The food here never disappoints. My favorite are the Tacos Al Pastor. Delicious. Ambience is okay, some booths and tables. Some lunch hustle and bustle like a fast food place. The counter service is always super courteous, professional and engaging. The staff are great people. Carry out or dine in, great Mexican food. read more

Always good food with great portions! Family business with great service. Been going for years and will continue to support.

Consistently good food, friendly staff. I feel like I'm in Mexico when I eat here. Popular for a quick and satisfying lunch.

Excellent restaurant, friendly staff. Went there on the recommendation of my work friends. They were on to something because it's real good. As a matter of fact I just recommended it to my friend today :) read more

Stopped by for a breakfast burrito. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The homemade chorizo was out of this world. I can't wait to try more menu items. read more

Great food. Great people. Great prices. You won't be disappointed with this family-owned and operated joint. This place is always busy for lunch but orders come out fast and hot. Can't go wrong with their tacos or burritos, but don't overlook their chile relleno, chile verde, and other specialty plates. read more

Fantastic Burritos and the most awesome Tacos . Keith

They did it again -- closed when they say they'll be open. Guess I have to call before I head over. Bad. Food still great. read more

Good Mexican food, fast service, pleasant staff, pleasing environment. The food is reasonable and well.

This place is the best authentic Mexican in the Philomath/Corvallis area; my family lives in Philomath and we have been going here for years. Although I am not the biggest fan of burritos and never had one here (my mom and brother swear by them), I loooove the tacos. They are traditional and authentic. Last time I was here I had the carnitas, carne asada and lengua tacos....delish! Go here. The price is right and the food is excellent. read more

Most menu items are decent but they strangely have no grilled jalapenos or spicy carrots and the burritos are all rice. I mean, the burrito was huge but every bite was a mouthful of rice. I realize burritos aren't typically Mexican but ease up on the starch and be a bit more generous with the protein. Americans are fat enough as it is. Pros: cold beer Cons: did I mention rice? read more

La Rockita - a bottle of modelo beer on a table - Mexican Near Me - Philomath, Oregon

The one the only the original! Best burrito around. Pastor if you like it spicy, chicken to keep it simple or they can do veg for you. No way to go wrong, even if you are feeling adventurous. read more

Traveling through for the eclipse and this place is where it's at! You have to try the veggie tacos, they were legit. We also got the chips and salsa and the salsa came out in such cute little bowls. All of the staff here were also so so friendly! If you are looking for a quality bite of mexican food, this is the stop! read more

La Rockita - The guacamole, salsa, and bean dip! The salsa is so fresh and delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Philomath, Oregon

See all

Good food for a good price. I had the flautas--great portion size and well cooked. The only thing that would make this place better is Margaritas. read more

This is my favorite mexican joint in town! The service is great and the food is consistently good! Very nice family who run the business.

Super Grande Burrito... fantastic! Quick hot and great food! The steak, chicken and spicy pork were a great combo and everything put inside there food was awesome, new stop for burritos worth a 30 minute drive! read more

6 stars. This is the original La Roca - or La Rockita as it is now called. They now have restaurants in Corvallis, Newport, Tangent and Eugene, and maybe others that I don't know about. This place is awesome. Best burritos I've had hands down. I live in California now but when I come home I almost always get at least one burrito. I've never been to another place that comes close to La Roca. I always get the super chicken burrito. It has rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, salsa, chicken, and probably some other stuff. When I was in high school and on the swim team I would get the Super Grande - their biggest burrito. It has 3 kinds of meat (chicken, beef, and spicy carnitas). Me and my friends were curious so we weighed one - 2.0 lbs. Almost a kilo of goodness. The only downside is that they aren't super cheap anymore, but they are still very affordable and they also moved from a little shack to a full-fledged restaurant, so I'm sure their lease went up. Don't miss it if you are in the area. read more

edit: After writing this, I realized that Yelp is still calling the 9th street location 'La Roca' ... it is going by the name La Rockita now too. Same people - presumably similar food. The pros: Great prices, wonderful food, great staff. The cons: The 9th street location I've been two twice has no air conditioning (or didn't). After eating there last summer, I swore never to go back, it was so unpleasantly hot. However, I ate there again and had some really awesome Chili Verde Enchliadas - they were on special. They were some of the best mexican fare I can recall ever eating. So - 1 star for the first time, 5 stars for this last time = 3 stars. I'll update again later if I get a chance to go again. Hopefully it'll be cool inside. Or, I'll just have to be sure not to go on very hot days. :) read more

Wonderful food and very friendly staff. Elsa gave us great recommendations on what to try. Kind of wish we lived closer....

Can a place be given NO stars? They close early all the time! NEVER open when posted. Dont waste your time or make a special trip. They will be closed. No food? Sorry, no stars. read more

My bf is a regular and I can understand why. Simple without any fussiness that makes them deliciously authentic. Fast and friendly service. Easily had to order more after scarfing down our tacos! read more

La Rockita - Asada, pollo, and lengua tacos - Mexican Near Me - Philomath, Oregon

Great customer service. The food on the other hand, well, how can I put this nicely? La Rockita is for white folks who don't know any better. My order consisted of a chimichanga platter. The chimichanga was loaded with chunky chunks of chicken and American cheese. There was no Mexican flavor in there. The beans and guacamole were runny. Disappointed of this place. read more

Fresh looking and tasting food at great prices. We had veggie burrito and pastor taco based on prior recommendations. The pastor taco was excellent. The veggie burrito was good also, but the taco out shined it. I would like to try the fajitas next time. Very clean place with friendly service. Kind of a double or triple storefront format of restaurant. read more

Yummy salsa, yummy steak street tacos, and yummy taco salad!!!! Service was so fast we barely sat down and food was hot and fresh!!!!

Best Mexican food around. I especially love their carnitas tacos. Their green salsa is my favorite.

Everytime we come threw philomath it is our stop. Some of the best necican food I have ever had the carnitas are amazing. It's not much for eye appeal but the food makes up for it. read more

Everything I've had here is great. Service is fast and friendly. The food is delicious. Try the mole sauce it is Amazing!

My coworker and I come here at least once a week (9th st location). She always gets a bean and cheese burrito, and they are simple and crazy delicious. I have tried a lot of the menu and have loved all but the red enchilada sauce. The green mole they use for enchiladas however is SO good. Check it out. You may not love everything but you'll find something to knock your socks off! If you like al pastor, get the tacos!! read more

This was by far the best quick serve Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. I stop by to have lunch while I was working in Philomath. The food was fresh and fast. The portion was very generous. Highly recommended read more

Coming to Oregon from Texas, I searched for a long time before finding this fine burrito shack (now actually a storefront) and thus slaking my thirst (resolving my hunger?) for Mexican food. A carnitas torta or burrito (the small is plenty big) washed down with a Jamaica aqua fresca makes for a tasty and cheap meal. If you're on your way to the coast from Corvallis, or back from a hike up Mary's Peak, stop in. read more

We were passing through and decided to try it out. So happy we did! Amazing service and the food was great. All the family is happy! I had the asade chimichanga and the hubby and daughter had tacos. All fantastic. read more

Moved from So Cal to Philomath Oregon and was jonesing for some good Mexican grub. La Rockita has NO ambiance, but it's clean and the food is the real deal. Tacos de Carnitas are to die for. Burritos are huge. Note that in the winter, it closes at 6 pm, not 7 pm. read more

After being on the road for two weeks, we were very pleased to find this restaurant. The food is very good, and the staff are friendly.

A favorite stop for me on my way home (I live in Philomath, work in Corvallis) for many years now. I've had several of their dishes but my main staple is chicken tacos... my absolute favorite! Everything is fresh and tasty, service is always great. My only gripe is parking, not the best when things are slow and horid when they're busy. read more

Burritos are mostly rice. Suoer Nachos are not super. Not a good portion and the chips were stale. (LaRockita on 9th in Corvallis has excellent size and taste nachos). Not a good experience for the price we paid. The only positives were they were fast and friendly. read more

Poor service. Lazy employees with bad attitudes. Was a long time customer. Will never eat there again.

The Philomath La Rockita is where it's at. If you are hungry get the veggie or super burrito. If you're just slightly hungry then get two or three tacos. The flavor in the meat and beans are really good and better than other La Rockitas around, I think. read more
