    Medium horchatta
    Hart P.

    Mexican food in Chatanooga has broken away from the Americanized chains to authentic Mexican. Toco Roc is another welcome addition in this trend. They serve authentic Mexican comfort food. Well prepared. You can look at a menu or order off the pictures that are behind the counter. I saw the special tacos and ordered them (bacon added). There were many other options that I can have on another day. The horchata was not overly strong in the cinnamon flavor and good. With a salsa bar in the main part of the restaurant you can customize your meal to your tastes. Watch the pico de gallo, one has pepper added and one doesn't. There aren't any labels or scoville heat indications.

    Great authentic Mexican food! We got the taco platter as well as the tamale platter. The tamales were amazing with the right amount of spice and the tacos were delicious as well!

    Main dining area. Very simple!!!

    This place is Authentic Mexican which is a bit of a surprise in Chattanooga. (Although it is a College town..) The decor is very simple. Wooden tables: either booths or 2,4,6, 8 tops with pleather steel chairs. And it's Counter Service although they will deliver to your table. The chips are made with flour tortillas & are hot & lightly salted. They provide a small carafe of regular salsa with the chips which is okay but go to the salsa bar & try the others. They are much better IMHO. The Guacamole is off the charts fabulous! Creamy & chunky with a slight kick. They have an AWESOME salsa & condiment bar with 6 different fresh salsas: 3 Spicy & 3 Mild. They offer pico de gallo, fresh chopped white onion, & chopped parsley as well as pickled & grilled jalapeños! I ordered the Barbacoa pulled spiced beef & the Carnitas pulled pork soft corn tacos. Both were DELISH! They offer bottled beers as well as as Micheladas. Fountain Soft drinks, sweet & unsweetened tea & bottled soft drinks. All the staff were nice, friendly, polite, courteous & efficient. The dining area & bathrooms are clean. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Bean tacos with simple toppings - in this picture I've only added pico- so far!

    Most authentic Mexican food in Chattanooga that I've had. They have more variety than most Mexican restaurants. Delicious homemade tortillas and chips! Make sure you load up at the salsa bar - there are so many different kinds to try! I got 3 bean tacos, they were yummy and so filling I could only eat 2 of them. I'll be back!

    Fried tilapia with rice and beans!

    Agave and Rye was an absolute standout. The menu is packed with so many creative, over-the-top taco…read moreoptions that choosing just a few felt almost impossible in the best way. I ended up going with the taco flight and selected two Crown Jewel tacos -- the truffle mac and cheese with lobster -- along with one Island Banger, featuring coconut shrimp and mango salsa. Every single taco was phenomenal. The flavors were bold, layered, and genuinely exciting. What really sets them apart is their signature double-tortilla approach: a fried hard shell tucked inside a soft tortilla. It creates the perfect contrast of crunch and softness in every bite and holds up incredibly well to the generous fillings. Between the inventive combinations, fun menu, and the unbelievable execution, this was a top-tier taco experience from start to finish.

I can't speak to the other wait staff, but our guy clearly had other things on his mind. Every part of our visit took way longer than it should have. We were done about 30 minutes before we ever managed to get our checks and pay. So, I'd make sure to pay for a couple of hours of parking. I'm going to attribute all that to this particular waiter, and judge the place on its other merits. The person you get might be quick and attentive. All in all, this place wasn't my cup of tea, to be charitable. The decor was pretty over the top. Young adult is obviously their demographic. I'm 65, so take that into account. Taste, of course is an individual thing. Therefore, I'm giving the food about a 7, the ambiance a 2, and hope I'm never served by our waiter again .

The bathrooms are always clean, which I appreciate. Paid street parking is usually easy to find, though during busy hours it can take a little more time. The veggie fajitas are an absolute treat and full of flavor. The guacamole is fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the salsa is truly top notch. One of the most delightful surprises is that the churros are vegan, and they are unforgettable. The Papillón dish is especially meaningful. It can be made vegan and comes from the owner's grandmother's recipe in Guatemala. That personal touch really shines through and makes the menu feel inspired and unique. There used to be a young blonde male bartender who was hands down one of the best servers I have ever had. He was personable and somehow remembered both your order and your conversations even months later. That level of hospitality really stood out. Prices are not cheap, and the ingredients are not explicitly organic, but the quality, flavor, and thoughtful menu make it well worth it. Highly recommend if you are looking for consistently great food and a standout dining experience in Chattanooga.
