roscoe's tacos

very deceiving.. i heard alot of hype about roscoe's tacos being incredible, so being a huge fan ofmexicanfood, i of course had to try it. i was so very, very disappointed. the quality of food is extremely disappointing. all they do is go to a grocery store and buy normal shredded cheese, bags of tortilla chips, and throw it all together. this place taste no different than anything you would make at home. it reminded me alot of taco salad day in high school. boring and bland.

o yeah.... duh!! the absolute best thing roscoe's offers is their sauce!!! i need at least a half a bottle of cinn city slicker on every bite! that's the biggest reason we love it so much! there's a bit of everything and the names are fabulous... can not eat anything without trying at least one, if not all of the sauces. yuuum!

its a simple yes.... everyone i know frequents roscoe's. people who bash the workers or their music choice should probably just go somewhere else... rude! focus on the food and service-- the food is simply great. so simple yet done perfect every time. not chain. i get fast friendly service and my food is never made incorrectly. maybe not "mexican" but we call it americanmexican:) and its the first thing that pops into our heads when we want to go out and grab something. roscoes, however is not the cheapest on the block, and for simple ingredients i only wonder why, but you definitely get your money's worth in size.. one john henry bean burrito fills me so full i have to squeeze in my cowboy cookie! thanks roscoe for opening up another franchise closer to home!!!!

the service was very friendly, and the street style tacos are pretty good. definitely only come here if you're in the mood for tex-mex style tacos, they don't have a very authenticmexicanmenu. however, the variety of hot sauces and amount of ingredients you get is rather impressive for this local indiana chick 👌🏼

i got the #4 special (choice of taco and side plus 20 oz drink) with the shredded beef taco and spanish rice, with city slicker and texas brushfire hot sauce. the shredded beef is the way to go, in my opinion. the spanish rice could have had more flavor, but it wasn't bad. after tax, my total came to $6.04, and it was a very filling meal for me.

if you're looking for realmexicanfood this is not the place for you. this is about as americanized as it gets. nevertheless, the food is still good and the service was fair! it was definitely adorable for the amount of food you get as well. i would try this place again.

what is this stuff? besides tasty, that is.. roscoe's had me regretting my decision to get their food from the moment i stopped in until the moment i lifted one of their nachos to my mouth. what happened after that left me confused, so i quickly ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror. "who is this?" i asked my reflection, shocked at the fact that his taste buds were telling him that roscoe's tacos, despite its appearance, actually tastes good.

let's back up. first of all, i came in for the first time on a thursday night. the place was packed as in, no seats available. the heat on the inside was almost as bad as the outside. "saving money on the a/c" i thought to myself. "i wonder what else they're saving money on..." obviously not decor or even general cleaning supplies, as the place had a dingy and dirty appearance. i should've turned around and walked away. but the reviews! the reviews! they all said it was good! but why on earth would a taco place put black olives on tacos and burritos?! it was so unnatural. consulting the menu over and over, nothing stood out to me as unique or particularly appetizing, so i closed my eyes and pointed to a menu in front of the cashier, which i'm sure is what some gambler's do at the roullete wheel.

taking home my shredded beef and chicken burritos as well as an order of their nachos, i weerily presented them to my wife and her friend. all ingredients seriously look like they were the kind you'd buy at sam's club prior to setting up a charity food stand. but somehow, the cominations worked. the bottom line about their food is this: you must use their sauce on every bite, or you will taste the blandness that exudes from their shredded chicken (which is dry like many reviewers said), but their shredded beef was surprisingly well seasoned. the nacho's were absolutely smothered in a nacho cheese/sour cream mixture that had tons of onions (why?!) and tomatoes mixed in and was shockingly, pretty good.

i don't want to come back here again because i figured for the $40 i spent (5 burritos and 1 plate of nachos) that i would get something more fresh. but i haven't visited enoughmexicanplaces around greenwood to know where to really go just yet.

i used to visit roscoes often. it is not authenticmexicanfood but it has a decent flavor. i stopped going about 2 years ago because of terrible customer service. the restaurant also had some cleanliness issues.

simplicity is key, here at this place. the food is so simple that anyone could make this at there house. what you cannot make is the amazing sauces that you will only find at roscoe's. their food, combined with their sauce (texas brushfire is my favorite for flavor), is the best tex-mex in indiana. this is notmexicanfood. do not compare this with el azabache or some place like that. it is totally different. don't go to this place expecting the stoners behind the counter to be jumping for joy when you walk in either. the customer service is not the best experience but its definitely not the worst by any means. i wouldn't change a thing about roscoe's tacos. i've been going there for the past 10 years and i've loved it every time.

proving that 'whole in the walls' can yield you the best food. love the food and the music! when i want "real"mexicanfood i go to amexicanplace....when i want yummy tacos or taco salads, i go here!

i totally love this spot. its good clean simply great but wouldn't call this amexicanspot. don't get me wrong foods good but a paul bunyan taco is not mexican.
