On Main Street in Rowlett, is a small but very well designed Mexican Restaurant named Barrocos Latin Cuisine. They use their space thoughtfully. It's not big, but they can easily seat 50 people. The food was good, and fresh. I got the chicken fajita tacos, and it was tasty. My grandson loved the rice! He ate everyone's rice on this visit. The service was pleasant and quick. It was a nice lunch for our small group. read more

My experience was overall really good. You have to understand that this is a Latin Fusion place which means they put a twist on traditional Latin dishes. They do have some unadulterated items like fajitas and beans and rice. Other items like the chiles rellenos are half stuffed and then layered with additional cheese, instead of stuffing the poblano pepper with all the cheese. As far as the taste and presentation - delicious and creative! Downside: water has traces of "tap" taste and the menus shown on the reviews are outdated. The server said they change the menu every 6 months. read more

I've been here several times with the family, and also gotten the fajitas but I recently had the opportunity to take my friends for the Latin dance night and we explored the menu and really enjoyed all the other items on the menu. The chicharrón tacos were incredible, the lomo saltado was very tasty, very similar to Peruvian flavors and the paella was delicious!!! read more

Wow, I didn't know this place existed until last night. It was SO GOOD! My taco was yummy, my enchilada was excellent, my sautéed veggies were cooked perfectly, and I haven't had charro beans that good in a really long time. Drank every last drop. The margarita was super good and plenty strong too! Highly recommend!! read more

We went here for a mid-week date, and the restaurant was almost full. After ordering, I see why! I ordered the parrillada mexicana which was AMAZING. The flavor on each different type of meat was done very well. My husband had the chipotle shrimp pasta, and he was also a fan. But the churros... definitely sealed the deal. Service was good. We'll definitely return and are glad it's closed to home and locally owned. read more

I was told we were going out to a Mexican restaurant. When we pulled up in front of it, I was still looking for it! This place was a very pleasant surprise beginning with the name. No garish decor or bright colors just class and hospitable surroundings. Even though quite busy, we got a table immediately and our server had menus in our hands while setting the table with chips and salsa. An excellent selection of dishes were available on the menu. Each of us chose something different and before we knew it, our food was presented. Without getting into describing each dish, as they all were flavorful and plentiful, let me just say that you must order the Mexican corn as one of your sides! This place is a hidden gem that plenty of diners have found. Will you be next? read more

I love the atmosphere. It's busy and fun. For better or worse, it feels like you're in the family kitchen... casual and gregarious. The music makes you want to dance. We waited a 45 minutes for a table on a Friday night (not unusual). Then we ate 3 servings of chips and salsa while waiting another 45 minutes for the food. My husband said, "but for the food, I'd like it here." He had fajitas. The fajita steak was tough because it was incorrectly cut and the chicken was dry and over cooked. I had the posole rojo. I can't say that it was worth the wait, but I will say that I wasn't disappointed. It was DELICIOUS! The four stars are for potential. They have some work to do in wait times, cleanliness and professionalism, but those are easy fixes. I look forward to returning and giving 5 stars. read more

The service was excellent, I love that these folks know everyone that walks through their door. I had the mofongo with shrimp and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! It was delicious and that is an understatement. This is a FANTASTIC restaurant. I will be back from Chicago just to eat here again. read more

Excellent service and food I always enjoy going there! the ambiance is good and the decoration is neat!!

we ordered the blackened salmon salad a couple times before which I liked. So on 10/3/25 we ordered it again for pickup. When we got home we realized we were given an incorrect order. we called and spoke to the owner who was very disrespectful and rude and refused to listen to us! Instead of coming to some sort of civil understanding she continued to yell and hung up on us we have never experienced such disgusting behavior from a food establishment before, especially from the owner! read more

Hands Down. HANDS DOWN!!!! The best Mexican food I've had in years. I've lived in Kansas, okc, SF, Vegas, Chicago, now Dallas... hands down!!!!!! It's a small spot, fifteen tables max. Two servers, a manager and a busser to give context for the atmosphere. The service is impeccable. The food is outstanding. I can't even begin to describe how good it is. The drinks..... crafted.. individually. Absolutely delicious. I can't get enough. I will be a life long customer. I am so impressed. I wish I could paint a better picture but this is Picasso of dining. Mona Lisa of Mexican cuisine and the crème de la crème of service!! A million stars if I could !!!! I didn't take a pic of my food but I ordered the 3 combo 1 cheese enchila with chili con carne 1 chicken enchilada with spicy sour crème sauce 1 tamale (my favorite) with avocado sauce Spanish rice and charro beans (sooooo good) Ground beef chimichanga with chili con carne and Spanish rice Appetizer - chorizo con queso (absolutely amazing) House margarita House special cocktails with coconut crème, Malibu, Tajin and some other stuff. I can't remember the name. (SOOOO GOOOD) Everyone needs to come here. If you're reading and made it this far, just come. Don't even second guess it. It's amazing. read more

This was an excellent find in Rowlett. Yelp came through again!! Super fantastic lunch specials under $9.00. I had enchiladas with a side of refried beans and tortilla soup (this was a side option). My wife had the best flautas that I have tasted!! The space is a little small but the food makes up for it! read more

Food was amazing service was awesome and environment was welcoming. I will eat there again

This place has been open for a while, but my wife and I just discovered it this year. It's a nice, if a little small, place on Main St. in Rowlett. It's a nice area and not too difficult to get parking. They do have patio seating for those nice evenings as well. It's easy to get around inside, and seating can be a little cozy, but honestly you will be sharing food anyway so it is perfect. We've had great service and had a conversation with the owner as well. Note that this is not your place if you want Tex-Mex. They have some, but you really should come here because it is not like the other Tex-Mex restaurants. The food is amazing and I (almost) guarantee you'll have enough to take home if you want. They are not stingy, I'll put it that way. We have eaten here twice and plan to go back. I do recommend it to our friends that enjoy something a little different but very good. I have a couple of pics, but I don't remember the names of the dishes! ;) It might be a drive for some, but you really should try it out. read more

Normally pretty good. I ordered the same dish I always do with "just a little cheese". It took a long time to get our food which is unusual and then when it came it was smothered and swimming in so much cheese I had to ask for an extra plate to scrape it off. on top of that it was barely luke warm. If it hadn't taken so long to get it in the first place I would have sent it back. Very disappointing. read more

They knocked it out of the park once again. This place is a family favorite, and a favorite of the locals. Friendly staff, and the food is absolutely on another level. The pastor tacos are 10/10. Their pastor meat is different than anywhere you've ever had it. It's NOT like street taco meat. Wish I had taken pics. Fajita steak is also best in class. I only wish they had a bigger space, this place stays packed, and for good reason. Great margs also! read more

I give this place zero stars. The food was not authentic the service was horrible sat waiting for over 10 ten minutes and still nothing I got up went to bathroom and noticed a dead cockroach in the kitchen area. I still swallowed my desire to be a Karen and ate and was not satisfied at all with food overall is no good and the service is horrible do not go to this place. read more

I must begin with admitting I do not do this often. I appreciate restaurants and staff and good food. We went on a Friday evening. The place was busy but not too crowded. We placed our drink order and were served with them about 15 minutes later. Honestly, it went downhill after that. Our waiter was using some electronic device to write our order. He could not have messed it up more. The only thing correctly served was the appetizer. We waited thirty minutes for my date's food, which was wrong. My food order was never placed. Another staff came out and said the order was on its way. Seriously, twenty minutes later it arrived. During this time a man came in to order something to go. After waiting thirty-five minutes for his order, he left. We spoke on his way out and he was disappointed. I will say the menu was impressive and my drinks were okay, although the only person who came by to check on us was a young girl who spoke absolutely no English- which was okay because my date is Latina. The table next to us did not fare as well due to no Spanish skills. I have never done this in my life but I left no tip. I generally will tip in the 30-40% range because of my respect for the servers. I could not do it tonight. I will not go back. I saw the place from a local brewery across the street and it looked cool! I was truly looking forward to my first visit there. read more

It is a cute cozy restaurant and our server was attentive. However, I was disappointed in my dinner. I ordered a cheese stuffed chilli relleno.The breading just tasted like fried egg whites. I scraped the breading off and ate some it. The sides of refried beans tasted as if the beans had been scorched and rice was just ok. The iced tea was the weakest tea I believe I have ever had. Overall a very disappointing meal. read more

Taste of several dishes and the service is excellent! There are a number of alternative dishes that appear to be inviting read more

I'm going to be fair and say the drinks were great. We went on a Saturday when they were having a party and they were busy. However, they did keep their location open to walk in business, and there was no seating indoors, so we sat outside. We were never checked on. We asked for chips and salsa 3 times before we received it. We emptied our waters and never got refills. We emptied our margs and never saw our waiter to order another. We waited for over an hour for our food while others around us who came in later received theirs. The atmosphere in this restaurant is really authentic and pleasant and maybe it is because we tried this restaurant on a day when they had a party, however if you are going to host a party and not close your restaurant to outsiders please be able to accommodate those customers as well. When they brought the food out, it was all tasty. read more

My daughter and I tried Barrocos on a Thursday night. The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and the drinks were delicious! It was a little loud for me but that's just me.

Had a late lunch with my wife. The owners are extremely friendly and attentive. They don't have a large staff due to not being able to hire quality people, so you may think the service a bit slow. We were seated and placed our order, a young man brought us chips-n-salsa to appease our hunger. Great chips but the salsa was a bit flat. For an appetizer we ordered the Choriqueso, which was awesomely cheesey with an in-house made chorizo topping it. She ordered the Carne Flamedo and I, the Cheese and Enchiladas Mexicanas. Both were killer dishes with a whole lotta flavor. We'll definitely be coming back and brining friends and family! read more

Went to this place thinking on Latin cousine witya group of 6 people, big surprised was there was only Mexican dishes on the menu . We said okay let's order Chle Reyeno this was chile poblano with cheese totally ooen and not a chlie stuff with meat or cheese. Never seen this on a Mexican Restaurant or Any place in Mexico. The Gorritas plate. Corn Gorditas was to big for corn masa the pastor meat was yo sweet and fajita or beef to dry. Fish tacos Good flavor unfortunately the fish was shopped and tortilla little greasy. Shrimp Tacos Shrimp was over the coleslaw by the way no flavor on the coleslaw and shrimp was to small for the size of the taco Carne asada o tampiqueña Good flavor perfect cooked by the way the side corn was amazing. The chips Serrano sauce The mix drink . To much sweetness and no alcohol for the price. Appetizers . Service was really good and waitress who said was the owner was very friendly. Always this is just my opinion. EM read more

Family own and family recipes, best Mexican restaurant I've been to in north Texas and maybe ever. Their salsa is the absolute best I could survive on their chips and salsa and margaritas of course. Very reasonable and their service was excellent. Have been a few times now and everything was delicious. It's a small space but table move quickly. read more

Second time here and both times have been great. Margaritas are packed with a punch so be prepared and portion sizes are really big. Probably enough to share but flavor of food wasn't sacrificed with what we got. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the guacamole. It was a little on the bland side for my taste so probably won't order next time. Other than that.. everything was tasty! read more

We were very impressed tonight! Hopped over here because Bankhead Brewery had a 45 minute wait. And we were not disappointed in the service or the food. We were seated quickly and the hostess was so friendly. Our waitress was helpful with suggestions because they have a large menu. There were 4 of us and each one loved what they ordered. The prices are very reasonable. We couldn't believe how large the $6 margaritas and the $2 queso were. And instead of giving each plate the standard rice and beans, you get to pick your 2 sides. There are some unique menu items. Try it out, I think you'll be happy you did. read more
