What Marley C doesn't like about Mexico Viejo:
The food was great but the price was outrageous, especially for being a small mom n pop, hole in the wall, type of restaurant. My girlfriend and I didn't eat anything crazy and our total was $55. She had a coke and the chimichanga dinner, and I had a bottled water and 3 chicken tacos (no rice or beans). We did have chips, salsa and cheese dip, but that's it. After leaving a tip, my total was over $60! No complaints o... View all feedback. What User likes about Mexico Viejo:

Tacos Rojas one of the best Mexican foods I've ever had. The restaurant is located in the market building, so no frills. But, what you don't get in frills, you...

This is a small place, without a ton of ambiance (unless you like Central American music as much as the people who work here do). It did have something to offer...

Tacos Rojas is definitely the type of taco joint I like to go to, a hole in the wall with authentic food. The place is small, but has a cool south of the border...

10/10 Highly recommended love the food and the service is great. Been going for a few years now and it has been consistently great.

Tacos Rojas, nestled within a market building, offers a vibrant immersion in authentic Mexican cuisine, celebrated for its flavorful tacos and generous portions. Diners praise the diverse menu, including standout dishes like the diablo and veggie burritos, which are as massive as they are delicious. While the prices spark some debate, many agree the quality is remarkable. The atmosphere is casual, with a no-frills vibe that contrasts with the pride in food presentation. Despite minor service delays, the friendly staff complement the tasty experience. Tacos Rojas is a must-visit for anyone seeking genuine Mexican flavors in Roanoke.
