La Roca recently opened in Sissonville, and my friend Erin and I went to check it out. I've been to their sister restaurants in Charleston and Nitro in the past, so I was happy to round out the collection.
The place was poppin' on Friday night. It's one of the few sit-down restaurants in town, so there was a line out the door. Plenty of kids. Moderately noisy.
Upon being seated, we were served chips and salsa and their signature white mayo-ranch style dip, which is pretty divisive. It's a bit sweet and tangy, but I enjoy it as a nice counterpoint to the salsa.
For my entrée, I ordered the huarache, which is a wheat tortilla topped with beans and a combination of salsas, pico de gallo, steak & cheese. This was kinda like an open-faced burrito, but the flavors were pretty punchy. The salsas had some heat, but I enjoyed that depth of flavor. I opted for something not smothered in cheese, so it was fresh and flavorful.
I also enjoyed a jumbo frozen mango. Margarita, which may have been the best I've ever had. Sweet and a bit tart, the drink was delicious.
Have you been? What's your favorite?
