      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.

      Upon my first visit to Taco Rock, home of the Blue Corn Tortilla, I was immediately struck by the fast-paced and busy yet inviting atmosphere. The music, seating area, and bar with TVs created a nice vibe that added to the overall experience. This place offers a wide variety of Traditional Mexican street tacos and classic Tex Mex street food.

      During my visit, I had the opportunity to sample a range of dishes including land and sea, macha shrimp, carne asada, shake down shrimp, rockfish, rice, and beans. Each dish was not only delicious but also came in generous portion sizes. I was impressed by the daily specials offered at the restaurant.

      One of the highlights of my visit was the drinks, which were expertly crafted and quite strong. The bartenders were amazing and contributed to the lively atmosphere of the place. I appreciated the unique system in which you go to a machine to purchase your own tacos and receive a buzzer to pick them up.

      Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Taco Rock and will definitely be returning in the future. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Mexican street food and great drinks.

      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.

      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.

      Came to visit Washington DC decided to eat at this establishment. The owner Anthony was 100% rude. I brought my girlfriend with me and he just kept on putting me down front of her telling me this is a lot of food for skin guy like you. If this is how he runs a business truly truly mind blown that it's still running a good friend of mine recommended this restaurant, and I will never come back. The atmosphere is great. The bartenders are awesome but the owner that something else food is outstanding.

      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.

      Good, quick, and easy! We ordered the taco salad, which was SO GOOD and huge! The burrito was phenomenal with chicken. The quesadilla gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 because it was tiny for the price and was flavorless. The inside was a little dirty so the place could use a little TLC. We will be returning though! Great neighborhood spot for Rosslyn.

      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

      I usually go to the Alexandria location but was in the area and decided to drop in for drinks. Unfortunately I don't think I will be returning as the bar staff weren't as friendly and the drinks weren't as strong. However, the ceviche was just as phenomenal and fresh per usual. I'm glad the food aspect didn't disappoint .

      & though this destination has outdoor seating I love the feel and ambiance of the Alexandria restaurant more.
