka floor manager MAKES YOU PAY FOR SHRIMP COCKTAIL THAT WAS BORDERLINE ROTTEN. My husband will eat anything, and never sends his food back!! But, he sent this back. We understand that things happen, that's not the issue. The issue is that a patron should not be made to pay for an item that would literally be flagged by the health department if tested! I guess a shrimp cocktail was worth losing customers, because we will never be back to Rock N Taco! Learning the hard way about how valuable good customer service is will certainly be costly for a new establishment. I have noticed several bad reviews on other sites, groups, and pages, but I don't always listen to bad reviews! This time I should have! Go spend your money somewhere that has good food and better customer service! I would bet they will appreciate the patronage, unlike Rock N Taco! Very sad, Hobos needed a good place to eat! read more

Very convenient and fast service. The tastes good and you get plenty of it. The meal was well prepared and packaged well. read more

Rock N' Taco - Tripas and steak - Food Trucks Near Me - Hobbs, New Mexico

I enjoyed my Chicken tacos and the side sauce that came with them. I love trying new places and small businesses in particular. The truck is a little pricier - higher than an indoors Mexican restaurant in my opinion. However, I still liked their set up because they had permanent picnic tables and benches outside. Also, the food felt more authentic than some of the others I've went to in town. My service was good as well. I intend to try some different items in the future. I wasn't feeling super adventurous the first time I went. read more

One of the best meals I have had. The Taco Adovada plate. The tacos were flavorful, not too greasy and not dry. The rice was fluffy and not overly flavored. I didn't get the chili on the side, so I don't know how that is, but I will be eating a Rock'N Taco again. I suggest you check it out if you can! It is well worth it. read more

I'm kinda picky about taco trucks. I love some; hate others. I found one I really, really like. Rock N' Taco, an unassuming truck parked just across the funeral home from Taqueria Jalisco--a highly rated Mexican restaurant in Hobbs. We were intending to eat at the Taqueira, but when we got there about 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon, the place was packed. While we were waiting for a table (there were several open, and a line waiting, and it seemed to be very disorganized, we walked through the loud and crowded floor to use the restrooms. I looked at what people had on their plates, and it looked very ordinary. It smelled very ordinary, and it occurred to me that the reviews I read were probably mostly written by Gringos. Gringos who think Taco Bell is a Mexican restaurant. Instead of staying and waiting for what we were sure would be another disappointing New Mexico Mexican meal, we left. So glad we did. True to its name, the truck was blaring Rock N' Roll music, and the menu contained several rock puns, like the "Limp Briskit" taco. I ordered the steak tacos alambre, cooked on the grill a la Philly cheesesteak with peppers and onions, and then tossed with melted jack cheese. My partner ordered the tacos barbacoa. Both orders were hand-made by the owner, Emilio, and his buddy. 4 tacos, double tortilla, with a grilled jalapeño and totopos. He got cilantro and onions on his. Mine only cilantro, as the onions were already there. I scarfed all four tacos and most of the chile--it was spicy!! Washed down with a Mexican coke and a Jarritos. Both meals and drinks came to just over $20, half what we'd have paid next door. The steak and barbacoa were very well seasoned, and served piping hot. I felt like I was at a little taco stand in Jalisco, and when Emilio came out to check on us and chat, I sensed real pride in his cooking and little shop. I would most definitely eat here again. Why not 5 stars? I reserve those for establishments with liquor licenses. ;) (Oh, and one of the songs that played during the meal was "Despacito," for the 10 millionth time) Eat at Rock n' Taco, you won't be disappointed. read more

The food is pretty good, but the people are rude and it takes FOREVER. Took over an hour to get 2 chicken alambre tacos and one brisket alambre. Then after 45 minutes of waiting I finally went up there and they said, oh we don't have any chicken." Once they handed me my food there was no thank you or sorry. Just handed it over and said nothing. Unbelievable. read more

Rock N' Taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Hobbs, New Mexico

Pricey for such small portions and mediocre food. The lady that was there was rude. She acted like we were bothering her by going up to the window (She was on her cellphone). Salsa lacked flavor, meats were dry, rice was bland and soggy. I had read good reviews but was very disappointed by this place. read more

First time going to Rockin Tacos. The service HORRIBLE!! The girl at the window was eating while we were waiting on our food which took 25 minutes to get. She was also playing with her hair. Our food was sitting in the window for at least 10 minutes and when I went up and asked about it she said it wasn't my order then started talking to the other girl and a few minutes later called my number saying it was my order. I knew it was my order because we were the only ones there when they started bagging it up. Very unprofessional. I will not be back read more
