    Al pastor taco 10/10
    Trendy D.

    Highly recommend and very yummmmyyy!!!!! I really enjoyed my Arroz Con tejo (ACP). I added veggies like onions, mushrooms, peppers to it. It came with chicken, shrimp, and beef on a bed of rice and melt goooeey cheese. SUPER GOOD!!! My boyfriend got a burrito and a Al pastor taco and I loved his food as well. Overall, GREAT food!!! The service was quick the food came out super fast. Portions are huge and prices are great. It was $30 for 2 entrees, one beverage, one taco. Ambiance is super casual. They have a lot of good looking cost effective drinks. Parking lot of small.

    Carne asada burrito

    Solid place in Roanoke. If you're looking for great mexican food, look no further. The Arroz Con Pollo that my girlfriend ordered was the best I've had. The cheese was on point and elevated the dish. I ordered a carne asada burrito and an al pastor taco. The burrito is definitely a lot larger than expected for $8. It was so good though and had guac on it. The Al pastor taco tasted much closer to an authentic taco than I thought I'd get in Roanoke. The service was good for a Friday night. We showed up around 9pm and there were a handful of other tables taken. But we seated ourselves right away. The food came out quick and the staff was super friendly. The ambiance is very casual. There's a few TVs that had some college football on. Overall a great place to eat. I know we'll be back when we're in Roanoke again.

    We stopped for lunch, and it was adequate. The place is very clean and modern, and while the parking lot is cramped, the booths and tables are spacious and nice. My main point of dissatisfaction was that the food and salsa/white sauce was fairly bland. I think it's a safe place to eat, but I probably wouldn't seek it out again if I'm in the area.

    Lunch chicken fajitas

    We came here for lunch on our way back from hiking in Roanoke! We were able to meet up with a friend and have a lovely meal. 4 of us were able to be seated immediately on a Sunday ~2 pm. They had lots of good lunch specials! I ordered the fajitas and they were very large! I left very full. There are complementary chips and dips that we all enjoyed very much. Inside is cute with a decent amount of seating. Waitress was kind and attentive. The fajitas came with lots of beans, rice, and sides. Very good price for the portion! Overall a great meal!

    The building sign of the restaurant.

    For some time now, I have heard of a small new Mexican restaurant located on 2626 Broadway Ave, next to the Honey Baked Ham Company. Today, a friend of mine invited me to dinner at precisely that restaurant. When we arrived, we found out that it was located in a relatively new two store strip mall next to the Honey Baked Ham Company. The restaurant was on the left side of the strip mall building and had a nice, designed entrance with a colorful yet simple sign high above which read: "PUEBLO CHICO MEXICAN GRILL". As we entered the glass doors, we found a relatively small yet very clean and tastefully decorated Mexican restaurant. It had light colored hardwood floors and booths as well as tables and chairs. These were in the front and right of the area, while the bar with stools was on the left side. We were greatly by the host, taken to one of the tables up front, and given a copy of the menu. It was very colorful and with a wide variety of drinks and food but contained to photographs of the food listed on the menu. However, we found high above in one of the corners of the place a large screen TV with rotating pictures of several items from the menu. Our server arrived with a big welcome smile and a basket of nice warm chips and two little bowls, one with salsa and the other with some sort of melted cheese. They all tasted delicious. To drink, we just ordered iced water. For dinner, my friend ordered the Chori Pollo as the main entrée, and I ordered the Molcajete: A traditional Mexican stone bowl filled with grilled chicken, steak, shrimp, Chorizo, sliced franks, zucchini, onions, a Chile toreado, and queso fresco. My friend's was served with tortillas and salad, and mine with tortillas and charro beans. The food arrived and was good quality, abundant and well seasoned and cooked. We both thoroughly enjoyed it, and our server brought us some more chips with salsa and came by to check on us at the appropriate times. For dessert, both of us ordered a Chimi Cheesecake. You can read in the photo of the dessert menu what it contained and see in the photographs I posted with this review how amazing it looked and also tasted. As we were eating, there were many other customers who arrived to eat, and others left as they finished eating. This restaurant truly has the qualities of a 5 Star restaurant. It is clean, decorated in good taste, with an extensive menu, friendly atmosphere, amazing tasting food, and excellent customer service. I highly recommend it to all those lovers of Mexican cuisine and to those who want to taste what it's really like.

    Pollo picoso
    Mike P.

    A decent little Mexican restaurant conveniently located a stones throw from the highway, Pueblo Chico was warm, inviting, and efficient. I really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, but I have no idea what the white sauce they served was. It was kind of sweet. As in sweet, not sweeeeet! The pollo pico so was really good, and the jalapeño's revenge margarita was fantastic! A worthy stop for Mexican food.

    Salsas. The red salsa and creamy green salsa had good kick to them.

    The food and various sauces were amazing. The service and aesthetics were every bit as good as the food.

    Passing through Roanoke on the way to Mobile, AL looking for a simple Mexican bite to eat and we stumbled on this gem. I am so thankful for Yelp because it helps you discover amazing restaurants such as this one. We stopped by on a Thursday afternoon, plenty of parking and the place was packed for good reason. I decided on two tacos, one chorizo and a Carne Asada. Loved the presentation of how it comes out, fresh lime, a roasted jalapeño. Some of the best tacos I've ever had, also have sauce options. I got the house made jalapeño sauce. Tacos were stuffed to max, came with diced onions and fresh cilantro, both were exceptional. My wife got the Arroz Con Pollo which she said was one of the best meals she's ever had. Came with a generous portion of chicken over a bed of rice with queso, chicken was so tender and flavorful. Bonus points for them also providing each table with chips and homemade salsa, this should be normalized everywhere, loved those as well. Our server was friendly offering great options, good vibes and seating inside, they have a tv that displays their dishes. LOVED this place.

    Cheese dip, salsa, and the mystery white ranch type sauce
    Devon E.

    After tackling an 8 mile hike at McAfees Knob, we were looking for some easy and delicious take-out to enjoy in our Pjs at our AirB&B. Our hosts actually had this Mexican restaurant listed as one of their favorite local spots. The ordering process was easy and the food ready quickly. While the exterior did not look like anything special, you got a wave of good smells when you opened the door. Have you noticed that some Mexican places in the South provide a complementary sweetish ranch type sauce with the chips and salsa? We realized Pubelo Chico was one of those places when we opened our takeout. I have never gotten the appeal, but I guess some like it. I always try it but end up rejecting and just sticking with the salsa. Their salsa was flavorful and the chips nice and crispy. We also ordered some cheese dip because we were feeling deserving of gluttony after the long hike. It was standard cheese dip, but it surely hit the spot that night. It apparently was National Burrito Day, so we both decided to order some. When we opened our to-go containers we both agreed the presentation of these burritos was not great, but who cares if they have taste good--which they did. I got the Fajita Burrito (10-inch flour tortilla filled with grilled chicken or steak, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Topped with melted cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and diced tomatoes). They allowed me to make it "texanas" style and have chicken, steak, and shrimp which was awesome. Meat and veggies were cooked well and had nice authentic flavor. Burrito was a good size and filling but was a bit disappointed it didn't come with any real sides like rice or beans to complement. Nor did the side salad include guacamole, which I prefer to sour cream as it adds some flavor. Sour cream, lettuce, and diced tomatoes are all bland accompaniments. My husband got the Burrito de Maria (flour tortilla filled with grilled chicken. Topped with melted cheese, mole sauce, and pico de gallo. Served with rice). He loves mole sauce and can be picky about its preparation, but he thought theirs was great. He also commented on how good the seasoning on their chicken was. Rice was cooked well and plentiful. We both hurt after eating so much, but isn't that the best kind of pain (and worth it) after a yummy meal?

    Chips, Salsa and white sauce
    Brad H.

    Went here for lunch today and after a hard tile finding it bc it is hidden behind a Uhaul dealership we parked in a lot across the street (there is not much of a parking lot for the business who shares their lot with a Honeybaked Ham store. Upon walking in, I noted that they had a wall of booths, a bar and some tables for larger groups. We were greeted by a very sweet and personable hostess who asked us to wait so she could seat us in a booth. Once seated, our server greeted us promptly and took our drink orders while another employee brought chip, salsa and something they call white sauce (kind of like a ranch dressing with a sweet taste). My wife ordered the shrimp flautas and I got a number 12 lunch special (2 beef enchiladas and a Chile relleno). The food came out quickly and was well prepared. Everything tasted great. When it was time to pay, the sever brought the check and I walked to the register to pay wit the same kind server from earlier. Bill was super reasonable. Great lunch. This place appeared to be popular with locals for lunch and was slammed when we left.

    Great food and wonderful service! Our server, Ester, was super sweet and attentive. We arrived at dinner time on Saturday evening and they got us in very quickly and our food was out in no time. Definitely recommend this place when in Roanoke.

Even though there are several Tacos Rojas around, each one is owned and operated by a different family member, with the same menu, but slightly different ambience and decor. What I liked about this restaurant was the modern yet simple exterior architectural design, and small but warm and cozy interior. Its location is also very beautiful, where from the back window you can see a beautiful landscape surrounded by mountains. A friend and I decided to go visit this restaurant for an early dinner the day after 5 de mayo and overall we weren't disappointed. We were fortunate enough to have been greeted and welcomed by the owner himself who was very friendly and kind. We sat at a table near the back of the restaurant and at the time were the only customers there. A basket of Tortilla Chips and Salsa was brought to our table and they were very fresh and delicious. My friend ordered a dish with two Chimichangas, one beef and one chicken, and I ordered the Carnitas Burrito. The food was very good and my burrito was humongous, although its temperature was somewhat lukewarm and this detracted from its flavor and rating for this restaurant. There is no reason for an empty restaurant to be be serving lukewarm food. For dessert we both had a slice of their Flan, which had the right consistency, flavor, and temperature. Overall this was a very clean and cozy restaurant, with a small bar, in a beautiful location, with an appropriate decor, serving quality Mexican food. If the manager listens to my constructive feedback and takes action, I would no hesitate in returning and highly recommending the restaurant for its food and great service.

After I found out from a Mexican friend of mine that it just had opened a few days ago, I immediately made plans to go visit and try it out. And what I discovered by doing so far exceeded my highest expectations of the restaurant. I arrived at the restaurant on a late afternoon, after quickly finding it with the help of its exterior bright yellow color and colorful restaurant signs: one in front of its front patio dining area, and another high above on the building itself. The restaurant has a parking lot for the convenience of its customers, and the main entrance is through a door on the right side of the building. As one enters its door, one can't help but notice the cleanliness of the place, which its interior design is in the minimalist decor, with walls painted golden-yellow, black ceiling, with black furniture, and imitation cherry wood hardwood floors. No wall nor other decorations. Its elegance is reflected in its simplicity of decor and in the beautiful bar glassware with thick quality glass and blue highlights, displayed on the bar shelves with mirror background. Next to the bar located in back of the restaurant are a pair of rotating doors that lead to the kitchen. As soon as I entered the door of the restaurant, I was immediately greeted by the host who gave me a warm welcome, asked me to pick the table of my choice, and handed me a copy of the menu and took my drink order of a glass of Iced Orchata non-alcoholic drink. Then my server, Ruth came by, warmly greeted me, answered some questions of the menu I had, and took my order. By the way, the menu had a great selection of familiar Mexican food items and some unique ones as well. As appetizer I ordered Tortilla Chips with Guacamole dip. As the main entrée I ordered the Molcajete. I invite the readers of this review to view my photographs of the menu and of the food enjoyed for a more detailed picture of my food. After all, it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. The food was amazingly delicious. In presentation, quality of items, seasoning, and cooked to perfection. Simply, a Mexican culinary delight. For dessert, I ordered the house Tiramisu. Amazing, from a Mexican restaurant. In conclusion, I highly recommend this one of a kind Mexican restaurant. This family-owned business has it all to receive a Five Star review. Entrepreneurial owners with very creative imagination and wonderful personalities. I was able to chat with them before leaving. A distinguished yet relaxing ambiance. Wonderful menu. And excellent customer service. All together contributing to an extraordinary dining experience.

The family…read moreis from Jalisco, Mexico, and after some time of sharing their native cuisine through their food truck, around March of this year, they opened this brick and mortar restaurant in the Southwest neighborhood of Roanoke, Virginia. I literally found out about this place today, and immediately made plans to go visit for dinner. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Birrieria La Vaca in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. Jalisco is a state in western Mexico. Known for its capital city, Guadalajara (the second-largest city in Mexico), and its cultural contributions, including mariachi music, charades (Mexican rodeos), the Mexican Hat dance, the wide-brimmed sombrero, tequila, and birria, a traditional meat stew. Its culinary scene is diverse, with dishes like birria (a savory meat stew) and tortas ahogadas (a pork-filled sandwich soaked in sauce) being local favorites. Sweet treats like jericalla is a popular dessert, similar to a flan or custard, with a slightly caramelized or burnt top. Tequila, made from the juice of the blue agave cactus, is Jalisco's best known product. The restaurant Birrieria La Vaca is located on 5th Street, Southwest Roanoke, in a renovated old building. Its front of the building is painted with a unique, dark, bright, red color, so you won't miss it when driving by. As you enter the first thing that catches you attention is their beautiful renovated original hardwood floors and a section of original tiles in great condition. Most of the walls are painted dark, bright red, with one dark red, and one white. The place is very clean with some booths and some tables and chairs, and even a counter area for ones dining pleasure. It has been modernized with two large screen TVs behind the counter. One is continously showing color images of the food from the menu, and the other shows a video with scenes of Guadalajara, Mexico. Then on the two side walls are two gigantic size screen TVs which at the time were showing a soccer game. It also had a modern TouchTunes Jukebox on one of the walls, with a touchscreen so you can select and purchase songs that will be played in the restaurant. When I arrived a friendly young lady with a big smile greeted and welcomed me to the restaurant. She took me to one of the booths and handed me a copy of the menu. Later I found out that she was not only my server but also the daughter of the owner. We talked a little about Jalisco, Mexico, the place where her family is from, and then after she brought me an Horchata that I had ordered to drink along with a glass of water, I ordered the Queso Fundido Con Chorizo appetizer to enjoy with my chips. And for my main course I ordered a California Burrito al Pastor (with marinated pork). The food was all amazingly delicious and different from other Mexican restaurants; they had that homemade flavor to it. Their chips were fresh and reasantly fried. Thin and tasty. Their salsa was a bit too watery rather than thick like in other Mexican restaurants. You could tell that the tortilla used to make the burrito was made in-house because of its flavor and texture. And the pork was seasoned to perfection. For dessert I had their traditional Jericallas. It was served in the aluminum container where it was made. Nothing fancy, but tasty and sweet. Before I left I got to meet the other daughter who also was working as a server, as well as a cousin of theirs who was visiting, and their father. I had a great time and an extraordinary dining experience. Definitely I would recommend this restaurant and I expect to return soon to try out more of the items from their menu.

Little did I imagine that this place was where it all started. Afterwards, after doing my research I found out the whole story about this place. Primary, that it was that it was the first Taco Rojas Restaurant, and where it all started. How appropriate that to conclude Hispanic Heritage Month, I ended up eating and reviewing this Hispanic Historic Restaurant in the history of Taco Rojas. Tacos Rojas was founded by Octavio Rojas, who moved to America from Pueblo, Mexico, 20 years ago. He opened this first restaurant on 13th Street, 12 years ago which had been a convenience store, and has since then expanded to six locations in the Roanoke Valley, including a location in Salem, which features a party room.The family-run business serves authentic Mexican food and has seen growth, including during the pandemic, partly due to its popularity for takeout. The business is family operated, with Octavio's wife, daughter, brother, and other relatives all involved in the restaurants. As I went inside, even though you can tell the place was once a convenience store because it still contained a wide display refrigerator with bottles of bottled drinks, it was clean and well-maintained, painted with lively colors, and different posters on the wall.The small dining area contained a combination of tables and chairs and some booths.The ambiance was warm and relaxed. One that made you feel at home. A young lady came out to greet me and gave me a warm welcome. I took a seat in the first booth and she handed me the menu and took my drink order. I ordered an Horchata. Afterwards I ordered a Carnitas Burrito as my main entrée. While I waited my server brought a basket of Chips and Salsa. Even though in the menu it was listed as an appetizer, it seemed like the first one was complementary. When the food arrived it was amazingly delicious. The shredded pork inside the burrito was seasoned and cooked to perfection, it was nice and hot, and the sauces on top were very tasty without being too spicy. Now I better understood how the humble beginning of Taco Rojas in this place had taken off and grown so quickly. Octavio's mother's recipes for the food were not only authentic Mexican food but delicious. They gave the cuisine here that special magical touch of satisfaction the first time you came, that made you want to come back and tell your family and friends about it. Sometimes it is in places like these that one can have the most extraordinary dining experiences.

    Word of mouth is still the best way to find out about new restaurants that have opened in the area…read more Just yesterday a friend of mine told me about this new Mexican restaurant that had just opened last Thursday. So this evening, I headed towards the restaurant to be one of the first ones to try it out and review it. After being awarded the NC Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Santa Lucia Mexican Restaurant, in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. The previous restaurant sign "El Toreo Mexican Restaurant" was still up. The new owners didn't even bother to cover it up. They just put a small vinyl banner sign under it that read "Santa Lucia Mexican Restaurant OPEN NOW!!!" Not too professional you would think, but the most important thing in a new restaurant is it's ambiance, its food, and its customer service. So I arrived to its parking lot in my Lexus and parked my car. The place was empty and I could see the employees looking out the glass door to see who just parked and was approaching the restaurant. It was me. When I walked in the Host gave me a warm greeting and asked me if I would prefer a booth or a table. I chose a booth. As he went away to call my sever while I looked at the menu, I also was observing the interior of the restaurant. It was clean and comfortable, with a minimalist decor. My server, Jasmin, a friendly Puerto Rican young lady, greeted me with a smile and asked me what I wanted to drink. I asked her if the bartender could make me a Virgen Mango Margarita. When it arrived it looked nice but tasted like water with mango flavor so I was not too impressed with their drinks. To eat I ordered a Fajitas Santa Lucia for one. While I waited I ate their chips with salsa. The chips were fresh and crispy and the salsa was just the right texture with the right ingredients. When the Fajitas Santa Lucia came out, they were sizzling hot, served on a sizzling hot skillet. They had grilled chicken strips, steak, chorizo and carnitas, along with green peppers and onions. On a separate plate, it had rice, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and refried beans. I missed the pico de gallo that this dish is mostly served with in top of the line Mexican restaurants and the scoop of guacamole. But the Fajitas were made with quality meats, and with a green salsa that they brought me, everything tasted very good. For dessert I ordered a Xango with a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream. It looked somewhat good, but the batter was soggy. It tasted like it was pre-fried or cooked ahead of time. When I asked for a glass of iced water, the water tasted bad, just from having a sip. This is something I can't stand in a restaurant, and I sincerely recommended that they get a water filter. This new Mexican restaurant has potential of becoming a very good one. If the owner pays attention to my informal recommendations in this review and takes action to implement my suggestions. I truly wish he / she does, because one of its best assets are its friendly and hospitable employees.
