Customer Reviews
I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was very cute and the vibe was perfect. The menu is quite limited as well as the seating so I'd recommend making a reservation. The food was good but it wasn't great. I would definitely go again if I was downtown but it wouldn't be my top choice. Our table ordered the Queso Fundido and added chorizo. It came with bread which was warm and soft but I instantly wished I had ordered a side of House Tortilla Chips to give that nice crisp. As for the entrees, we ordered Braised Lamb tacos and Al Pastor tacos. The braised lamb was nothing special. Nothing stuck out with that dish. The al pastor tacos were slightly dry. I had avocado crema added when I ordered but still had to get a side of sour cream once I started eating. Overall, it was good. Would go back to
A great tapas bar. It is true tapas without much substitution but very tasty. Thoughtful crafted cocktails and top shelf tequilas to suit all your needs.
Cool spot serving up dishes with big flavor and good service. There aren’t a ton of vegan options on the menu at Roca, but they did have an interesting option! I got the vegan chile relleno. What wasn’t to like? Fried to perfection, great filling that was….well, filling, and tons of flavor. The dish was seasoned well, slightly smokey, and carried a nice level of acidity. Super impressed to find a vegan cream being incorporated here as well. I came hungry, but left filled and happy with my meal. What more can one ask for?
Our waitress was absolutely delightful and super attentive. Not included in the photos are the lovely cocktails we enjoyed. The grilled pulpo was amazing and the lamb tacos with that birria were 10/10! Everything else was also fantastic and we are looking forward to our next visit to try a frw things that looked wonderful but we were too stuffed to indulge in :) thank you for making our engagement anniversary so lovely, and for a very sweet valentine's day!
The atmosphere was awesome, the food however was a huge disappointment. My husband ordered the steak and there was no seasoning at all and I got the enchiladas and they were sour. Nothing we ordered had any hint of Spanish or Mexican food. We needed our meal with 2 bites out of each and the server acted like that was normal. Received the the wrong bill and waited another 10 for the correct check. We had high hopes but the food was very disappointing.
