★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Cheeto Florez · Feb 2026

I’ve dined at The Rocket Cafe several times to explore different items on their menu, and overall the experience has been inconsistent. Service is very hit-or-miss. You might get a friendly, informative waitress, or someone who seems to have an attitude. The menus also appear to be outdated — I asked for the Italian pasta as a side and was told it was no longer available, even though it was still listed. My husband ordered a mushroom burger, and we didn’t realize they charge extra for a single slice of cheese until we received the bill. That kind of pricing detail should be clearer upfront. Food-wise, I honestly think pizza and Italian dishes are where they shine and should be their main focus. Many restaurants in Gallup already serve burgers, wings, burritos, and enchiladas, so it woul

My friend had told me about the breakfast they have for $7.95!!!😆🔥I was thinking it was going to be just a plain burrito with nothing else but I was surprised to see refried beans and potatoes, smothered with cheese! every time we order cheese, they charge us extra, but don’t put the extra cheese. Also, the green and the red had a good taste to it and enough seasoning. It wasn’t bland. It was a 10 out of 10, but we wish it open sooner for those who go to work early are able to stop by and pick up there order. usually for a plate like this we pay $20 and you don’t get no beans or potatoes. This is awesome so stop on by if you’re nearby. My go to from now on!!!

46th anniversary dinner. We were promtly seated at a table. The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was lovely. I had the italian soda, which was wonderful. Our waitress was great! We ordered fried zucchini for an appetizer, which was ok. My hubby ordered a cup of tomato florentine soup, which he liked, and shrimp linguini, which we make at home frequently. I had a side salad and asked for tomato because it was plain packaged greens. I also ordered eggplant parm, which was pretty good. The shrimp linguini, however, had HUGE chunks of uncooked garlic. The garlic was completely raw, and there was alot of it. He never complains, so I didn't realize it until we got home with our doggy bag. Maybe the cook needs to be taught to cook the garlic? I have a photo, but can't figure out how to post

Ordered a bacon cheese burger was the nastiest tasting burger I have ever had. Couldn't eat or finish. Would not serve to my dog. I rather stick with a fast food burger. Zero stars if there was an option.
