“I am not typically a fan of Tex Mex cuisine, but my husband enjoys it, so I decided to give it another try. My husband suggested we visit Mi Cocina, as it is conveniently located near our residence and had received a 5-star rating online. We arrived around noon today. Our server, Jairo, was helpful in recommending a dish, which proved to be delicious, featuring a combination of various appetizers. The food was warm and served promptly. Jairo also suggested drinks, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The staff consistently displayed friendly smiles, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Jairo and the staff deserve a 5-star rating from us.“

“Torchys is one of my favorite places to eat. The environment and food are both so amazing. Prices are nothing crazy at all. I love it.“

“Went today for lunch about 2:30pm It wasn't to crowded that was a good thing Food was really good as always but the server had a really bad attitude His face was like he was angry!! Maybe not with us but he didn't do a good service. At the end we went to pay and his face was worse and he put the bill hitting hard the table . I totally understand that everyone has a bad day but if you work on this kind of job You can not treat customers like that Hope next time I visit the restaurant He'll not be my server“

“Wait staff is excellent here!!! 2 people showed up to take our order to help our waitress who had already taken our order. They are very attentive, making sure you're taken care of. The chips n dip alone-black beans, red salsa, green salsa. (spicy & tangy) and
The 20 oz. Mangolada is where the party is at!! Just saying. 💯🥳“

“Tables are usually pretty clean and the food is great! I love their pickled jalapeños and carrots.
I just can’t believe they’re charging a whole $1.25 extra for anything with egg in it! Eggs are back to their regular price and the cashier still tried to up charge us for eggs.. We didn’t even order extra!! Plus you typically have to wait for them to come check you out or wait for her to get off her phone to ring up your order. Not sure I’ll be coming back or not..“

“Please give our sincere appreciation to the gentleman that brought out our order. He is top notch when it comes to customer service. He is friendly, professional, proactive, polite and has a great attitude. Each time we pick up our order he is outstanding regardless of how many people is there. I don’t know his name but he often works at curbside pickup. Last time we saw him was 12/4.“

“Great vibe“

“So the plan was to go to the Court Rd location but this was closed and I was hungry!
But, it was fantastic. A few more options but that red salsa hits! They have daily specials and it was worth every penny!
Bonus- ice cream machine in the lobby! ❤️❤️“

“Food 💯, service 💯, vibe 💯.

Co-workers raved about this spot, I tagged along to try it out. If you like affordable tex mex , this is the spot !

So many combos most are under $8 with water when on special.
As soon as you walk in your greeted by the staff. The menu was very clear to see , read and understand.
The atmosphere was great, decorations and the vibe were in point. Restaurant was clean.

This gave me a vibe of taco cabana with a papasitos mix.

I had the taco plate , 3 tacos with beef, rice and beans with a drink and 2 extra tortillas.

100% would recommend 👌“

“Loved how our server attended us for first time here ! Without even knowing it was my first time . I enjoyed the food it was very flavorful and fresh the drinks were perfect I got the strawberry mint was very refreshing and went well with my food . I didn’t get to take a picture of it when I first received as I was ready to try it lol .“

“Margaritas are awesome! As well as the Queso!! We had a blast!“

“it was fabulous! What a nice way to end a hard four day work week. Date Night does not come around so often between two hard working people. Rosa's Cafe is a wonderful place to relax and let them do the cooking for one night out of the week. i Highly recommend them...Thank you!“

“THIS IS MY FAVE SPOT!!! I go out of my way to come to this location because my burrito is ALWAYS on point and the queso is THE BEST!! DO NOT get me started on Ash and how she runs this location like a CHAMP, A TRUE LEADER!! Ash, Kayla, and the team MAKE MY DAY with their kindness, empathy, and their attention to every detail. They really go above and beyond and I am forever thankful for them. I look FORWRD to coming to this location for customer service that is PERFECTION, food that is DELICIOUS, and a CHILL atmosphere that is inviting. THANK YOU ROCKWALL , YA'LL ARE THE BEST, I AM THANKFUL FOR YALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Although there was a convention at the hotel and they were busy the food and service were great! Nico was my server as well as covering the entire restaurant and bar he did an amazing job taking care of all the patrons with a smile. He is the reason I am writing the review. He stepped up at a time in need and provided great service. Thanks Nico.“

“Siempre que vamos a Estados Unidos la comida del ranchero es exquisita , no hay comparación uno de los platillos predilectos es la parrillada, y los tacos con su salsas, no hay comparación“

“toda la comida estuvo deliciosa, la tampuqueña, bistek a la mexicana las aguas frescas y las salsa. saludos desde Conroe y Houston“

“Very good people and great food.“

“Pedi 3 gorditas asado, picadillo y chicharrón (solo me gusto el chicharrón buenísimo) el ambiente no se sentía bueno, ya que el comedor estaba un poco sucio y las cajeras como que ya estaban cansadas de trabajar“

“I don’t know who the manager of this store is but he needs to go train the other ones in Tulsa, OK. Bueno is a hit or miss there but this is consistently good every time I go. Also the little croissant at the window was an added bonus he told me my dog was cute and she really appreciated that.“

“Delicious Mexican food at affordable prices“

“We are so excited that Freebird’s opened here close to us!!! We love these burritos, definitely this Texan’s favorite burrito!!! The staff is awesome and the food is mmmmmmm so yummy!!! We will be here often!!“

“Had a good experience, but a new employee working there for his first day was wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt with offensive and disturbing graphics printed on it with the words "Death Row" and I should not have been looking, but saw his pants go down far enough to see his underwear when I was looking around to see if the place is clean and sanitary looking. I am very serious about food safety and sanitary environments. Taco Bueno has high standards, but I don't like someone not in a uniform shirt with the Taco Bueno logo and no name tag and behaving in an unprofessional manner. I asked for the manager, and she took my order and patched things up. She is very nice and would definitely go back when she can take my order personally. When I pay the high prices at Taco Bueno, everything BETTER BE COMPLETE, CORRECT, and ALL PROCEDURES AND CORPORATE GUIDELINES FOLLOWED.“

“I pulled into the drive thru on a rainy Wednesday morning for 3 simple party tacos. The drive thru was prompt, courteous and accurate. My time in the drive thru was standard for a drive thru, not fast but also not a long wait. The simple party tacos? Absolutely fresh and delicious as a Taco could be. I was actually impressed with how delicious they were. Top notch fast food with a pleasant experience to boot!“

“I ordered lunch today for our school group. It was a large order of 70 tacos and nearly 70 more burritos and we received incredible service! Not only was the order accurate, but the staff included napkins, hot sauce and plates for the group and even noticed that I drove up and rolled out my completed order to my vehicle to load before I even opened my car door. It was wonderful to work with Taco Casa. The portions are generous and the food is always delicious. Amazing service was the cherry on top today!“
