I ordered the beef quesadilla — the tortilla and the meat were excellent, and the guacamole was perfectly balanced. We also received a complimentary basket of cookies with our Thanksgiving order, which was such a nice touch. Great service and great flavors. Definitely a 5/5.“

“The food here is SOOO delicious! I would say it is fresh food fast, not fast food. We ate in, ordered 3 dishes, and there was no one else in the place. It took roughly 10 minutes to get our food. I could see that the grilled veggies were just cooked, and not reheated. The plate of 4 veggie tacos was very filling and satisfying. Others got steak burrito and veggie burrito, and gave thumbs up all around. Total bill for 3 with a decent tip was $45.

Vegetarian options: They have veggie tacos (yum), veggie burrito, veggie quesadilla.“

I rarely give 5 stars, because we good as any place is. There's always room for improvement, so when I give a 5, it was earned. I've been to 5 different locations, and all were consistently good!“

“10/10 doesn’t even begin to cover it, Roque’s House absolutely blew me away! This was my first time ordering through Uber Eats, and every single bite was beyond worth it. We ordered the tostadas de carne, agua de jamaica, and horchata, and I am honestly obsessed. Everything arrived incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The tostadas were delicious and packed with amazing flavor, plus the portions were generous for the price. But I HAVE to give extra love to the drinks — the agua de jamaica and horchata were some of the best I’ve ever had including the ones i had in México, seriously unforgettable! So refreshing, perfectly made, and the kind of drinks you keep thinking about after you’re done. Roque’s House officially earned a loyal customer. Amazing food, amazing quality, amazing value. If you’re thinking about ordering, do it… you will not regret it!“

“Went there for drinks and dancing for my sister's birthday. Good music drink and atmosphere. I recommend the caipirinha. However what I don't like is that because at night its two different vibes/events, one downstairs and one upstairs you had to pay separately for both instead of one price and getting to switch between the two because then you are stuck if you don't like the music of the spot you picked. We went downstairs. It was mostly reggaeton, nee and old school and dembow, which is fine but they told us they were going to be mixing music but we barely got any merengue bachata or salsa. I had to beg the DJ 4 times for bachata“

“We are from the north of Mexico and we had not tried such good tacos with the flavor and seasoning of the North, especially the asada tacos, excellent, we only give it a 4 for the following:
1 - The chef still needs the shepherd tacos, the seasoning falls short, perhaps it has something to do with the cooking of the trompo.
2 - The corn tortilla tastes much better a little golden (dried in oil)

We don't know if it has a flour tortilla, that one is a bit complicated almost everywhere they give it raw.

We cannot comment on the service since we order at home.

Other than that, everything was very good.

1 - The pastor tacos still lack the cook (a), the seasoning falls short, perhaps it has something to do with the cooking of the trompo.
2 - The corn tortilla tastes much better than a little golden (passed through oil)

“I ordered pupusas for the school I work for, since we were celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. The way they pack and organize my order was amazing. The pupusas are so big that I was able to cut them in half and everyone was able to eat. The students and staff were satisfied, some first time eating pupusas and some already had try them before and they all said it was delicious. Thank you so much 3 Nopales!!!“
