    Burrito roco
    Lizzy C.

    Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, went two days in a row while I was in Buellton. Will drive back here just to come to this Mexican restaurant. Also got the crispy taco and cheese enchilada plate. Both dishes were phenomenal, just an FYI their salsas are very spicy, even if they say mild.

    Steak Nachos Supreme

    If I could give 0 stars I would. Today I went to buy 3 orders of nachos supreme, and it looks like they sent me soup. There was no chips and plate was destroyed from the bottom from all 3 plates. I don't know why they don't use resistant plates they used cardboard plates and my food went through the plates as you can see in the image. I'm very disappointed I won't come back

    $12.99...enchilada and relleno combo.

    Please give the two young ladies a raise, that might improve their attitudes. If not, they should consider another line of work. The food was ok the restaurant itself is dark and dingy. Brighten up the place and freshen up the service and you might get more favorable reviews. But do you really care?

    Huge grande burrito
    Diana G.

    The gigante burrito was huge however the flavor was bland. I didn't taste a lot of guacamole and the salsas were not very good. I gave it three stars because of the size of the burrito, but the flavor is lacking. Mediocre but not terrible.

    Chips and salsa

    So many Mexican food options in the area, but Taco Roco is still so good! I prefer this spot for lunch versus dinner, as the ambiance isn't a "nice sit down meal" kinda vibe. The location is great, though. I like to sit on their patio. You order at the counter and then food is brought out to you to eat. They have really good, discounted specials on certain days of the week also. Their burritos are bomb and I recently tried their tacos, which are delicious too. Their salsa bar has a lot of options and you can get as much as you want. Their staff are super friendly. Definitely try this spot if you're in the area!

All the presentations were really nice. Unfortunately, there were concerns with the taste. The tacos looked good but they did not have much taste. The salad looked alright but they used iceberg lettuce and it did not taste good. Also the meat in the salad was not great either. It left quite a bad aftertaste. Also, I'm not sure if this was from the food, but my dad did not feel good the rest of the day. Also with service, it seemed like we were sitting farther away from a larger group of people so the servers tended to stick towards that side. We had a request for one of the servers but it took quite a long time for them to come over and check on us. I hope this restaurant will try their dishes again and make sure the taste is good before serving and come check up on their customers more often. Also, they need a few more waiters.

The line always moves fast and the food comes out quickly too. What compelled me to write this review was because I had a delicious pescado a la diabla, which was a daily special.

I also had a passionfruit margarita which was big and well balanced. The salsa bar is very good; the habanero salsa is really tasty but their old version without cream was one of the best salsa I ever had and I'm so sad they don't offer it anymore.
