Hit up Rock Taco for a bite and was not disappointed. Started with the chips and salsa. All 3 salsas were very good. No complaints there. For tacos I tried the Rock & Rolla Coca-Cola Barbacoa and PBC. The Barbacoa taco was pretty good. Some parts of the Barbacoa were a little dry but not a bad taco overall. The PBC was excellent. Really flavorful and delicious. The service here is outstanding. Server made suggestions and provided fantastic service. Go get some tacos at Rock Taco. read more

My husband and I took our adult daughter to Rock Taco . It was delicious ! I had a taco salad and it was the best one I have ever eaten!! My Daughter and her Dad had fish tacos and braised beef tacos ! They said they were delicious!! Our waiter was very polite and helpful in an out questions about the menu! The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice as well! The manager came over and ask if we were okay and if we needed anything too! We will definitely return to Rock Taco! I would give them a FIVE on a scale of 1-5!! read more

Impressive selection of Tex-Mex in Rock Hill. My first time in for lunch on a Tuesday and I decided to go with their tacos. I had the Shrimp Al Pastor, Barbacoa and Carnitas all on flour tortilla. Each is topped with something different which gives in a unique spin. The Barbacoa with crispy onions and poblano cream was excellent. The Carnitas with tequila pickled onions, fried green tomato & salsa cotija. The Shrimp were marinated with Al pastor sauce, topped with pineapple serrano, pic o& cilantro. You won't get that at Taco Bell! I was really impressed with the Staff, the vibe and the dinning room. The main entrance fronts Main St but there is more than adequate parking in the rear where there is an entrance and during good weather a nice patio as well. The have quite a selection of top shelf Tequilas as you might imagine and a wide selection of domestic and imported Cerveza's. I'll def be returning to check out some of the interesting menu options. A great independetly owned and operated option in 'downtown' Rock Hill! read more

I'm giving this place 3 stars for the food because the food was average. The service was excellent though. They have wifi and I sat outside with my dog. I got the whitefish taco ($6). It was a very thin piece of perfectly fried fish on 2 paper thin corn tortillas and topped with a siracha-like sauce. I ordered the Poblano rice ($6) and Mexicorn ($7) to go with it for lunch. The tiny bowls made it difficult to eat without dumping some on the tray below. The price for these was excessive IMO. Flavor was OK. At least they had a decent women's restroom. There seemed to be a decent crowd for lunch. This was the first time I have ever eaten in downtown Rock Hill. The buildings are pretty. read more

Rock Taco - Salsa Flight - Tacos Near Me - Rock Hill, South Carolina

Rock Taco is not a typical taco joint. Rather, they put an interesting spin on traditional recipes. Some favorites are the Disco Chicken taco with Pollo asado, mole BBQ, chipotle crema, bacon, and lettuce. Then there's the Rock & Rolla Coca - Cola Barbacoa taco, featuring Coca-Cola braised beef, crispy onion, and poblano crema. Full bar service, including some regional draft craft beers and over 50 different tequila choices. The decor includes 70's rock and roll and colorful Mexican artwork. Service is always quick and friendly. Convenient location on Main St. in downtown Rock Hill with free parking behind the building. read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today. Owner/Host Jason and our sweet bartender/waitress (that I unfortunately forgot her name) were awesome. Outstanding customer service! My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Whitefish taco and RRCC Barbacoa taco. I had the Sound Guy Sammie. Wow! It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The fresh baked bolillo roll was delicious. And the Coca-cola braised beef, tequila pickled onions, applewood smoked bacon, crispy cheese, guacamole, Duke's mayo, and iceberg...insert chef kiss here. And it was so big, I get to eat the second half for supper. Winner-winner. Highly recommend Rock Taco. And if you can't make it to their location, you can always have your order delivered by DoorDash. We will be back. read more

Rock Taco - The 'Sound Guy Sammie' - Tacos Near Me - Rock Hill, South Carolina

We checked out this spanking, new restaurant in Downtown Rock Hill for lunch... The place had an impressive, lofty space with high ceilings (2 floors?), with a striking decor, a mix of "Day of the Dead" skull and rock star-rock music motif...complete with an eclectic mix of rock music. The booth seatings were very comfy as well. The ambiance was great...but, I didn't like that the place had more of this sports bar vibe, with its numerous TV screens, featuring sports. I also thought these TV screens (think 9 total??) somewhat ruined the awesome Mexi-Rock decor. Still, if you're a sports fan (which I'm not!), you'll probably love it. I guess ultimately, it had this super-busy Mexi-Rock-Sports decor. In my book, kind of a shame. If it didn't have so many sports TV's, I probably would have loved it...but I just ended up kind of liking it. Now, the menu! Very interesting...in that it had this mix of Mexican (tacos, nachos, etc.etc.) favorites, as well as a few fancy Mexi specialties, as well as some Southern American specialties, like Fried Chicken and Fish 'n Grits. Think they even had Po-Boy? So basically, they had this Mexi-American fusion menu. One weird thing. They didn't automatically bring you salsa...you had to ask for it. Not sure if there was a charge for it? Luckily, the Manager (?) was nice enough stop by the table, and that's when we asked for this Salsa...halfway through our meal. This lack of Nachos and Salsa right off the bat told me right away that this was fusion...not full-on Mexican. If you prefer authentic Mexican, you may not like this. However, I didn't mind it at all...if anything, welcomed this fun fusion mix! They had an interesting variety of tacos, so I went that route. I chose this "Rock & Rolla Coca - Cola Barbacoa" taco, and also this "Big - Shrimpin' Al Pastor" taco...and both were really good. I preferred the "Rock & Rolla" taco...with a substantial amount of braised beef, surprisingly so! I also Poblano Rice, which was good as well. Plus, we shared this delicious Main St. Corn Dip (think that's what it was?)...added this to the tacos instead of nachos (SO good)! The presentation of the foods were good, but placed in these casual tin trays (the same ones used at places like Seoul Meat Co). I always thought that kind of cheapened the look of the foods...but that's just me. Still, the foods were solid. Service by the waiter was good too...fast and friendly! Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch here...and thought the place was a great, new addition to Rock Hill. I even thought these were the best tacos I've had in Rock Hill...and looking forward to trying more items from their fun menu. I know it's just a personal, subjective thing...but I'm not a fan of such masculine sports bar vibe, so that's where it lost a star for me. read more

Oh tacos how much I love thee! On my never ending quest for interesting and fun places to try I cruised by this place several times during my drive from site to site. So today I drive by at lunchtime and went in unbiased as I always do and heavily scrutinizing anything with the "Taco" name. I was lucky enough to hit this place before the 12pm lunch rush and was able to really take it in. I was greeted promptly by Clay the bartender, which automatically made me sit there because he made me feel welcome. The atmosphere was awesome. Lots of día de los muertos masks, lots and lots of colors and a massive portrait of Jim Morrison. The menu made it very easy to make decisions on my tacos. I had the Rock & Rola Cola Carnitas that's sauce was Insanely good and the meat was well seasoned and the "PBC" pork belly tacos on corn tortillas the tequila pickled red onions were perfect to balance with the pork belly! Definitely can taste the freshness of ingredients here! Overall this place is a gem! I will 100% be back for dinner next time! read more

I ate at ROCK TACO in Rock Hill with friends for dinner. Great atmosphere, friendly and "on point" customer service. Quality and presentation of the food is tasty and freshly made. Their side Rice and Queso was very good. Our lovely n beautiful waitress named, Katie was very kind, courteous, friendly, and recommended us good choices off the menu, and very at tentative to our needs and requests. The staff even offered us a free sample shot of Tequila which complimented my tacos that i ordered: Taco (1): Hard Rockin White Fish Taco (2): Big Shrimpin Al Pastor Taco (3): Luna Tuna Tacofish Side of lightly seasoned rice. Appetizers: Yo Queso. One thing i do need to try is there delicious Shrimp N Grits on my next visit: rock taco.com and be sure to Follow them on Facebook and Instagram . They also cater to live bands that they some times feature on Friday nights. *Musician Matt Walsh will be appearing there around 7pm for his 1 year anniversary, very cool . In all, I felt nothing but good vibes; has a nice tex-mex-California feel, and the bar area is very cozy and inviting, with lots of TVs and Artistic art posters, neon lights, and celebrity paintings, and sketches of familiar musicians, very nice, and ideal for family, great spot for first dates, and/ or to just bring your best buddies/gals and just have a great time. Very clean, and Social, thank you for the pleasant experience ROCK TACO. I give you 7.5 s out of 10. For Rock Hill area, it's very good street style tacos, you wont be disappointed . read more

Went for the hubby's bday dinner. Absolutely love the vibe they are giving. Greeted as soon as we walked through the door. Sat in a booth as soon as we told them the party number. Severe was at our table not even a minute later to introduce herself and take our drink orders. Service was great. From the person who welcomed us in, our server who was quick, attentive and friendly to the food runners and the rest of the staff. I've heard and read some very mixed reviews about Rock Taco but I am here to tell you, they were having an amazing day because the food was on point. Everything we ordered was flavorful. Nothing was over powering and nothing was lacking. Honestly, one of the best queso dips I have ever had. Salsa was good but even better when I mixed it with the queso. Hubby had the pork belly carnitas and Funky Fresh Fish N' Grits. He loved every bite. Of course, I had to get a bite. Grits are made to perfection. Not thick and lumpy, not runny and watery. Perfect. Baby girl had the Dirty Bird and the chicken was cooked just right and the flavor was explosive. Main St. Corn Dip-I added some hot cause and so good. No ingredient over powered the other. Yall don't sleep on this local gem. read more

We were in downtown Rock Hill and wanted a quick but good meal. So we went down to Rock Taco and sat outside with our pup with one of tables out front and they were clean. Had some yummy margaritas and chips and dip. Then we both got some tacos of course. Our waitress was great at giving recommendations. We will be back for sure!!! read more

Most of the food was very good and service was very attentive. Our group of friends was here a year ago and were't that satisfied, this time the experience was noticeably better. Queso, corn dip, salsa and chips were all great. The jam session ensalata and dirty bird were delicious. The only critique from the crowd was that the pork belly taco wasn't what folks were expecting as it was shredded and a little dry to them. read more

Another nice looking restaurant with sub par Mexican food. Came into the place and was greeted and seated right away, the server came over and when asked what he would recommend, he proceeded to name just about everything on the menu. We ordered drinks, a strawberry margarita and a Paloma, both drinks pretty good but the margarita was very very sweet. Next came the appetizer, we ordered the empeñada, which tasted ok but outside was a little dry and not crunchy and the inside was taken over by cheese. Next the entre, I ordered the pork belly nachos and my wife ordered 2 of the tacos, chorizo and carnitas. First the tacos, both were stuffed to the max which is normally a good thing, however they left so much to be desired, they were boring and lacking any Mexican flavor. The nachos were on the other end of the flavor pool, there was not one distinct flavor because there were so many. In a dish that should let the pork do the heavy lifting, you are bombarded by a flavored sour cream and a flavored onion along with a house cheese that solidified in the middle making it impossible to eat. It's like they used tangy flavors in place of spice and it does not work. The best tasting item at this taco place was the fried chicken my son had, no joke it was very good. Can't say we will be back here but I never want to go out after one visit. read more

Rock Taco has recently opened in the historic downtown Rock Hill district. We arrived on a Friday afternoon to find the restaurant already quickly filling with customers. From the owner of Burgers and Barley it's evident this restaurant will be a terrific addition to the local food scene. Having lived for several years near Houston, TX I've been admittedly reluctant to write reviews of Charlotte-area Tex-Mex fare.* That stated, Rock Tacos does a very good job of serving "street" dishes with delicious Margaritas. The restaurant itself is an eye-catcher, lots of vibrant colors. There's ample dine-in seating, but we chose to order take-out from the bar and have a drink with some chips while we waited. Even though the restaurant was hopping, our service was helpful and attentive. There were many positives regarding our meal. First, the margaritas were strong and flavorful. The drink menu offers numerous varieties. I'd recommend visiting here just to try a couple. In addition we ordered chips with salsa and guacamole and both were restaurant-made and delicious. Our take-out order was ready quickly, we ordered a broad sampling of their street tacos and sides. I highly recommend the pork belly and chicken tacos with flour tortillas. However, I do have some polite suggestions for improvements. My wife ordered her tacos with corn tortillas which quickly fell apart when she picked them up. I'm used to corn tortillas being "doubled-up" to prevent this from happening. Also, the small straight-edged bowls for the salsa and guacamole made it somewhat difficult for scooping with chips. I suggest using bowls with rounded-edges to make for easier chip access. Finally, our tacos were delivered to us in large plastic containers. That's fine, but it made for a bulky carry-out to our car. Why not simply wrap the tacos in foil and/or paper and put them in a lunch bag? (Not only more convenient to handle but less costly.) We had a great experience at a restaurant that's only been open for a week. Thank you very much. We look forward to returning! *I find it challenging rating particular cuisines when I've lived in the region where they are featured. Case in point, at least half of the restaurants in the Houston area are Tex-Mex or Mexican. Regardless of their price-range or specialty there are certain services provided as a routine there that are very difficult to find elsewhere (at least, outside of the Southwest US or Mexico). I find myself craving fresh, restaurant-made tortillas, salsa (served free) with fresh chips, grilled marinated fajitas served on sizzling platters, and delicious mole sauces. I'm trying hard to be fair to Tex-Mex restaurants in Charlotte because such services and meals can be very difficult and expensive to replicate here. Overall, Charlotte is a great area to live and we're enjoying it very much here! read more

We are looking forward to our next visit, I want to try other dishes but that fish and grits...... read more

I'd rate Rock Taco a 3.5-4 stars. Very cool environment & ambiance with unique and talented artwork, unique vibe especially for Rock Hill! Has an upstairs area as well with its own bar. The drinks are great. Strong and tasty! The food was also pretty tasty. My complaints and why Rock Taco is not getting a 5 star rating from me lies with the food and the cost. The queso was $10... it wasn't a ton of queso either. The tacos came out pretty cold which is unfortunate. The Coca-Cola beef taco was soooo tasty but cold. The disco chicken taco was also really tasty but the bacon bits were so hard that it almost hurt to eat. For 4 drinks (2 margaritas and 2 glasses of wine), 4 tacos, queso & a tip ended up being over $100.. read more

We tried Rock Taco for lunch today. This is a great place. The theming inside is really cool, a mixture of rock, day of the dead and Star Wars. There was something interesting to see everywhere you looked. We were greeted warmly and sat quickly. Our waitress, Ally, was very nice and made an excellent suggestion on the salsa for the chips and salsa we got before our meals. She also answered our questions about the size of the tacos and the different types of tortillas used. She knows her stuff! I had the tuna taco and shrimp taco on corn tortillas (which they double up as corn has a tendency to sometimes break). The tuna taco was good, it had a blacked seasoning on it that I may have dialed back a bit but that would be my only critique. The shrimp was amazing! My husband had the barbaco and chorizo (also on corn) and he definitely enjoyed them. He used the chips we had to scoop up what was left on his plate! I'd definitely want to come back for an evening meal to see this place at night and it's also juuuust close enough where we can do take-out. If you are in the mood for tacos and Rock Taco was on your list of places to try, do it! read more

This restaurant is great! Such a fresh new menu and environment for rock hill! The decor inside is beautiful and vibrant, as is the view from the second floor bar, which has giant windows that overlook Main Street. The flavors are great and you can tell everything is made in house. We had the birria empanadas and the rock tail ( an fun take on shrimp cocktail) and my daughter loved the queso and quesadilla!! She also thought the poblano rice was a hit!! The margaritas were so fresh, you can tell they use real fruit in the mix! Our server was attentive and kind. The rest of the staff were also so helpful with clearing any plates and running our drinks and food to make sure it all came out perfect. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

New spot from the owner of burgers and barley. Been waiting a while for this and it didn't disappoint. Staff is just as great, lots of members from B&B were here. The appetizers were amazing. We had the corn dip and empanadas which was the best of them all. So flavorful. We also tried the queso dip and shrimp rocktail. These were so so. Queso was good but very small portion. For main I had tacos. I had the disco chicken, barbacoa, and chorizo all on corn tortillas. The chorizo taco was incredible, great depth of flavor with the sweet potatoes. The other two were just solid. Not the greatest but still good. Will come again for sure! read more

Food was great and service as well. I had the fish and grits and it was delicious. My husband has the barbecue chicken really good too.

We went for a belated Valentines Day dinner. We got there around 7:15pm on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was busy but because of the layout it did not feel crowded. We started off with chips and pico. Chips were warm and delicious. Pico was fresh. I had the chorizo fllautas. Highly recommend! The local chorizo was amazing! Hearty portions (I took a flauta home). My husband had the We Rock Taco Salad-he added shrimp). He loved it and will be ordering it again on our next visit. Service was excellent! We both ordered 12-string margaritas ( I asked if they could make mine a skinny and they did). Delicious! Well worth the price for the drinks( we paid $64 for 2 margs each). Highly recommend! A great first-time experience. We will be back! read more

My wife, adult daughter, 3 year old granddaughter, and I had an early dinner tonight at Rock Taco between 5:30 & 6:15. Michael took our order and could not have been more helpful and professional. His timing was perfect. He seated us promptly, took out drink order, brought our beverages, then took our food order. My wife had the grilled whitefish taco, my vegetarian daughter had the Roasted Cauliflower taco, and I had the Fish 'N Grits. My granddaughter had chips & queso, and a cheese quesadilla with a small black bean side. Being 69, and spending my childhood and adult life in coastal Georgia, I've had my share of seafood. Instead of going on and on about how good their food is, all I'll tell you is if I was on death row I'd want my last meal to be Rock Taco's Fish'N Grits. I didn't taste my picky, lite-eating, Wife & Daughter's tacos but they didn't leave a crumb. Kudos to whomever does the hiring of the staff (especially Michael) and the cooking crew. You really know what you're doing... it shows! I cant wait for breakfast tomorrow because I'm having my Rock Tacos leftovers... read more

i really liked the surroundings and the food looked very appealing but once i tried it it was bland.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary with our toddler (edited to add: no visible children's menu & no changing table in the bathroom!). I really wasn't overly impressed. Unfortunately, our waiter was super slow and it took 15-20 minutes just for our drinks to come out. People seated after us already had their drinks and apps. 30 seconds after our drinks come, the food arrived so it was just weird timing. I ordered the chorizo taco and found it very salty. My husband got the pork al pastor. He had to specifically ask for it to be pork instead of the shrimp al pastor which is on the menu. He found that taco delicious, so glad that worked out. We also ordered guacamole and chips for the table. The guacamole had too much lime juice, so wasn't seasoned how we like it. When the food runner delivered our food, I ordered from her the rock taco salad with chicken. The manager ended up serving us the salad and helped our server who needed assistance. Looks like good team work but if I never said anything, it was unlikely the team was going to help. The salad came with a spicy jalapeño ranch dressing and it definitely is spicy! I don't think the average American would find that flavor appealing. The salad was obviously flavorful from the dressing, just heavy on the onions. I think the prices are high for the quality of food and service. read more
