We are somewhat new to town and love Mexican food so have tried about five different Mexican restaurants in Roanoke. This one was disappointing. We always order cheese dip, and here, it is $7.99 for a small lukewarm bowl of it, plus you have to pay for chips, (which tasted a bit stale) and Salsa (good). My entrée of one chicken enchilada, one beef, enchilada, beans, and rice was very mediocre. Not bad tasting, but nothing at all special about it, which was odd, because I had the same thing at another location of Tacos Rojas near Black dog Salvage, and it was much tastier – like a real chef was in the kitchen putting specialty Homemade twists on all parts of the meal. The presentation was lackluster – plain food served on a plain white plate could easily have a wedge of lime or tomato slice, or the beans served on a lettuce leaf, or just something for a little effort. The restaurant appeared very clean and had a beautiful view of a meadow, and there was a nice patio for outdoor seating. There are better places to go get Mexican food for a better price and better overall value. Pueblo Chico is one of them!

A friend called this place TacoRipoff but I had to try it anyway. We had to pay $12 for chips salsa and queso. Normally it’s half that. I asked the waitress why and she just shrugged her shoulders. The food had a Cisco taste and the Margarita was too sweet. Do yourself a favor and check out some other places in town for Mexican. We won’t be back.

Great burrito, great enchiladas and I will definitely always get my order with the beans and rice. This is the real deal Baja style Mexican cuisine. If I could ever stop ordering my favorites I'd probably discover that the rest of the menu is also an all star review. But the burrito or the enchiladas I haven't been able to pass up yet. Highly recommended.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area!

Service and kitchen staff were horrible. And order of chicken noodle soup too over 45 miniutes to scoop from the soup drumbeat to a container, yet to no avail i had to leave with out my order. I frequent all 3 surrounding this area and each time iv ever come here I made to feel as if im doing too much whilst just simply waiting for a prepaid order almost 45 miniutes past pickup time. This branch is a real embarrassment to the taco roja franchise especially the roanoke city location. Top notch. Love the place it only takes 1 baffled apple to ruin them all

A beautiful restaurant with fresh, amazing food. No matter what you order, it comes out splendid.
The chimichangas were amazing and filling, two with two sides for $15 and look at the burrito my friend got?

One of the cleanest restaurants I have been to lately in the Roanoke Valley. Staff is so friendly, food is excellent, and again so clean and well maintained. Thanks for a great early lunch you have just become our favorite spot!
my car broke down and I had to pull over safely - while waiting on someone to come help get my car elsewhere I had to use the restroom, and went here. no one was up front when I came in, but some rude guy was when I got out. I told him I didn't need anything, just needed the restroom. he started in on me saying it was for customers only - I explained my car had broken down and was waiting for someone to help and he just kept on in broken English that it was customers only - I got fed up and told him I'd already used it it's not like I can take it back and I'm not going to keep arguing about it, and left. if this is how they treat people I would never come here 😡

I went during lunch with my friend and we were the only ones in there (not a bad thing). The atmosphere was amazing, murals, tiles, hand painted chairs, and overall a lovely Mexican style resturant. The food took a little while to come out, but it was because it was being made from scratch. The food was amazing, my friend said it's the best Mexican he has ever had (i agree that it's really good). The host was very friendly and took great care of us, if I'm in the area I'll go again for sure.
