La Roca - Philadelphia

I went 2x in person and had good experiences. They have a great vibe. I ordered take out via ToastTab this evening and was given chicken instead of Carne asada in a burrito but was charged an extra $6.00 for it. Also, there was an automatic 18% gratuity charge which I did not find appropriate as we did not dine in. I thought it may be due to using the app but it was not. I did not even see it until after it was paid.

The owner and his family, along with the staff, are fantastic. The restaurant has a vibrant and fun atmosphere with delicious food and refreshing drinks. There is plenty of seating, including an outdoor deck. They also have drag karaoke on Wednesdays! The veggie burrito, which was vegan, was delicious.

First time visiting this restaurant and I watch how all the Caucasian was served before the African American people. I watch how Caucasian was seated after African American and their food and drinks were served to them in a timely matter... We sat for an hour before anyone came and took our order and drink order and it has been another hour and we still have not received anything.

Waitress was very nice. However the drinks had more ice than liquor. When I asked for a manager it wasn’t one working. Also, we waited for our food for 40 mins just to find out it was only one person cooking in the kitchen. This was my first time here and I was not really impressed

Whoever bought this place and made the menu seems like they “love” the idea of Mexican food but has just been introduced to something other than ground beef hard shell tacos. I used to work here years ago and I came back to see how it was and literally every aspect of this place took a downgrade. The quality and taste of the food was lower than other cheaper “Mexican” options (the cactus cantina. The tequila list used to have interesting and not as common tequilas to now be replaced with a celebrity endorsed list of spirits. The service was great, the prices aren’t too bad either but the food, cocktails, and menu is absolutely terrible. The burrito I had was easily the worst I have ever been served. It was astonishing how little flavor something packed with so many different ingredients can have. You know whoever is making this menu knows nothing about food when they include lettuce in a warm burrito. Luckily me and my partner both got food poisoning from this so the food didn’t have to stay in our stomachs much longer after we left.
