What an experience. Came in with a large group. We got an assortment of tacos and nachos. I was so hungry I ate my food before I could take pictures. I appreciate the many options on tacos. And the salsa bar hits. Also, it's been a while since I've had someone have really great pineapple water. The only challenge was the online ordering doesn't match the menu on website. So it was a little of a letdown when we couldn't order some of the tacos we saw on the menu. But food was still excellent and the staff were helping us with our order. I'd say there up there with Taco Bomba on quality of tacos. I'm excited to come back and try many more! read more

Move all the way aside, bartaco, Taco Rock is far superior. The corn on the cob was probably the most amazing I've ever had, periodt! I was halfway done before my friend's order was ready. I ordered a second one and devoured that as well. Perfect combo of spice, sauce, cheese, and corn. The tacos (one cauliflower, one avocado) fell apart because that's what corn shells do. These were fresh and delicious and highly flavorful! The margarita was $6 and a steal. Great experience overall and highly recommended. It does get super loud inside, the bar isn't that large, there were hoards of obnoxious mosquitos in the dining room, and the ordering process wasn't intuitive. But all of these are minor things that are unlikely to interfere with your experience. Prices were extremely reasonable for the portions and happy hour runs through 7 PM. The location is 2 blocks from Rosslyn Metro. What's stopping you? Go! read more

There's always a caveat with takeout orders, but tacos are usually pretty safe and these did fine: 1) carne asada - 3/5. Mid. 2) grouper taco - 4/5. Glad they have a fish taco on the menu! So many places don't offer it. 3) surf & turf - 3/5. Liked the shrimp, wish I just got shrimp. 4) puffy beef - 4/5. Liked the crispy shell and flavor of the ground meat. These are all pretty big tacos. Not the little ones I'm used to in Seattle so it's pretty hearty. Would return if back in the area. read more

Huge portion. Rice is extremely soft and well made. Meat is high quality and I loved it. Very tasty!! read more

Taco Rock is always great. The male bartender was really good and funny. He made my visit a great one. Definitely would put a smile on your face no matter what. Food was delicious. Rice was a little overcooked but I made it work. I would be back. Food is always on point. The bar usually gets full during happy hour. But plenty of space in their dining area. read more

Came to watch a FIFA game and was disappointed that the TVs were small and didn't have sound. Despite my overall aversion to places that force you to order using a QR code and pay in full before anything comes out, the food was really good and reasonably priced. The horchata wasn't amazing but the fried plantains were. Everything came out pretty fast too. Would definitely be back. read more

Ordered Taco Rock on my lunch break because I was too lazy to pack lunch. The horchata was good, but overall... I could've kept my mula . The flautas were just okay, a bit soggy with the cheese and pico, which took away from the texture. On the brighter side, the chips and queso were pretty decent. I might give it another try and order something different, but for now, I may just stick to bringing my own lunch. read more

Taco Rock - $10 during happy hour - Tacos Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

First time in, walked in and didn't know if we should be seated or order at the counter. Bar tender was pretty curt with us. There was only 2 other people in the place eating. We struggled with ordering at the kiosks, what was on the menu was not in the kiosk nor offered and the credit card machine was on the fritz. No one offered help or cared. Food was ok. read more

The food here today was really tasty. I had the puffy taco and my daughter had the Beria taco. We also had chips and queso which I thought was good. I did really like the different salsa as well. The service was quick and they got us our food out quickly. The Agua Fresca was delicious. I tried all three of them. My favorite was the mango but pineapple and the lemonade one was good as well. It had a cool vibe to the place playing 90s like music and having music videos to look at. The place was clean and I appreciate that. read more

Taco Rock has become my absolute favorite spot to grab tacos for lunch near work. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious--no matter what I order, it never disappoints. The service is great too; the staff is friendly, quick, and keeps things moving even during the busy lunch rush. read more

Okay, so I think people here like the birria tacos, and those we had were pretty good. In general, I would say that tacos al pastor are as the kids say "mid" at best. The tortillas are cool, with the blue corn tortillas, but don't hold well together and tare pretty easily. The carne asada tasted similar to ground beef. This place wasn't our fav, but it still might be yours. read more

Absolutely..... BEEEEELLCH delicious. I'm not one to enjoy a shredded beef in Mexican, but that huge crispy burrito is absolutely delicious. The consome sauce is superb. The Mexican fried rice is even delicious and worth the add on. read more

Tacos were "ok"...not the best I've had. Fried Rice was very good Yellow rice was dry. Elotes would have been very good but it was burnt. Drinks were good! Service was subpar. Good spot just to grab something quick with friends. read more

It is certainly not the most authentic place if that's what you're looking for, but frankly in all the times I've ordered I've never been disappointed in the food. The only item I don't like is their chips -- they try to do a riff on some puffed up chip and it's not great. Otherwise, the tacos and street corn in particular are consistently delicious. read more

So good!! I placed an order online for pickup and it was ready within 5 minutes. I got the carne asada taco, chicken taco, and the chicken & steak taco. All so flavorful and tender meat! Steak was my favorite. There's seating inside too but I took mine to go. Def would go back ! read more

A great spot in Rosslyn! The tacos and other food are excellent and come in large portions. The jalapeño poppers had the largest jalapeños I have ever seen.

Update to my recent experience with a large catering order for teacher appreciation ! I worked with their event coordinator Maggie who was so diligent, friendly and helpful ! She truly worked magic and then come time to get the food it was a great experience with amazingly delicious food for all the teachers !! We ordered the salmon tacos, birria tacos and chicken tacos as well as a tray of chips and churros. Everything was beautifully presented and of course tasted of perfection read more

I've visited taco rock a few times now and it was just as good as the first. It's located close to the Rosslyn metro station and easy to get to on foot. I came for lunch with coworkers most recently. Service is straight forward, you order at the counter or the bar and then given a buzzer to pickup your food from the counter once you get buzzed. Space is good, they have both bar seating and seats by booths or stand alone chairs. They have common staples as well as specialty tacos. I ordered the carne asada, jerk chicken, and double duce. All of which were delicious. A coworker got some Mexican style corn on the cobb which looked pretty good. All in all good things from this read more

Stopped by on a Saturday with my wife and daughter. We ordered at the kiosk as no one really takes your order. The prices are pretty good for the portion size you get. The food came out hot and ready. Overall it's a cool spot. There is nothing really amazing. The food could use more flavor to me. The soup is HUGE and comes with multiple things inside from corn, to meat, noodles, etc. If I'm in the area I'd stop by if I had a taco craving. read more

Truthfully I'm not a fan of Mexican food, but these tacos were amazing. The carne asada was my personal favorite but they have a lot of fun tacos too like the California club as well as an amazing birria taco. Queso was great and the Spanish rice was to die for, different then any others I have. This place makes Mexican food a favorite to me now. Casual place to eat, order at the front and pick it up makes it great for an anytime meal. Pro tip- they also have amazing strawberry watermelon juice read more

I was sadly disappointed by choosing this spot, it's not it....social media definitely pumped this spot up for nothing. Food was about a 5 out of 10. I had ordered the nachos and added chicken on top, not bad. I was more disappointed about my street corn being overly salty that I had to return. I replaced with the Mexican rice and that too was disappointing. Maybe I chose the wrong items to try. But be aware, sitting is pretty limited. Sadly I watched so many families walk in after us and had to turn around. So definitely keep that in mind if planning to go on a Saturday night as we did. Also, Taco Rock is self served....you place your order at counter then given a buzzer to alert you when your order is ready. If you want to order drinks, you have are to place order at bar area. I personally didn't try any drinks because the spot was already crowded enough to try to make my way over to bar area. read more

Not sure why I decided to order ramen at a taco place but a friend recommended it so I thought I'll give it a try. I wouldn't call it "ramen"... it's more like spicy beef "noodle" soup and it turned out better than I expected! The noodles were a bit overcooked but the beef was quite tasty and tender. Could use a bit less salt and it'll be way better! Generous portion. read more

I absolutely love Taco Rock! I've been to their Alexandria location a handful of times but checked out the Roslyn location today. Drinks and food are always great! Love their HH food at the bar, and $6 margs are a classic! Bartenders are nice and the atmosphere is a vibe at both locations. read more

I did a takeout order for 3 tacos. Lobster taco was supreme. Nice and full it was pricey but so good. The rockfish taco was nice and crunchy and tasty. Lastly the carne asada was good as well overall my tacos was a 10/10. Food was ready quick. The place was cute and clean. Nice lighting and for a Thursday night busy most people were doing take out though. I would definitely suggest this place to friends read more

Weird rock'n'roll-themed taco place with more bar vibes than restaurant vibes and a massive 4-screen wall showing non-stop (mostly 90s) music videos. Came here after seeing a family theater show at the Kennedy center. It was a bit of a weird pick for 5 adults and 4 kids under the age of 10, but it mostly worked. The tacos were good, small and simple in a classic street-tacos way. I had the blackened salmon, grouper and ahi tuna. The salmon was better than the other two and none of them really knocked my socks off. We had two people with significant allergies and it was somewhat hard to make that happen. You do all your ordering through an iPad app and finding somebody to talk to wasn't as easy as I'd wish. After talking about seafood and peanut allergies, we basically landed on chicken tortilla soup and nachos being the only things that worked. The nachos were enormous and (in line with the rest of the food) did a good job of being yummy, but more bar food than anything else. read more

I love this taco spot. So, the service here is always amazing. I love the bartenders, the line cooks and the servers. They always greet you and ensure that you're well taking care of. I enjoy coming inside of here because it's always clean. They have outdoor seating during the spring and summer seasons. It's always clean in here. So, for the food it never misses! The tacos are always freshly made, the rice is delicious, the chips and dip amazing! I can eat here everyday seriously! They have music playing and just great vibes. read more

Ambiance: (5/5) Really liked all the seating. There is bar style, high tables, and outdoor starting. Price: (4/5) Prices are averaged for the area. Food: (4/5) The shrimp tacos were really good. The sauces they have on the side are a must with the tacos. You need at least 3 tacos to be full. I would have preferred to eat the nachos while dining in as they got soggy by the time I had a chance to eat them. Service: (4/5) Food comes out at a decent pace. read more

Taco Rock - -Birria tacos - Tacos Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I'm a big fan of Taco Rock - this is the perfect lunch spot whenever I have coworkers in town and we want to go somewhere slightly nicer than the other fast causal spots in Rosslyn. I've enjoyed all the tacos I've tried here. And even if the tacos aren't great, you can douse them in one of their delicious sauces anyway!!! The churros are also excellent and surprisingly fresh, with the perfect amount of crispiness. It can get a bit crowded during lunch time on weekdays but I've never had an issue finding a table. Highly recommend Taco Rock if you're in the Rosslyn area. read more

Good tacos in the neighborhood especially if you want to be able to sit down and have a drink. They have a wide array of tacos with interesting combinations. I like to order their unique tacos vs the traditional, and they are so delicious. I had the we jammin taco, birria Mac and cheese taco, and chili belly taco. We also had the birria egg roll and elote - all really yummy! It's a no frills taco restaurant and bar, but a good option in the neighborhood. read more

Taco Rock is one cool spot! Came here with 2 of my girlfriends on a Friday night. It was the perfect spot for a girls night out. Good food, drinks were amazing, service was on point, and the overall vibe was cool and trendy. The three of us sat at the bar and tried a number of different tacos and apps. We started off with the queso, which was prob the only thing that wasn't amazing. Was a little bland and a bit thinner than I like my queso. We also started with the empanadas. They come with two...1 pork and one beef. I was a fan of both. Nice crispy shell with plenty of yummy filling and a tasty green sauce for dipping. For drinks... we went with the classics margarita They were nice and strong and didn't taste like straight sour mix. We also tried the Mexican mojito, which is made with tequila! Good quality drinks that weren't terribly pricey. As for the tacos...we tried at least 8 of them. We started off grabbing 1 taco per person and realized we were getting full pretty quickly but still wanted to try more. So we started splitting 1 taco amongst the 3 of us. It was genius!! The Birria is a must try. Loved everything about this place! We will definitely be back for another girls night out. read more
