rock retaining-wall (old) -- big holes -- how to fix?

Our driveway is sunk maybe 5 feet down from the

a rock retaining wall. ...
So they're holes between some of the rocks, of
size, at the largest, maybe six inches in both
directions.
Question: what to do about it? ...
Oh, whatever you use to fill up the holes,
do you have to make a big deal of mixing it,
or might it come "ready to use"? Pros and cons?
Just something to keep in mind: Not that I've ever built one, but I see
a lot of tipped over retaining walls. I think is due to water pressure.
IMO, you need good drainage from the back side. One way to do this is
to leave the joints fairly open.
