About US

Our Beginning

La Roqueta started as a dream born from a deep love for Mexican food and the joy of sharing it with others. Our founders, inspired by family recipes passed down through generations, wanted to bring a true taste of Mexico to Minneapolis. Starting with just a few signature dishes—like tacos, enchiladas, and chilaquiles—we focused on flavor, tradition, and creating a space that felt like home. What began as a small idea quickly grew into a neighborhood favorite, thanks to the support of our amazing community and the passion we pour into every plate.

Now

Today, La Roqueta is a beloved spot on Lake Street, known for its vibrant atmosphere and unforgettable flavors. Our menu has expanded, featuring everything from cheesy quesabirrias and savory enchiladas to customer favorites like chilaquiles and freshly made salsas. We’ve become more than just a restaurant—we’re a gathering place for families, friends, and food lovers looking for a genuine Mexican dining experience. Every dish that leaves our kitchen reflects our commitment to quality, tradition, and the community we proudly serve.

Future

At La Roqueta, the future is full of flavor and possibility. We're excited to keep evolving—introducing new recipes, expanding our menu, and exploring fresh ways to share the richness of Mexican cuisine. Whether it’s through catering, events, or a second location, our goal is to bring La Roqueta’s passion to even more people across Minneapolis and beyond. One thing will never change: our dedication to serving food with heart, honoring our roots, and building community—one delicious plate at a time.
