I've spent years in this town as a college student and after, yet for some reason I've never had…read morethe opportunity to eat here before. So finally after all these years, I came here with my dad. Service was fast and helpful. There are many tables and places to sit. They have a large menu too. I ordered the Beef Chimichangas with all the sides, and my dad had the Chicken Fajitas. Food came out pretty quick. I will say, the portion size is incredible. The price is reasonable depending on the time you come for lunch or dinner, and they give you so much. For me, I love all the sides and some places tend to give a meager amount, but not this place. And they didn't even cheap out on the guacamole amount too. I had some to take home at the end, so I was happy about that. Although the food was decent and plentiful, I will say that it lacked flavor for me. It wasn't amazing in comparison to all the Mexican places I've tried around the area. And also I guess from eating Mexican food in California, I have a high standard. Like I reiterated before, great portion size but a little disappointing regarding the flavor. It felt like it was missing something, maybe a little salt but also something more that I can't put my finger on. I'm not sure if I would come back.

Chips: Average…read more Salsa: A tad better than average for Mexican restaurants in the South. Food: Maybe 3 stars. At least they served an adequate amount of sauce with the enchilada, something that doesn't happen nearly enough. Service: 1-2 stars. Out of the four employees I encountered, only one managed a fake smile, and none gave a happy hoo-haw about whether I had a good experience or not. Value: 4 stars for my $5.99 lunch special. Ambience: Average.

I have friends that will drive from Chattanooga to have lunch up here with me. How good this place is. I guess because it's in a little nook behind sonic. It's Cleveland's best kept secret. You definitely get your moneys worth.

Good food, good service, good happy hour specials 7 days a week…read more I always ask at Mexican restaurants if they have a hotter salsa than the one brought to the table with the chips. La Altena's was definitely one of the better ones I've had. Not super hot and a very good taste. My chicken fajitas were very good-almost all chicken with very little bell peppers, tomatoes and onions. It was a lot of food so I've got a lot for tomorrow too. I'll surely come back here.

Located on the busy corner of Shallowford and Lee Highway, it's not easy to get into the parking…read morelot unless you are going east on Lee Highway. Any other direction requires you to chance turning left across six traffic lanes very close to the intersection or going past and doing a U-turn. The third option is to turn left into one of the other strip malls further down Lee and then a couple right turns gets you into the Taco Roc parking lot. Once you get into the lot, there is a decent amount of parking with some adjacent to the building and more across a traffic lane. There are several handicapped spaces near the entrance as well. Walking in, you enter a small waiting area. We were greeted almost immediately and told the hostess we wanted to place a to go order. She quickly gave us menus and told us to sit while we decided what we wanted. If you are dining in, there is a good amount of seating to the right of the waiting area and another smaller area on the left behind a wall. The ordering counter is to the rear of the waiting area. There is a large menu (with pictures) above the counter, but many items in the menu also have photos. This is also where you would pick up take-out orders. There is a salsa bar in the waiting area to the right of the door. We took a sample of each of the six salsas to eat with our food while we were waiting. All had a different flavor and varying levels of heat. One was mild, one was pretty hot, and the others were in between. All were very good and could compliment many different dishes. Our order took 15-20 minutes to be brought to us. It was well packaged in styrofoam containers and nothing spilled on the way home. The Arroz Taco Roc had steak, chicken, and shrimp as a fajita mix. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and was not rubbery even after the drive home. The other proteins were also perfectly cooked and well seasoned. This was an outstanding dish. The Chimichanga was ordered with a mix of steak and chorizo. The protein was well spread throughout the chimichanga along with the other ingredients. The tortilla was not as crispy as typical, but this is most likely due to the delay in the ride home and would not be noticed for those dining in. While the refried beans were nothing special, the rice was surprisingly good. It had an excellent flavor and was cooked perfectly. I added the pico salsa from the salsa bar and could have made that a meal by itself. The menu is pretty extensive and covers almost any possible taste or preference. I look forward to working my way through the menu in many future visits.

Right down the middle on this one. Ambience was exactly as expected for a Mexican Resteraunt. I…read moredid not notice anything diry, as some others have commented on. My food was not very good. I ordered steak fajitas, TONS of fat, but worse, it was mostly green peppers, nothing appeared pan seared, it was almost like it should have been served over rice as a chineese dish. Not very Fajita-ey at all. My wife's was excellent though, a chicken taco salad. The kicker was the wait. We got there just before noon and there were only like two tables seated yet. After we had ordered the place filled up. And many, many tables seated well after us were served first. It wasnt particularly a long wait, long enough for us to be worried about getting in and out in an hour for lunch, but we also very much noticed everyone getting served well before us. And yes, both our dishes are on the express lunch menu, so it wasn't that. Overall it was fine, but we will try somewhwere else next time we are in town.
