I was first introduced to Rocy's in Shafter about 2006 by a co-worker. It was in the old 5 points location at that time. I was impressed by the asada tacos and even more impressed with the price. After that first visit I would stop whenever I was in the Shafter area. Then they moved to the new location and I wasn't around much anymore. Now, my wife who is from Shafter, and I are eating at Rocy's again. The asada tacos with rice and beans is our favorite with good size portions. We can barely eat it all.! The guacamole is put on the tacos first before the meat and is the best we've ever had anywhere. We always call our order in and it's ready to go by the time we get there. It's not a flashy place but flashy doesn't mean good! We try to place an order at least once a week because they are friendly, consistent good food and convenient. Be prepared, cash only but it's well worth that inconvenience. read more

Visiting from Arizona and googled best restaurants and this did not disappoint! Food was fresh, amazing proportions, and worth the money! Service was friendly and fast! GUACAMOLE WAS SO GOOD AS WELL AS THE FRESH CORN TORTILLAS. read more

Just remember, CASH ONLY. Friends and I have been making the driving trip down here for years! For a while. this was our go to spot for Mexican food if we didn't want to drive to the East side. I can't even remember the day we found this place, probably lunch after the DMV. It's honestly a tradition for us now to come down here whenever someone is visiting. Favorite thing the order here is there lengua can cabeza. They make it slightly crispy on the edges and it gives a great texture. We also get their carne asada fries! I also really love the tortillas they use! Everything is just well seasoned and cooked crispy! We may not always come here as much as we used to, but I will always have a soft spot for this place. read more

Rocy's Mexican Food - a variety of tacoss - Mexican Near Me - Shafter, California

Foods really good but for the past few years the restaurant smells strongly of backed up sewer. If you use their restroom it's like being punched in the face with a turd. They really need to do something about it. Because the food is delicious. read more

I'm very picky and love to cook so I don't really eat out. I was driving back home from working in Bakersfield and was hungry. I was hesitant to come bc of the mixed reviews but I'm so glad I did. The tacos are freaking amazing! As if I was in Mexico!I ordered 2 lengua tacos large and they came with lots of meat and guacamole inside of them. I love guacamole. They are very very filling! I could've been fine with one taco. read more

The nachos are so good and big enough to share. We will defiantly be back for more! My family all enjoyed their meals.

We were staying in Willowbutton on July 4th on our way back to AZ. Nothing but fast food was open and we were hoping to try something local. Searched local and found Rocy's in the nearby town of Shafter and both my husband and daughter and I felt it was the best local Mexican we've had. And we live near Phoenix. Take the drive out to the country town. It's worth it. I had Carne Asada Quesadilla, my hubs had the Carnitas plate, and my daughter had asada tacos. The guacamole was light and fresh, the meat perfectly seasoned and the right amount of char. The refried beans... lovely. Huge portions and the only drawbacks are that they are cash only and they don't serve alcohol. But go of your way and eat here. Sooo gooood! read more

Rocy's Mexican Food - Carnitas combo - Mexican Near Me - Shafter, California

The food is alright but this is a cash only business. If they start accepting NFC payments then I'll likely be back but until then this place just isn't worth my time. read more

It's my favorite in Shafter, the guacamole is included in every order. It's a little hidden but it's worth looking for.

Es uno de los restaurantes recomendados los tacos el aguacate la tortilla es un taco con el sabor a mexico.Disponible todos los dias.

I can only speak about their tacos because I happened to stop by here to grab two on a whim. Their cabeza and lengua were really really good. They have two sizes of taco you can choose from: a small (1.69) or large (2.69) and I opted for the small since it's the usual size that come from taco trucks. This place put the guac, salsa and onions first on the warm tortilla, then piles on the meat- and trust me when I say that it's a good portion for your buck. You also get to decide from green and red sauce to put on top and then just squeeze the lemon that it comes with on your tacos and BAM you're set. The two tacos I ordered filled me up, but it was also early in the day so I didn't have much appetite. This place is one of the better ones in the area since there's not much selection to choose from, but it is a cash only joint so make sure you have that handy. read more

Hello Shafter, how have we not talked about Rocys!? The tacos are delicious! Tried the pastor, cabeza, carnitas, and lengua. They use guacamole in their tacos. Which is a great touch. Of the four different meats we tried, the lengua was by far my favorite, not knocking on the others though, they were all very good. The lengua was just cooked perfectly. Also ordered a pastor burrito, it was a hefty thing. Would definitely recommend it. We came in when the store was empty. The staff was super friendly. The cashier extremely helpful in explaining each type of meat to my friend. The only down side is, it is a *CASH ONLY* establishment. If you don't have cash, you'll have to go next door. Other than that, I'll definitely be back again! They also have a location in Wasco! read more

Before you try this place make sure you have cash on you because they don't accept credit/debit cards. I give this place a 5 star! They have the best carne asada burritos & the cheese carne asada quesadillas too! read more

The food was great, had asada fries and some Tacos. They really pack that meat on there. I'm excited to get more. read more

Carne asada and chicken are really good whether you get a burrito,torta or even tacos. Do forget to try the nachos. Bomb read more

Flavor was good, ordered Chile verde burrito. 70% beans very little meat. Might go back and give it one more chance.

CASH ONLY! That aside, this little hole in the wall is where it's at! Yummy tacos with filling meats. Ordered my usual taco trio of chicken, carnitas, and al pastor. The chicken taco came with shredded cheddar cheese on top, which was a little unexpected but still pretty good. The carnitas were crispy on the exterior and moist and flavorful on the interior; just the way good carnitas should be! The al pastor was decent, a little sweet and definitely juicy with overall great flavor. They give you two bottles of salsa: green and red. They pack a nice little kick, which accented the food perfectly. Definitely try the Pina! Way better than Huichos in that it's slightly sweet, a little tart, and not watered down. Prices are a bit higher than your standard taco truck, but that's ok since Shafter doesn't seem to have a lot of options anyways. Interior is definitely dated; seats tipped, carpet stained. What was a little off putting was the intense smell of Lavender Fabuloso. Not something I want with my tacos. read more

I am from out of town. Pa to be exact. I married a Mexican and fell in love with the Mexican culture and the food. This place represents that to the fullest. The tacos are incredible (I've tried every one), my wife loved the nachos as well and the quesadillas are something special. I highly recommend this place. DO NOT be turned away from the outside appearance. The kitchen is clean, the workers are friendly & the food is 100% authentic goodness. Do yourself a favor and eat here often read more

The worker who handled our food had really long acrylic nails on.... maybe wear gloves or require them to have short nails.

Oh my goodness. I love this place. Not only is the service great and the food good, but they also have a really good veggie burrito. It's become a bit of a challenge to find veggie options to eat at. Meat seems to be pretty popular and vegetarian restaurants are just not as plentiful as in Los Angeles. Sure, I can always have a salad, but sometimes I want more. Rocy's is great food, great prices, and they are very friendly. If I am going to go somewhere for lunch, this is definitely my go to place. very good. read more

**Warning cash only** The best Mexican food in Shafter so far in my opinion. We came across this place on accident just driving down the street one day looking for something else. My wife ordered the shredded tacos with rice and beans plate while I chose the chili verde plate. We also got an order of guacamole with chips and 2 sodas, the price came out to around $24. The guacamole was fresh and I liked they didn't load red onions into it like a lot of places do. The one major thing I did not like about this place was that the menu has no prices, you order and find out the price after, they also accept only cash so come prepared, we drove to the gas station to use an ATM. Not my favorite Mexican restaurant by far but has at least made my list for a round 2. read more

Absolutely amazing food!!! I've been a Rocys customer since I was a child before the name & location changed. The food has remained to this day authentic & delicious. I will always rave about how great the food here is! read more

I have eaten here several times. I had Menudo on two occasions. tacos and burritos on different occasions. The quality of food was very good and the service was good. read more

Great services. Just wish they take credit cards. And carneasda fries are a must try. Food is great

Decided to go there since it's close by to where I live. The service isn't great, the place looks as if it's not taken care of. The meat was SALTY and it too a very long time for just my order to be ready. Won't go there again. read more

Good food done right. The price is right and the quality is high. A friendly staff completes the experience. This will be my go-to mexican food while I'm in town. read more

never been to the shafter lovation but the wasco one is always good! every other little mexican spot acts like guacamole is gold and charges you like it is. rocys piles it on and for a GOOD price! i love this place. the BEST taquitos bar none!!! they are filled with shredded beef and beef only. no cheese or any other filling. the staff are polite. rocys is a cash only establishment, if that is the reason the prices are so low, i think its worth it. read more

Rocy's never disappoints. Carne asada is amazing, hands down among the best I've ever had. Seasoned perfectly, cooked when you order. Everything is fresh. Guacamole is perfect. The large tacos come on yellow corn tortillas, something I don't see too often. I've also tried the torta which was also great. You might look at this place and think it's kind of a dump... you're right the appearance isn't the best, but the food is amazing and totally worth the slightly higher prices than similar places. Note that it's cash only! read more

Super amazing tasting tacos! Give this 2 thumbs up. I got tacos de cabeza and they were delicious. Definitely coming back next time I'm in shafter. read more

Wow. I live SW Bakersfield. I will drive to Shafter to eat at Rosy's! The food there has always been amazing. I'm not an expert on Mexican Cuisine...I'm still pretty new to it. But Everything I've had was really good. It always puts a smile on my face. The location is a little run down, but It doesn't stop me from going in for a bite to eat. read more

Honestly this is my favorite mexican restaurants, I still drive all the way to Shafter just to get one of their burritos. I always get my burrito no rice no beans just Carne asada and guacamole. I remember when the first rocys burnt down I almost cried. read more

Great food. No prices on the menu which is odd. Consistent. Way better than la Fonda .

It was really good. Good burrito for a good price and the tacos I enjoy as well it would of been a lot more delicious if the tortillas where hand made my opinion I recommend to eat here and also need to upgrade their salsas read more

the food is so so good at rocy's!! I always go in for some carne asada tacos. they are not your typical street tacos. they use a yellow tortilla and the only thing they throw on there besides the carne asada is guacamole. they are not stingy with their meat. their horchata is pretty good as well. the place itself could use some MAJOR renovations.... read more

Great affordable Mexican food. If you want something totally awesome get the carne Asada nachos covered with enchilada sauce.

Fresh authentic Mexican food. Found this place on my lunch break and glad I did. :) ***Cash only****

I tried the torta. It was awesome and asada was good. Only thing it needed was crema and beans but im sure I could have paid for the crema. The lengua here is really really good. In taco form.....like it is actually cooked, not old tasting, not over salted or seasoned to hide the oldness. Place is dated and ac could be more powerful bit friendly and cheap. Tabkes were clean. You can smell the fabuloso (a scent I hate but at least it cleans) read more
