Some of the best Spanish food in Albany and Corvallis. Get by and get a combo meal! I enjoyed it!

This is my go-to when I want tasty margaritas and excellent guacamole. The atmosphere is friendly, and the staff is attentive! read more

Its my wife and mine favorite Mexican food around. They give big proportions of food. I always ask for the house hot sauce. Its a little different every time but always hot and very good. They have a outside patio for the warm days. read more

We stopped in here while passing through town and found it through yelp reviews. Thank you yelpers! This place did not disappoint. Great food! My husband ordered one of their signature platters and I ordered the chicken fajitas. Everything was seasoned and cooked amazingly! It was all served hot and steaming to the table. The sides of bean and rice were even flavorful and yummy. Nothing on our plates was disappointing. Our server was friendly and attentive. We received extra tortillas quickly when requested and had our drinks refilled promptly during our meal. The staff is wearing masks while serving and they are somewhat spacing guest out in each area. We love Mexican food and this place topped the list of good spots! We'll definitely stop in here again someday when we pass through. read more

La Roca has a consistent feel. Between its service and food. You usually get what you are expecting. There have been a couple occasions where the food was bland and needed more flavor and heat. But usually it hits the mark. The service is almost always perfect. All of the servers are kind and attentive. As far as ambiance, it can geta but crowded but that just means people enjoy it. La Roca is definitely one of Albany's better Mexican locations. read more

The owner has very bad manners. Over concerned about the dollar. He may bring A second ticket to your table if he thinks the person who gave you the first ticket didn't do it the correct way. read more

Been here a few times hoping it would improve but it never does. This time there was a pretty big piece of broken porcelain in the salsa they brought out. I addressed with server and not even an apology! They have never been friendly and food has just been ok. Wouldn't waste your time. There are so many better Mexican restaurants in Albany. read more

Always a pleasure. The outside patio was delightful. Service with a smile. The table side guacamole is always fought over. read more

La Roca - Carne Asada. Delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Albany, Oregon

Still my favorite in Albany. Tonight I had the enchilada camaron, enchilada's with yummy flavorful shrimp with green sauce and delicious rice and beans. Service was great. Also enjoyed a mangonada margarita, was very good. They were pretty busy for a Monday night. My Husband and I like to try other mexican restaurants in the area but they don't really compare, except mexican food trucks they are comparable. Keep it up La Roca, continue being #1 Mexican food in our town! read more

Always good food and great service. Very fresh and delicious. Margaritas and the table side guacamole is a must.

Well hands down the best American Mexican food in the Albany-Corvallis area that I have been too. Friendly staff, awesome bright colors for decor, and good food!! And yummy margaritas!! How much more could ask of a place!! And I hear that the table side guacamole is making but have not been back to try it yet!! read more

Made a high risk drop-in visit last night for nachos and margaritas. There were some sketchy reviews but we had a good experience. We had the Super nachos and a Mexican pizza. Very good and respectable portions. The drinks were excellent. The wife had a spicy mango margarita and I had the waitress recommended red neck margarita. It's basically a house margarita but larger. I was pleasantly surprised to see the mix wasn't some store bought acid sour concoction. They used a nice silver tequila that you could actually taste. No bottom shelf trash. We also sat outside on their covered patio. The salsa was served in a dish that resembled a thimble. Thankful they brought another thimble of salsa without an extra charge. The dining room had an amazing smell as we walked through to the patio. All in all a solid 4 star visit in Albany. We'll be back for entrees next time. Cheers! read more

La Roca - Spicy mango margarita and a super-sized red neck margarita. - Mexican Near Me - Albany, Oregon

First time trying this place. The chips and salsa were good, but that is where it ended. Over priced substandard food. Shrimp were undercooked and smelt fishy. Rice was very bland while other items were salty. Unfortunately my margarita couldn't even help salvage my dinner. I paid $17.95 for a margarita that tasted just like mix. Of course I didn't realize that was the price until I got my bill. Never have I had such an expensive drink. I felt like I had been ripped off. Will not return. read more

BEST LaCrema in the Willamette Valley!! Also, Delanie is THE BEST server around, hands down!!!

First time here, not sure I will be back The chips and salsa were good and the table side guacamole was good. I shared a very large and strong glass of homemade sangria with my boyfriend. My meal was just average , I ordered the chicken mole and found the sauce to be really sweet; just not the best I've ever had. The best part about the place is the friendly service. If your looking for exceptional Mexican food this is not the place; perhaps the big strong drinks make the food seem more tasty read more

The food that I had there Friday night was just amazing and the atmosphere was great along with the service. Definitely would go back again.

The table service was great! We went right after Linn Co reopened indoor dining. The hood was good too. We had combination plates, and were satisfied with the portions. read more

When first entering it smelled like mold. We sat on the patio where it was cool and quiet. Food was just ok, I had the taco salad. Not a lot of flavor in the ground beef. Service was great. Not happy about the inflation fee, the two ladies at the register were not sure what it was except that they just had a new computer program added at the register. No sure. Could be an increase without reprinting menus. Debit cards are not considered cash so be aware of the price difference. read more

We really enjoy this place--excellent food, big portions, and friendly staff. We'll be coming back again next time we're in Albany.

If you're thinking about coming this place and eat, you are WILDLY mistaken. The food here was pretty decent for what it is but the wait is ABSOLUTELY not worth it. Me and my family have been waiting for 2 hours for our food. When my sister asked to get chips it took forever to get chips until they realized they had forgotten. Don't even think about coming here, turn around and go someplace else! read more

The service was OUTSTANDING. Make at your table Guacamole is my most favorite thing in the whole world. I loved it as much as I liked my meal. I had a really good blood orange margarita on the rocks. For Valentine's Day, or any day this is the place I recommend in Albany! read more

The food was amazing. The service was good at the beginning. Then it was kind of awkward. We ask for extra lettuce they charge us $2 then we asked for more tortillas due to having extra food And they charged us 2 more dollars the service Was amazing but as soon as we ask for something extra they started being rude. The music was extremely low. You could hear everyone next to you talking so we basically couldn't talk. Besides that the food was extremely good. read more

We love this place food is always good n hot the service is pretty good. Love their chips n salsa, margaritas we're pretty hood too.

We walked thru the door to a friendly greeting. As we were walked to our table I was taken aback by incredibly colorful & vibrant dining area. There is an incredible mural painted on one wall. Every table, chair, & booth is painted in stunning colors with sensational images. I probably looked like a kid in a candy store because I just kept looking around with a big grin :). The experience just kept getting better with amazing servie & shockingly huge platters loaded with deliciousness! Please go see for yourself. If you have a pulse I can't imagine you'll find it anything less than what I've described. read more

La Roca is the first place we've found since moving here that feels like home as far as flavor and comfort. I placed a to-go order and they had it packaged great in under 5 minutes. You can't beat that! read more

My wife and I went to this restaurant after seeing it for several years and passing it by. We thought that it was time to visit it. From the moment we opened the door, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The menu was pretty common for Mexican Restaurants. The waitress was very helpful in answering our questions and taking our orders. The food was very good. We were both pleasantly surprised as we tried several Mexican Restaurants in the surrounding area and were disappointed. The food was great. The service was great. Even the young man who gathered the used dishes and eating utensils did so just as we were finishing the last bite so we could sign the receipt with nothing in the way. As we were leaving the staff thanked us for coming like they wanted us to come back. We will be returning. Thank you for a pleasant evening. read more

Great people, great service, great food. Get the Chile Verde or Chile Colorado (my favorites), or try the table side guacamole if that's your thing. Lots of traditional Mexican dishes to be had on the menu, and if you have kids who are picky, they have North American fare, as well: burgers and fries if you need them. Not sure why the listing says they don't have outdoor seating: they do, and it's ample. Lots of parking as well. read more

La Roca - Mexican Near Me - Albany, Oregon

I have been to La Roca twice now and have enjoyed both times. I don't typically go to Mexican American restaurants as I always over eat and feel bloated for days afterwards.. but this one is very close to my house and the food is pretty good. It won't beat any taco truck for sure, but the food is still good. I get the fajitas.. the margaritas are good. I have had the El Jefe marg and regular. The waiters are always very nice. Couldn't ask for better service really. My mom asked for a spicy margarita and it came out a little bit too spicy for her... they took it back and made her something else with no hesitation. I'll probably be back here, I love their outside seating in the summer. I feel like very few places have that in Albany. read more

Very average food for the price. I ordered enchiladas mole and fajitas. The meat and vegetables were seasoned very well. The tortilla however was not that good. The enchiladas mole was just okay. The beans were a bit overly seasoned with salt. read more

The margaritas hit the spot and the food/atmosphere is even better! I'm originally from Texas and was missing Mexican food and haven't been able to find a place that hit just right until I found La Roca! I recommend any of the enchiladas in particular read more

2 stars because they have good food, the servers are great. The owner on the other hand is rude. I have had multiple encounters with him and he was rude to his employees and to guests. I can tell his poor employees are afraid of him. I asked for a 2oz cup for to go salsa with my left overs and the poor server clearly felt bad and embarrassed, he looked over to the owner then back to me and said he can't do that. He said I could buy a quart for 4.95. I told him no thank you. Cheap owner and he has stopped me and others I know choosing this Mexican place first. read more

I have dined in Mexican restaurants from the Texas border to Florida. This one stands out in my mind as a must stop. The service was on par with the most expensive restaurants I have visited. The establishment is clean and well maintained. The staff managed to maintain a high level of professionalism without coming across as haughty (and in my opinion that is a difficult task). So the bottom line is low prices and great food served in a down to earth setting. Would I celebrate my 50th anniversary there? No, but I would dine there every other day if Mexican food was my choice of the day. read more

The staff is very friendly and kind. I enjoy their food quite a bit, but it is a tad expensive for the quality. Overall, I would still recommend the place. read more

First time here. Had the carne asada. My go to dish in a place I haven't tried before. Dropped in an hour before close and warmly greeted. Decor was pretty good and a very Mexican feel to the place. Food was average and service was good. read more

La Roca - Camarones a la diabla - Mexican Near Me - Albany, Oregon

I stopped in for lunch and the place was empty except for 2 tables. The place was clean and the staff was prompt and nice. Sadly, the food is the worst part. The meat in the burrito had no taste whatsoever, and the sauce tastes only of tomatoes. The rice was also undercooked. read more

Was just ok. Portions seemed very small compared to other Mexican restaurants although it was the same price. Everything was just so-so. Fast service was appreciated. read more

New to the area, my quest for Mexican food to suit me got off to a slow start. My first visit to La Roca left me slightly unimpressed. My mission-style vegetarian burrito was a little too sweet. (I like guacamole but in moderation). The rice, cheese, and the pinto beans did not seem to be in the right ratios for my tastes. And, well, pinto beans are just not my favorite. In the words of my wife, "it's just not my kind of Mexican." Continuing my quest I've not found "my kind of Mexican" in Albany. So, now I special order at La Roca. I get the veggie burrito with black instead of pinto beans. I request the guacamole on the side so that I can add a little as I go. The response to my special requests and the low price garner this local business four stars. Whether via phone for carry out or at a table in the restaurant, the staff treat my requests as routine and welcome. The food is of high quality, hot and tasty. Portions are generous and the cost is about what you'd pay at a Baja Fresh or similar fast food Mexican chain but with the option of higher end platters. read more
