From Chris' review

Located on the busy corner of Shallowford and Lee Highway, it's not easy to get into the parking lot 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. read more
