Taco Rock - Falls Church

Good casual taco spot with blue corn! Plenty of taco varieties for my meat hearty hubby and my vegetarian diet, Taco Rock is true to its name. Hubby enjoyed his Carne tacos. I saw some interesting dessert tacos like Pumpkin Cheesecake!Among the 3 vegetarian tacos, the General Tso Cauliflower was my favorite and hit the spot with a sweet and tangy flavor, followed by the Fried Avocado, and Balsamic Mushroom. The crispy tempura fried avocado was fun to try, but the guac was a bit soggy and while the mushrooms were cooked well and on point, the bold Balsamic sauce detracted from the flavor. I enjoyed the house-made blue tortillas!The blue Puff Chips had an interesting puffy airy texture and flavor, similar to arepas. They were a bit dense, doughy and quite filling. The guacamole was soggy and sad and the salsa was quite spicy. The chips were fun to try, but wasn't a big fan of them with the guac or the salsa. I enjoyed the Loco Coco cocktail with a bold coconut flavor more than the Mango Margarita. The Mango Margarita was good (I upgraded to Cadillac Margarita was Mezcal), but wish the restaurant used fresh juices and made them in house. As there are both Daily and Happy Hour specials, I would go back for one of the specials and the General Tso Cauliflower tacos!

Please NOTE that this is SPECIFIC REVIEW TO ONE TRENDY NEW MENU ITEM !The New B.Y.O. Chips bad for Walking Taco!To be very honest, I know who started the trend in the DMV area, but also, the trend isn't exclusive to one business, so let's get over this point! I don't care who started a trend, but I care about who does it better and who master it!! ;) Taco Rock is a very well established business with multiple locations, and actually, I was impressed with the ambiance and vibes! I felt I'm in Florida or another warm weather state! Outdoor seating, outdoor bar , nice colors everywhere ! Fun! Eating B.Y.O.C at a restaurant like that is definitely a much better experience than having to stand by a food truck in the street, but hey, I'll still try that experience too! The toppings varieties and options are much more and much better than the other places running the trend and still the same price! $10 This walking taco COLD WAR will definitely benefit us! I chose the Birria meat, and honestly, the portion in my chips bag was ok! It was very tasty and very cheap! For the record, I got it on a Keto friendly chips bag, and my co-worker got on a huge UTZ BBQ Ripples bag! They welcome you to get huge bags! They also have some chips bags in case you couldn't bring your own bag! But the nice thing is the CVS next door has all kinds of chips and a few steps away is Giant grocery store! Next time, I want to challenge them with a lettuce bag! ;) lol The whole experience was fun and the staff was nice , welcoming and so cool! Sitting at the bar, there was fun, and you get to take sauces and lime wedges from their toppings bar! I'll definitely go there again and try different toppings and different combinations!! Look at the menu in my photos!! Look as the portions in my photos!! LOVE IT! Please KEEP IT ON THE MENU!Thank you, TACO ROCK !!Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ... Pray for me ;)

First time here. My son was unsure and skeptical about "Taco Rock". He's not the biggest fan of Tex-Mex/Mexican food but he will try it cause I want to try this place. Walking in, the bar is on left and right are seats and straight ahead are ordering kiosks & the kitchen area. You can actually see them prepare the food. We ordered Birria, Al Pastor, Bbq Brisket and Fish (Grouper) tacos as well as chicken nachos. Al Pastor was pork shoulder. We kinda assumed chicken. But the taco was dry and flavorless. Even with salsa and condiments. Maybe it was a bad day. Probably won't order it again.Bbq brisket was tender, juicy and saucy. Flavor bomb.Birria taco was also tender, juicy and dipping in consomme/soup/dipping gravy was so good.My fav was fried fish (Grouper) taco. That meat was so soft, so moist, the outer coating was crispy and not oily or greasy. Its the type of seafood I would get from Key West, FL. FRESH! DELICIOUS! There were lots of TVs in bar area for sports/games. But I didnt notice cause we concentrated on the food and we sat next to the kitchen so were peaking over and the staff making/preparing the food. Fascinating. They got a kick out us two peeking over the containers and particion. Overall, my son & I loved the food in general (except Al Pastor). Most of the food was high quality & freshly prepared. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. We could have just ordered 2 tacos each and been full but didn't know how big the nachos were. We had a talk with the manager/operator of this location and told him we had a nice experience. We told him about our friend Al Pastor, not being a good friend. Kinda bland and dry. He was receptive about our comments. I would give Taco Rock a 4.5/5. But they don't give 0.5 stars on Yelp. WE'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK ROCKING THE TACOS HERE and try their other items!

Not that authentic but really great service and solid nachos. If you just want a place for some he forgoes tacos. Here's your place. The happy hours are good and the staff are kind. They also have great outdoor seating and a nice fireplace. Nothing to write home to mom about but it's solid.

I loveeee Taco rock but my sister and I have not been here in a while! We decided to stop here before we did some Christmas shopping because we were super hungry. We always order the chicken crunch wrap instead of getting the steak inside, we substitute it for chicken and I add lettuce in mine. The food is always a 10/10! We sat at the bar and the bar tenders were very attentive and eager to take care of us! The place is always clean and had either the game on or music playing.

When in doubt Taco Rock I go. Why not? The food is consistently excellent and the staff friendly. So there I went again today. I love the lobster taco and my standby is the chicken taco--I ask for the avocado sauce on the side because it's so good I slather it on and have some left for my other food. I so enjoy sitting at the outdoor bar or cute tables outside. In my opinion, the best taco place in the area. It may not be authentic because it has so much variety, but that's why I like it. Always something new to try if you want.

Service is always great when sitting at the bar.Atmosphere is unique too. A tequila bar with a rock & roll twist. Price wise, drinks can be expensive so if looking to save some money, try and go during happy hour or get the drink special of the day. Food is always delicious and fresh too. Usually like to just snack while in there, but I've gotten some tacos and fajitas from time to time and they're piping hot.

A fun taco shop with great options! Have come here a few times and tried different tacos. My favorite is the fried avocado, which is the perfect amount of fried (not too greasy, not too mushy). They're speedy and the food is always prepared on time when ordered ahead. I've only ever done takeout, so I can't speak much to the dine-in experience, but the place seems fun and welcoming nonetheless!

I walked in after visiting staples and felt like I was walking into a nightclub- in a good way! The music was great, upbeat, and a good volume. There was a bar with about 8 people midday in a Saturday. Lights no was good not overly bright like ready for surgery. Over the bar, there were four TVs with 3 sporting events on them. Opposite was another screen playing music.Contactless and machine ordering. Super easy. Usually I don't like this but here it worked great. There were many too. I went to wash my hands and then my order was ready. I got three tacos.: the classic Pasteur (delicious), the oyster (burst of flavor and the best one), and the avocado (good but other two outshined it). I drank water. Next time I'll sit at the bar. But gave up alcohol for lent. Putting this place in my rotation for place to satisfy taco cravings.

We arrived as soon as they were open so the ambiance was super chill as the workers were prepping for the day. They had a brunch menu where we got steak and eggs and I got a hangover brunch bowl with chorizo. So glad the chorizo was not cooked in tequila as the menu suggested. The steak was tender but had a very distinct burnt taste to the steak that I personally wasn't fond of but maybe others like it. The potatoes that came with the orders were superb and you can try at least 4 different sauces to go with it but it's not needed since the food is super flavorful without it. I will definitely come back when I'm in the mood for some tacos
