Forget Amigo's, El Meson, Cancun, and the various Las Margaritas. Taco Roc has your combination plate.
The menu lists 40 items and offers a huge range of food, from the tacos, tamales, gorditas, and enchiladas to ribs and steak, as well as a few surprises--yes, #37 (Mojarra) is a whole fried fish, head included. They usually have a few aguas frescas to choose from (including that delightful king of beverages, the cinnamon-rice drink horchata) and flan or other desserts. It really is a menu with something for everyone.
I really like this place. It's a clean, casual environment, everyone is nice, and the wait is relatively short. The food is true comfort food, it's fresh and delicious, and I haven't had a disappointing meal yet. The food is definitely a few steps above most of the area's Mexican fare. (Contrast this with the Cancun right down the street, which is dirty, run-down, and has the dubious distinction of serving me the worst chorizo ever.) As far as local Latin American restaurants go, I'd rank Taco Roc right behind Conga Latin in terms of quality.
Taco Roc is my go-to for combination Mexican. It will take me a while to eat my way through all 40, but I'm working on it. Maybe I'll take the plunge and go after #37 on my next visit.
