    Cuautehmoc Blanco Torta
    Jose C.

    I've been to their other location on Montrose, but I came to this one because I thought it was still closed due to Covid. Fortunately, for me their both open now and even more importantly, their food is consistent and taste phenomenal at both locations. They're known for their tortas named after either soccer players or socce My wife ordered their Cuauhtemoc Blanco, which came with Milanesa, ham, and lettuce. It was ok, but the highlight of the night was their Diego Maradona. RIP Maradona. I've had this torta before and I fell in love with it. Usually I like to try other things, not this place. No with this torta. The torta comes with al pastor, ham, pineapple, lettuce, mayonnaise and cheese. The al pastor is so tender and they put a lot of meat in it. Put some hot salsa in it and every bite with some of that pineapple tastes so delicious. Not sure if I'll come to this location since the other location is now open again and a lot closer, it this place is definitely a must try. The staff is friendly and the pricing is very fair. Honor Diego Maradona by tying that torta. Rest In Peace Diego Maradona.

    Food here is AMAZING! We have a fave torta place in Cabo and this is close to that restaurant. Steak is delicious, all veggies inside are yum, and bread is good too. Service is great and ambiance is just the best vibe.

    I love this place. Their food is absolutely delicious, filling and affordable. They do have so many options on their menu and I get very overwhelmed, but that's my only thing ...will continue to come back here for yummy and fast food. Ambiance is like a sporty, futbol club and service is always great. I always appreciate the fresh cut avocado in my nachos!

    Neighborhood staple. Rocky's Tacos has some of the best Mexican rice in the city. Actually seasoned with very good flavor. I just got the birria with a side of rice. Sat in for once and enjoyed my meal, it was pretty good! They give you a lot of meat and it is pretty flavorful! The service was okay, they were busy with a lot of to go orders but I didn't need much so it was good.

(inquire about the 4% service charge added) No rice or beans with any of my parties' dishes, not sure if that is an option. Time to be seated was less than five minutes for a party of four around 2:20 PM on a Sunday; busier times or days enforce their 90 minute time limit policy per table. The food was well seasoned, wish I tasted it a little more on the meat itself, yet all the vegetables tasted crisp and fresh. If you are looking to have intimate conversations be prepared to speak a lot louder, the DJ booth by the front keeps it pretty lively, but difficult to hold conversations across the table. Open authentic Mexican soda is always refreshing, and if you're looking for a place that has soft serve margaritas this is one of them. If you notice and unusual wait time or slow service please make your choice accordingly as I started to notice it was a case by case basis like some of the previous reviews had mentioned.

I must admit that I had low expectations because quite frankly, I have not enjoyed Mexican food outside of Mexico or California. However, we were hungry, and it was near where we were staying, so I decided we should check it out, and I am so glad we did! The food was great. Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try. Everything was delicious and devoured by all! We were so full but the owner talked us into the chocoflan, and we did not regret trying it. It was soooo good! Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous. It is a small establishment, and it gets a good amount of people, so I assume that there are waits during peak hours. I highly recommend Sabroso! And we plan to return the next time we are in the area.
